Hi,
I am basically a linux person being made to work on windows. and i have
been given a limited version of the windows i guess - for it doesn't
provide a proper help option :(. I sorely miss working on linux. but
now, I need to get the current date and if possible the current time as
well, from the system. I tried a lot of the inbuilt functions (like
localtime()) but it gave me errors that i couldn't rightly comprehend.
could anybody help me out with the function and its syntax, please?
Thanks a lot for your time and patience.
regards,
Scam.

Are you a programmer or a luser? _Quote_ error messages, damn it! How
the blazes are we to help you solve your problem when all you're saying
is "it doesn't work"? I expect that kind of error report from my
clueless users, not from a colleague.
could anybody help me out with the function and its syntax, please?
If localtime() doesn't do the same thing under Windows as it does under
Linux, then either your Windows implementation is not a real C compiler,
or your Linux one isn't real C, or both. Or perhaps you weren't using it
correctly on Linux in the first place? We can't tell unless you post
code.

Service Pack 7 fixes that (and all other Windows problems), and is
downloadable for free, from: http://www.isolinux.org

I am having a lot of problems trying to get a Python CGI to run.
I have included 3 parts...
1) A simple stripped down python module.
2) An output of what I get when I do: python index.py
(which not suprisingly should generate HTML output, and it does)
3) And the "error_log" output from the "server error" I get when I run
it
by typing in: http://localhost/cgi-bin/index.py

Windows doesn't have a HOME environment variable, but it does have
HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH. Could Windows versions of Python automatically
populate os.environ with HOME, where HOME =
os.path.join(os.environ, os.environ)?
If this was done, then modules such as pdb, which load resource files
from HOME, would work under Windows.
Alternatively, here is a patch to make pdb.py read .pdbrc under
Windows.

Is there any way I can get the application path (the one returned by
Request.ApplicationPath) in the Application_Start method in
Global.asax? Request is not valid there. On a related note, is there a
way to get it from a static method in an aspx page, or in the class
(static) constructor for an aspx page?
Thanks,

If I call os.environ.clear in a python program child processes still
see the deleted entries. But when I iterate over the keys like so
names = os.environ.keys
for k in names:
del os.environ
then the entries are also deleted for the child processes. Where is
the difference? Is this a bug?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
