Re: [Tutor] Best way to store and access a fixed coordinate list
Dont worry! I solved this. I had a brain fade earlier today when I was
working on the problem and it wasnt untill this evening when I got
home and relaxed that what I was after came to mind.
The following code example does the basics of what I was trying to do.
Its pretty damn simple. so i was deep in the forest and couldnt see
the tree!
x = {(1,2),(4,4),(4,6),(3,5)}
for eachitem in x:
print eachitem,eachitem[0], eachitem[1]

[Tutor] file fetcher class object through http
Hello.. I like reading different people's implementations of python as it helps me decide what is necessary vs what is not. Essentially, I want to write a class that finds, and downloads a file from a web server. Of course I may add some file matching features through regex... and other things that I need. mostly, I am looking for a smart class implementation that has well-considered API and method choices. I tried to read through packages such as distutils and setuptools however I believe I may need to read some code that is less "industrial strength". lol! maybe you know of one in an author's particular open source package? pls point me to one you know about... thank you. az ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Essentially, I want to write a class that finds, and downloads a file from a web server. Such tools already exist, although they may not be written in Python. In particular, google on "wget" or "curl" for two very well-known industrial-strength tools for downloading files from the web (and other places). If you just want something that works, I recommend you learn how to use those tools rather than re-inventing the wheel. (A lot of my scripts that download from the web do text processing in Python then call wget for the actual download.) If you add "python" to your search terms, you may find the sort of code you are looking for, or at least examples that will point you in the right direction.

httplib2 (http://code.google.com/p/httplib2) by Joe Gregorio of Google
is what I use. It has an intuitive interface that's easy to use.
$ pip install httplib2
>>> import httplib2
>>> http = httplib2.Http()
>>> resp, content = http.request("http://example.org/";, "GET")
Here are more examples: http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/wiki/Examples
