I have a sort of simple CMS system on my website made from a conglomeration of
scripts. On the left column, I want to add a feature that shows the last
five items updated (only html & exe files in the /var/www/html/ for example)
directory that I have updated, with each item as a link to the pag
Adding it into the PHP that creates the html would create too much overhead
since it loads each page individually upon request, and that would mean
running the modified time check on every page load.
But I was thinking about this after I sent the mail, and I think you have a
point with just o
I have the following code in my updates script (gets the five most recent
updated files on my site)
def get_fles(exts, upd_dir):
'''return list of all the files matching any extensions in list exts'''
fle_list = []
for each in exts:
cmd = upd_dir + "*." + each
ext_ls = glob.glob(cmd)
fl
One simple solution is to do:
fle = open(file)
contents = file.readlines()
file.close()
print contents[x] #or store this in a variable, whatever

I also recommend the book "Dive Into Python" - it gets awesome reviews, and

There's a few ways to accomplish this...the way that comes to mind is:

Should be:

You want readlines() not readline() and it should work something like this:
remailfile = open("remail2.txt", r)
remails = remailfile.readlines()
for line in remails:
#do something

How can I prepend something to a list? I thought that I could do
list.prepend() since you can do list.append() but apparently not. Any way to
add something to a list at the beginning, or do I just have to make a new
list?

Ok, it's a logic error in the while loop. Starting at the beginning: you
can't compare the value of "password" until the user inputs the value, which
is why it's requiring you to put password = "foobar" at the top. Otherwise,
password has no value, and as far as the interpreter is concerned, i
If you don't mind using an external program, you could use the 'display'
command from ImageMagick.

Rpm does in fact have dependency resolution, and rpm-based distributions use a
package manager that can download the dependencies and install them for you -
urpmi on mandrake, yum or apt4rpm on Fedora and Redhat, Yast on Suse
I've used all of these, they are all rpm based, and they all install
I use both Python and PHP on my website to do a variety of tasks. Some things
PHP can do much easier than Python, but if you're doing simple things like
form handling, Python will do nicely.
If you're comfortable with Python, use it. I find Python much easier to work
with than PHP for a lot

I've been considering some web projects recently, but I have some concerns
about selecting the tools I plan to use. I like Python, and I was immediately
thinking of using Zope to build on.
However, I am concerned about performance, resource usage, and scalability.

That's the problem there...you've got coin assigned outside the while loop, so
it is assigned 0 or 1 once, before the loop, and then you're running 100
checks on the same value.
If you move

to inside the while loop before the if state
Watch yourself on this one, slocate can often return some unexpected results
for file searches, and the last thing you want to do is delete something
important while trying to remove the latest game you installed.
Also, if you're installing from source you can often run "make uninstall" to

Alan, thanks for your responses, they're quite helpful. I suspect the real

I'm having trouble with Apache and Mod_python - mod_python is set to
use /var/www/html and pass all *.htm files on to the handler I wrote.
Unfortunately, mod_python does a greedy match,

there some way to limit the hand
You need an Apache config section to tell it what to use mod_python on and
how. For example, in httpd.conf or a separate file in your conf.d directory
for apache:
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler test
PythonDebug On
tells Apache to use mod_python on all .py f
Sorry, didn't see your reply until now...
the directory section can go either in your main apache config file (in my

directory. In my case, I have a python.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ that
contains the following:
