Hi,
I need to convert the string: '(a, b, "c", d, "e")' into the following
list ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']. Much like a csv reader does. I usually
use the split function, but this mini-monster wouldn't properly get
split up due to those random quotations postgresql returns to me.
Please help me with this,
Thanks,
Sia

I hope you don't use Python to access the database, get a tuple back,
convert it to a string and then try to break up that string into a list!?

The basic split/strip method wouldn't split '(a, b, "c,...", d)',
which is why I chose not to use it.
Could you please explain which part of my example doesn't work?
split takes arguments which enables it to split your string as
desired.
The csv solution seems to work well, that helped me much here
(thank you), but I am looking to see if I can get it solved with
some regular expression. This is how far I've come so far, but it
needs much work: re.compile('"*, "*').split( x[1:-1])
Have fun. Would be too easy without regexps, wouldn't it?
Regards,
Björn

Sadly, that is the case. Well, kinda. I'm using psycopg2 to access
postgresql, which is great. Though postgres has more features than
psycopg2 supports, such as nested arrays within a row, that psycopg2
provides to me as a string, which leaves it to me to try to make sense
out of it. I hate it, its dirty and uncool, but oh well.

Hi all,
While writing a small program to help other poster at c.l.py, I found
a small inconsistency between the handling of keyword parameters of
string.split() and the split() method of strings. I wonder if someone
else had ever stumbled on it before, and if it has a good reason to
work like it is.
Both implementations take two parameters: the separator character and
the max number of splits (maxsplit). However, string.split() accept

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
