I'm having trouble nailing down the path to the script directory when building a service. I am trying to read in a config file via ConfigParser. When I run the service in debug mode all is well. When I start it up normally, via 'myservice.py start' I can't get the directory where my service lives. When starting the service normally the...

I think the two script should produce the same results, but not. Why? ---------------- Script #1 ls = ls.extend() print ls -> --------------- Script #2

So, for those that don't actively not-want a Python macro facility. If we are to have it what should it do? 1) Macro definitions should allow Doc strings. 2) There should be a separate statement to import Macro definitions from another file. 3) Existing import of a module file containing module definitions should NOT cause the module files...

Hi everyone! I was just part of a small discussion concerning metaclass features on Python, and one limitation that was appointed was the inability to redefine metaclasses on existent code.

I'm experimenting with using Python as a very low resource usage systems management agent. Currently the best I'm getting is about a 2.4MByte base usage (python interp only) and with application, 4.8MByte memory footprint on WinXP. This is probably too high for sme target systems - ideally under 3MByte memory usage is a good target for a...

Ok, im trying to creat a small simple program that alphabetizes user inputed words. I thought why not just create a def that splits all the words down into char's then take the first char and crosscheck it with all lowercase letters. Then find its position and return the results to the user in order or 1-26! But this takes a long time and the...

If I create a symlink /foo/myprog2.py -> /mydir/myprog.py, everything works as it should, invoking any of /foo/myprog2.py /mydir/myprog.py work in the same way. But if I create another...

I can't figure out why the 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\python23.zip' entry is inside sys.path. That...
