Re: [HELP] SMTPlib not sending my mail
Hi,
I am also facing the same problem, smtplib used to send mail a while
back but it stopped sending mails.
when i run this in interpreter
>>> import smtplib
>>> s = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
>>> s.sendmail(from, to, "message")
{}
>>>
though it is not giving any error, it is not sending mail.
Any help is appreciated.

Announcing the Python core sprint at PyCon 2008
As has occurred since the inception of PyCon, there will be a sprint on the Python core at this year's conference! If you will be attending PyCon (or will be in Chicago during the dates of the sprints), attending the sprint is a great way to give back to Python. Working on Python itself tends to deepens one knowledge of the language and the standard library. Plus it is just plain fun getting to sit around some tables with fellow Python programmers for several days (the sprint will last four days, but you do not need to attend all four days to participate). The sprint is open to everyone of all skill levels. We can always use help with things from updating documentation to preparing for the next release of Python 3.0. On Sunday evening of the conference there will not only be a sprint intro session, but also a tutorial on how to develop for Python. Details will be covered from where to look in the code base for things to some best practices tips. If you are interested enough to want to sign up to attend, please go to http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyCon2008/SprintSignups/Python and add your name and email address. If you have questions you may email me. Please sign up for the sprint by the end of February as an email on what you need to do beforehand will be sent at that time based on the sprint sign-up page. And if you are not attending PyCon, we will most likely have several people in attendance on IRC, thus allowing even people not at PyCon to participate! -Brett Cannon Python core sprint coach, PyCon 2008 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Intra-package References?? (again)
Hi Python list,
I have been struggleling with this before, but have never been able to
find a good solution.
The thing I dont understand is, I follow the guide here:
http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION00842
And have the same setup as the packages howto here:http://
docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION00840
But when I want to use Intra-package References, I need to put the
path to the packages explicit like this:
#sys.path.append('/path/to/pack/')
Before I can make import like this:
#from Sound.Effects import echo
from within the karaoke.py (just to stay with the tut)
If I print the sys.path from the same file, I can see that
#/path/to/pack/Sound/Filters/
is in the path.
Is there something that I completely is missing or could someone
please show me how, by example, how I use Intra-package References.
Best regards
Marc

If you're trying to authenticate network logins using passwords, and if you have control over both ends of the protocol but for some reason don't want to use a full-blown encryption scheme, it's far better to authenticate with something like SRP (http://srp.stanford.edu) than a more primitive method like HTTP digest auth. SRP doesn't require storing plaintext passwords, and more importantly, it protects the password from offline dictionary searches by someone sniffing the network connection. There is a Python SRP implementation embedded in TLSLite (www.trevp.com/tlslite) but it might be nice to extract or reimplement the SRP code so that it can be used separately from TLS. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: validate string is valid maths
It was a very loosely thought out problem, and my Maths isn't good enough
to define 'sane' rules for collapsing the signs/operators to make a
sensible expression; so take my constraints with a pinch of salt.
I guess a better way of putting it may be - now it has been pointed out
that 8+++9 is valid;
Remove the smalles number of symbols such that eval() will always return a
number, and the result is always the same.
and I havent had a chance to play with the couple of solutions posted
yet, so those criteria may have already been met.
One thing I have discovered is you cant just pass arbitrary valid
(expression wise) numeral/symbol strings to eval and have it work as
expected;
>>> eval('8-038')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "", line 1
8-038
^
SyntaxError: invalid token
becasue of
>>> eval('8-010')
0
Can I escape the meaning of the leading 0's on an integer?
and despite my initial claims, there is an overall aim. Still purely
just to play with python though - after someone mentioned Genetic
Algorithms on the list yesterday I thought I'd have a go at a very simple
one.
These long symbol/number strings are the 'genomes/chromosomes' (not certain
on correct terms), the 'genes' are 1234567890+/-*
I'm generating large populations of arbitrary length chromosomes. Using
eval(chromosome) to compute a number. The fittest individuals are the ones
who's genome evaluates closest to 1000, so in essence I'm evolving
solutions to making the number 1000 using 1234567890/*-+ (this was
partially inspired by the countdown numbers game discussed here too.).
Trivial and possibly pointless, but shiny enough for me to play with :)

Why not 3++-9, 45--+7? Does it have to be two operators? Why not 3++9
instead? they're the two earliest valid symbols. Can't repeat yourself
then? (I'm trying to understand the rules...)
This approach uses regular expressions. It doesn't follow all your

