Is there a LyX style sheet to help me write simple Python documentation in the standard format without learning to write raw LaTeX?

Hi all, please note that once I finished writing the script someone explained me that there is a command pwait under Solaris... anyway it was fun to write and it did not take long (while I am not a python guru..). And my version is MUUUCH better :) Is there no standard interfaces to the process table? I only found examples of how to do...

Is Python Megawidgets 1.1 compatible with Python 2.2.3. I'm new to Python and I'm trying to work my way through some example is John Grayson's Python and Tkinter Programming book. He has some sample code that uses the PMW library. The reason I ask is due to a problem that I'm having in trying to run the demo code included with the widget...

I'm running an NT service with a thread. The thread performs a calculation every so often and appends the number to a text file. Every so often the thread just stops - or so it seems. The text file stops getting numbers added to it but the service is still running and no errors have been thrown. I'm quite sure that the code would catch an...

When I use PyErr_SetString() in an extension, python just keeps on chugging instead of acting as though a Python exception had been 'raise'd. Why is this, and do I really have to write the Python code to raise an exception manually after I've used PyErr_SetString()? Most recently, writing an iterator -- I write: if (nextEl == NULL) {...

I'm new to python so appologies to the group if this question is asked often. I'm wondering if it's possible to query an object instance to find out what arguments the instance's __init__ function was called with from *outside* the class's local namespace. For example, if I define a class Foo as follows: import sys class Foo: def...

I have a python script and i want to delete a file on my computer c:\....\...\.. .txt what's the script to do this? I know how to write to files but i also need to know how to delete a file.

I am attempting to distribute my wxPython program with the aid of distutils. I have one C++ module that needs to built on the user's machine. When I run "./setup.py build", the following appears on the terminal: gcc -DNDEBUG -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -Isrc -I/usr/include/python2.2 -c src/bwaa.cc...

Hi, all.... I'm hoping someone can help me. I've downloaded the csv.pyd file from http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/csv/download.html and put it into my C:\Python22\DLLs directory. Typing import csv into a python window results in the following error message:

Here are four more mini-mysteries for your amusement and edification. In this episode, the program output is not shown. Your goal is to predict the output and, if anything mysterious occurs, then explain what happened (again, in blindingly obvious terms). There's extra credit for giving a design insight as to why things are as they are.

Hi, I know that hash functions are often platform-dependent for efficiency reasons. From what I understand, this includes Python's hash(), which I have read is not guaranteed to return the same result across platforms or even across Python versions. Can someone tell me whether an MD5 hash using Python's MD5 library IS guaranteed to...

Ok before I start, please dont mail me telling me to use a more recent version of Python, I _would_ use 2.2.x but due to an existing framework all based on using 2.1.1 I have been specifically told to use 2.1.1 to avoid any crossover issues/problems. Thanks ;-) So ... Using gcc Im compiling Python2.1.1, and it configures quite reasonably,...

Hi, I want to make a UDP client server application that is conform to RFC868 (Time protocol). Both the UDP client and UDP server are in a test phase. The question is: when I add "svrsocket.sendto(resultaat, (ip, port))" in the UDP server, my application closes while running. When I leave it away, it works fine. I really need this...

Hi, I know of poplib, which does what I need except that it doesn't support SSL encryption. imaplib has SSL-support. But I want it with pop3. Is there a library available that does this or do I have to implement it myself? Bye Marco -- Marco Herrn herrn@gmx.net (GnuPG/PGP-signed and crypted mail preferred)

Hello, Python Wizards... I'm trying to use Python to write an aiff file. I've used the aifc module and I've set the parameters (# of channels, encoding rate, compression, etc.) What does raw audio data look like? Is each word of the raw audio data a frequency? If I encode 440 for each of the frames, will I get concert A? Thanks for...

As a service to the visitors of the Gaudi systems architecting website: http://www.extra.research.philips.com/natlab/sysarch/ I have added a page with links to Python resources at http://www.extra.research.philips.com/natlab/sysarch/PythonLinks.html It is my intention to have this page as a quick starting point for system architects.

How do I get Python to work with foreign characters? When I try to print them, I get a unicode error (characters not ASCII). Wasn't unicode invented for the express purpose of working with non-ASCII characters?

Hi I am new here and so in python :-) I am trying to make a script for extracting (parsing?) some values from a file and write them into an output i thought to follow this example (cookbook): #!/usr/bin/env python import os, sys nargs = len(sys.argv)

Hello Python community, I am trying the echo-client and echo-server examples in Chapter 10, "Programming Python" by Mark Lutz. It is probably the most simple sockets sample: A socket server just echoing the socket clients' requests. The program works so far. I first start the server in one dos box, then the client in another dos box on...

I have recently installed pySNMP 3.3.2 and use Python 2.2.2. Thanks to Peter Hansen, I succeeded to install pySNMP properly. I'm not completely new to SNMP (I know the basics), but I'm new to Python and pysnmp. While experimenting, I find some strange things. When using pySNMP: 1) I can type: 'import pysnmp' or 'from pysnmp import *' 2)...
