Re: [Tutor] Remove specific chars from a string
Ricardo, Thanks for the tip on how to use maketrans. I was trying to over-complicate things on my side. The string module lives in 3.0 ... only the duplicate methods have been removed. Regards, Malcolm ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Help with tutor@python.org
I just changed my email address. Now when I post to tutor@python.org the posts do not show up. I have checked the mailman settings; they look OK. Have you any guidance? Did this post show up on the list? -- Bob Gailer 919-636-4239 Chapel Hill, NC ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Again with the forgetting to cc the list...

After mentioning in a previous email that formatting is important, I took a closer look at the documents that OO had converted... and they weren't as good as I thought at first. No disgrace to OO; the fact that anybody outside of Microsoft has ever managed to make even a little bit of sense out of the .doc format is a testimony to human ingenuity and stubbornness - but it's just not good enough. So, despite my enthusiasm for Python and the fact that VBScript repulses me, I think I need to start fresh and do it the Redmond way. If I were building something for long-term use rather than a one-time conversion, I would figure out how to drive Word from Python, but under the circumstances I'll hack something quick and dirty in VBS. (Does anyone remember VBA?) It's funny - years ago I used to use Visual Studio and _enjoy_ it. I'm spoiled now, I guess.

I have done most major languages over the last thirty years of which FoxPro has been the last 16 years. I thought FoxPro was the greatest until Python. Now I code in FoxPro and Python and I wish I could just use Python. It's fun to code, everything works and it is a complete package without needing to incorporate a bunch of api's or third party applications.
