Re: [Tutor] Need help with registry access
Always use ReplyAll to include the mailing list. The _winreg module is part of the standard library and provides functions for accessing the Windows registry. But you need to learn enough about Python to be able to use modules and functions. You will also need to know enough about Windows internals to manage the keyboard. I suggest you start with a beginners python tutorial. If you have never programmed before then look at the non programmers list (or just try mine), if you have programmed in another language try the official tutorial http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ Alan Gauld Author of the Learn To Program website http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ - Original Message > From: Christopher Barkley > To: Alan Gauld > Sent: Friday, 8 May, 2009 5:09:25 AM > Subject: Re: [Tutor] Need help with registry access > > no idea what any of that means.

[Tutor] Pythonic way to normalize vertical whitespace
Note: Following cross-posted to python-list where it got queued due to suspicious subject line. I'm looking for suggestions on technique (not necessarily code) about the most pythonic way to normalize vertical whitespace in blocks of text so that there is never more than 1 blank line between paragraphs. Our source text has newlines normalized to single newlines (\n vs. combinations of \r and \n), but there may be leading and trailing whitespace around each newline. Approaches: 1. split text to list of lines that get stripped then: a. walk this list building a new list of lines that track and ignore extra blank lines -OR- b. re-join lines and replace '\n\n\n' wth' \n\n' until no more '\n\n\n' matches exist 2. use regular expressions to match and replace whitespace pattern of 3 or more adjacent \n's with surrounding whitespace 3. a 3rd party text processing library designed for efficiently cleaning up text Thanks! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] glob paramiko
Hey All.
All I need to do in this script is scp or sftp a bunch of files to a remote
server. This script will run from a cron job eventually.
For whatever reason, paramiko can't cope with a list.

It would be helpful to see the full stack trace.

It looks like sftp is None. That is why it has no attribute "put".

Here it is, unless I can give you something more verbose. Not sure how to
produce "full stack trace."
Do you mean this: http://docs.python.org/library/traceback.html ?

Yeah, it shows up as a type list. I haven't been doing any python thinking in a
couple months.
The script works without the glob syntax on a single file defined as:
localpath = '/home/foo/bar.txt'

That's what I was asking for. Note that this is completely different
from the first error you posted!
It is telling you the problem, it just doesn't support a list as the
first argument. And in fact there is nothing in the docs to indicate
that it should work with a list. Just put the put() call in a loop and
do each file separately.

No, localpath is a list.

[Tutor] Optparse question: if only certain values are acceptable
I'm tryng to use optparse for the first time. The toy summary is that I want to have the following command format: prognam -f FORMAT Where FORMAT, if specified, must be one of "X", "Y", or "Z". In otherwords, if the user enters: progname -f X It runs, producing its output in format X. Similar if "Y" or "Z" is specified instead of "X". But if the user specifies progname -f A I want it to spit up because A is not a recognized format. I don't see anything in the docs that directly addresses this. Is this something that I should use the callback parameter for? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Is the below what you are looking for?
>>> import optparse
>>> parser = optparse.OptionParser()
>>> parser.add_option('-f', '--format', type='choice', action='store',
>>> choices=('x','y','z'), dest='format')
>>> args = ['-f', 'd'] #Wrong format d
>>> options, restargs = parser.parse_args(args)
Usage: [options]
: error: option -f: invalid choice: 'd' (choose from 'x', 'y', 'z')
Traceback (most recent call last):

How does it fail? Again, the full traceback and error message are very helpful.

That is the first thing I thought of. 2 should also be easy if you have any regex-fu and might turn out to be faster if you have a lot of text.
