Re: missing pydoc gui

(I know replying to self is a sure sign of aging :-) A quick update: after installing the 'tkinter' fedora package (still in live-cd mode), the following 3 lines script does what "pydoc -g " should: import Tkinter import pydoc pydoc.gui() HTH, Bernard. -- http://mail.python.org/m

Re: missing pydoc gui

I see what you mean, having started my fedora8-live image under virtualbox. -g support is apparently not there with this distribution, oddly enough. Perhaps you should post your question on a fedora support forum. Under the live cd (hence probably with a smaller selection of available packages tha

Re: missing pydoc gui

FWIW I am using 2.4.4 under debian etch and 2.5.1 under windows XP, and pydoc seems to support the -[pgkw] flags under both versions. When trying -g under debian, I am getting a stack-trace and a message inviting me to install the python-tk package. Does "pydoc -g" provide any feedback on your ins

Re: missing pydoc gui

Hi Jim, I guess you're missing tk and its tkinter python wrapper. Sorry I don't know what the corresponding packages would be called under fedora... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: cx_oracle

Hi Lukas, you will need a working oracle OCI client middleware before cx_oracle can talk to your database. The easiest nowadays is the so-called instant client, which must be available from the otn.oracle.com site (downloads might require a free registration). Try to get sql*plus working (the stan

handling secure attachments in email messages

Hello, We have a processing chain automatically handling email attachments in python, which works well. We'd like to add support for encrypted files. We're using python 2.3 on HP-UX. I've checked the online 2.5 documentation, and my understanding is that the standard library still only has support

Re: cx_Oracle and NCLOBs

Sorry I have no direct answer for you, but suspect you should post to the cx_Oracle group. Check the sourceforge project page. It is also conveniently mirrored at news.gmane.org. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

mail attachment with non-ascii name

I am using the "email" module to decode incoming messages. (with msg = email.message_from_file( msg_file )) Sometimes an attachment has its name (as returned by msg.walk().part.get_filename()) not in ASCII (e.g. '=?iso-8859-1?q?somefile=2ezip?=') How can I turn that into simply 'somefile.zip' ?

Re: import cx_Oracle fails!

Hi Daniel, is your processor Itanium or PA? I am having a hard time getting cx_oracle (4.1) and python (2.3.5) to cooperate on an HP-UX 11.23 server (I see you're running 11.11). I can compile both packages with gcc 3.4.3 either in 32-bit (apparently the default) or 64-bit (-mlp64 gcc flag) but p

python 2.3 + cx_oracle on HP-UX Itanium

Hello, because we are migrating to an Itanium HP-UX server, I will shortly need to compile python 2.3 and cx_oracle on that platform. I seem to recall people having problem compiling python on HP-UX in general, and am interested in opinions about which compiler to use. Should I require the HP comp

We're so satisfied with cx_Oracle (HP-UX & Win32) that we have not even bothered checking the other ones. Highly recommended. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: float default formatting

Are you trying to do currency? There are better ways, using the locale methods. No, just dumping some data structures and I'd rather not check every item's type and format floats explicitly. I was hoping the sprintf mask float's __str__ probably uses was somehow exposed and could be altered. -- ht

float default formatting

Is there a simple way to modify the default sprintf mask used for floats ? (eg something like sys.float_mask = '%.2f') I've tried assigning to float.__dict__[ '__str__' ], but that's apparently not allowed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
