I *foolishly* started a Python project (3 years ago) with considering Unicode issues. Now, I want to resolve future problems with international versions of my software. The key point here is Tkinter.

I first came across rebol a while ago; it seemed interesting but then i was put off by its proprietary nature, although the core of the language is a free download. Recently however, i can't help but say i was totally impressed. I needed an open source wikiblog/wikilog, whatever you wanna call it, basically a hybrid of a blog and a wiki. I...

Hi, apparently there is a very famous book that every developer should read: Code complete by Steve McConnell ! Is there an electronic version freely downloadable ? After all, the book was released in 1993 , it should have been public domain by now ! It would be nice to have a try before ! 50€ is not exactly cheap ! What do you think ?...

Hallo Newsgroup, I have the following problem: I work with Python 2.2 and invoke functions via CORBA ( I use onmiORB/omniORBpy) on a server. The server provides me a function, where the 3 arguments are out-arguments and the return is void / None. How can I get these out arguments? I have read that every argument is seen as local to the...

Dear All, I need a way of writing strings or arbitrary Python code that will a) allow the strings to be read again unchanged (like repr) b) write multiline strings as multiline strings instead of escaping the \n's. A repr function that output triple-quoted strings with explicit (non-escaped) linebreaks would be perfect.

The development version of the documentation has been updated: http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/ This update fixes a few formatting problems, including the mysteriously dropped cells in the "standard encodings" table. Also in this update, printing an HTML page from a browser with a good CSS2 implementation will not produce the second...

Hi, I've read lot of messages on googlegroups without finding what I'm looking for :-( I need a plugin that enables me to access a python VM directly from excel (the COM server path is not satisfactory as it uses the registry). Grosso modo, if I have the equivalent of the python module/plugin of

In the text component, I use the insert method to insert a line of text. Initially, I set the foreground colour of the text component to yellow, that is, all text is yellow. What I'd like to do is have different strings have different coloured text. You can't change the foreground color of the text component without changing all the...

I have a Python program which runs as user 'www' (it's a CGI). It needs root privilege to write a particular file. What's the best way of doing this while remaining secure? Right now I do os.system("sudo myutil parms") and pass the parms to it. I remove : < > & | from the parm string before passing it. Is there a way to do this without...

We have an application which involves storing a lot of strings in RAM. It would be most convenient to use Unicode strings, but I am wary of doubling memory usage. My fear is based on the idea that unicode strings may take two bytes per character in order to accomodate non-ascii characters. But I don't know whether that's actually how Python...

Hi all, I am new to Tk, so please bear with me. I need someone better at math than me to help me figure this out. I am drawing multiple arcs on the same circle. All arcs start at 90 and have varying negative extents (different colors, goes all the way around. Represents a microbial genome). So now that my arcs are drawn, I would would...
