Re: How to Retrieve Data from an HTTPS://URL
You might be using ActiveState python on Windows? If so, you most likely do not have the SSL layer that's required to process HTTPS protocol queries. You should install 'standard' Python from python.org to get the SSL handling functionality. I understand that ActiveState can not distribute the SSL code, for national security reasons. :-) LL -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Since you already found the anchor tag with the 'btn' class attribute,
just grab it's href attribute like so:
for incident in row('td', {'class':'all'}):
n = incident.findNextSibling('a', {'class': 'btn'})
link = n['href'] + "','"
Works for me...

Re: CGI question
sophie,
If you have the URL in a variable, it's easy to parse it into it's
components (one of which is the query string) like so:
>>> from urllib2.urlparse import urlparse
>>> urlparse( \
"http://[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:8080/mytext.php;hellothere?this=test+value&and=that+one#anchor")
('http', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080', '/mytext.php', 'hellothere',
'this=test+value&and=that+one', 'anchor')
>>> print _[4]
this=test+value&and=that+one
>>> print _.split('&')
['this=test+value','and=that+one']
Then just use unquote_plus() from urllib to get the original query
arguments.
Hope that fills in some of the missing links. :-)

Re: is there a smaple to create syslog server on Windows.
WIndows has a syslog server. It's called the Windows Event Log. No need to build a whole new one. *grin* Now... if you just want an app that listens on a log port and sends it's message to the Event Log, then I can't help you but to suggest that a *nix knowledgable programmer may help you write one. Actually, I've considered writing such a thing myself -- just haven't had the time. Maybe googling for a syslog to EventLog service might turn something up. Sorry I'm not more help, LL -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: smtplib error('Connection reset by peer')
Do you actually run an SMTP server on your local machine and is it configured to accept mail on the localhost interface and does it allow mail forwarding such as you attempted? LL -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: What's wrong with this code snippet?
For what it's worth, GenerateRandomColour does not access any instance variables and therefore needn't even be a member of the class Population. If you wanted it there for encapsulation purposes, consider making it a staticmethod like so: @staticmethod() def GenerateRandomColour(): rn.seed() colour = rn.choice(['C', 'P', 'Z']) return colour Just something to consider...

Re: Shrinky-dink Python (also, non-Unicode Python build is broken)
I myself wonder why python.dll can't just load a companion i18n.dll when and if it's called for in the script. Such as by having week references to those functions and loading the dll as needed.And probably throwing an exception if it can't be loaded. Most of the CJK stuff could then be carried in that DLL and in some cases, such as py2exe, not even be included because it's not used. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Decimal ROUND_HALF_EVEN Default
If 'bankers rounding' is HALF_ROUND_EVEN, what is HALF_ROUND_UP? I confess to never having heard the terms. I usually do: Y = int(X + 0.5) scaled to proper # of decimal places. Which type of rounding is this? If either. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
