Good stuff! Since I'm only interested in spaces being my only whitespace it makes sense for me to use "line.lstrip(whitespace)" in my script, thus eliminating the "elif char == '\n':" statement. Thanks, Jim Tim Chase wrote: > > Hard to believe that lstrip() produces an empty string on lines with >

Subtyping a non-builtin type in C/C++

Hi I am trying to create a subclass of a python class, defined in python, in C++, but I am having some problems. It all boils down to a problem of finding the base class' type object and according to the PEP (253) I would also need to figure out the size of the base class instance structure, but I

sys.maxint gives the largest positive integer supported by Python's regular integer type. But maybe such attribute, with few others (they can be called min and max) can be given to int type itself.
