Convert from numbers to letters

[rh0dium]

Hi All,

While I know there is a zillion ways to do this.. What is the most
efficient ( in terms of lines of code ) do simply do this.

a=1, b=2, c=3 ... z=26

Now if we really want some bonus points..

a=1, b=2, c=3 ... z=26 aa=27 ab=28 etc..

Thanks

Hey, that's good. Thanks Steve. Hadn't seen it before. One to use.

Funny that Pythonwin's argument-prompter (or whatever that feature is
called) doesn't seem to like it.

E.g. if I have
def f(tupl):
print tupl

Then at the Pythonwin prompt when I type
f(
I correctly get "(tupl)" in the argument list pop-up box.

But if I have
def f((a, b)):
print a, b

then when I type
f(
I just get "(.0)" in the argument list pop-up box.

Or with
def f(p, q, (a, b)):
pass
Pythonwin prompts with
"(p, q, .4)"


However in each case the help() function correctly lists all the
arguments. Strange. I'll check if it's a known "feature".
That sounds like a bug in pythonwin autocomplete. Tuple unpacking in
function arguments is definitely a known feature, there were some
recent (fairly extensive) clp threads about it.[1]

I wish people would use it more, I think it's an awesome feature when
properly used. I like it especially for signatures like "def
change_coord((x , y))". It was one of those features, for me, where I
just tried it without knowing of its existence, assuming it would
work, and I was pleasantly surprised that it did.

I think there was another about ways to improve tuple unpacking, but I
didn't find it in a brief search.

This is with
"PythonWin 2.4 (#60, Feb 9 2005, 19:03:27) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32."
