Hey python[],
I want to create a process that would "expire" if it didn't complete in
a set amount of time. I don't seem to see any timeout values to pass
os.system - does anyone know of a good way to do this?
So far all I can think of is some kind of watchdog thread - but that
seems like overkill to do such a simple thing.
-Carl

Hello,
I'm writing a small program that needs to check Unix timestamps for
falling into an interval (typical usage: ./program 2005-03, you get
the idea). Now, I create two time stamps from the user's input to
create the interval's borders using mktime(). Trying to check the sanity
of my program, I also converted the values back to tuples using
localtime(). Unfortunately, I get back one of them with the DST flag
set, and the other with...

Given the html at the end of this message, I see how
a DOM NodeList exhibits its "live" behavior; that is,
adding elements to a document can change any NodeList
variables, when there's *no* code that refers to them.
I suppose I can imagine cases where this idea would be
useful, but I can imagine many more where I'd like to
get a *static* list of, e.g., the <p> elements in my
document, and do something with them, regardless of any

Hi there,
I'm pretty new to Python and am trying to figure out how to get "will
this code compile?"-like code checking. To me this is a pretty basic
language/environment requirement, especially when working with large
projects. It is *much* better to catch errors at "compile-time" rather
than at run-time.
One thing I've "found" is the PyChecker module (conveniently embedded
in SPE), but it doesn't seem to do that great of a job. ...

I have non-computer skilled users entering data into a form. There
are certain ranges of values which, if they enter them, make no sense
in the application, but I can't test them until they try to close out
the form, in which case I can look at the entire set of values and see
if they're OK. So, I have this code.

hi,
my multithread application, running under solaris box, is crashing
eventually.
I tried to spot and substitute functions not "thread safe", but I
guess my search wasn't good enough. I have put localtime_r and
asctime_r where I was using localtime and asctime. But I didn't find
any correspondent _r function to "time".Also, I found that "readdir"
is not thread safe. But what about "scandir"?
Thanks for any help

simple approach: use subprocess.Popen to fork off the external command,
then sleep for a short while, check if it's done, sleep a little longer
if it hasn't, etc. when you've waited long enough, use os.kill to kill
the process.
(if you want to terminate a function in your own program, you can use
the alarm signal. see e.g. http://code.activestate.com/recipes/307871/ )

Overview:
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,...
