Hi Tutor,
I have a trouble with dealing with special characters in Python Below is
the sentence with a special character(apostrophe) "MOUNTAIN VIEW WOMEN’S
HEALTH CLINIC" with actually should be "MOUNTAIN VIEW WOMEN'S HEALTH CLINIC
".
Please help, how to identify these kinds of special characters
I left the "subject" above to be the same, as requested.
The actual subject might have been "Pythonic variable name use"
Alan says he had a challenge evaluating code (below) because the same
variable names were reused and it made me wonder if the python community has
general ideas about name re-u
Hello all!
My name is nate, and I am relatively new to this list, relatively being

How do I play sound files in python.
More specificly, I want to play ogg files especially, with

There are no special characters in Python. There are only Unicode
characters. All characters are Unicode, including those which are also
ASCII.

That is important information.
Python 2 unfortunately predates Unicode, and when it was added some bad
decisions were made. For example, we can write this in Python 2:
>>> txt = "abcπ"
but it is

I agree this is confusing: you have the same name, "fil

Hi All ,
I would like to unzip a file using python and then execute the sql
scripts in the file on Oracle database .
>>> from zipfile import ZipFile
>>> file_name = 'file.zip'
>>> z = ZipFile(file_name)
>>> print(z.namelist())
[]
>>> z = ZipFile('file.zip')
>>> print z.namelist()
[]

Steven,
I am not suggesting that a particular way of reusing a name is a good idea.
I am asking if some ways are encouraged and others are discouraged in the
python community.
Just to clarify one point you asked about:

It wasn't the reuse per se but the generic nature of
the names combined with reuse. Reusing names like
i,j,k for simple integer indices etc is not a problem.

security point of view. Potentially similar
to using exec() o
