It is easy to embed into your app. If you keep to ANSI SQL there should be no trouble changing databases at a later date. I use SQLite for my WebSite http://IvoNet.nl and it performs great. The whole database is less than 1Mb including the SQLite module for python. No 50Mb install needed if you just want a simple database. It makes my website very portable and easy to install. MySQL works great to. I have used it a lot and it is very available. Just about every provider can provide you one. Ivo. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't know anything about BeautifulSoup, but to the other questions:
var=re.compile(regexpr) compiles the expression and after that you can
use var as the reference to that compiled expression (costs less)
re.search(expr, string) compiles and searches every time. This can
potentially be more expensive in calculating power. especially if you
have to use the expression a lot of times.
The way you use it it doesn't matter.
do:
pattern = re.compile('[0-9]*\.[0-9]*')
result = pattern.findall(your tekst here)
Now you can reuse pattern.
Cheers,
Ivo.

You could also try something like this:
from sgmllib import SGMLParser
class IParse(SGMLParser):
def __init__(self, verbose=0):
SGMLParser.__init__(self, verbose)
self.data = ""
def _attr_to_str(self, attrs):
return ' '.join(['%s="%s"' % a for a in attrs])
def start_body(self, attrs):
self.data += "" % self._attr_to_str(attrs)
print "remapping"
self.data += ''
def end_body(self):
self.data += "" # end remapping
self.data += ""
def handle_data(self, data):
self.data += data
def unknown_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
self.data+="<%s %s>" % (tag, self._attr_to_str(attrs),)
def unknown_endtag(self, tag):
self.data += "" % tag
if __name__=="__main__":
i = IParse()
i.feed('''
original
italic
contents...
''');
print i.data
i.close()
just look at the code from sgmllib (standard lib) and it is very easy to
make a parser. for some much needed refactoring

if an *.url file just open it as a properties file (ConfigParser)

It is very clear to everyone that it's an assignment! Can't it all just be a "="? Thank you very much! Kind Regards Ivo Shipkaliev -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
subprocess.Popen() redirecting to TKinter or WXPython textwidget???
Hi Pythoneers, I am trying to make my own gui for mencoder.exe (windows port of the terrific linux mencoder/mplayer) to convert divx to Pocket_PC size. My current app creates a batch script to run the mencoder with the needed params, but now I want to integrate mencoder as a subprocess in my app. What already works: the starting of the subprocess.Popen and the subsequent killing of the process if I want it to. My gui does not freeze up as it did in my first tries. What I want to know (what does not yet work ;-)): - Redirecting the output of the subprocess to a textwidget in my GUI Any example or help is much appreceated. I tried the subprocess.PIPE but I think I don't really understand how it is suppost to work The redirecting to a file does work but this not my objective... So I'm stuck.

Thanx for trying Stewart,
but that is not what I need
The output of mencoder is not readable with readlines (i tried it) because
after the initial informational lines You don't get lines anymore (you get a
linefeed but no newline)
The prints are all on the same line (like a status line)
something like
Pos: 3,1s 96f ( 0%) 42fps Trem: 0min 0mb A-V:0,038 [171:63]
which is coninually updated while the process runs...

I really like to know how I can catch the output of a subproces.Popen()
command and redirect it to something else (like a textwidget )
and I really like to use the subprocess module (standard in v2.4) to get to
know it.
Another reason to use the subprocess module is I can stop the process
because I know the handle of the thread. The subprocess module knows all
this.

Ivo.

MP3 - VBR - Frame length in time
Dear Pythoneers, I have this problem with the time calculations of an VBR (variable bit rate) encoded MP3. I want to make a daisy writer for blind people. To do this I have to know exactly what the length in time of an mp3 is. With CBR encoded files I have no real problems (at least with version 1 and 2), but with VBR encoded I get into trouble. I noticed that players like WinAMP and Windows Media player have this problem too. I don't mind to have to read the whole mp3 to calculate, because performance is not a real issue with my app. Can anyone help me? I am really interested in technical information on VBR and MP3. Can anybody tell me the length in time of the different bitrates in all the versions of mp3 and all the layers. Tooling or links also really welcome. My own googling has helped me some but on the subject of VBR I get stuck. Thanks a lot, Ivo. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python doesn't catch exceptions ?
Hi all,
I have a curious problem with Python exceptions.
The following code doesn't catch HttpError:
```
from server.libs.googleapiclient.errors import HttpError
[..]
try:
OAuth.backoffExec(request)
return True
except HttpError as e:
return e.resp.status == 404
except Exception as e:
import inspect
import os
logging.error("caught exception: {}, defined in {}. we are in
{}".format(
e.__class__.__name__,
inspect.getfile(e.__class__),
os.getcwd()
))
logging.error("processed exception: {}, defined in {}.".format(
HttpError.__name__,
inspect.getfile(HttpError)
))
logging.error('e is an HttpError? {}'.format(isinstance(e,
HttpError)))
```
This code generates instead the messages:
```
ERROR 47.135[bigquery.py.create_table:362] caught exception: HttpError,
defined in server/libs/googleapiclient/errors.pyc. we are in
/Users/nilleb/dev/gae-sample-project/app

ERROR 47.136[bigquery.py.create_table:368] e is an HttpError? False
```
I haven't joined the paths in the messages above, but they are identical if
I do that manually:
```
/Users/nilleb/dev/gae-sample-project/app/server/libs/googleapiclient/errors.pyc
/Users/nilleb/dev/gae-sample-project/app/server/libs/googleapiclient/errors.pyc

Any ideas about how to diagnostic what's going wrong?
