Not specific to Python, but it will be implemented in it... how do I
compile a RE to catch everything between two know values? Here's what
I've tried (but failed) to accomplish... the knowns here are START and
END:
data = "asdfasgSTARTpruyerfghdfjENDhfawrgbqfgsfgsdfg"
x = re.compile('START.END', r
> You'll want to use a non-greedy match:

Here's how I'm doing this right now, It's a bit slow. I've just got
the code working. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way of
doing this... simple example from interactive Python:
>>> word = ''
>>> hexs = ['42', '72', '61', '64']
>>> for h in hexs:
... char = unichr(int(h, 16))
...

Doesn't work that well, I've tried it, you should too... the author
even admits this:
extractText() [#]

Wondering if someone would help me to better understand tempfile. I
attempt to create a tempfile, write to it, read it, but it is not
behaving as I expect. Any tips?

>>> print x

>>> print x.read()

0

Ah yes... thank you:
>>> import tempfile
>>> x = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
>>> x.write("test")
>>> print x.read()
>>> x.seek(0)
>>> print x.read()
test

I think this is more a GnuPG issue than a Python issue, but I wanted
to post it here as well in case others could offer suggestions:
I can do this from a python cgi script from a browser:
os.system("gpg --version > gpg.out")
However, I cannot do this from a browser:
os.system("echo %s | gpg --b
I have a C program that works very well. However, being C it has no
GUI. Input and Output are stdin and stdout... works great from a
terminal. Just wondering, has anyone every written a Python GUI for an
existing C program? Any notes or documentation available?
