You are correct. Or at least you need the subset of C needed for a
minimal compiler.
So you figure out your minimal comiler in C.
Then you write a basic assembler program
Hi,
Yes, sorry I haven't posted to the list in a while. I should have been
more specific. I'm writing a simple contact database, using metakit as
the backend. Thank you for pointing out that what I was trying to do
was easier than I believed.
Here's some code.
db = metakit.storage('c:/addy.mk'

Okay,
This works great now:
def listItems():
l= []
d = {}
for r in range(len(vw)):
for x in range(lt):
ed = desc[x]
exec("d['%s']=vw[%d].%s" % (ed,r,ed))
l.append(d)
print l
But, it multiplies all of the records from vw by 5. How can I ha

Hi all,
In a private exchange about floating point representation error spun
off of c.l.p., I'd sent someone some code to express rationals
(subject to some constraints) in arbitrary bases, 1 < base < 37. The
aim was to illustrate my claim that whether a rational had a repeating
expansion[*] o

hey there
i have a file that i want to read.
each line in the file is the name of a file.
the next line is how many lines are in that file.
example of loglist.txt
log1.txt
232
log2.txt
332
log3.txt
223
so log1 is a text file that has 232 lines in it.
ok, so what i want to do is read this file,

I'm missing something simple again. The simplified issue is:
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
>>> mystr = 'abc'
# I can create a list of the string characters
# with list comprehension
>>> [c for c in mystr]

# Or just a simple builtin conversion function

Hi, Lee.
You could using:
>>> bts = ''.join(strlist)
Then you would get:
>>> bts'abc'

Hello Chinook,
How about join(), as in
''.join(strlist)
?

Just the thing Light and Chuck - I thought there might be something
simple (and I've used the join method before duh).

I saw that great idea from Steven, and I appreciate it. I think it will
work. Just need to figure out how to get 4 numbers from the player on one line
for easy comparison, e.g. telling whether the number is correct position and
number, incorrect position and correct number, or both are incorr
