develop a function called standardise_phr ase to convert
the user's input to a standard form for subsequent processing. This
involves:
1. removing all inter-word punctuation, which for our purposes is
assumed to
consist only of commas (`,'), full stops (`.'), exclamation marks
(`!') or
question marks (`?');
I think a question similar to this was answered on the list today or
yesterday, for removing spaces and hyphens.
2. stripping away any leading and trailing blank spaces; and
If your solution for part 1 can't be extended to cover this... you
might have to find another way to "strip" the the spaces ;)
3. replacing words in the user's input with ELIZA's preferred
vocabulary.
Assuming you have some sort of dictionary mapping words to ELIZA
words, you should be able to iterate through all of the words in the
input and, using that dictionary, swap the key for the value in your
input string.
There, I think those are sufficiently vague as to not do your homework
for you, but maybe get you started... 0  651  This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

My web search for future Python-related conferences has turned up
nothing. I see plenty about previous conferences, but nothing for the
future.
Can anyone point me toward some list of conferences? I'm looking for
Python, possibly Zope, possibly Plone, and even other modern web and
system development topics.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi all,
This is related to an earlier post 'Help with thread related
tracebacks'...for which I have had no feedback yet :-(
How should a thread complete i.e. how should it exit?
Reading the python online docs one gets the idea that simply returning is
OK - but I'm not sure.
Is it ok to do a sys.ext()? Use 'return' or just let them run out with no
'return' ???

Summary:
How should multiple (related) projects be arranged (structured) and
configured so that the following is possible:
o Sharing common code (one of the projects would be a "common"
project referenced by all others and likely the others would share at
least the common project and possibly more as times goes on)
o Clear separation of "production" code and "test" code (ie to
readily ship source and test as separate components. Usually...

Please check for sanity and approve for posting at python-dev.
Currently file-directory-related functionality in the Python standard
library is scattered among various modules such as shutil, os,
dircache etc. So I request that the functions be gathered and
consolidated at one place. Some may need renaming to avoid conflicts
or for clarification.

I've been getting ready for OSCon 2007 next week, and theres quite a bit
of Python related activity there.
Based on a suggestion from Jeff Rush, (who can't be there), I've
proposed a Python Advocacy BoF on Monday, from 6:30pm - 7:30pm. For
anyone arriving early, this will be a great opportunity to coordinate
Python advocacy activites at OSCon.
Theres also a regular Python BoF on Wednesday from 8:30pm - 9:30pm.

I have a problem that I don't understand at all. I run a python script,
which uses pickle, and it fails. That alone is, perhaps, no big deal.
The problem that's got me annoyed is that after getting said error I
close the shell window, open a new one, run the python interpreter and
type "import pickle" and get the error that the script I'd run earlier
caused. Why is this ?
To my knowledge, once python stopped running it didn't store...

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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
