Hello Robert!
Sorry. It was my mistake!
I read over this: "They don't support slicing"
Thank you very much indeed!

Christian Neumann wrote: I use Python 2.3.4 (final) and i think there is a bug
in the built-in function xrange().
An example is:
x = xrange(2, 11, 2) ## [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
I get an TypeError if i use it with SliceType:
x[1:4] ## It should be return an xrange object with length 3
Here is the error message:
"TypeError: sequence index must be integer".
Hm. I never noticed this either: x = xrange(2, 11, 2)
x
xrange(2, 12, 2)
But back to your question. Anytime you use the word "should" in a bug
report, you might guess it's really a feature request, not a bug. ;)
Simply put, the "xrange type" doesn't support slicing like that. From
the docs: http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq.html
"Xrange objects are similar to buffers in that there is no specific
syntax to create them, but they are created using the xrange() function.
They don't support slicing, concatenation or repetition, and using in,
not in, min() or max() on them is inefficient."

I want to save some sensitive data (passwords, PIN numbers, etc.) to
disk in a secure manner in one of my programs. What is the
easiest/best way to accomplish strong file encryption in Python? Any
modern block cipher will do: AES, Blowfish, etc. I'm not looking for
public key stuff; I just want to provide a pass-phrase.
I found a few modules out there, but they seem to be all but abandoned.
Most seem to have died several years ago. ...

I'm discussing memory allocation techniques with
somebody, and I'm trying to find a quote from -- I
think -- Tim Peters where he discusses the way Python
allocates memory when you append to lists. In basic
terms, he says that every time you try to append to a
list that is already full, Python doubles the size of
the list. This wastes no more than 50% of the...

In C and C++ and Java, the 'for' statement is a shortcut to make very
concise loops. In python, 'for' iterates over elements in a sequence.
Is there a way to do this in python that's more concise than 'while'?

for(i=0; i<length; i++)

I'm pretty new to python, but am very happy with it. As well as using
it at work I've been using it to solve various puzzles on the Project
Euler site - http://projecteuler.net. So far it has not let me down,
but it has proved surprisingly slow on one puzzle.
The puzzle is: p is the perimeter of a right angle triangle with
integral length sides, {a,b,c}. which value of p < 1000, is the
number of solutions {a,b,c} maximised?

I've been playing with Python a bit. Doing little performance benchmarks and
working with Psyco. It's been fun and I've been learning a lot. For
example, in a previous post, I was looking for a way to dynamically add new
runtime function to a class. Martin told me to use a class instance
variable instead. It turns out that's faster than hard coding a list of
functions. Thanks Martin.
I read that the range function builds a list and...

Hi, All.
I'm just getting my feet wet on Python and, just for starters, I'm coding some
elementary number theory algorithms (yes, I know that most of them are already
implemented as modules, but this is an exercise in learning the language idioms).
As you can see from the code below, my background is in C, without too much
sophistication.
What I would like is to receive some criticism to my code to make it more

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
