Hello all, in my program I need to know what desktop environment the
user is running. I figured this piece of code works, but apparently not
on every Linux distro. On Ubuntu it did the trick, but then I heard of
someone who runs SLiM that he get's an error with this.

I learned Python from Learning Python and Python Cookbook initially.
Also lots of practice. Reading comp.lang.pyth
Hello everyone,
I'm new to python and have set up a program to parse through reports. The
script has started very basic and I've been folding in additional features
as it moves along. What it does is takes a specified log file (exported from
splunk) and parses through it with a regex specific to t

A few years ago I would have said that meant you had a broken
design since it was very bad practice for any program to depend
on the users environment. nfortunately recent dev

Sounds like a job for a dictionary.
Just find the key and access the corresponding function.
Do you know how to do that? (Use a dictionary to strore fun
I am trying to use a SOAP Web Service with Python 2.5 and I'm following
the instructions in Chapter 12 of the "Diving into Python" tutorial.
It refers to three libraries that I'm having problems accessing or that
appear out of date : PyXML, fpconst and SOAPpy.
The tutorial also seems to be for Pyt

Thanks for your explanation. Apparently it's not possible to detect it
in all cases, but it would be nice to detect it for regular users, so

Hi!
I would like to know how a file can be open for a stream event?
I ask this question because of the SAPI 5 save a wave file and the only
way to do that is with a file stream. The file read is simple and uses the
isfilename flag, but the save file I can not find in all my searches, at
