Thank you all. Roy Smith gets the most thanks, though he didn't answer my general question -- he showed me how to look at that specific structure differently. Terry Reedy might get thanks for her idea if I can ever figure the correct escape sequences that will make both windows and the Python i

'indent'ing Python in windows bat

Hello, I'm essentially a newbie in Python. My problem in searching the archives is not knowing what words to use to ask. I'm converting windows bat files little by little to Python 3 as I find time and learn Python. The most efficient method for some lines is to call Python like: python -c "i

If I wish to delete 2.3.4, I have to rm -r the appropriate directories. Any caveats? Is there any crosstalk between 2.2.2 and 2.4 modules?
