traceback has:
child = winspawn('telnet 192.168.0.55:210')
When using telnet from CLI (on windows), you would type:
telnet 192.168.0.55 210
Note the space between the IP and port number and not a :colon.
Not sure this is your problem but probably worth mentioning.

Hi there python list.
I'm trying to open a text file named "This is_a-test'FILE to Ensure$
that£ stuff^ works.txt" (without the quotes) but I'm struggling to
find a way to open it.
>>> filename = "This is_a-test'FILE to Ensure$ that£ stuff^
works.txt.js"
>>> open(filename)

Thanks Tim, while this works, I need the name to be stored in a
variable as it's dynamic.
In other words, how do I rewrite
open(u"blah£.txt")
to be
filename = "blah£.txt"
open(filename)

OK. Let's focus on that. For the moment
Hi Richard
There are a number of considerations you need to take into account here.
Raw sockets is almost never the right solution, while a basic socket to

concurrency can very quickly make the solution a lot more complex than it

I have a question regarding mocking in unit testing.
Let's assume I have the following class:

cmd_args = cmd
pinger = pinger.Pinger()
with mock.patch('pinger.subprocess') as subprocess:

Hello tutors
I'm curious about managers and when to use them.
For example, I see they offer a Queue() for sharing a Q between
processes, but if I create a Q in the parent process and pass it down
to child processes, then they can put messages into that Q just fine,
and I presume the same thing for
mportant if I was writing to a Queue and
expecting all threads to see that message? Although if I needed to
command a thread to do something I'd probably have a separate class
and separate thread for that purpose.

Perhaps I should look into Cython as I'm currently working on a
project that utilises a C API.
I've been finding that getting the data types to be exactly what the C
API is expecting to be the hardest part.
With the original question in mind, here's an example calling into a
C++ external C API:
Depending on what you're doing you could run into problems.
Areas that have been challenging for me in the past:
* Loading 64bit compiled .dll in a 32bit Python environment and vice versa.
* Reading registry entries. MS tried to be clever by introducing the
Wow6432Node reg key.
And I'm sure there
You could just initialise your variables with float()
>>> float(26)/float(12)
2.1665
>>> varA = float(26)
>>> varB = float(12)
>>> varA/varB
2.1665
And so on...
In fact, you only need to initialise one variable with float for this to
work:
>>> varA = float(26)
>>> varB
Multi-threading takes practice!
Are you using an event object to signal the thread should exit? I'm
guessing you're just using a bool which is why it does not work.

Where to place the timer is up to you. Another thread is an option, but is
it necessary? Overhead needs to be considered.

While Alan has given you a far better solution, I feel someone should
mention the break statement as you will likely come across it a lot, and it
is quite an important flow control statement.
You could add a break statement to the else which would break out of the
while loop.

For starters, move away from Python 2 unless you have a good reason to use
it.
Actually, it's more likely that the char you are grabbing is UTF-16 not
UTF-8 which is moving into the double byte...

>>> u = u'\u2014'

Why pymalloc? I presume this means you're using ctypes which means I have

If you're allocating your own blocks of memory then you need to free them
too. IE, does each call to pymalloc have a corresponding call to pyfree?
Is the overhead of pythons built in malloc really a problem?

Ah OK, now I understand why you mentioned pymalloc to begin with.
I'm not familiar with uWSGI or cython. That said, why do you think it's
uWSGI causing a leak? It seems unlikely.
