Calling ftp commands from python
Is it possible to run an ftp command to connect to some remote computer on the network. For example, if I want to retrieve some data from \\remcomputer\datafiles on the network and copy it to my local computer, how do I do it in python on the Unix side?

Writing at the beginning of a file
Let's say I already wrote a file and have the following: testing testing testing testing testing testing Is there an easy way to write something of variable length at the top of the file? For example, 6 testing written testing testing testing testing testing testing I tried to write some garbage on top right after opening the file and then use seek to overwrite the garbage, but since the string to be written can be of variable length, I'm not sure how much garbage I have to write initially. The other way to do what I want is to write the whole thing to a new file, but I want to skip that method if there's an alternative way. Another way of doing it is to buffer the whole file writing into some variable, but that means I have to change 2000+ lines of codes and change fp.write() to something else. Any suggestions please? Thanks Thierry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Walking through directories and files
I'm trying to use the os.walk() method to search all the directory from a root directory and display their contents. For example, I want my output to be like the following: directoryA stuffs.c stuffs2.cpp directoryB asd.c asdf.cpp Any ideas how to do it? Currently, I can only print all the filenames first and then the directory names. Thanks Thierry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Creating Pie Chart from Python
Those python pie chart add ons are not very useful. For my specific pie chart, I have some 6-8 items to show up and some of them occupy only 2-5% of the pie. This cause the names and percentages to overlap each other. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Which Python version are you using?

Re: HTTPS Login
Instead of using the following:

> data = urllib2.urlopen(req)
Try:
data = urllib.urlopen("https://web.site.com/default.aspx";, param)
