Hello; I am trying to protect some global data, which may, in the future, be accessed by threads. I'm not sure how to implement a locking mechanism in python. Here is the idea I'm trying to express: class resourceManager(object): def __init__(self): self.__resources = 100

Does anybody know how to get a return code or any errors from a python script that has been made into a exe using py2exe? Right now when I run my script.exe it always returns 0 even if the script fails.

Hi- I need to make a class for quartlerly dates. I need to be able to compare two quarterly dates and get the number of quarters between them. For example: >>> 2001q1 = qDate(year=2001, quarter=1) >>> 2001q4 = qDate(year=2001, quarter=4) >>> 2001q4 - 2001q1

I'm trying to think in Python, but am stumped here... What is the equivalent for the following if you are dealing with a tuple of non-strings? >>> import string >>> foo = ( '1', '2', '3' ) >>> string.join( foo, '.' ) '1.2.3'

Hi All, Does anybody get an operationnal version of Grail which turn on windows ? Regards Salvatore

I did more investigation into my previous problem and what happens is that my text file has \r for representing a new line instead of a \n. is there a way to tell the readlines function that the symbol for a newline is \r rather than \n ? right now the readlines function reads the\r as another item in the list and just puts everything into...

How much memory WebKit should normally take??? As I can see, every WebKit daemon takes over 40MB (sic!) of RAM. WebKit lauches 10 daemons during startup, so I need over 400MB for WebKit alone! Is it normal or I have something wrong configured? (used RedHat7 and Webware CVS 2003-09-12) I compared the same with Windows XP Pro workstation. It...

Ok, I miss the idiom that my other languages use, something like: while( foo = getmore()){ process(foo); }

python : i am a python novice and i am reading in a text file of say 500 lines with the fields in each line elimited by a "|" and there are 90 records in each line. my normal reading of text lines algorithm ( using readlines, and then strip the "|" and then append into a list) seems to be working strangely because it's reading all...

While setting up some unit tests, I came to the conclusion that a Tkinter Text widget can never be empty, but will always (?) contain a \n. Here is a brief example: >>> import Tkinter >>> t = Tkinter.Text() >>> t.get(0.0, Tkinter.END) '\n' >>> t.delete(0.0, Tkinter.END) >>> t.get(0.0, Tkinter.END)

The line below looks up the name "öttinger" (with the German umlaut) of an author using the mysql console: mysql> select author from records where author like '%Öttinger%'; This successfully finds all entries in the records database where "öttinger" is the author or the co-author. In a web form, the user enters "öttinger" and wants...

Hi, For my education I'd like to take a peek at "CGI Uploader", an old script that can be found on Vaults Of Parnassus ( http://py.vaults.ca/apyllo.py? find=uploader ). Unfortunately that is hosted on Parnassus itself : http://www.vex.net/~x/python_stuff.html I can access the page itself, but no file linked there will actually

Hi, Is there a option in PythonWin to write files in unix file mode? Regards Masiar

how do i use smtplib to send mail to someone with "cc" to someone else? if i just include the "to" addressees in the call to smtplib.sendmail(), and put the others in the "Cc" header fields, only the "To" recipients get the mail, thought the mail headers look right. but if i also add the "Cc" folks to the list of recipients in the call to...

Hi, all! I'm relatively new to Python, but have definitely fallen in love with it. It reminds me of Mesa (old Xerox development language) and LISP a bit. Anyway, on to the question. Now that Unicode 4.0 has been released (just got my copy today), any guesses on how long before the unicodedata module will be updated to include all the new...

I'm convinced to try Python! I've read many posts, and although I recently bought a book on C to start learning it, I'd like to give Python a good chance. What IDE would you recommend for someone who needs easiness of use with a background of Pascal and VB for MS Office? I've definitely changed to Linux now and I would like a free IDE...

Is there any way to force getopt to process one option first??

For the moment, I'm restricted to 2.2 versions. TIA . . . . Dan

Hello, I know how to print a string without the trailing newline with a coma like : print "hello word", but this example add a white space after the string :( Do you know how to avoid this white space without using write()

So I thought I had come to peace with binding in Python, but then this happened to me: I was trying to do things the Python way (as opposed to the Scheme way) as was suggested to me, and so here's a shortened version of my program: def getGenres(title): #it takes a movie title and returns a list of genres that the movie falls into ...
