Python evolution: Unease

Please ignore if you are allergic to ramblings :-) Despite a puritan streak I've always tried to refrain from language wars or syntax bickering; call it enforced pragmatism. That's the main reason why I've liked Python: it's elegant and simple and still dynamic and flexible. You could do worse f

Using ICL to compile C extensions

Hi, Does anyone know how I can use "icl" (Intel C++) to compile C extensions? I'm on Windows, and my Python is compiled using VS7.1 (binary distribution). Right now, when I run setup.py install, it uses cl.exe (MSVC++ Toolkit 2003), and I would like to use icl because MSVC++ 2003 does not support

Re: Howto Extract PNG from binary file @ 0x80?

Don't seek to position 97. Seek to 96. You're off by one. That's why there's the test for the header (which you removed). Files (and Python strings for that matter) are 0-indexed. The first character is 0, the second 1, and so on. If you want the 97th character, you have to seek to position 96.
