Dear Users,
I'm looking for an atomic method for creating a file on the hard disk
from python.
Currently I'm using;
def (command):
"""Creates a file with the name given by command."""
comFile = open(comFileName, 'w')
comFile.close()
This is not atomic as there are two operations nee
All,
I have a dumb question...hopefully someone can shed some light on the
difference between for and while in the situation below.
I'm trying to iterate through a list I've created. The list consists
of a command, followed by a 'logging' message (a message printed to a
console or log file

No. One of the core Python values is "Explicit is better than implicit."
If you like implicit behaviour, try Perl ;-)
Type 'import this' at the Python prompt for more...

Guess I mixed that up with VBScript...

Hi.
I'm re-writing a rather complex bash script I've been using for years
in Python. The bash script uses a relatively simple configuration
file in order to get pertinent information before it runs. The
configuration file is relatively simple: about 30 variables are
defined in this manne

I'm not sure if this is addressed to me but I'll reply anyway. :)

Let's say I have a program that is learning how to find patterns in a
list etc.
list = [1,2,3,5,8,13]
So the python program (Kitty.py) opens the python interpreter and copies
this list to it.
It then can try some pattern finding things it already has stored
(PositionN+1 - PositionN etc.)

Thanks...
I was able to use the following to get what i needed done:
inp = open('input.txt', 'r')
out = open('output.txt', 'w')
for line in inp:
Fields = line.split(",")
ID = Fields[0]
ProductMess = Fields[1]
Product = ProductMess.split()
for item in Funds:

A dict is a lookup table (a hash table,

Here you are creating a list and assiging the name
Greetings,
Try something with this:
>>> string = 'abc'
>>> string
'abc'
>>> for i in range(len(string)-1,-1,-1):
... print string[i],

A string is a sequence of chars, and you can use slices with it [1].
I'm working out of chapter 6 of Core Python
Programming (2nd Edition). For one problem, I am
supposed to write a script that is the equivalent of
string.strip(). Obviously, using any version of
string.strip() defeats the purpose of the exercise.
I'm not sure how to proceed. My biggest stumbling
