Determining method type given its string name presentation and its corresponding object reference.
Hi I am a bit new to python. I was wondering if there is a way to determine whether or not a given string is a member method of a given object: def is_a_method(self, attr_name): 'returns True if attr_name is an instance method of self; false otherwise' The problem is that I have overridden __repr__ in such a way that it's not self-contained. It makes a call to a member method, call it m(), that would call up getattr() which eventually makes another call back to __repr__: Example output: (). So, I want to trap all attr_name that are methods comeing into m() and make sure they're not passed on to getatrr() i.e. making __repr__ self-contained (hopefully). Is there a simple way to determine a given attr_name is_a_method()? Thanks in advance for all your help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Determining method type given its string name presentation and itscorresponding object reference.
"or perhaps callable(getattr(obj, strg, None)) if the need is related to an unknown string which may be a callable attribute of an object whose class is unknown ..." Hm.. the problem is I cannot call getattr() at all. Because getattr() will call my __repr__() which will call another m() that will eventually call getattr() again.. It's an infinite recursion. In general, I think every time you try to qualify a method attribute, e.g. obj.method, it'd actually end up making a call to __repr__()... obj.method would usually get you this output: () More or less I am trying to understand what getattr did to figure out the name "method" is actually a method (bounded or not). This way I can avoid the recursive call to __repr__(). I hope this clarifies my question a bit? Thanks a lot for the help ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Help wanted in piping in Windows
I want to develope a Winboard like application which will support Winboard protocol. For that I require to know how to handle piping in Python. I seperated out module popen2, but when I use fileObject.readline() then it halts the program if the sub-process is waiting for user input; will executing the readline() part in a seperate thread be helpful? My target platform is Windows. Links to helpful web resources and sample Python codes will be highly appreciated. Regards, Apple -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Boss wants me to program
I think since speed is not such an issue (I heard that python can make faster GUI programs) you should use Visual Basic. It is very well suited for Windows programming. There is the good thing that you can visually create the GUI hence it is easier to create the GUI.
