Thanks all for the posts, I guess I'm thinking in 'matrices' and in a matlab syntax. So I was trying to get the third element of a list of lists, or lists in a dictionay in syntax like matlab (yes, I should be using numpy or scipy). Anyway, Alan's final suggestion (and everyone else's) has helped

Greetings, I have no previous experience in scripting. Python is my first language... I'm currently trying to build a logic model for how to 'think' in Python, so please excuse my ignorance. Currently, I'm running through some basic 101 tutorials, to wrap my head around solving problems. I'm loo

[Tutor] Using split with a backslash

I have a data pair separated by a backslash. I didn' t think it would see an end of line if the backslash was inside the quotes. Can this be done? I don't have a choice in what the separator is. >>> LeafJawPositions='-42.0001\29.8001' >>> LeafJawPositions '-42.0001\x029.8

If you do sqlalchemy, I recommend you at least also look at sqlsoup to help making your mappings easier: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/SqlSoup If you don't want to write mappers and you don't need the relational database, ZODB also works: http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB

Well, the source is easy enough to read. Although I wouldn't call Twisted a complication. If all you want is your async server Hello World example, asyncore is fine. If you intend to use the stuff for serious things, one usually starts to reinvent/reimplement Twisted anyway. Andreas Am Mittwoch,

Hi, I am very much new to Python and it's available framework. When I search the over net about Python ORM, I found there are so many ORMs available and I was confused between them? I don't understand where to go? :( Can you please tell me something about Python ORM? Regards, Kumar
