I don't know many ways to debug code that don't involve the terminal
in some fashion. Even with a good IDE you're going to have a terminal
built in for output.

Re: [Tutor] Python advice about API, JSON

I don't think dealing with a specific API is actually appropriate for
this list. I'll try to answer the general elements.

First question: Why do you need multiple versions of this theoretical
class floating around? Perhaps if you wrote a single module api that
handles interactions with the API, you can then import that module
into any other module that will use the API, and you only have to
write all of this once.

I personally prefer multiple modules, though it absolutely depends on
the demands of the project.

Re: [Tutor] Class errors

2015-01-23 Thread Patrick Thunstrom
If the code I'm seeing is correct, the problem is the class is Jobs,
and you instantiated a Job, which doesn't exit.

Replace one with the other in either case should fix it.

Re: [Tutor] Python for linux

2015-01-27 Thread Patrick Thunstrom
You're actually asking multiple subquestions here, let me start by
asking a clarifying question:

When you say "log in to the Linux machine" I assume you mean you need
to access a remote host? Your script will be running locally?

Next your other questions:

Checking permissions of a file: Look into the os module.

Checking for substrings: This is has many answers. Have you tried to
do this yet?

For the same basic speed up, a generator expression with a call to
next() will produce similar results. Without the additional code to
get the indexed item.

index = (i for i, _ in enumerate(original_list) if original_list[i] >=
target >= original_list[i + 1]).next()

The only catch is it raises a StopIteration exception if no element
fits the test.
