I'm sure I'm not using the conventional names for this tool, more of a cross-referencer?. I couldn't find it on Google, I think for this reason. I need a tool that will go through a python module (ClientForm in this case) and allow me to specify a starting module to parse and tell me what all it uses. What I'm trying to do is to take...

I have been defining new class methods when I'm trying to simplify some code. But I'm thinking I should just define functions within that method because they aren't useful from the outside anyway. Example: Before: class Mess(object): def complicated(self, count):

Is there a python equivalent of the C ternery operator? I.e.: fred = (x == 1) ? 12 : 15 If not, what's the best way to construct the same logic? Regards

Dear all, My college used C for beginner course and use Java to demostrate OO concept. Anyway, I tried python and found that it is a very good language. I think many people spend time on Java and university uses Java because Sun Microsystem spends much money to promote and develop the Java language. I just feel that our world spends...

Hi, I'm writing a plugin based application with python 2.1 but I really have some trouble with creating a package. My directory structure is: Skib/Server/Python/: skib skibserver

Hi all I have made some pages where PHP produces a menu and gets the contents from separate files. It works okay. But something I read made me wonder if there smarter ways to access the content file. At present I use include($content). Now I realize that this means that the conten file is PHP-parsed. I use that in some cases so I...

Hi, today I (Python beginner) ran into a problem:^ I have a JPG file which contains some comment as unicode. After reading in the string with s=file.read(70) from file offest 4 I get a string which is shown as 'UNICODE\\0x00\\ox00K\\0x00o' and so forth in the debugger (using Komodo).

Is it potentially dangerous to use the variable 'object' in code? Thanks, Daniel Klein

Awhile ago, in response to confusion about the meaning of "iterable", I decided the Python documentation needed a glossary and created one with that single entry. Adding a glossary to the documentation with a single term seemed kind of pointless, so I didn't check anything into CVS. I'm still interested in getting this off the ground,...

A while back, I saw a thread asking if the standard lib modules would be modified to use the new logging module, and it got me thinking. As the new-style classes will be default for 2.4, will the standard lib modules be modified accordingly? Thanks John

I have written this utility class that has a method which calls another method. I don't want to pass in the self parameter and was wondering by doing this does it make the function to be private or uncallable outside of the class. This code below works, but I didn't really want to pass self into testBob1(ideally having it as private), I...

Hi I am posting this on both the perl and python groups My intention is not to start a war or anything else, I would just like some pragmatic advice. My apologies to the python group I am not very conversant with Python at this stage. that could change soon though.

Hi- I'm writing some CGI stuff and I'm doing it in python to force myself to learn the language. Anyway, I want to include some html at the top of every page but I'm not sure how. If the header is in header.html, what is the python-ese way of printing that out in my html? Thanks for the help.

Particularly in Windows, how do create installation packages for python scripts? I've noticed that PyOpenGL and PyGame use a pretty nice installer, and some games I've seen install and run without even needing python installed. How is this done?

I'm new to Python, and I've noticed the following: >>> def f(a,b): a+=b >>> def g(a,b): a=a+b >>> p= >>> q= >>> r= >>> s=

I'm trying to make a custom entry widget, as in the code that follows. There are two problems I'm trying to fix: 1) I would like the widget to behave as myEntry.Escape() does now, except that it happens on loss of focus, not when pressing Esc. 2) TABbing between multiple entry fields does undesired things with the selection, and with...

I have an XRC file that contains a complete menubar. I load this menubar into a frame with: self.ResMenu = wxXmlResource("menus.xrc",0) self.MenuBar = self.ResMenu.LoadMenuBar("MenuBarEditor") self.SetMenuBar(self.MenuBar) Then set up a menu event handler: EVT_MENU(self, XRCID("MenuItemSnapToGrid"), self.OnSnapToGrid)

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows whether it's possible to use the Python port to the Swiss Ephemeris with the latest version Python 2.3? I downloaded it from the vault, and it worked fine with Python 2.2.2, but then when I switched to Python 2.3 it gives me this error: "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be...

Hi there! I need help for cgi-script. I've been fiddling around for quite a while, searched through lots of doc. But I didn't get it: Can someone point me a way to change a list with arbitrary number of items to a string :

On my mailserver (running a recent Postfix snapshot) I get this since a few hours: mylene:/var# mailq -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient------- DA10713E37 1617 Wed Sep 3 11:32:46 gh@ghaering.de (lost connection with mail.python.org while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once)...

I've just been writing some code to merge items from a collection of streams, where each item has a key, and each stream is known to be sorted in ascending order of key. I read all the streams once, then pick the minimum element of the results, replace it with a new one read from the corresponding stream, and repeat. Thing is, what...
