Re: python noob, multiple file i/o

The general idiom for altering lines in a file is to open the original file and write the alterations to a temp file. After you are done writing to the temp file, delete the original file, and change the temp file name to the original file name. If instead you were to read the whole file into a va

Re: TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Hi, I can't find any documentation on the profile() function. But it might take a function reference as an argument and not the string you are feeding it. For instance: profile(t.printworld) Note the difference between: t.printworld t.printworld() The latter executes the function and then re

How about: --- x = [0, 100, 200, 1000] y = -1 inserted = False for i in range(len(x)): if(y <= x[i]): x.insert(i, y) inserted = True break if(not inserted): x.append(y) print x -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listin

Re: Executing a list of functions

lst = [a, b] The () symbol causes the named function to execute, and a function call in the code is always replaced by the function's return value. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

* operator--as in *args?

Hi, I can't find any documentation for the * operator when applied in front of a name. Is it a pointer? What about the @ operator? Are there python names for these operators that would make searching for documentation on them more fruitful? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/p

class objects, method objects, function objects

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what this passage from GvR's tutorial means: --- Class definitions, like function definitions (def statements) must be executed before they have any effect When a class definition is entered, a new namespace is created... When a class definition is left norma

Re: class objects, method objects, function objects

Oops, here is that last sentence in context(section 9.3.4): What exactly happens when a method is called? You may have noticed that x.f() was called without an argument above, even though the function definition for f specified an argument. What happened to the argument? Surely Python
