Hey all, again: Thanks for the delete thing. Helped with that problem a lot. Especially the getattr thing came in handy.
Question 1: How do you guys indent and put in the triple greater than signs and all that when sending mail? Manually? Coz the last mail I sent was using the gmail indent thing and it doesnt seem to have worked. Anyway: Question 2: I have this script that downloaded a lot of files from one server into one local directory and the files are named in a particular order and I want them to be opened in this very same order so that I can copy the contents of each to one main file and then convert to pdf. However, the naming schema is like this (Roman numerals in parts) and python doesn't seem to be able to sort it properly. 1.I.1; 1.I.2; ....; 1.I.20; 1.II.1.1;1.II.1.2 1.II.2;...1.II.10; 2.I.3; Because of the roman numerals that are always in the second part fo the filename, it could sort based on how I wanted. I listed all the files in the said directory: files=os.listdir(location) I tried using a sort algorithm that goes through the list starting from index 0 and then compares each index with the next one and if they are not arranged as they should be, the two are switched and then it starts again. The thing is, it is so slow! It hardly goes past index three in the list and there are so many files. *about fifty*. Could anyone help me with the python impelentation of such an algorith and how it should sort. Thanks.