Re: py3k feature proposal: field auto-assignment in constructors
Hi, I appreciate everyone's feedback on the topic. Having reflected on what has been said here, I now realize that creating more complexity is not the way to go. I would rather favor something that relies on existing language features, something like the default keyword argument assignment in functions. This is probably stupid but as a noob I would have liked something like: def __init__( self. = host, self. = port, self. = timeout, message = "Connected."): pass This is probably even more preposterous than @host, @port, but to me it would make more sense.

i have problem manipulating mySQL data. When i add values in a Table,
i can recieve them instantly but when i check the table from another
script, the new values dont exist.
i'm not experienced in sql dbses so the problem might be something
outside python.
example (i do this to add values, and then i check and values have
been added):
import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = 'localhost',
user = 'root',
passwd = 'MYPASHERE',
db = 'test')
cursor = conn.cursor ()
cursor.execute ("""
INSERT INTO testsignin (user, pass, secretcode)
VALUES
('dkiauser', 'dkiapass', 'dkiacode'),
('gmtuser', 'gmtpass', 'gmtcode')
""")
print "Number of rows inserted: %d" % cursor.rowcount
cursor.execute ('SELECT * FROM testsignin WHERE user="gmtuser"')
row = cursor.fetchone()
print row
but then when i try to get them from another script with this:
import MySQLdb
conn = MySQLdb.connect (host = 'localhost',
user = 'root',

I guess I am too blind to see, but I couldn't discover a method description
like "double* PyList_toDouble". So, yes, my question is a C-API-newbie
question: What is the way to say "myCarray = SomePyMethod(InputPyList)"? Or
better, what should be here instead
static PyObject *_foo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) {
double *v;
if (!PyArg_Parse(args, "(d)", &v))
return NULL;
to get a list as an array of doubles into 'v' (and back to Python)?
I did read the API-description, but still am lost at this point. I presume,
once I get to know the answer I'll bang my head on the table ... ;-)

Given the difficulty of statically analyzing Python, and the
limitations you need to add for either static typing or type inference
to be practical, I think that the real future for faster Python code
is JIT, not static optimizations. Languages which enforce static
typing are, of course, not Python - that's why they have different
names, like Pyrex or ShedSkin or RPython.
I think static Python is pretty much a waste of time, really - if I'm
going to write statically typed code using a traditional C/C++/Java
style type system, I'll use a language designed for it, like D. If I
want *real* strict typing - the kind where you can actually make a
useful inference from the fact that the program is type-correct - I'll
use Haskell or Ocaml. There is a lot of choice out there and there's
no reason to try to make Python into whatever your favorite paradigm
is.

Reflection and aspect programming in Python
Hello, I'm a student at UCL Belgium and I have to write a paper about reflection and introspection in Python. It is somewhat difficult to find advanced information about reflection in Python, not only introspection but also the other sides of reflection. I'm using the book: "Programming Python, Thrid Edition" but the chapter only describes briefly some useful functions. The IBM site talks somewhat about the concept of "metaclass" but is there more about reflection than only metaclass programming? I'm also looking for a class diagram of the hierachy of the python classes "metaclass", "class", "object" but didn't find it nor did I find lots of information about that subject. I looked around on the site www.python.org and some others about what could be a killer application using reflection in Python an maybe more information about it. Like how does it use reflection to do the trick. Is there an advanced and completed Aspect Python plugin or are they all experimental? Are there some papers about that part of reflection or more detailed sites that talks about it. It's a wide subject with open questions. I lack a lot of information about it and finding advanced topics on the subject isn't that easy. That's why I ask those questions here, to have some enlightments and maybe some leads to explore. Thanks a lot. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's correct. Python is not standardized by any standards body. And no two implementations are even close to compiling the same language. A consequence of the lack of standardization is that it discourages implementations. There are about four implementations of something like Python (other than CPython), and none of them are close to being usable. Letting the author of one implementation control the language discourages other implementations. Submitting Python 2.5 to ISO/ANSI might be a good idea.

Zope (well... Zope2.x) has an object type named "Script (Python)". What you can do with them is restricted (for security reasons) but is obviously enough for what you want here. And really, you should *not* use dtml unless you have no other choice at all. Anyway: Zope is a world in itself, and most pythoneers don't use it.

The dll in question is in a directory mounted via NSF, but no part of

I've also tried to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH before starting Python,

I realize that there is a difference between the core language and the libraries, but Python depends on the libraries more than a lot of other languages do. They are the "batteries included" part. Indeed, there is a lot of stuff in the "Python Library Reference" which in most languages would be considered part of the core. The description of boolean operations (and, or, not), for example.

