what is wrong with d.clear()?
Hi,
where am i going wrong ?
$ python3
Python 3.2.5 (default, Oct 2 2013, 22:58:11)
[GCC 4.8.1] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> d = {}
>>> import sys
>>> d = sys.modules
>>> type(d)
>>> dir(d)
['__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__', '__doc__',
'__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__',
'__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__le__', '__len__',
'__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__',
'__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__',
'clear', 'copy', 'fromkeys', 'get', 'items', 'keys', 'pop', 'popitem',
'setdefault', 'update', 'values']
>>> d.clear()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
>>> d
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
>>> quit()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Re: what is wrong with d.clear()?
I was unable to find an option to disable HTML mode. Thanks for letting me know how to enable plain text mode. I just followed the steps and hopefully this message is in plain text format.
