Hi.
I have a problem with a subroutine in a cgi script that's supposed to
return the byte location at the end of a file, which the script then
stores as a hidden input on a web form.
Unfortunately, even though it works fine in the python shell, in the
cgi-script it always returns "0". That's no use to me at all.
Here's the subroutine..... .
def getLastByteLoc( log):
#open log file
f = open(log)
#seek to end of log file.
f.seek(0,2)
location = f.tell()
f.close()
return location

Not sure about a fix for the seek() problem, by can't you just use
os.stat() to get the size of the file?

If you want to use that routine, you might want to return something distinctive in case
of exceptions. E.g., perhaps the cgi prog can't see the file the way you are specifying it
(is it a full path? Is that legal in the context of the cgi, which are sometimes constrained
to access down a particular subtree?) or doesn't have adequate permissions (cgi is probably
running as "nobody" or some other server user id, and running in a different default directory).
Here's the subroutine..... .
def getLastByteLoc( log):
#open log file
f = open(log)
#seek to end of log file.
f.seek(0,2)
location = f.tell()
f.close()
return location

I'm looking for a design to a problem I came across, which goes like
this (no, it's not homework):
1. There is a (single inheritance) hierarchy of domain classes, say
A<-B<-..<-Z (arrows point to the parent in the inheritance tree).
2. This hierarchy evolved over time to different versions for each
class. So for example, version's 1 hierarchy would be A_v1 <-B_v1
<-..<-Z_v1.
3. At runtime, only one version is selected by a factory...

I have a frameset consisting of 3 frames: top, left and right.
In top frame: body onload calls a js init function to set (or resets) values

Problem: When clicking the browser 'update' this doesnt work:

I have a form with an unbound text box. The text box has a default value of

text box when the form is opened (instead of the Date). Anyone have an idea
of what might be causing this?

Hello. I am puzzled. A line of the form

I have a windows solutions containing three forms. All works fine until I customize a form's Icon property. The icon displays fine in the IDE but if I try to run the application it throws "System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException" before the main from is displayed. I've looked in the corresponding resx file and there is an entry for the icon. Why am I getting this problem and more importantly how do I fix it

I used Google and found some references for integer in Java.
But "int" not only does not work, it also prevents reading X and Y
coordinates of the mouse.
What i would like to do:
1) Get X and Y mouse coordinates into a variable that i can do real math on.
So far, i can do math on the values "read" and that result goes into
a "variable" that is useful *only* for display.
If i try "int" in that math, the values are then zero for everything...

When working with GDI+, calling the CreateGraphics method to draw on a
control has normally been frowned upon and it is always emphasized to
dispose of pens and brushes and other GDI objects lest you run out.
But consider the following code (in a timer elapsed event on a Windows
Form):
private void TimerFunc(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs
e) {
Graphics gdi = this.CreateGraphics();

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
