Question on periods in strings

Hello, this is my first time posting to the list, but my curiosity here is great. I was randomly toying with file writes and I ran into something that seemed quite odd to me. When a period is in a string, file write takes about double the time. I saw similar things with newlines, but I figured t

Minimilistic Python on Linux?

I'm working on a minimilistic linux project and would like to include Python. However, since Python is around 17MB (compressed) and previous releases of this linux distro are under 100MB (compressed) standard Python releases are much to large. I just need the runtime libs of Python, the absoulute

RE: Question on periods in strings

Thanks for the welcome :) You're right. Here's with the missed line (I was cutting out commented parts). Hopefully these are all cut/paste-able. #test A #runs in 5.8 seconds. from datetime import datetime testvar2='9a00' startTime = datetime.now() filehandle=open('testwriting.txt','w') for var
