QOTW: "The best use for a bug report on comp.lang.python is as an object lesson for your grandchildren: 40 years from now you can search the archives for it, and tell the little darlings 'see? if I had only put that on SourceForge instead, the bug would have been fixed by now'." -- Tim Peters "I thought we made dictionaries out of...

I'd like, from the command line of the python interpreter, to get the effect of having typed in the contents of some text file; the sort of thing I'd expect a "load" command to do. I can do "python prog.py", but that doesn't leave me in the interpreter afterwards, and I'd often like to set some variables, load a program, and poke about to...

Hi, I don't know if I should ask this here or on an emacs group/list. If I choose wrong, please forgive me. I am trying to run pychecker on the current buffer on python-mode using the py-pychecker-run command, but it fails with the "Symbol's function definition is void: read-shell-command" error. I don't know elisp, but seems this is the...

Oops. Should have mentioned in my post.. I am using a Redhat 9 machine with python2.2, PMW1.2 and BLT2.4z. Thanks, Sriram

Using Python 2.3 and ZSI 1.2 I am having problems getting information back from a test web service running on a PC on our LAN. The SOAP request details (from the .asmxfile) are as follows: POST /rjetest/rjetestservice.asmx HTTP/1.1 Host: grouse Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length SOAPAction:...

Hi, Where I can specify more linking search directories for a Python module that makes a gcc build? Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH on command line does not seem to propagate to the linker. Jari root@w2kpicasso:/usr/share/site-python/xmldiff-0.6.3# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I have an ASP page which is returning a chart image that's being dynamically generated (by writing to the response object). When I try and access that page with httplib (to download said image), I keep encountering an HTTP1.1 server error. However, I've tried the same URL in Internet Explorer and Mozilla with no problems at all. Is there...

I'm trying to get a simple service to work with py2exe and python 2.3 I get this error when I start it (after registering it) The description for Event ID ( 240 ) in Source ( UMXWIN32SVC ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The...

I've tried p = open('LPT1:','wb') p.write('test') and it doesn't work. I've also tried win32print's WritePrinter and it doesn't work either. Does anyone know of an easy way to print strings and such from within a python script to windows' printers?

Hi! I want to parse a file that looks like this: a0001: basbasdb asbddsb asdbasdb abasbd a0002: fffff ffff

How difficult do you think would be an engine that with minimal tuning by "macro stylesheets" would provide an automatic equivalent in target computer language syntax, to the original documentation of a ported language library? while keeping human language as close to unchanged as possible? First targets would obviously be the swallowing by...

Hello, Hope this will interest a few. I been working with a friend on the problems given out during the "International Collegiate Programming Contest" (ICPC) http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/ . Started out just trying to find the solutions and then moving on, to "aggressively" trying to find the best solution for each problems. First started to...

Hi, When using os.popen, or popen2.Popen3 objects, I see a situation when the child process sometimes doesn't get terminated, even when the child program has exited. It's like Python (2.2.3) intermittently leaves the process dangling. Sometimes 'killall python' doesn't clean up these dead tasks. The only solution I've found has been to...

Hello, I have following question: is there any (free) possibility to connect to an informix database in pyhton 2.2 (here 2.2.2 on Solaris 2.5 sparc). I found some modules, but they are all written to pyhton 1.5.x - and if possible I would not like to downgrade. Thanks! Jan

Any idea when the ActivePython distribution for 2.3 will be available? --Hemanth
