Hi everyone, I have a python cgi program that uses print statements to write html. The program has grown, and for reasons I won't bore you with, I need to build the page in a string and "print" it at once. I remember reading somewhere that building the string with successive "+=" statements is inefficient, but I don't know any...

I noticed in the documentation that they have ssl() in Python, but it says only if configured. I just can't find info on how to configure SSL in Python. My goal is to write a simple p-2-p chat, but have all info encrypted between clients. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Chris

How would I call a java constructor which takes a java.lang.CharSequence as argument. Say, the java class goes like this class X { public X(CharSequence s) { ... } } In the jython interpreter I tried along the lines of x = X("bla")

A Question about the C API When PyObject_GetIter(PyObject *o) returns o itself, becuase it is already an iterator, does it reset the iteration too? Or does it never have an effect on the iteration's state? Thanks, jan

Hi I'm trying to pipe data into a python program on Windows 2000, on the command line. Like this: dir | myProgram.py Here's what I tried:

I can't import MySQLdb on OS X 10.2.6 Downloaded the package from sourceforge, got it to build after some messing about with setup.py, and now I have _mysql.so and all its little friends in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages But still I get: >>> import MySQLdb

Hi, would it be a good idea to add a .filter() method to a set object, which behaves like the builtin filter() but resulting in a set? I often see myself doing sets.Set(filter(f, someset))... Would this be a good addition to sets.Set? yours, Gerrit.

(Is this an appropriate place to ask wxPython questions?) Here's some code (line breaks put in without testing them, I'm kinda a newbie hope they're ok): <busted.py> from wxPython.wx import * class MyFrame(wxFrame):

I have an object of a class I wrote myself, and now I want to copy it. How do I do it? The reason I want to copy it is because if I simply use copied_object=existing_object, when I later change "copied_object", "existing_object" is changed as well, and I dont want it to happen. Thanks.

Hi, I have a programming design question. I would like to do this in Python, but I am not even sure about what tools are proper or where to start reading. I am trying to make a small network system where several client computers connect to a server. each client can send messages to the server which must alert all of the clients of the...

In debugging Python GC actions, it's really useful to know the amount of time Python spends doing the GC cycle (i.e. the pause time). I made a quick hack to do this, and I've attached the patch. It needs to be fixed to be portable. I wanted to just call floattime() from timemodule.c, but it wasn't clear how to do this from gcmodule.c. My...

Hi, I have big problem when i try generate a PNG image with transparent background. When i open a source PNG file with tranasparent background everything is going well but not in IE.

Spambayes CVS, Python 2.2.3, FreeBSD 5.1 On my machine I'm lunching the pop3proxy with cron at startup, and all is fine. But... sometimes during startup, or after a one or two days, the process exits with the following error... Is a BSD select related problem? Is an asyncore problem? Is a spambayes problem?

Hi all, I am quite new to python and very new to this list. I've got following problem. I have a binary file which contains information I should read. I can open the file with f = open ('cpu1db2.dat', 'rb') That's no problem. But now I need the hex values of the binary file.

Hi! Are there any standard list methods for getting the intersection and difference of two lists? (The union is easy ("list1.extend(list2)"), unless you want it to contain unique values.) Here is what I would like to have: list1 = list2 =

How can I make executables with python? I found some utilities that claim they can do something like that like Installer and py2exe but they actualy pack the code in a huge arhive! This solves the problem of giving python programs to users who don't have python but doesn't solve the problem of the source "secrecy" (copyright). And the...

Hi, I am pretty new to BC and python. I just designed a GUI with Boa Constructor. It looks good, but now I have two problems: 1.) I already wrote a script in Python and want to run it in my GUI now. My script is not a class or anything like that. I usually just run it with Ctrl+F5 and it works perfectly. What do I have to tell my event...

Is it possible to write a Audio CD Player by using python only?

Hi all, I try to connect to several hosts at once to verify whether a certain service is running. Now it's quite stupid to connect to one after another, cause if I do this I'll wait forever if some hosts don't respond (at least until TCP timeout). But if I connect to several hosts in parallel and use polling objects I'm stuck - I don't...

Good day all, Ok, I'm starting to get the hang of this Python thing...really pretty cool actually. Again, thanx to those that have helped me thus far. I now have another stumbling block to which I would like help. Ok, here is my enviroment: Windows 2K

I can't iterate over os.environ, while a 'hand-made' dictionary works. It works fine with python 2.2.3 under FreeBSD 4.8. I looked through the release notes but didn't find anything I thought applied, so I guess I'd just like to know if this is something peculiar to my system, or is it more wide-spread? Here's what I get: : molin$~; python...

Hi folks, I have a splitter window in a GUI that I built. I added a TextCtrl window to the right side of my splitter window. Because I don't want to add anything else to this side of the window it would be great if the TextCtrl window could fill out the complete side. I couldn't find the appropriate command or configuration to resize the...

Say I have the following module named "mymodule" import string var1 = 'a' var2 = 'b' And I want to import its symbols into another script: from mymodule import *
