Re: [Tutor] Memory Management etc

Hi Thanks for response. I'm pretty sure for one reason and another that hardware is not at fault. I use the windows monitor to track memory usage. I must say I hadn't realised that Python doesn't release memory back to the OS - someone else advised me to try the alpha 2.5 version which cures

Hi Matt, the traceroute can be done from the client side or eigther from the server side. The two ones should give the same result with reverse order. In this case you can do the tracerouting from the server side when the client ask it. I am just thinking about a simple finger deamon, that can d

Hi Thanks for response. Tried this both in IDE and DOS window including under pdb. No docstrings used at present. -i option won't help either as the machine generally reboots - python reports no problems at all. The reason I think it is memory is that the amount of memory available to the p

[Tutor] HELP: using popen2/popen3

Hello, I'm trying to start a shell script from my python script using os.spawnlp. But I'm not getting msgs from stderr. I thought that I could use popen2/popen3 to replace os.spawnlp but I'm having problems with syntax and how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here's my orig

Hi Gregor, Maybe the module traceback could help you here. It has same functions to extract the actual stack of the program. HTH Ewald Gregor Lingl wrote: > Hi all, > > I've a class with a lot of methods, for which I'd like to check argument > types. > To show you, what I mean, I've written

Hi all, I've a class with a lot of methods, for which I'd like to check argument types. To show you, what I mean, I've written a prototype I'm not really content with. It goes like this (a bit revised in order to have short codelines (*mail* ;-)): class BadArgError(Exception): def __init__(

Re: [Tutor] sockets

I need to send some data, 2 strings and a list, to a remote computer. After thinking about it some last night, it wouldn't be hard to just send it all as a string and then parse it on the receiving end. I'm writing a program for work (and for a class project, so no answers!) that will provide s

This is exactly what I am trying to do. I am so confused with trying to write this. I am not very familiar with any of the functions. I keep reading my book and reading my book, and none of it seems to make sense anymore. I can write extremely simple functions, but when I need to use more than
