Connection problems with irclib

2007-04-11 Thread Dropkick Punt
Hi. I've written a bot in python, using the irclib by Joel Rosdahl.

Works fine from my linux box at home, but when I upload it to my shell at
veritynet.net, can't seem to get it to connect to an irc server.

It doesn't report any errors.

Anyone have any idea how I might go about at least diagnosing the problem?
Any suggestions might help.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks but no. The shell is generally used for eggdrops, and port 6667 is
open. They even installed python specifically so I could run this bot.

list comparison help?

2007-04-14 Thread Dropkick Punt
Hi. I have a list of common prefixes:

>>> prefixes = [ "the", "this", "that", "da", "d", "is", "are", "r", "you", "u"]

And I have a string, that I split() into a list.

>>> sentence = "what the blazes is this"
>>> sentence = sentence.split()

Now I want to strip the sentence of all words in the prefix list. 

I tried this method:

>>> for x in prefixes:
...   if sentence.index(x):
... del sentence[sentence.index(x)]


This raises, the error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 3, in ?
ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list

This puzzles me, because if x isn't in the list, the subroutine shouldn't 
attempt to delete it
from the list, so I'm not sure why it's complaining.

Can anybody explain this to me, &/or show me a better way to do it?
