Quoting from the website: "Finally, Nevow includes LivePage, a two-way bridge between Javascript in a browser and Python on the server. LivePage is compatible with Mozilla, Firefox, Windows Internet Explorer 6, and Safari on Mac OS X. Event handlers can be written in pure Python and Javascript implementation details are hidden from the programmer, with Nevow taking care of routing data to and from the server using XmlHttpRequest." http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodNevow Steve P. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You say you have "msaccess databases on a Linux Box" and you are not using the Jet Database engine. As far as I know, MS Access is just a front-end to databases, with Jet as the default backend (though it can connect to many others). What backend database engine/storage format are you using? There might be a python library for connecting to it, bypassing Access altogether. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Can't seem to insert rows into a MySQL table
grumfish wrote: The rowcount of the cursor is 1 after the execute is 1 and the table's auto_increment value is increased for each insert done. If the auto_increment is increased, then it seems like the row was inserted. Are you sure the problem is not with your SELECT attempt? Just a guess, but it seems like the first time I used MySQLdb, I was confused by the need to do a "fetchall()" (or "fetchone()" or "fetchmany()") after executing the SELECT. Something like this (not tested): result = cursor.execute(SELECT * FROM edict WHERE kanji = 'a') print result.fetchall() HTH, Steve P. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Would Yahoo's API work for you? IIRC, it allows 5000 queries per day and up to 100 results per query. It also includes some easy-to-use Python examples.
