Hi,
Re: coding style, I can *really* recommend the book 'Code Complete'
(http://cc2e.com/). It doesn't focus on Python specifically, but it's a
wonderful book. You can find a pdf checklist of the book if you Google a bit.
Cheers!!

I would like to know how to call a program from within a program and what

Hello,
I have a large code that I am using for ARC GIS I know could be much smaller
but it works like it is. I have programmed in C++ but am just beginning with
python I believe the answer would be to do a parallel array however I am having
trouble keeping the SQL statment in the string format
Can you use something like this:
for i in range(1,201):
s = str(i)
Then Path = '1' can become Path = s

Hi all,
I am reading the source of a project I hope to help with
(http://www.qwitter-client.net). I sometimes see something like:
val=val or 1
I am guessing that val is an int. If val==0, the 'or' kicks in and
val=1, else the or is not needed and val=val. Am I close? Can other
words or symbols be u

Yes this is a combination of what is known as short circuit
evaluation of boolean expressions and a quirk of Python that
returns
Thanks to all for the quick responses. Python always surprises me with
its shortcuts...

Doesn't short-circuit evaluation refer specifically to the behavior
where arguments are only evaluated if they need to be? It's a very
useful feature, but not technically required for the "val = val or 1"
behavior to work.
Yes, exactly.

I didn't read through your code, but to call an external program see
the 'subprocess' module in the standard library:
