Hi. I just started learning python.

In the exercise in my book, it asks me to try print "%u" % (-5)

I'm wondering what this %u mean?

Thank you.

infinite loop executed in emacs

2006-06-10 Thread yaru22
Hi.

I'm using python-mode in emacs.

I happened to execute the code that contains an infinite loop.

The system is hung and it doesn't stop at all. lol

How do I manually stop it in emacs?

For Eclipse, in java programming, if i happen to fall into an infinite
loop, i could juse press ctrl+c to stop it.

What keys do I have to press in emacs?

debugging in eclipse+pydev

2006-06-18 Thread yaru22
Hi.

I'd like to know how to debug in eclipse+pydev.

In the menu, "Pydev Debug", there's Start Debug Server option, but I
don't know how to use it.

Few questions I have about debugging are:

1) how do i set a breakpoints in pydev?
2) how do i execute the code line by line? I mean... step into, step
over, and so on...

When I searched on http://www.fabioz.com/pydev/,

I found that

Run/Debug   Step Into   F5  Debugging
Run/Debug   Step Over   F6  Debugging
Run/Debug   Step Return F7  Debugging
Run/Debug   Resume  F8  Debugging

However, Starting Debug Server and pressing F5, F6, F7 didn't do those
functions.

Can anyone give me a small tutorial as to how to debug in Eclipse +
Pydev please?

Thanks in advance.

a question about "return"

2006-07-03 Thread yaru22
In one of the examples in the book I'm reading, it says:

def __init__(self):
...
...
...
return

It has nothing after "return". I expected it to have some number like 0
or 1.

What does it mean to have nothing after return?

Why do we even include "return" if we are not putting any value after?

Thanks :)

Regards,

Brian

What does mod_python.publisher handler do?

2006-09-03 Thread yaru22
I was reading Chapter 6.1 in mod_python manual at www.python.org.

The manual simply says:

The publisher handler is a good way to avoid writing your own handlers
and focus on rapid application development.

I still don't understand what this publisher handler is for.

Can someone elaborate the above phrase with some examples please?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Brian

Python program that validates an url against w3c markup validator

2006-11-28 Thread yaru22
I'd like to create a program that validates bunch of urls against the
w3c markup validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and store the result in
a file.

Since I don't know network programming, I have no idea how to start
coding this program.

I was looking at the python library and thought urllib or urllib2 may
be used to make this program work.

But I don't know how to send my urls to the w3c validator and get the
result.

Can anyone help me with this? or at least give me a hint?

Thank you so much.
