Does Running Python modules dump stuff on "C" drive?

I am running win2k pro and was wondering if writing python scripts or
running modules dumps anything in the "C" drive? I have 3 partitions
and run python on the 3rd one or "E"drive.
My "C" drive is almost full and keeps loading up with stuff I don't
want or need. Some of it I can find some not.
So until I can get a new HD I need to keep weeding out the weeds!

TIA.

Python puts .pyc modules in same directory as .py module. It is
a LOT more likely that you are filling up the hard drive with
temp files or cached files from the browser. Clear out your
Temporary Internet files (if you haven't already) and change the
location of temporary Internet files to another drive. Also
check c:\windows\temp . That directory gets lots of crud that I
have to clean out.

Ideally, one can use someone's C++ code by just looking at the header files (which should contain comments describing the functions in addition to function definitions), without access to the full source code. Can analogs of C++ header files be created for Python code? Python "header" files could list only the 'def' statements and docstrings of Python functions and classes, but that does not tell you what the functions return. One could...

Whenever I run python I get "Warning! you are running an untested version of Python." prepended to the start of any output on stdout. This is with Debian and python 2.3 (running the debian 2.1 and 2.2 binaries doesn't have this effect) Does anyone have any idea how to stop this or have even seen it before?

I've seen people here write that C++ doesn't support modules. What does that mean? 'Module' is a very nebulous term in my book. It probably means something quite different to me than what it does to people making that comment about C++.

Just thought I'd see if you guys had an answer for this. My website analytics page shows that people come to my site after searching for "Python drive name" but I don't think I'm offering any help with such a thing. However I would like to help since I'm getting a few people a day for this. So does anyone have an idea on what they could be searching for ..... and of course what the answer would be? Sorry it's such a vague question...

This month there was/is a 1000+ long thread called: "merits of Lisp vs Python" In comp.lang.lisp. If you followed even parts of the thread, AND previously used only one of the languages AND (and this is the crucial bit), were persuaded to have a more positive view of the other language; (deep breath, this is a long, as well as grammatically incorrect sentence), THEN WHY NOT POST ON WHAT ARGUMENTS PERSUADED YOU.

Hello, IIRC, I once saw an explanation how Python doesn't have "variables" in the sense that, say, C does, and instead has bindings from names to objects. Does anyone have a link? Thanks, Ami

Hi, Thanks for all the help from the previous problem. Turns out I didnt have to use wxSizers, just change the size of my wxWidgets everytime a EVT_SIZE is called. Anyway, Im trying to find a python module (im not sure if it exists) that takes two words and compares if they sound the same. So 'right' and 'write' sounds the same or 'u' and 'you' . Also I know this takes into account the use of language and accent but is there any out there...

Could you provide a complete description of what you want to do? Is it a single process, or two separate processes? Running on the same machine or remotely? All python or there is another program involved?
