Algorithm for Python's pack function

2 New Member
I'm looking into how the Python's pack function is implemented. Does anyone know where the source is located? I grep the entire lib folder but couldn't find it. I have the unfortunate task of converting some python code which uses pack extensively into C++ :(

I believe that function is located in (starting from your python install folder): Lib/struct.pyc
Which is, unfortunately, compiled python code. So you can't read it, unless you can find a python decompiler.

That's really unfortunately. Is there a better description what the function does other than what is given in the manual for struct module pack?

You could always download the Python source code. It is available on the website along with the binary installer.

I've run into a problem with Python/TkInter crashing, with an attempt to read illegal addresses, on Win on Win2000 and WinXP. With some web-searching, I found that people say not to manipulate TkInter from multiple threads, except that the call event_generate() is safe. I assume the call adds an event to Tk's queue, and later the thread running mainloop will() pick up the event. I tried to write a general-purpose thread-runner. In...

Greetings. In an effort to get python2.4 on my Centos 3.7, I installed the python bootstrap rpm. This installed 2.4 alongside 2.2 and updated yum to 2.4.0. Oddly, it didn't create a symlink 'python' for either 2.2 or 2.4. I also get a series of troubling dependency errors when I run yum update. Below is the output of the bootstrap install, which includes both a failure early on (possibly related to alternatives and/or the symlink?)...

I started using Python a couple of days ago - here are a few questions: * Doesn't the __main__() method automatically execute when I run my python program? * Only when I do an import of my test.py file within python and then run test.__main__() I can see where my bugs are. Is this correct? (right now this is my only way of running my python program and see where I have problems) * Once I've done an import and then I wish to make a...

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