There are some cool stuff at "ActiveState". Try "ActivePython" ;-). After installing you have not only 'Python' but also some good documentations and also some extra modules like 'win32' (or some else, i can't remember) to access Wintedo specific things. Stuff not to pay, it's not like the Komodo and Visual Python... these last two products looks be good, i must look for a suchs GNU/Linux version... Open you're eyes on the follow link ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_programming_language I also recommend the website mentioned and this project. On the botton of the page look for the free books and ... Pay attention on this page ! Stuff that must by pay. O'Reilly have some good books about Python (and more) here a little list that im surrely recomends. I like the books of O'Reilly because it's easy to read, the used english language are clear and funny to read. The content are right, just some time it's refer/recommends to other books. But finally when you have some (good!!!)books its easyer. At first when beginning with Python i have encounter some troubles to find the right book on my level. In the begin i have read some books not specially here in the list and some other here of the list but in another order and founds the level to high because i have no programming background (or recive some courses). I have interesting in programming, it's a little begin. My recommended list of books and direction to read : 1) Learning Python 2) programming Python 3) Python Pocket Reference 4) Python in a Nuteshell 5) Python Essential Reference 6) Python Cookbook Try the first, second, third, ... If you like it, buy the book, so you contribute for next devloppments of his books ... Other great books but not from O'Reilly Think like a computer scientiste For Dummies Beginning Programming (with Liberty Basic and not her to be in subject but i like these ;-)) Sorry for the bad English, i try to help ... -- David Van Mosselbeen - Debian Sarge user [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Show current ip on Linux
Hi, Im a newbie in Python, and also in Fedora Core 3. (Yes, Linux is fine man :-) My question is : How can i rwite a script that show my current ip. If i have more than one network card, the script must then show all used ip. It's important that this will work on a linux. i Have rwite some piece of code that realy work under Windows XP, but the same script wil not work on Linux. Verry thanks to all vulunteers. -- David Van Mosselbeen - DVM http://dvm.zapto.org: --- Fedora Core 3 User -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks for support.
I have read the refered page you show above. I try some piece of code that
im have copy and paste it into a blank file that i give the name
"ip_adress.py" to test it.
THE SOURCE CODE :
-
import commands
ifconfig = '/sbin/ifconfig'
# name of ethernet interface
iface = 'eth0'
# text just before inet address in ifconfig output
telltale = 'inet addr:'
def my_addr():
cmd = '%s %s' % (ifconfig, iface)
output = commands.getoutput(cmd)
inet = output.find(telltale)
if inet >= 0:
start = inet + len(telltale)
end = output.find(' ', start)
addr = output[start:end]
else:
addr = ''
return addr
# End python code
But now, it's fine to have some piece of code but this wil not work on my
computer. I'm sure that y do somethings bad.
To run the python script on a Linux machine. How to proceed it ?
1) I have open a terminal
2) then i type "python ip_adress.py" (to run the script)
But nothings, i not view the current ip of my computer.
What happend ?