Extending the import mechanism - what is recommended?
I need to extend the import mechanism to support another file type.
I've already written the necessary C library to read the file and
return a python code object.
I found one example which just sub-classed imputil.ImportManager like
this:
from myLib import pye_code as pye_code
class MyImporter(imputil.ImportManager):
def __init__(self):
imputil.ImportManager.__init__(self)
self.add_suffix('.pye', self.import_pye)
self.install()
def import_pye(self, filepath, fileinfo, filename):
data = pye_code(filepath)
return 0, data, {}
This actually works fine if the module is just a few lines of code,
but it won't chain to the "built-in" importers; if the module that I'm
importing does something as simple as 'import re', it fails.
It may be that my confusion here is because (even after reading the
code), I'm not clear on the purposes of imputil.ImportManager vs.
imputil.Importer :-(
What is the "preferred" way to do this type of extension? One other
note; at this time, I just need to import individual module files with
this extension; I don't need to import packages.
Thanks!

I'm not a C API guru and I may not understand properly what info you
are looking for but from http://docs.python.org/api/sequence.html:
PyObject* PySequence_GetItem( PyObject *o, Py_ssize_t i)
Return value: New reference.
Return the ith element of o, or NULL on failure. This is the
equivalent of the Python expression "o[i]".
>
> // then return *v
> return with something like PyBuildValue (but didn't get so far)
This allows you to create a list (from
http://docs.python.org/api/listObjects.html):
PyObject* PyList_New( Py_ssize_t len)
Return value: New reference.
Return a new list of length len on success, or NULL on failure. Note:
If length is greater than zero, the returned list object's items are
set to NULL. Thus you cannot use abstract API functions such as
PySequence_SetItem() or expose the object to Python code before
setting all items to a real object with PyList_SetItem().
...and this allows you to populate it (from
http://docs.python.org/api/listObjects.html):
int PyList_Append( PyObject *list, PyObject *item)
Append the object item at the end of list list. Return 0 if
successful; return -1 and set an exception if unsuccessful. Analogous
to list.append(item).

Just to follow up on this, I dropped the the 2.6 version of
zipfile.py in my project folder (where the machine is currently
running Python2.4), used the ZipFile.open() and it worked fine.
I was able to successfully extract a 960 meg MDB file from the
zip-file. The one thing that did throw me off is that it
rejected specifying that the file be opened as binary:
z = ZipFile('foo.zip')
f = z.open('path/to/file.mdb', 'rb') #failed
f = z.open('path/to/file.mdb') # worked
but just opening with no type specification did allow me to
extract the file successfully. I don't know if I just struck it
lucky with newline/EOF translations, or if it really does do
binary file handling and you don't get a choice of non-binary
file handling.
Anyways, thanks to Gabriel (and all the authors of Python
zipfile.py library) for the solution.

I'd like to pass lists (in some cases nested ones) from Python to C and

My approach so far:

double *v;
if (!PyArg_Parse(args, "(d)", &v))
return NULL;
// then I can't access v like v[1] ...
// then return *v
return with something like PyBuildValue (but didn't get so far)

Why is that? Developping directly on a production server is defiinitively a no-no, whatever the language. So you *always* develop un a development environment. In PHP, this imply having a running HTTP server - usually Apache - correctly configured. Some Python frameworks, OTHO, ship with their own lightweight Python-based http server, which usually makes things far easier. Since quite a lot of web programmers already have Apache running on port 80, the framework's own server usually runs (by default) on another port. Also, most of the time, on the production server, you choose some other more appropriate deployement solution - which may or not include Apache - depending on the context. So the nice point here is that: 1/ you have way more freedom wrt/ possible deployment solutions 2/ you don't have to replicate the whole damn thing (if ever possible) on your local machine to develop the app. Of course, the actions to be taken when updating your app on the production server greatly depends on the deployment solution. > Python also seems to require some sort of "long running processes" I > guess that the python interpretor has to running all of time. s/Python/some frameworks/ You can write web apps in Python using plain cgi, you know. It's just very inefficient due to how cgi works - to make a long story short: the system has to launch a new process for each request calling your script, and you have to rebuild the whole damn world each time your script is called. Note that PHP suffers at least from the second problem, which can make it somewhat inefficient for some kind of applications. The point of long running processes is that most of the world is only built at startup and stays here between requests. > I am not really sure about what wsgi is supposed to accomplish. First and mainly, allow Python-based web apps to be independant from the deployment solution, by adding an indirection level. Instead of having [yourapp]<-->[http_server] which only work for the http server you targeted, you have [yourapp]<-->[wsgi]<-->[http_server.wsgi_adapter]<-->[http_server] which works for any http server for which a specific wsg adapter exists. There are also some other benefits since, the way wsgi works, the [wsgi] part of the above schema can include quite a lot of other things, sometimes without your application being aware of it (you may want to look for 'wsgi middleware' for more on this).

