It's not deprecated, nor is it poor form. However, it can be abused, or

Dear all,
I tried concatenating string variables with multiple strings and have the
file handle write the statement into a file. I don't know why I always get
the type error: must be string or read-only character buffer, not seq error.
I tried casting the whole new concatenated string using str(),
It's saying one of your variables is not a string. Is one of them a sequence?
Perhaps Mir-seq? If so, you need to come up with a way to build a string from
this object. You can call the str method and pass in your object or you can
explicitly create a string from the data in the object.

List,
I've been messing with metaclasses. I thought I understood them until I ran
into this. (See code below.) I was expecting the generated class, 'Foo' to have
an 'x' class-level attribute, as forced upon it by the metaclass 'DracoMeta'
at creation. Unfortunately, it doesn't and I don't know why

That's an environment variable, so it depends on your shell. If
PYTHONPATH already exists, you can add your directory to it (with colons
between the names of directories). But you probab
Hello,
I would need to control a powerpoint file from python. I have
installed the win32com library for python, then i used makepy to
create a powerpoint-specific library.
The things i need to do are pretty basic: open a file, create a new
slide, place a picture and a comment to the picture.

I've been noticing that in all the example codes I have seen, when someone

always seem to create an instance of wx.Panel first and then use that
instance as the parent class of container x. I have been just placing 'self'

wx.Panel provides better cross-platform reliability, so it's fairly standard
practice to go with a Panel in a Frame, and place the buttons, etc. on the
panel.

I'm not aware of string concatenation being deprecated.
Ols string formatting is deprecated in the sense that the new
string format() method will replace it, but I don't even
expect to see that any time soon - too much old code

Yes, but Programming variables(*) are variable in the sense

In principle, yes, the garbage collector will destroy the no-longer used
