Help with python-list archives
Hi. I am new to python and wanted to search the python-list archives for answers to my many questions but i can't seem to get the archive files to uncompressed? What gives? From what i understand they are gzip files so i assumed the gzip module would work, but no! The best i could do was to get a ton of chinese chars using gzip and zlib.uncompress(). I would like to be courteous and search for my answers before asking so as not to waste anyones time. Does anyone know how to uncompress these files into a readable text form? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That works but i would like to do some regexes and set up some
defaults.

Sure. Take the most recent file as example. "2012 - January.txt.gz".
If you use the python doc example this is the result. If i use "r" or
"rb" the result is the same.
>>> import gzip
>>> f1 = gzip.open('C:\\2012-January.txt.gz', 'rb')
>>> data = f1.read()
>>> data[:100]
'\x1f\x8b\x08\x08x\n\x05O\x02\xff/srv/mailman/archives/private/python-
list/2012-January.txt\x00\xec\xbdy\x7f\xdb\xc6\xb50\xfcw\xf0)\xa6z|+
\xaa!!l\xdc\x14[\x8b-;V\xe2-\x92\x12'
>>> f2 = gzip.open('C:\\2012-January.txt.gz', 'r')
>>> data = f2.read()
>>> data[:100]
'\x1f\x8b\x08\x08x\n\x05O\x02\xff/srv/mailman/archives/private/python-
list/2012-January.txt\x00\xec\xbdy\x7f\xdb\xc6\xb50\xfcw\xf0)\xa6z|+
\xaa!!l\xdc\x14[\x8b-;V\xe2-\x92\x12'
The docs and google provide no clear answer. I even tried 7zip and
ended up with nothing but gibberish characters. There must be levels
of compression or something. Why could they not simply use the tar
format? Is there anywhere else one can download the archives?

Just to be thorough I tried to uncompress using both python 2.x and 3.x and the results are unreadable text files in both cases. I have no idea what the problem could be. Especially without some way to compare my files to the gunzip'ed files on a linux machine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks. THis works however there is one more tiny hiccup. The text has lost all significant indention and newlines.

Notepad was the problem. After using a real editor the text is displayed correctly! Thanks for help everyone!

Tkinter Toplevel sizing issue (using a grid)
Hello all, Hi this i my first post here. I would like to create a tkinter toplevel window with a custom resize action based on a grid. From the Tk docs it say you can do this but for the life of me i cannot figure out how? In my app i wish for the main window to only resize in 20 pixel "jumps" (if you will). I have tried using the toplevel.grid() and setgrid option and no luck! ## here is the tk doc page about setGrid http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkLib/SetGrid.htm ## here is the Tkinter method from wm class def wm_grid(self, baseWidth=None, baseHeight=None, widthInc=None, heightInc=None): """Instruct the window manager that this widget shall only be resized on grid boundaries. WIDTHINC and HEIGHTINC are the width and height of a grid unit in pixels. BASEWIDTH and BASEHEIGHT are the number of grid units requested in Tk_GeometryRequest.""" return self._getints(self.tk.call( 'wm', 'grid', self._w, baseWidth, baseHeight, widthInc, heightInc)) grid = wm_grid ## Here is my code. from Tkinter import * class TopWin(Tk): def __init__(self): Tk.__init__(self)#, setgrid=1) #self.maxsize(width=50, height=50) #self.minsize(width=1, height=1) self.grid(10, 10, 20, 20) topwin = TopWin() topwin.mainloop() Please help.