Depending on your transaction settings (both on your mysql connection object in code, and the engine used for the table(s) in mysql's DB), you may have to commit your transaction to make it visible in other connections.

Re: Problem with Tkinter scrollbar callback
Nope:
'repeatdelay': ('repeatdelay', 'repeatDelay', 'RepeatDelay', '300', '300'),
And even after I set it, it looks funny:
'repeatdelay': ('repeatdelay', 'repeatDelay', 'RepeatDelay', '300', '1000'),
And when I try it with the new repeatdelay (1000), the only thing that
has changed is that it waits 1000 milliseconds before exhibiting the

One simple solution would be to forbid import statements in the scripts, to import the scripts as modules and inject whatever functions you want them to be able to use in the module's namespace.

If you are concerned about security, this will be hard to achieve in Python. I imagine that this could be related to cheating prevention.

If your package is in pythons path, all it should need is an empty
__init__.py file in the package and also in the sub package Filters also.
If your program is a stand alone program that may be installed someplace
not in pythons sys.path, then I've been using a some what different model.
I'm not sure what others think of it yet, but it's working well for me.
[karoki_program_dir] (may not be in pythons sys.path)
karoki.py
[lib]
[tests]
__init__.py
(unit tests here)
[filters]
__init__.py
(various filters here)
(other local modules/packages here)
And in karoki.py add the local lib directory to the front of sys.path
before your local module imports.
lib = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(__file__, '..', 'lib'))
sys.path.insert(0, lib)
This also makes sure it's the program location path, and not the current
console directory.
For running tests, I use a command line option.
python karoki.py --test

Ron

I haven't strictly tried this, but PyArg_ParseTuple and Py_BuildValue
seem to be the orthodox ways to do Python->C and C->Python conversions.
But if Numpy isn't fast enough, then any Python at all in the solution
might be too much. Perhaps keeping your values in a file and reading
them into the C programs will work.

Removal of element from list while traversing causes the next element to be skipped
Look at this -- from Python 2.5.1:
>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> for x in a:
... if x == 3:
... a.remove(x)
... print x
...
1
2
3
5
>>> a
[1, 2, 4, 5]
>>>
Sure, the resulting list is correct. But 4 is never printed during the
loop!
What I was really trying to do was this:
apps = [name for name in os.listdir(ROOT) if
os.path.isdir(os.path.join(ROOT, name))]
apptitles = {}
for name in apps:
try:
app = __import__(name)
except:
apps.remove(name)
else:
apptitles[name] = getattr(app, 'TITLE', name.title())
which worked fine, until I actually had a directory with no module in it.
Then that directory was correctly removed from the list, but the _next_
one was skipped, so its title was never assigned, which caused problems
later in the program.

Python noob SOS (any [former?] Perlheads out there?)
For many months now I've been trying to learn Python, but I guess I'm too old a dog trying to learn new tricks... For better or worse, I'm so used to Perl when it comes to scripting, that I'm just having a very hard time getting a hang of "The Python Way." It's not the Python syntax that I'm having problems with, but rather with larger scale issues such as the structuring of packages, techniques for code reuse, test suites, the structure of distributions,... Python and Perl seem to come from different galaxies altogether... Be that as it may, the activation barrier to using Python for my scripting remains too high. I'd written a Perl module to facilitate the writing of scripts. It contained all my boilerplate code for parsing and validating command-line options, generating of accessor functions for these options, printing of the help message and of the full documentation, testing, etc. Of course, for Python now I don't have any of this, so I must write it all from scratch, and the thing is *I don't even know where to begin*! And meanwhile works needs to get done, projects finished, etc. So naturally I revert to Perl, yadda-yadda-yadda, and the Python project gets pushed back another week... In a way it's the usual story with learning a new language, but I've taught myself new languages before. (After all, there was a time when I didn't know Perl.) It's harder this time, somehow... Anyway, pardon the ramble. Is there any good reading (to ease the transition) for Perl programmers trying to learn Python?

