Re: [Tutor] Begining Python

[Meftah Tayeb]

hi my friend,
i have active python installed and the python-Win is Ready
but i have a Very Small problem:
i am blind, and i am using a Screen reader
this screen reader use the Microsoft Active Accessibiliti (MSAA) to find 
informations about actual object in the screen cursor
for Java Based applications, this screen Reader use the Java Access Bridj 
(JAB)
if it is no installed, java application is no accessible

but in python:
no accessibiliti layer is found for python !
I'd suggest you:
do not develope a new Accessibiliti layer
please, develope only a MSAA Server for represanting all python UI object to 
MSAA based application
and for JAVA / Python integration, please develope a JAVA Access Bridj (JAB) 
server to represanting python UI object to existing JAB Based application

Thank you,
Meftah Tayeb

Meftah, I'd suggest you install Activestate's distribution of Python,
which includes the PythonWin environment (not quite an IDE, in that

[Tutor] Hard time understanding classes

[Norm All]

Hello,

I am learning python and so far have done pretty well, until I got to the
subject of classes which I have been struggling to understand for a while. I
have not found any easy to understand tutorial on the web or looking in some
books for a clear step by step example. Would  appreciate any help or links
to read.

Regards.

While this is a very long discussion thread, I found it extremly helpful 
in my understanding of classes and how they should be built/designed.

First, you are not alone.
Some people find the idea of objects easy to grasp but the majority
of programmers struggle because it is a different way of thinking
about programs and problems. Once you "get it" you will wonder
what all the fuss was about :-)

Second, while classes are very useful for some things you don't
*need* to use classes to program even quite complex programs.

So don't panic.

It might help if we know what you have read so far and if you can give
some specific things that you find hard to grasp. That gives us a
direction to head down.

Obligatory plug, you can try the OOP topic in my tutor if you
haven't already...

I suggest the new book, _Object-Oriented Programming in Python_, by

[Tutor] Simple reg-ex syntax?

[Allen Fowler]

Hello,

I have code that looks something like:

self.aString = "abc123xyz"
self.theNumber = int(re.search('(\d+)',self.aString).group())

Is there a more Pythonic way of doing this? (Both the reg-ex and the Int 
coercion.)  How about when I will need to extract more than one substring?

Thank you,
:)

[Tutor] Correct way to call an outside program?

[Allen Fowler]

Hello,

I need to call an external command line .exe utility from my Python script.

What is the best way to capture the output (if any) and (optionally) direct it 
to my normal standard output?

There seem to be many options...

Thank you,
:)

Historically there have been lots of methods introduced howeever
the most recent and officially correct way is now tyo use the
subprocess module. There are examples on the web pages
to show what you want.

Or read the Using the OS topic in my tutorial for the basics.
