Re: % operation

[Rick Holbert]

It also looks like you are using an old version of Python running on an old
version of Linux.  Time to upgrade?

Re: pulling info from website

[Rick Holbert]

Bob,

Have a look at feedparser:

http://www.feedparser.org/
http://diveintomark.org/projects/feed_parser/

For bbc news feeds, I use the following url:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/syndication/feeds/news/ukfs_news/front_page/rss091.xml

Re: date diff calc

[Rick Holbert]

Here's how to do it as a one-liner:

python -c "import datetime; import time; print 'Only %d days until
Christmas' %  (datetime.date(2004, 12, 25) -
datetime.date.fromtimestamp(time.time())).days"

Here's a slightly shorter way of doing it:

python -c "import time; print 'Only %f more days until Christmas' % 
(float(time.mktime(time.strptime('2004-12-25', '%Y-%m-%d')) -
time.time()) / 86400)"

Re: jython and swing

[Rick Holbert]

Could it have something to do with your PATH or CLASSPATH settings?

Here's a test script that works for me:

#!/usr/bin/env jython

from java import lang
from javax import swing

print "lang attributes: "

for attr in dir(lang):
print "\t%s" % attr

print
print "swing attributes: "

for attr in dir(swing):
print "\t%s" % attr

print
print "Good Bye!"

Note: both #!/usr/bin/env jython and #!/bin/env jython seem to work on the
OSU stdsun system...

Re: Put a file on an ftp server over ssl

Have a look at Putty's pscp and PySCP...

Re: different time tuple format

[Rick Holbert]

Like the last poster said, use %Z.  On my Mandriva Linux system I get the
following results:

>>> time.localtime()
(2005, 6, 7, 15, 7, 12, 1, 158, 1)
>>> time.strptime("2005-06-07 15:07:12 EDT", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z")
(2005, 6, 7, 15, 7, 12, 1, 158, 1)
