suppose i'm calling two system processes, one to unzip, and one to
“tail” to get the last line. How can i determine when the first
process is done?
Example:
subprocess.Popen([r"/sw/bin/gzip","-d","access_log.4.gz"]);
last_line=subprocess.Popen([r"/usr/bin/tail","-n 1","access_log.4"],
stdout=sub
Thanks all.
I found the answer, rather easily.
To make a system call and wait for it, do:
subprocess.Popen([r"/sw/bin/gzip","-d","access_log.4.gz"]).wait();

here's a interesting real-world algoritm to have fun with.

called "reduce", which is really the heart of a larger software.
The implementation is really simple, but the key is to understand what
the function should be. I'll post
here are the answers:
Perl code:
sub reduce ($$) {
my %hh= %{$_[0]}; # e.g. {'1,2'=>[1,2],'5,6'=>[5,6],...}
my ($j1,$j2)=($_[1]->[0],$_[1]->[1]); # e.g. [3,4]
delete $hh{"$j1,$j2"};
foreach my $k (keys %hh) {
$k=~m/^(\d+),(\d+)$/;
my ($k1,$k2)=($1,$2);
if ($k1==$j1) {
my Python coding is not experienced. In this case, is
ps.pop("%d,%d"%(j[1],k[1]),0) out of ordinary?
if i have long paragraphs of documentation for a function, do i still
just attach it below the fun def?
