On p.282 of "Python Cookbook" and in the Python docs on calling super: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/descrintro/#cooperation
it is clear that the first argument to super is a class and not a type. However, for the code below, I am getting an error when attempting to provide a class as my first argument and don't understand why. Also, since this is my first attempt at writing anything of any seriousness in Python, any other feedback is welcome. from ftputil import * import re from urlparse import urlparse class ftputilx(FTPHost): parms = { 'user': '', 'pass': '', 'site': '', 'path': '', 'file': '', 'action': '', 'lcd': '', 'autogo': True, 'debuglevel': 0, 'type': 'b' } def bindparms(self, **kwargs): for k, v in kwargs.items(): self.parms[k] = v def __init__(self, url, **kwargs): _s, site, self.parms['path'], _p, _q, _f = urlparse(url) if '@' in site: rxs = r'(.+):(.+)@(.+)' rxc = re.compile(rxs) rxm = rxc.match(site) (kwargs['user'],kwargs['pass'],kwargs['site']) = rxm.group(1), rxm.group(2), rxm.group(3) self.bindparms(**kwargs) super(ftputilx, self).__init__() if __name__ == '__main__': ftp = ftputilx("ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/linux/") print ftp.listdir(ftp.curdir) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
