CSV files don't have widths, they are just sequences of data strings separated by commas. Each piece of data takes as much space as it needs. You could write code to force the strings to all be the same width as the longest string but that would just be making life harder for yourself when it comes to extracting it again. CSV is a data transport mechanism not a display format. Are you thinking about some kind of display mechanism like a web page table or a spreadsheet perhaps? They have widths. But how you set them is very different so you'd need to tell us what kind of table you have in mind. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] How to handle passwords in programs that perform FTP processes?
Python 2.4, Solaris 10. I have several programs that must transfer files from our Solaris 10-based intranet to our Windows-based intranet. They each have their own shell script to perform these file transfers, each customized for each program. Today I wrote a Python 2 program using the ftplib module that will replace all of these shell script programs and provide a standard interface for doing these transfers. It also will serve as a method for me to backup my programs on the Solaris 10-based intranet to a location on the Windows side. Even though these networks are supposed to be secure intranets where those who need to know know the generic user name and password for the FTP server, I would like to be as secure as possible with this information. How do I go about doing this? I am limited to whatever is available on the Solaris 10 operating system and it must work with Python 2.4 and its available standard libraries. I cannot use any outside software. However, I am free to write all the software I might like, assuming I can find time to do so. What would you sage Pythonistas recommend for my situation? -- boB ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
