Hi all,
After a rather long (and unfortunate) break from tinkering with Python, I am
back at it. I am working through the book Learning Python (based on 2.2/2.3
- I use 2.5), and in the chapter on while/for loops, ran across the
following example:
>>> L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> for i in range(len(L
On my Windows XP box running Python 2.4, I attempted to use the 'find'
module per the example in Programming Python (Ch. 2) - i.e.:
>>>import find
>>>find.find('*')
However, Python didn't find the find module. The docs say it's now
deprecated, but don't point to what tool should be used to replac
The book, "Programming Python", shows an example of os.chdir() on the
Windows platform, as follows:
os.chdir(r'c:\temp')
What's the 'r' for? It didn't seem to make any difference in how
Python works - at least not on the surface.
Thanks,
Don

O.k., I'm running SUSE Linux 9.2, Python 2.3.4,
I have changed my DB back-end from MySQL to Postgres for the larger

For some reason, everytime I think I finally understand the passing
arguments thing, I prove that I don't. However, I *am* getting a
little closer to getting it.

Greetings,
I have a script that gets a little info from the user, using a
dictionary, which I then store in a file via cPickle. This pickle
concept must be good for something, but I haven't figured out exactly
what just yet. At any rate, I would like to now get the code and be

When I pickle a SQL result into a file (ASCII mode), it lays out the data in
an interesting format. When I send it to the printer, I'd like to see it
arranged more like it is on the console screen - in tabbed columns. None of
the tutorial type stuff I've seen even mentions printing files, or acce

As a newbie developer, the easiest way for me to connect to MySQL is to
just copy & paste the connection commands into each funtion I write.
However, I know that's far from ideal, and consumes more time than its
worth. I would like to create a MySQL connection function that I can just

With the console-based menu system I'm building, I'd like to clear the
screen for each menu call - something like:
def main_menu():
clear #start with a fresh console screen, menu at top
print menuitems
This way, the users won't have to get too confused by all the previous
screens.

Greetings,
I've dabbled in programming/scripting a little, but never really seem to get
the hang of it. I thought I'd try out Python for a front-end to my
SQL database project. I've worked through the tutorial, and a few others to
some extent. At the moment, I'm really just tinkering, but have
37 matches
