Hello,
I read some files name from a directory and then I put these name in a
list. I will check whether it is empty or not, and I would do it with
an exception. With if statement it is very simple:
If list_of_files != "" : # this can be if list_of_files !=
[]:
get the files
elas:
there is no file
But with exception, I can write something as:
try:
list_of_files != []
get the files
except ValueError:
Print " there is no file"
What can the first statement be inside 'try' if I don't want to use if
statement?
Maybe my understandig of exception is enough to got it.
Would somebody explain me about this?
Regards,
Nader
try and except in a dircMaybe this quetion will be simple enough for
you. 3 1313

If it is simple, just do it! Why do you want to make things more
complicated? This would be enough:
if list_of_files:
get_the_files(l ist_of_files)
else:
print "there is no file"
(a list has a false boolean value when it is empty)
But with exception, I can write something as:
try:
list_of_files != []
get the files
except ValueError:
Print " there is no file"

If you insist on using an exception (and assuming list_of_files is
actually a list, not a string or other kind of sequence):
try:
list_of_files[0]
except IndexError:
...no files...
This way you're checking that list_of_files contains at least one element.
But I would not reccomend it.

I would accept your suggestion in raltion of checking a list whether
it is empty or not with "if" statement. It is more expressive and
clear. But In this case I would learn more about the "try .... except"
exception.

For file in list_of_files:
try:
myfile = open(file, 'r')
except (IOError, OSError):
print"Your %s file wasn't open" %file
# here you can do something with your open file as read option
myfile.readline s() # for example

Hello!
I would like to request a new method on the XsltArgumentList class, allowing
developers to check the presense of a key/value pair. If you try to add a
key/value pair that has already been defined in the list, an exception is
thrown.
Rather than using the "GetParam" method, it would be usefull to have a
method called ".Exists" available on the XsltArgumentList. I think this
allows for cleaner and more readable code. Or, perhaps...

If I have a variable which points to a function, can I check if certain
argument list matches what the function wants before or when calling it?
Currently, I'm trying to catch a TypeError when calling the function
(since that is what is raised when trying to call it with an illegal
list), but that has the rather undesirable side effect of also catching
any TypeErrors raised inside the function. Is there a way to avoid that?

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.
