Hi, I have received your email, but it may take a while to respond. I'm really sorry to have to hook up this auto-responder, as it is so impersonal. However, I get a lot of email every day and find it very difficult to keep up with it. Please be patient while I try to get to your message. Please feel free to resend your message if you...

I have some code like this... self.write( ''' lots of stuff here with %(these)s named expressions ''' % vars(self) ) Then I wanted to add an item to the dict vars(self), so I tried :

Does Python have a function that is analogous to C's write() or fwrite()- that is , I want to write a file (of arbitrary data) that is 100K, or 1MB (or more) bytes long.. Both write() and fwrite() in C allow the user to specify the size of the data to be written. Python's write only allows a string to be passed in.

Thank you for your email. The Linguistic Data Consortium will be closed on Monday, September 1, 2003 in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Your email will be read on Tuesday, September 2. Kind regards, Ilya

Hello, I was able to unearth some ancient documentation suggesting Modules/Setup has to be edited by hand (after ./configure) to compile tkinter. The short info at http://www.python.org/topics/tkinter/download.html doesn't mention this, instead it is a bit contradictory first stating that tk is part of python and then that Unix users must...

hi, I've python 2.3 and apache 2.0.47 installed on my SuSE8.2. when trying to compile modpython into apache, make stops with the error ---- In file included from /usr/local/include/python2.3/Python.h:8, from /home/software/network/apache/mod_python-3.0.3/src/include/mod_python.h:92, from requestobject.c:64:...

Previous to Python 2.3 my app has destroyed the root Tk window using root.destroy rather than the more usual root.quit. In Python 2.3 this does not work so well. In some situations (i.e., for some data), Tk (not Tkinter) complains that an "after" routine does not exist that has been registered with the Tkinter after routine. Moreover, in...

Hello, I have seen an old post (http://dbforums.com/t552213.html) refering to the support for dde hot links in win32all. With dde module I can build a DDE server that notifies clients (VB and Delphi clients) of changes (using SetData method) and it works great. The problem is that I also would like to code a Python dde client that can be...

I am just starting to code some c extensions, and have been experimenting with both the Borland and MSVC compilers. Everything works, but I have a basic question. When using Borland, I have to make an OMF version of Python23.lib. Does this mean I now have two copies of the python interpreter? Or maybe I should ask another question. Suppose I...

I downloaded the beginner package from the "Python" site, and would like to know my next move. Should I wade through the site, or are there some exorcises I can do to get started in the process of learning how to program. TIA, Rich

Hi, I'd like to know if is it possible to make python communicate with a webcam. Of course, I think it is possible... but I don't know if there is a specific module for this kind of work. Can anyone give me a council? Thanks

I was looking for a way to call ShellExecuteEx() in python (from W2K), and found win32sh, but it seems to be active only in PythonCE. Any idea why? Plus, I found the source http://www.murkworks.com/Research/Python/PythonCE/PythonCEWiki/uploads/win32sh.cpp but not any associated project. For else I would probably try to roll my own win32sh...

I got this error: undefined reference to `_imp___Py_NoneStruct' But when I used VC++, everything is ok, why???

Hello all, I've googled a bit, and I've failed to find an answer to this question. Is it possible to get a classes name from inside of a class? I.e., class Foo: def print_classname(self): # somehow print Foo Basically, I'm using WebWare, and I need to pass the current servlet name to a template. I don't want to have to hardcode the...

Is there a way to copy a PIL image to windows clipboard (as a dib image or a bitmap, I suppose)? What I would like to accomplish is to do a fast copy and paste of images from my python application to a windows application such as powerpoint. A slower way is to use files, which is what I am doing at the moment. Thanks in advance.

I try to get all logical drives of a remote machine (WinNT or W2K) and get a result, that gives me the expected total but not all expected drives. Example: >>> win32net.NetServerDiskEnum('nor1w020', 0) gives me: (, 8, 0) while the machine has the local drives A: C: D: E: F: G: H: Z:

hi, using zope/pythons/page templates i need to format a float number to a string like 10,250.10 (note the thousand separator and the trailing zero in the decimal) i was able to use %0.2f bit that returned no thousand separator. i was able to use thousands_commas function but that returned "10,250.1" which is wrong.

Hello, I am trying to integrate C++ with Python. I read that Python does automatic garbage collection. I am creating new objects in C++ and passing to Python, I don't know now who should control deleting the objects. If I create objects in C++ do I have to clean them or Python will use GC to remove unwanted objects. Bye. csv

Please help! Very strange installation problem. First, let me say I successfully installed and use Python 2.2.3 and 2.3 from the EXE binaries on a win ME machine. That machine previously had 1.5.2, and now I have access to all 3 versions. When I tried to do the same on an older machine, however, running Win98 SE (and having had Python...
