Hi all,
I have written a Python app, a company who don't use Python want to integrate
its back end with their C++ coded GUI.
At the moment they are proposing using CSV files to communicate between the

Hi all,
My GUI app dumps some diagnostic output to the terminal, starting it from an
XP terminal, all is well.
Starting it as app.pyw so no terminal is needed - and err - the app randomly
locks because the diagnostic output is - backing up ?
Remove diagnostic output & app.pyw is 100% reliable.

I needed to copy this matrix to 'self.old_data', so I have been
using
.deepcopy(), which works OK but is SLOW (12+ secs)
Are you sure you need to copy it./ A simple reassignment should work
and then reconstruct the structure using fresh lists/dictionary etc.

Dave,
For some reason the indentation is very strange in this code. I think
it must have something to do with how you posted it (or my mailer is
messing it up?), as it would be a syntax error at runtime. If you can
have more consistent indentation in your posts it will make t

Don't worry this is one of the hardest bad habits to break.
You are not alone. The easiest way is to just pass the data
