that doesn't shock me :p
anyway you're talking about instalation while I'm talkig about single
standalone file.
Besides, if it was neccessary I bet MS would make that option (and it
wouldn't be a problem since installation is not done from a sinlge file
but from the CD (should be CD-RW in that case) with lots of files and
directories so they'd create just another directory on the installation
CD, say \All Documents\ )

No, but for most programs I used I never bothered to check where did
they put their settings.
That's just the thing, I'm not a professional programmer so I was
wondering is it possible to do it, and if it is how much trouble would
it be. If nothing I will just make a config file right next to the
executable..

I never used omniorb and have no clue were's the problem,
but if you don't find a solution just convert float into a string

Re: ideas for programs?
I agree with Fred. So here is a "problem" I had and wanted to solve. I needed an Atomic clock (well, not the real one but the one that connects to NTP server and gets the exact time) in a window that stays always on top. While I was writing it I included alarm, and a stopwatch. Than I wrote a simple e-mail client. First plain text and than included attachments, and even encryption. Ofc I could have found millions of such aplications on the net, but that's not the point, right? ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

re beginner
hi all,
I'm trying to understand regex for the first time, and it would be very
helpful to get an example. I have an old(er) script with the following
task - takes a string I copy-pasted and wich always has the same format:
>>> print stuff
Yellow hat 2 Blue shirt 1
White socks 4 Green pants 1
Blue bag4 Nice perfume3
Wrist watch 7 Mobile phone4
Wireless cord! 2 Building tools 3
One for the money 7 Two for the show4
>>> stuff
'Yellow hat\t2\tBlue shirt\t1\nWhite socks\t4\tGreen pants\t1\nBlue
bag\t4\tNice perfume\t3\nWrist watch\t7\tMobile phone\t4\nWireless
cord!\t2\tBuilding tools\t3\nOne for the money\t7\tTwo for the show\t4'
I want to put items from stuff into a dict like this:
>>> print mydict
{'Wireless cord!': 2, 'Green pants': 1, 'Blue shirt': 1, 'White socks':
4, 'Mobile phone': 4, 'Two for the show': 4, 'One for the money': 7,
'Blue bag': 4, 'Wrist watch': 7, 'Nice perfume': 3, 'Yellow hat': 2,
'Building tools': 3}
Here's how I did it:
>>> def putindict(items):
... items = items.replace('\n', '\t')
... items = items.split('\t')
... d = {}
... for x in xrange( len(items) ):
... if not items[x].isdigit(): d[items[x]] = int(items[x+1])
... return d
>>>
>>> mydict = putindict(stuff)
I was wondering is there a better way to do it using re module?
perheps even avoiding this for loop?
thanks!
