Hello. I'm writing a Python program that connects to servers through telnetlib to execute a few commands. I've discovered that some of the servers that I have to connect to with this program run only SSH, so I need to add support for SSH to the program.

Hi'ya ppl, I'd be happy to hear your techniques to debug python programs. Is there any interactive debugging environment by any chance ? thanks in advance, B

I just read through a few posts and something striked me. Many people, just like myself, are too lazy to test the python code they post here. Most of the time, of course, the code either runs well or the person asking at least understands what is meant and can fix eventual bugs. Would it not be wonderful to have some kind of integrated...

I need to implement an object that behaves just like imutable objects, like int, str and tuple: if you create two objects with the same value at the same time, you get the same object, like a singleton, but instead of storing a unique object, store a set of objects, with no duplicates. I don't know if this is a common pattern (and if there's a...

Most folks know you can start up an instance of Internet Explorer by saying "x=win32com.client.Dispatch('InternetExplorer.Application.1')" and you get a WIN32 object with a "Document" object that has arrays of "Link"/"Form"/"Frame" subobjects, and methods like "Navigate" where you can force the IE instance to browse to a new URL. What folks...

Hello, I am an avid user of PHP and I am just fooling around with Python for now. I originally wanted to know which one is faster. As in, works faster. So far, I think PHP is the fastest for dynamic web-content. Am I wrong?

Does anyone have any good example code that shows how to use the "anydbm"wrapper tp interface with a very simple database. like some examples ofhow to use "dumbdbm"?
