Re: Python Script Creator/Generator (function factory)

I forgot to mention, I'm using Python 2.5.x. I can't use Python 3 unfortunately, the 3rd party application uses Py2.5.x internally, so I have to limit the functionality to that version. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Well I hate it when this happens. I ask a question, and literally 2 seconds later I bump into the answer. This explains it a bit: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#bit-string-operations-on-integer-types -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Vertical line in function arguments

There is this peace of code in a 3rd party module: MidiIn.SetFilter(pypm.FILT_ACTIVE | pypm.FILT_CLOCK | pypm.FILT_PITCHBEND | pypm.FILT_NOTE) What are the vertical lines in a function call such as this? This actually calls a function from a Pyrex module that was compiled int

Re: Have you embraced Python 3.x yet?

I use both, really. I started by learning and using Python 3, but I ended up using Python 2 much more often compared to Py3. Not because of the functionality of the language, but because most software that embeds Python or is extendable in some way is usually using Python 2. + There's the whole lib

Traversing through Dir()

I would like to traverse through the entire structure of dir(), and write it to a file. Now, if I try to write the contents of dir() to a file (via pickle), I only get the top layer. So even if there are lists within the returned list from dir(), they get written as a list of strings to the file.

Re: Awful book warning: How to think like a (Python) programmer - non-working examples

The book covers Python 2.x syntax. You might have downloaded Python 3.1, which has different syntax then Python 2.x. From what I can tell, the first example on page 7 is ">>> print 1 + 1". Try issuing this command: print(1 + 1) If everything goes well, and you get '2' as the answer, then you're

Changing tab behavior in Python Interactive mode

I've noticed that when running Python in interactive mode (via cmd on windows), the first time I hit tab it will move 4 spaces to the right, however each new tab will move 8 spaces instead of 4. Why this inconsistent behavior? And how could I change this to be consistent and always move only 4 spac
