This seems like a simple question but I keep looking and can't seem to find it anywhere. Do I have to check it out directly from CVS. Is there anywhere I can download the source already compiled. All I really want is to be able to compile PIL. Thanks Joey

I need to register Python 2.1.3 so I can, in turn, install sqlite-python-0.3.1.win32-py2.1.exe, so I can in turn use pysqlite with ZOPE. Is there a way to register the python 2.1.3 that comes w/ZOPE so the pysqlite installer can find it? I tried regsrv32 on python.exe and on python21.dll to no avail. Or is there a way to make a registry...

I don't want to get into a 'which IDE is the best' conversation. I'm looking for an IDE that has the ability to view 2 (or more) methods/functions within the same module simultaneously. I've looked at the screen shots for Komodo, Wing, BlackAdder, etc and it is not obvious that any of them have this feature. This is something I got use to...

I found that when using negative indices, the slice object passed to __getitem__ depends on the number of slices. An example to clarify: class a: def __getitem__(self, index): return index >>> b = a() >>> print b Traceback (most recent call last):

I have a situation where I have, in a string, the name of a class I want an instance of. I've written a factory function to generate the class for me: def controllerFactory( controllerRequired, model ): if controllerRequired == "ViewController": return ViewController( model ) elif controllerRequired == "FontController": return...

How do I check if a value is a number in Python? One way is (x == type(1)) and (x == type(1.2)) and (x == type(2387482734274)) and ... but this seems kludgy. Any better way? Thanks, Rob

Hi, I have a log file and of course I want to add the new information to the end of that log file. Unfortunately I always delete the old information and only append the current info. Right now I do it like this: I call a module which consists of a class and a function. It actually doesn't matter, but I just included it for the sake of...

Does PIL still not have a Group4 Tiff decoder available?

Hello all, I am having difficulty getting the HTTP/1.1 support (i.e. pipelining and persistent connections) for the BaseHTTPServer library to work. When I change the line for the protocol in BaseHTTPServer from "HTTP/1.0" to "HTTP/1.1", the SimpleHTTPServer program can still serve directory listings and even graphics files, but it hangs when I...

I have a question that is not directly Python-related. But I thought I'd ask the most erudite group that I know... :-) When did Windows start accepting the forward slash as a path separator character? At one time, it was accepted as a truism that Windows (like MS-DOS) was different from Unix because Windows used the backslash as the path...

Hi, I'm moving some functionality from the server to the local PC and need to translate some PHP scripts to Python. They just do file manipulation. Anybody know of a PHP to Python translator? Even an alpha or beta program would help. Also, any tips or pitfalls to look out for? I'm a Python/C/C++ programmer who is only aquainted with...

I am trying to reconstruct Python source files from an application I generated from py2exe. I accidentally deleted the sources for the app, but the py2exe-generated executable contains .pyc files for all the sources. I would love to be able to reverse engineer the .pyc files back to the source. I did find some mention in this group of a...

Hi all. Need alittle help here. This is an example from "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python, Chapter 5". It's an open source ebook, so if you feel like it you can find it here: http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ The example uses factorials to explain more complex recursion.