You should not change/modify the original sequence iterating over.
In the list comprehension, try changing os.listdir(ROOT) to
os.listdir(ROOT)[:] so you are get a copy of the original list.

Trying to understand Python web-development
I don't know much php either, but running a php app seems straight forward enough. Python seems to always use some sort of development environment vs production environment scheme. For development, you are supposed to run a local browser and load 127.0.0.1:5000 - or something like that. Then to run the same thing in a development environment, I have to configure some files, or touch all the files, restart the web-server, or something. Why is that?

am not sure if it is the telnet on the connections end or it is my
program.
A little background, when I log in straight from the Linux Command
prompt. The only thing I get is a blinking cursor. Then I type in my
command 'FOO' enter then screen on the very next line returns 'OK',
Then automatically puts the blinking cursor on the next line. Then
when I want to quit the telnet session I hit CTRL+Z that takes me to
telnet> then i type quit.
My Program currently looks like it connects. Because the last string
that I get back that is not blank says: "Logged in successfully".
So my problem is that when I issue the command through tn.write("FOO
\n"). Then do a tn.read_until('OK\n', 10). It gets returned nothing. I
have also added tn.read_until('OK\n', 10).splitlines(). That is also
returned blank.
I have tried various different newlines \n \r \r\n. All the
documentation for telnet program that I am logging into says, use
Carriage Return after each command. Nothing seems to get back the
data. I am not sure if the Python telnet is looking for more of true
command line like telnet>.
Any help would be great.
Thank You Very Much,
Paul

Maybe you meant something else. That is what I was referring to, but it isn't the core functionality that I'm after. (My bad for a poor description.) I'm fairly excited at the idea of being able to do per-object mixins in xotcl. I guess it would look like this in python: BROKEN CODE: a = object() a.__class__.append( foo ) a.__class__.append( bar ) In python, if you want an object to me a member of 2 classes, it seems that you have no choice but to declare a new class that inherits from both. eg: class foobar( foo, bar): pass a = foobar() Is it possible to make an object be a member of 2 classes without defining such a class? I believe "per object mixin" is the correct term for such an animal. The first several google hits on that phrase all reference xotcl, so I'm not sure if that is an xotcl inspired vocabulary that isn't really standard. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Reflection and aspect programming in Python

I'm not familiar with what you mean by "the other sides of reflection",
perhaps you could explain what you mean exactly. But I'll try to give some
examples of what can be made in Python:
Direct introspection: hasattr(obj, "color") tells if obj has an attribute
"color". dir(obj) returns a list of obj's attributes.
Similarly, you can obtain an attribute by its name: getattr(obj, "color")
is a silly way of writing obj.color, but it's useful when "color" is
replaced by a variable.
You can set an attribute: obj.width = 3, or setattr(obj, "width", 3). You
can add any attribute to any object - the set of attributes allowed for an
individual object isn't defined by its class (in general).
Methods are attributes too, so all the above may be applied to testing,
retrieving and setting methods too.
As classes usually live in modules, the above technique allows you to get
a class given its name: cls=getattr(modulename, classname). And then
create an instance: obj=cls(some,arguments)
You can query any object its type: type(obj). In some cases (including all
user defined classes) you can change an object's class to another
dynamically: obj.__class__ = NewClass, and it will behave as it were an
instance of NewClass (but any missing attributes won't be created
magically)
You can dynamically create new types/classes: if Bar and Baz are classes,
type("Foo", (Bar, Baz), {}) returns a new class named Foo which inherits
from Bar and Baz. It's equivalent to this statement:
class Foo(Bar,Baz): pass
You can evaluate expressions at runtime: eval("2+2").
eval("Foo(some,arguments)") returns an instance of Foo.
You can compile blocks of code into a code object, and execute them, using
`compile` and `exec`.
Classes, its instances, functions, methods, code, execution frames,
builtin types, all of them are first order objects in Python: you can
create them, assign them to variables, pass them as arguments, query its
properties, modify them when allowed, etc.

Read sections 3 (Data Model) and 4 (Execution Model) in the Python
Language Reference.
The root of the class hierarchy is `object`; all other [new-style] classes
inherit from object direct or indirectly.
"metaclass" is a generic name. Metaclasses are to classes as classes are
to instances. The type of an instance is its class; the type of a class is
its metaclass. I won't even try to explain metaclasses further here; see
the links at http://www.python.org/doc/newstyle/
You may be interested in decorators too. Decorators allow for higher order
functions: a decorator is a function which takes a function as a parameter
and returns a (possibly different) function as a result.

