I think Jason Orendorff's path module is really nice: http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/ Beats the hell out of os.path, which is an ugly thing indeed. The OO interface means you could use the interface nicely to implement other things, like URLs. The problem? It's just some module. The various os functions (of which path...

Hi, I have a problem because I don't know how to start my script automatically after a special event happens. In detail: I store data from a PLC. Every 30 seconds the data is stored in a new file. After the file is stored I would like to start my script that analyzes the data right away. Any help how to do this is deeply appreciated.

Also has anybody got any references to more info about Python using COM? Thanks Tom

The documentation on this module doesn't seem very clear to me... there's an 'HTTPSHandler' object documented, but it just lists the "https_open" function without giving an example of its use. And the urllib2 examples page shows a totally different way to create an HTTPS connection (just by making a Request object). There is a lot of talk...

Hi all, I have written a little while ago in Python a game whose aim is to program a (or several) robots so that they move around in a maze and collect some flags. They only have a limited amount of instructions at their disposal (depending on the level). It is meant to be an introduction to two things: - programming

Last night I was compiling the latest python snapshot at my home Linux system (a K6-III @420 --the extra 20 Hz is overclocking :); then I tried building a shared version of the interpreter. I did some speed comparisons, and pystone reported ~6090 pystones for the shared and ~7680 pystones for the (default) static build. This is quite a...

Regarding ODBC usage in Python... it seems to me that there is a couple of ways to use odbc from python, one of these is the MX version - now that one has a pretty steep licence cost (imho). So now comes my question (from reading this group quite a bit): - what is the basic reason for using MX versus the others? - why do you (newsgroup)...

On windows 2000 I tried to use winprocess.py with the login option. In an effort to run as a diffrent user. It didn't work and lots of searching didn't help. This was my best hit. http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/4466 Worked around the problem using runas.exe This is as far as I got. The following code tries to give me...

I am trying to get the latest file from an ftp site that matches a pattern and is the latest one. I have it in Perl and would like to see the Python version for comparison. Perl version: # this matches the name only by looking at files # that start with 8 numbers (i.e. 20021203) foreach(@list) { if(m/\d{8}.*x86.exe/) {

I have a script that I use to control our build process. It is a general purpose script that exec's other scripts that contain project specific python code. In one of those other, project-specific, scripts I exec a third script. That third script is failing because it can't seem to 'import' successfully. It seems that if one 'exec's a...

Hi people! Does anyone know how-to automatically print an html doc using Internet Explorer ??? I've tried these ways: 1) wxHtmlEasyPrinting 2) win32api.ShellExecute

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has seen this behavior before for the process.py module available at http://starship.python.net/crew/tmick/. I've been using it quite well on windows 2000 servers, but when I try to use it on a window nt 4.0 box I get the results posted below. I have both process.py and which.py installed. Any help you...

I was surprised by the following behavior. Apparently, the "!=" operator does not fall back to using "not __eq__()". I tested this with Python 2.1, 2.2, and 2.2 with new-style classes and got the same results in every case. >>> class foo: .... def __eq__(self, other): .... return (other.__class__ is self.__class__ .... ...

ok, fairly new to python, relatively familiar w/ ms-sql. here's my issue: my .py script parses the contents of a (tab delim.) flat file, then attempts to insert the information into the db. I've been fighting this for a day or so, and i'm stuck on the db insertion... basically the script uses .readlines() to capture the flat file...
