Hi everyone, I'm writing a program that can retrieve some specified
info from a web page, such as python topics I interested on a bbs.
Now I had written the python script (run in the background), but I
don't know how to make the program notify me explicitly, so I can be
easily informed. I don't know whether python can warn me through
beeping like C program(e.g.:pr intf("%c", '\07');)
Thanks in advance!

What methods are available?
Designing your daemon involves figuring out how it will communicate
with the world. Usually this is through communication mechanisms
provided by the operating system, such as the logging service or email
service.
I don't know whether python can warn me through beeping like C
program(e.g.:pr intf("%c", '\07');)
This is information that is easily lost; what if no-one is in hearing
range when the beep occurs?

Hello hankssong,
You can alert yourself in many methods:
* Open a message dialog - Use Tkinter or other GUI toolkit (such as
wxPython)
* Write yourself an email - Use email + smtplib library modules
* Provide an RSS feed and read it - Use HTTPServer library
* Write yourself an instant message - see msnpy and other libraries

Ben Finney , Miki ,thanks a lot!
may be message dialog is the best way to let me be informed!

EasyGui is possibly the simplest and fastest way to get message
dialogue boxes in Python: http://www.ferg.org/easygui/

No.
That's sure not how I see it, at any rate. While there are many,
MANY things to say in comparing GUIs, popping up a message
dialogue is generally a one-liner with any toolkit, so, if
that's the only requirement, what's really pertinent is "ease
of set-up" or a similar dimension.
And standard Python includes Tkinter, so Tkinter can't be
beat for simplicity and availability, at least as I under-
stand them.

Indeed, *does* it still beep if there is no-one around to hear it? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I have several programs that have two or more threads. The threads that are not the main thread are daemon threads, i.e. the fact that they are running should not stop the program from terminating if the main thread (the only non-daemon thread) terminates. I do not join to these threads, but just run off the end of the main module to terminate the program. I'm using Python 2.3.4. I occasionally get the following error:

It's important that I can read the contents of the dict without
flagging it as modified, but I want it to set the flag the moment I add
a new element or alter an existing one (the values in the dict are
mutable), this is what makes it difficult. Because the values are
mutable I don't think you can tell the difference between a read and a
write without making some sort of wrapper around them.
Still, I'd love to hear how you guys would do...
