That's not quite right. If the module is in a directory that is in sys.path, it is just a plain module, not a package. If the module is in a subdirectory of a directory in sys.path, then the subdirectory is a package and requires an __init__.py file to be recognized as a package. There is a good discussion of modules and packages in the tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] directory as package
Message: 4 Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 20:10:52 -0700 From: Dave Kuhlman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Tutor] module versus file To: tutor@python.org Hello Dave. >> If you are importing a module from a directory other than your current directory, then the directory is effectively a package. In order to make a directory into a package, the directory must contain a file named __init__.py. The file __init__.py can be empty or can contain code. It will be evaluated the first time (and only the first time) an application imports the package or something in it. Dave *** It must be someother method that I used, because there is no file named _init_.py is directory math\factoring Is it that the convention must be different for a windows machine?

Many system modules are written in Python and handled the same way as user modules - they are found by searching sys.path. The actual files are in C:\Python24\Lib Some system modules are written in C, they are still on sys.path but the modules are called .pyd. Some system modules are built-in to Python and don't correspond to an actual file in the file system. > > * > > > If you are working with a module from the interpreter and you make > changes to the module, you have to reload it with the command > >>> reload(factor30) > > * > > I will try the reload command next time I work with factor30. > > This won't work for local names (from factor30 import xx)!

Why not? Most modules do have corresponding files. The exceptions are the ones built-in to Python. In fact modules have a __file__ attribute that tells you where it came from; try typing factor30.__file__ Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] making a python program part of xhtml
Hola everyone, I'm working on creating a webpage in which a user can submit data into fields to be held in a database (there are other details, but this is the gist of the idea), and I need to use python. I am unfamiliar with manipulating data and web apps as a whole (and new to python), so I have been encountering much unfamiliar terrain. I _think_ I want to somehow embed the python into the page, but I'm really not sure how to do it. After googling I found some programs that generate xhtml from python, but I don't think that is what I want, or is it? Your help is appreciated!

Your help > is appreciated! > Emily > Although you can embed python in a web page to be run on a server, you probably don't want to do that.(It can get pretty messy.) What I'd suggest is creating a web page that calls a python program on the server and processes form fields in the web page. The python program would save the data in the database. [web page] -> [python program on server] -> [database] Look at the FORM tag in HTML/XHTML. Also look at the cgi module for Python. I think there's some web topics on the Python web site that might point to articles about doing simple cgi stuff in Python. http://wiki.python.org/moin/CgiScripts http://www.devshed.com/index2.php?option=content&task=view&id=198&pop=1&page =0&hide_js=1 Is an article on cgi programming with Python.

Re: [Tutor] PyGTK on cygwin
There is a PyGTK package for win32, don't know if it uses cygwin or mingw but works pretty well on windows, it only needs the gtk runtime. http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/ Altough I might been misunderstanding your question ;) On 6/8/06, Christopher Spears <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does PyGTK work well on cygwin? > ___ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
