Greetings,
I've dabbled in programming/scripting a little, but never really seem to get
the hang of it. I thought I'd try out Python for a front-end to my
SQL database project. I've worked through the tutorial, and a few others to
some extent. At the moment, I'm really just tinkering, but have

With the console-based menu system I'm building, I'd like to clear the

def main_menu():
clear #start with a fresh console screen, menu at top
print menuitems
This way, the users won't have to get too confused by all the previous
screens.

As a newbie developer, the easiest way for me to connect to MySQL is to
just copy & paste the connection commands into each funtion I write.
However, I know that's far from ideal, and consumes more time than its
worth. I would like to create a MySQL connection function that I can just
call up whe

When I pickle a SQL result into a file (ASCII mode), it lays out the data in

Greetings,
I have a script that gets a little info from the user, using a
dictionary, which I then store in a file via cPickle. This pickle
concept must be good for something, but I haven't figured out exactly
what just yet. At any rate, I would like to now get the code and be
able to display on

For some reason, everytime I think I finally understand the passing
arguments thing, I prove that I don't. However, I *am* getting a
little closer to getting it.

O.k., I'm running SUSE Linux 9.2, Python 2.3.4,
I have changed my DB back-end from MySQL to Postgres for the larger
feature set. However, in attempting to load the pgdb module for use
in my script, I got this message (same when I try it at the
command-line):

The book, "Programming Python", shows an example of os.chdir() on the
Windows platform, as follows:
os.chdir(r'c:\temp')
What's the 'r' for? It didn't seem to make any difference in how
Python works - at least not on the surface.
Thanks,

On my Windows XP box running Python 2.4, I attempted to use the 'find'
module per the example in Programming Python (Ch. 2) - i.e.:
>>>import find
>>>find.find('*')
However, Python didn't find the find module. The docs say it's now
deprecated, but don't point to what tool should be used to replac
Hi all,
After a rather long (and unfortunate) break from tinkering with Python, I am
back at it. I am working through the book Learning Python (based on 2.2/2.3
- I use 2.5), and in the chapter on while/for loops, ran across the
following example:
>>> L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> for i in range(len(L
37 matches