Re: Extending the import mechanism - what is recommended?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I need to extend the import mechanism to support another file type.
I've already written the necessary C library to read the file and
return a python code object.
I found one example which just sub-classed imputil.ImportManager like
this:
from myLib import pye_code as pye_code
class MyImporter(imputil.ImportManager):
def __init__(self):
imputil.ImportManager.__init__(self)
self.add_suffix('.pye', self.import_pye)
self.install()
def import_pye(self, filepath, fileinfo, filename):
data = pye_code(filepath)
return 0, data, {}
This actually works fine if the module is just a few lines of code,
but it won't chain to the "built-in" importers; if the module that I'm
importing does something as simple as 'import re', it fails.
It may be that my confusion here is because (even after reading the
code), I'm not clear on the purposes of imputil.ImportManager vs.
imputil.Importer :-(
What is the "preferred" way to do this type of extension? One other
note; at this time, I just need to import individual module files with
this extension; I don't need to import packages.
Here's an importer I wrote some time ago to bring modules in from a
relational database. I won't trouble you with the code to compile the
modules/packages and add them into the database, but perhaps the
attached code will be enough to show you what you are doing that's not
working.

SELECT stuff FROM somewhere [WHERE boolean_expression]
or perhaps even

I'm not sure I understand. Here, taken from Modules/arraymodule.c, is
the definition of an arrayobject:
typedef struct arrayobject {
PyObject_VAR_HEAD
char *ob_item;
Py_ssize_t allocated;
struct arraydescr *ob_descr;
PyObject *weakreflist; /* List of weak references */
} arrayobject;
Now here is the function that gets an item from an array of floats:
static PyObject *
f_getitem(arrayobject *ap, Py_ssize_t i)
{
return PyFloat_FromDouble((double) ((float *)ap->ob_item)[i]);
}
This means that if you define an array of floats, call the arrayobject
'ap', then (float *)ap->ob_item seems to meexactly what you want: a c
array of floats. In what way is this not suitable?

You can always iterate over the elements of the list an fill your c
array with the results. Look at the array_fromlist() function in
arraymodule.c, this function does exactly this.

noob stuck on reading double
Hi all,
I have a .bin file which python just won't play ball with-
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong- is it simply incompatible?
I've read it fine using a C program - its 113 doubleword fields- apparently its
possible to handle these in python in a very similar way to C.
I can provide the c code and have attached .bin if anyone is interested...
Thank you all.
It imports as a string of rubbish...
i.e.
>>> text = f.read()
>>> print text
?F?C??y??>?
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@???/???8[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@?Q???Q???Q???Q???Q??ǑR[???Q???
It won't unpack using struct...
>>> unpack('d', text)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/struct.py",
line 87, in unpack
return o.unpack(s)
struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 8
Using str and repr gets me something that looks like unicode...
>>> str(text)
'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00

0\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\
etc.
Tried formatting it...
>>> str(text) % ('Python', 'g')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
Tried converting it to unicode...
>>> unicode(text, 'utf8', 'strict')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/encodings/utf_8.py",
line 16, in decode
return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 19:
unexpected code byte
I even tried chopping it up into 8 character pieces and then converting it into
a float, but I think I'm just being stupid by this point...
>>> the_list=[]
>>> index = 0
>>> second_dig = 7
>>> while index < (len(bum))/8:
... new_bit = bum[index:second_dig]
... the_list.append(new_bit)
... index += 8
... second_dig += 8
...
>>> print the_list
[u'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00', u'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00',

>>> the_list[1]
u'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
>>> float(the_list[1])
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas?

Re: ISO with timezone
Thanks,
that does help and now I have:
>>> from datetime import datetime, tzinfo, timedelta
>>> import time
>>> class TZ(tzinfo):
...def utcoffset(self,dt): return timedelta(seconds=time.timezone)
...
>>> print datetime(2008,2,29,15,30,11,tzinfo=TZ()).isoformat()
2008-02-29T15:30:11+8:00
But what I want to know now it how to get the actual time into the
expression instead of typing the 2008,2,29,15
So something like: >>> print
datetime(time.gmtime(),tzinfo=TZ()).isoformat(), but that doesn't
work.
I realize that I could do:
>>> t = time.gmtime()
>>> print datetime(t[0],t[1],t[2],t[3],t[4],t[5],tzinfo=TZ()).isoformat()
but I imagine there might be a cleaner way of doing this.
Thanks,
Nik
