How do you install eyeD3, there's no installation package? I read the readme, which talks about executing 'configure', but that just reports back that it is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I can help if you run some sort of *nix system. If you're on Windows, then I'll have to pass as I know nothing about installing python modules on Windows. :) > I read the readme, which talks about executing 'configure', but that > just reports back that it is not recognized as an internal or > external command, operable program or batch file. Hmm, "... batch file" makes me think this is Windows. On *nix systems, you run ./configure; make; sudo make install. The ./ in front of configure tells the shell that the program you are trying to run is in the current directory. Otherwise, the shell would look for configure in your $PATH, which does not include the current directory. -- ToddOpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~ Mollison's Bureaucracy Hypothesis: If an idea can survive a bureaucratic review and be implemented it wasn't worth doing. pgp8LSNYi8sv7.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] PyLucene on Python 2.6
I don't know if it's off-topic or not. If it is, please forgive me and ignore this question. Does anyone know if there is a win32 binary of PyLucene?

The correct thing to do if you want to add a list of paths to sys.path (btw, that probably is not what you want in real life, but that's a complete different question.), you should do sys.path.extend(x) which is an efficient way to do for i in x: sys.path.append(i) Or to visualize it with something simpler: a = [1, 2, 3] b = [4, 5, 6] c = 7 a # [1,2,3] a.append(c) a # [1,2,3,7] a.append(b) a # [1,2,3,7,[4,5,6]] a.extend(b) a # [1,2,3,7,[4,5,6],4,5,6] Basically append just appends it's parameter to the list, and if the parameter happens to be a list, it appends the list as one item. Extend on the other hand, appends all iterable items in the parameter to the list. Andreas ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] How to exit program without sys.exit()
David wrote:
Hi,
I make these silly programs to learn from examples I find on the list.
I put a couple together just to practice. I have heard it is not a
good idea to use sys.exit() but I can not figure out how to do it.
Also any and all comments are welcome. Thanks
Others have made valuable comments. I add:
It is better to use a while loop rather than recursive function calls.
The logic is a lot easier to follow, and you won't run into the
recursive depth limit. Also restrict try blocks to just the statement
likely to raise the error you are expecting.
def getinfo():
while True:
answer = yesno("Enter y to continue, n to exit: y/n >> ")
if answer == "y":
getnumber()
else:
break
def getnumber():
num = 0
while True:
try:
num = int(raw_input("Enter a number between 25 and 75: "))
except ValueError:
print "Please Enter a number!"
if 25 < num < 75:
print "WOW you are smart ", sayit()
break
There are a lot more recursive calls that I will not try to "fix". I
hope you get the idea.
In fact I'd start out with no functions at all - just one program in a
loop. See what you can accomplish that way, then add functions only as
needed.
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
_count = 0
def getinfo():
answer = yesno("Enter y to continue, n to exit: y/n >> ")
if answer == "y":
getnumber()
else:
sys.exit()
def counter():
global _count
_count += 1
return _count
def yesno(question):
responce = None
while responce not in ("y", "n"):
responce = raw_input(question).lower()
return responce
def getnumber():
try:
num = int(raw_input("Enter a number between 25 and 75: "))
if 25 < num < 75:
print "WOW you are smart ", sayit()
except ValueError:
print "Please Enter a number!", getnumber()
def sayit():
print "Your total correct answers is", counter()
again()
def again():
onemore = raw_input("Again? y/n >> " )
if onemore.lower() == "y":
getnumber()
elif onemore.lower() == "n":
getinfo()
else:
sys.exit
def main():
getinfo()
if __name__=="__main__":
main()
