Idle is not accepting backslashes on some Mac OSX keyboards

Similar topics

by: Margaret MacDonald | last post by:

I've been going mad trying to figure out how to do this--it should be easy! Allow the user to enter '\_sometext\_', i.e., literal backslash, underscore, some text, literal backslash, underscore and, after submitting via POST to a preg_replace filter, get back '_sometext_' (i.e., the same thing with the literal backslashes stripped)

When did Windows start accepting forward slash as a path separator?

by: Stephen Ferg | last post by:

I have a question that is not directly Python-related. But I thought I'd ask the most erudite group that I know... :-) When did Windows start accepting the forward slash as a path separator character? At one time, it was accepted as a truism that Windows (like MS-DOS) was different from Unix because Windows used the backslash as the path separator character, whereas Unix used the forward slash.

Idle won't start

by: Kerry Neilson | last post by:

For the past couple of months, Idle won't start when I invoke it. I am at a complete loss for why this is. When this happens, they python command line still starts, and python works fine otherwise. Most interesting to me is that a reboot won't fix the problem. But if I just try it again sometime later it will work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running python 2.3 on windows 2000 professional.

IDLE dedent/unindent key bindings for non-us keybord?

by: gjohannes | last post by:

Hi. I use Idle 1.1.1 on Python 2.4.1. The "Ctrl-" key bindings for indenting do not work on non-us keyboards where brackets are accessed by the "Alt Gr" key. The Tab key seem to work for indenting a selected textblock on my swedish keyboard, but Shift-tab does not dedent as you would have expected.

RegEx.Replace() to remove double-backslashes in a path

by: =?Utf-8?B?cmFuZHkxMjAw?= | last post by:

OpenFileDialog gives me the following, which I place in tbDevPath.Text: x:\\myVob\\mySolution\\mySolution.sln I really need this path to be single-backslashes, not double-backslashes, so I tried the following: string updatedDevPath = Regex.Replace(tbDevPath.Text, @"^\\\\$", "\\") This still leaves me with double-backslashes. Any suggestions?

IDLE

by: Russ P. | last post by:

I've been programming in python for a few years using XEmacs on Solaris and Linux. I've been thinking about trying IDLE for a long time, but either it wasn't available on my system or I procrastinated. I finally have it available, and I gave it a try. I immediately encountered a basic problem for which I could not find a solution in the intro docs. I want to run a script in one directory that reads input from a file in another directory....

Double backslashes \\ in strings

by: JohnF | last post by:

I have a function textag($expression){...} whose $expression argument is a string that can contain substrings like \alpha with one backslash or like a&b\\c&d with two backslashes. If I write <?php textag('\alpha'); ?with the expression argument in single quotes, then that works fine, and the single backslash isn't interpreted or changed, which is what I want. But if I write <?php textag('a&b\\c&d'); ?>

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

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

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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.
