SMB Authentication Module

This may be a simple question to answer, but is there any module that will let you authenticate against a SMB server?  An equivalent package in perl would be the Authen::SMB.  That is the realms of what I am looking for, but in Python. -Derek Perriero-- Perriero, Derek[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://

Re: 2d array slicing problem

Do you have a simple program that demonstrates the problem? I have an x86 machine with Python 2.3, and an x86_64 machine with Python 2.4 available. I wrote a simple test program which performs a slice operation, but it behaves the same on both platforms. Here's the program: #

Re: Why do I get an import error on this?

I did "which python" and the two paths were different. Once I fixed the path in the script, it worked fine. Thanks Frederik and Micah! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Continuous system simulation in Python

Nicholas, Have you looked at Octave? It is not Python, but I believe it can talk to Python. Octave is comparable to Matlab for many things, including having ODE solvers. I have successfully used it to model and simulate simple systems. Complex system would be easy to model as well, provided that y
