I am creating functions, the return result of which I am using to make
decisions in combined expressions.
In some expressions, I would like to inverse the return result of
function.
E.g. function contains(source ,search) will return true if "search"
string is found in source string.
I want to make reverse of this by putting it as:
if ( ! contains(s1,s2) ):
return 1
I found that "!" is not accepted by Python & compile fails with
"invalid syntax".
Corresponding to this Boolean Operator we've "not" in Python.
How can I make "not" as "!"? 6 1761

"not" is a perfectly valid boolean operator in Python and means just
what "!" means in C. The equivalent binary operator is "~", just like in C.

I have found that not 8, not not 8, and ~8 are all valid. Valid8 is
not.
NameError: name 'Valid8' is not defined, where defined is not defined,
and @Valid8 @Valid8 ...
Late-binding logicals are fine. #Valid8

Do you really need a function for this ?
if "foo" in "foobar":
print "do you really really need a function for this ?"
I want to make reverse of this by putting it as:
if ( ! contains(s1,s2) ):
return 1
which is a convoluted way to write:
return s2 not in s1

Err... How to say... The boolean negation operator in Python is "not".
So the only answer I can provide is : "use 'not' instead of '!'". And
while we're at it : drop those useless parens.

Serious question: Why would you want to? 'not' is easier to read (and type) than '!'. Mentally, when you see '!' you think 'not'. It's also harder to overlook 'not', especially when compared to '!contains()'. Finally, I imagine that Spanish speaking coders suffer enormous mental anguish when they see a right-side up '!' at the beginning of a sentence.
if ( ! contains(s1,s2) ):
return 1
if ( !contains(s1,s2 ) ):
return 1
if ( not contains(s1,s2) ):
return 1
if ( ¡contains(s1,s2 )):
return 1

1. Download, edit, and compile Python source code.
Perhaps substituting '!' for 'not' in the grammar file will suffice.
I do not *think* that this would conflict with '!=' digraph.
2. Realize that code for your custom Python will not work anywhere else if
it does contain '!' with that meaning.

Are you trying to make Python a C? Realize that when you work with a
language, you play by that language's rule, not by your rule. This
seems like a troll or something. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi all,
In several occasions, I found myself looking for a function that would
take a value and restrict is within a specified set of boundaries. For
a 1-dimension value, I could simply write
min(max(value,theMin),theMax)
to restrict value within the range made of theMin to theMax.
It assumes that theMax >= theMin.

I am looking for a function that can dial up an ISP, connect and/or
log off through a Python script running under windows. I looked in
socket, but didn't find anything that looks promising. Any
suggestions? If it is just an executable file belonging to windows
that I need to run, just tell me what the file is and I'll write a
script to run it. Thanks.

Hello all. Newbie question here...
I have a program that needs to do 1 of 2 things
1. declare a global System::String (which I think can't be done, because
VS 2005 complains)
2. modify the System::String in one function
An example may be easier to understand... The question is how would I get
the second option to work???

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
