Can't find it. I mean something like: >> m1 = Money(decimal=2) >> m2 = Money(decimal=2) >> m1.value = 3.20 >> m2.value = 2.15 >> print m1 + m2 5.35

This may be a naive question, but since Python 2.3 added a handy little DictMixin class to its UserDict module it seems to me like UserList.ListMixin and maybe even UserString.StringMixin should have followed (although I'm not sure how useful a StringMixin class would really be). I'm just curious. Is there a reason these classes weren't...

Hello, I'm looking for a graphic debugger for python on linux like DDD or GVD. I tried pdb and pdb-mode for emacs, but I would use a more gvd-like debugger. -- Maxime Biais

Hi List I want to effectively 'tail' the NT event log - i.e. when a new event arrives in the log, parse it and decide whether to take an action. The track I've gone down is to create an event, and use event notify change; code snippet..... win32event.CreateEvent(.....) win32evtlog.NotfiyChangeEventLog(...)

(I apologize in advance if this is not an appropriate posting) I have written a simple windows shareware app, EzPicMailer, in Python 2.3, wxPython 2.4.1, and PIL 1.1.4 that lets computer novices find photo files, edit them, and mail them, all in one simple app. Everyone is encouraged to check out my beta version at http://EzPicMailer.com....

Hi, I'm trying to build a new web site for the GNU Backgammon project, and I want a cgi program to fetch the file faq.texi from the projects cvs and then display it on web page formatted with html. I get the file with urllib2. No problem. But how can I parse it and display it? I see there is a file in the Python23/Tools/Scripts/...

I am using distutils to build a python extension module on win32. I initialize the Extension class with a list of libraries with Extension("_gd", , include_dirs=incdirs, library_dirs=libdirs, libraries=libs, define_macros=macros)], and am using VC6++ where libs is a list . Distutils produces a link command with the required libraries as

I gather that a "new style" class inherits from object. Is this to be considered the way to make all classes from now on? If not, when will I know to inherit from object? I noticed that it clutters up pydoc output. Thanks, Tobiah

I know I can do things like s=Set(range(1,11)) s=Set(filter(lambda x:x%2==0,s)) But this seems a bit slow since filter returns a list which then must be converted back to a set. Any tips? Thanks!

Hi- I'm getting a "DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float" warning with mx.DateTime and I can't figure out why. Can anyone help me out? This code: import mx.DateTime

Are there any performance/size differences between using tuples and using lists? -- -- Every sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology - Arthur C Anticlarke

I was bitten by a bug today that depended on how lambda works. It took me quite a while to realize what was going on. First, I made multiple lambda functions inside a loop, each of which depended on the current loop variable. >>> a = >>> for index in range(5): a.append(lambda: index)

I am attempting to compile python 2.1 from the source on a RedHat 9.0 system. The problem is that a openssl header file (kssl.h) requires krb5.h which isn't in the usual place (/usr/include). Instead krb5.h gets installed at usr/kerberos/include. The openssl version is 0.9.7a-2. When I build python, the ./configure works fine but the...

Why is there the pass statement? I think, the expression statement would be enough: class C: None while True: None

How can I make 2 visits to a website session related with python's urllib? For example, I want my first visit to login ebay.com, next visit to obtain my listed items info on ebay. How can I make it? Most web servers use session management (most use cookies), but how can I tackle session communications at client side? Appreciate any helps.

Is there an equivalent to Scheme's LET in Python? LET creates a new binding in the current environment. For example, here's some Scheme code: (let ((x 3)) (let ((f (lambda (arg) (* arg x)))) (let ((x 4)) (f 5))))

The yield statement looks to be a big step toward some kind of lightweight concurrency-oriented programming in python. Is there any similarly nice way to do the opposite of yield, just sit around (perhaps in the middle of a loop) and wait until some other routine (unknown to the waiting module) hurls a value in? If this is not implemented...
