Hi all,
I'd like to create a library of functions that would allow writing
Python scripts that would control a Hemisson robots via a serial
interface. I'll be using the pyserial module heavily, but I'm
wondering what would be the best way to approach this . Should I
create a "Robot" class and defin
Thank you all for your insights.
mx.DateTime and feedparser seem to be the easiest to work with.

There are basically a number of things you might want:
1.) sys.argv[0]
2.) __main__.__file__
3.) sys._getframe
The first two will tell which script is the main program. The last one
will tell you which function has called you.
But as Kent has pointed out, this is rarely a good idea. Actually, it

Hello Tutor!
I am building a couple of scripts to manage a database for our company.
The projects name is 'dgf'. As a lot of the functionality is used in
more than one of these scripts, I moved this functionality to a module
(dgf.py). It has several functions now.

Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed Parser includes a robust date parser that
works with your sample:
In [1]: import feedparser as fp
In [2]: fp._parse_date('Mon Feb 11 01:34:52 CST 2008')
