wxPython import error

[contact]

I have tried several times to install wxPython on Fedora Core 2.  The
installation seems to go fine (from sources), but when I try to import the
wx module I keep getting the following error:

=

Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.

pydoc - suppressing builtins?

[contact]

Is it possible to persuade pydoc not to include documentation for
methods inherited from built-in classes? I have several classes that
inherit from dict, and don't really need documentation thousands of
lines long that consists mostly of dict's methods repeated multiple
times.

I'm sure I could qite easily write something to post-process the HTML
files; just wondering if there might be an easier way.

thanks
Alan

mxDateTime on Mac: Fatal Python Error

[contact]

I'm trying to get mxDateTime working on a Mac so that I can use pyscopg
and cx_Oracle. The Egenix base package builds and installs quite
happily, but then when I try to import it I get

>> import mx.DateTime
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Abort

... any ideas?

Environment:

OS X 10.3.8

checking if two things do not equal None

[contact . trigon]

if (a, b) != (None, None):
or
if a != None != b:

Preference? Pros? Cons? Alternatives?

Arbitrary objects are not a concern.

> 
> if a is not b is not None: ...

Thanks for the examples.

Thanks everyone; it has been very educational.

That helped me realize (a,b) != (None, None) is not correct for the function.

It's a case where two parameters have None as the default argument. What I want 
is to make sure that both are not None. I am now considering:

if None not in (a,b):
or
if (a is not None) and (b is not None):

Confused by "format requires a mapping"

[contact . morrison]

Hello,

I'm very new to Python, and unsure how to handle this runtime error
below. Pointers in the right direction (RTFM here ... etc) most
appreciated.

I have an object, called article, that when printed has the following
structure:

{'title': 'wbk', 'entries': [('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=51',
1), ('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=48', 1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=50', 1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=49',1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=45', 1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=44', 1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=43', 1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=42', 1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=41',1),
('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=40',
1)]}('http://wbk.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=51', 1)
DEBUG: Above was a dump of article, prior to "return
unicode("%(title)s"%article)"

As mentioned in the DEBUG output, my code now returns the following
string:

unicode("%(title)s"%article)

However, that appears to conflict with article's structure, and i don't
know why? I'm probably missing something fundamental with Python's
syntax?

TIA
Morrison
