compute the double square...... :(

Double Squares A double-square number is an integer X which can be expressed as the sum of two perfect squares. For example, 10 is a double-square because 10 = 32 + 12. Your task in this problem is, given X, determine the number of ways in which it can be written as the sum of two squares. For exa

list displays

I am a newbie to python. Python supports what I thinks it is called list display, for example: [i for i in range(10)] [i for i in range(10) if i<6] Does anyone know a good documentation for this. I have read the language reference but it is confusing. Olive -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/

If I have an absolute path to a file (i.e. '/home/roy/foo.py'), is there a way to import that as a module WITHOUT modifying sys.path? I'm using Python 2.6. I've read PEP 328, and don't really understand how the absolute imports it's talking about are supposed to work. Should I be using imp.l
