Re: [Tutor] Python Versions

There are 3 big schools of "how do you program" as far as what tools you have open where. IDE Geeks: "the author" you are reading about is one if them. This means you run eclipse, idle, visual studio, kdevelop, etc, and you debug and run out of that as well if you can. This is what most primarily

Re: [Tutor] Python Versions

I'm a "she" not a "he". :-) But actually I don't believe I was a member of this group when I was working with the book "A Byte Of Python" I don't believe I ever described a problem with raw_input here. That concept seems pretty clear to me but as you say the OP hasn't described a specific pr

Re: [Tutor] Python Versions

Actually the first thing I noticed is the author would say something like "you can run the program by pressing F5 or selecting "run program" from the "run" menu. Neither of those things work from the shell. Saving programs also didn't work well for me when I put them in the shell. Do people r

Re: [Tutor] python and interface duplex checks

Python can easily run ifconfig -a itself and then move through its output. You can either parse out each string and then redisplay them. If you *really* want to rewrite ifconfig, you need to call ioctl (http://docs.python.org/lib/module-fcntl.html) and you need passing in ioctl codes such as ones

[Tutor] user-given variable names for objects

I'm sure this is a classic beginner's topic, and I've read a bit about it online already, but I'd like to ask about it here as well. I want to assign names to objects based on what a user inputs so that I can later keep track of them. In particular, I want to time multiple events by gett

[Tutor] python and interface duplex checks

Most easily: If your card supports ethtool, you can just open the ethtool startup config file to check there whether or not you set it to duplex in the configuration (see if you have an ETHTOOL_OPTS env variable). If you're not sure if your card can handle duplex (or you're not sure the config fil

I have the latest python version too when I first started "A Byte of Python" my code wouldn't work either. My problem was that I was programming in the shell (the screen with the three '>>>' on it). I found when I wrote the examples in a new window (cntrl+N) they all worked as advertized. He
