Re: Python "implements " equivalent?

I don't know how "clean" it is, but there are a few situations in which I do something like this: getattr(obj, "method", default_method)(*original_method_args) The default_method is a base implementation or a simple error handler. For example, when a client hits one of our XMLRPC servers and pass

Re: A question about subprocess

You don't necessarily need the subprocess module to do this, though you could use it. I've done this sort of thing in the past with fork and exec. To serialize the jobs on the machines, the easiest thing is to just send the commands all at once to a given machine, like "command1; command2; comma

Re: pickle and __slots__

I added the following method to the 2 subclasses of asyncore.dispatcher and asynchat.async_chat and now pickle works: def __getstate__(self): return Later I will probably modify this method so it returns something more interesting. Thanks for your help! I was confused because I am not

Import PY file not included in py2exe executable
