I am trying to get at the python source code, but it seems svn.python.org is down, at least on port 80 (http) and 3690 (svn). This happened earlier this week and then it came back (at least yesterday). Are all the real ( ;-) ) developers using ssh+svn and not noticing this? Anthon

But I'm trying to use Python 2.5.1's urllib2 to interact with a web service offered by Amazon.com, which deviates from the HTTP spec in that it requires use of case-sensitive header names ReportName, ReportID, and NumberOfReports. I try to send...

I am trying to figure out how to build binaries for Python packages and I've done it with MinGW. However, in my research, I've noticed that some of the programmers out there think that you should use the compiler that is used to compile the official Python distributions, which appears to be Visual Studio 2003. None of these programmers has...

I have an application that occassionally is called upon to process strings that are a substantial portion of the size of memory. For various reasons, the resultant strings must fit completely in RAM. Occassionally, I need to join some large strings to build some even larger strings. Unfortunately, there's no good way of doing this without...

Hello, I am writing a commandline tool in Python which is often feed with lots of commandline arguments. In practice, the commandline already reached a critical length which is to long for Windows (some versions of Windows only support commandlines of up to 2047 characters). To work around this problem, wethought up the idea of bypassing the...

I'm trying to get a notification from the NT event for any new event using the DispatchWithEvents() function.

I'm missing something major here. I'm trying to add a directory to my python path using the PYTHONPATH environment variable, and it's being ignored by the Python interactive shell.

I managed to give myself the capability to print to paper with just a couple function calls, but my efforts have stalled there. I would like to, minimally, be able to change a few page elements such as the typeface and margins, but it appears the properties and methods are buried much deeper than the examples I have encountered so far.
