Python Forum

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how I would send data (most likely a string) from a script (written in python) to a program on windows xp. I posted this here instead of the python forum because its not really to do with python, more to do with windows. How do two completely unrelated applications talk to eachother? What would I need to know...

Does anyone know any method to have one program, acting as a server transfer a socket connection to another program? I looked into transferring the connection via xml rpc to no avail. It seems to be a problem of getting access to a programs private memory space and giving another program access to that space. Thanks in advance, James...

Hi all, I have two questions about a class, which we'll call MyWrapperClass, in a package to which I'm contributing. 1) MyWrapperClass wraps functions. Each instance has an attribute called 'value' and a method called 'eval', which calls the wrapped function. An instance D that depends on instances A, B and C can be created as follows:

Posted to the Optik list, but it seems defunct. Optik is now Python's optparse. I wonder how do you implement optional arguments to Optik. I.e., you can have an option -P -- the filename is optional, with a default "data,pikl". It works as follows:

In an unusual twist of code I have a subclass which overrides a method but it also needs to call the original method: class One: def add (self, stuff): self.stuff.append(stuff) class Two(One): def __init__(self, otherstuff): <MYSTERY>(otherstuff) #otherstuff must go into list within the parent.

Hello, I am quite new to python and twisted and I am sure that there is a quick simple answer to my question. Is it possible to force a loseConnection() ? For example, I have created a protocol called myProtocol and a factory called myFactory. I am using self.factory.deferred.callback(mydefer) in myProtocol. Upon success, I have a...

Hi, I'm looking for something that will give me an iterator to a file-(like)-object. I have large files with only a single line in it that have fixed length fields like, record length is 26bytes, dataA is 10 bytes, dataB is 16 bytes. Now when I made my parsing stuff but can't find anything that will let me read those file efficiently...

Hi, I have recently been learning python, and coming from a java background there are many new ways of doing things that I am only just getting to grips with. I wondered if anyone could take a look at a few pieces of code I have written to see if there are any places where I am still using java- esque techniques, and letting me know the...

hi, does python's re library have a similar capability of the perls regular expression to search for pattern that appears a variable number of times within the lower and upper bounds given? For example, what is the python's equivalent to the following perl's search string? m/^\S{1,8}\.\S{0,3}/ which seeks to find all strings with 8...

I love Python, and it is one of my 2 favorite languages. I would suggest that Python steal some aspects of the S language. ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Currently in Python def foo(x,y): ... assigns the name foo to a function object. Is this pythonic? Why not use the = operator like most other assignments?

Hi - I need to add support to a program for dates and times. The built-in Python library seems to be okay for many purposes, but what I would like would be Unix epoch style times (seconds relative to some date), covering a large period from the past to the future. What would be nice would be a library which can take floating point seconds from...

Hi, I have to get list of URLs one by one and to find the URLs that I have more than one time(can't be more than twice).

Is there some library of this kind...

Suppose engineers (my co-workes) have to design some enclosure, nozzle, bracket, or whatever physical part/component, I would like to write a program where they can at least see the resulting geometry and navigate it, i.e., zoon-in/out,...
