RE: Is there a better way of listing Windows shares other than us ing "os.listdir"

Hi David, Thanks for the bit of code on finding shares! I'd been using something a bit different (win32com.client stuff) but your code looks better. I've found that "win32file.FindFilesIterator" (suggested to me by another person on this mailing list) allows the gui to remain responsive. Using

Hi Tim, That does the trick! Now my gui remains responsive during the long search time. Thanks! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Golden Sent: 30 December 2004 10:54 To: python-list@python.org Subject: RE: Is there a better way of lis

Is there a better way of listing Windows shares other than using "os.listdir"

Hi All, I'm currently using "os.listdir" to obtain the contents of some slow Windows shares. I think I've seen another way of doing this using the win32 library but I can't find the example anymore. My main problem with using "os.listdir" is that it hangs my gui application. The tread running th

RE: Cool object trick

I rather like it! I prefer writing obj.spam to obj["spam"]! I wonder if there is a technical downside to this use of Python? P.S. Certainly makes writing 'print obj.spam, obj.spam, obj.eggs, obj.bacon, obj.sausages, "and", obj.spam' a lot easier ;-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROT

RE: KeyError

If a default value would be acceptable to the application (which is quite likely), then this would be a much cleaner solution. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roland Heiber Sent: 16 December 2004 10:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Key

RE: AsmL/Python relationship? Anyone using AsmL? What for?

Hi Claudio, If I recall correctly Guido van Rossum (creator/father of Python) did not mention AsmL as being an influence. Also AsmL appears to be more recent (circa .NET epoch) than Python (circa 1991). Hence, I would suggest that the Foundations of Software Engineering group at Microsoft have bo

RE: Import trouble

Hi Craig, How about creating your own module that does this in __init__.py. You could create a directory (Eg craig_init) and in that directory create the file __init__.py containing the following code: try: import libxml except: # Blah, blah, blah. A clever bit of code goes here! WARNING: I

RE: KeyError

Hi "R", The only explanation I can give is that the environment varialbe REMOTE_ADDR does not exist! Wrap your high-level code with try and except. Example: try: tablesDirectory = tablesDirectoryPrefix + os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] except KeyError: # Code to handle the fact tht REMOT_ADDR does

Here are my suggestions: 1. A "larch" (nice play on early Java) 2. Shoebox in middle o' road! (totally meaningless) 3. A Python sitting in a comfy chair (indicating ease-of-use) 4. A "larch" All very Pythonic and non-controversial (unless you're a member of the "Prevention of Cruelty to Shoeboxes

RE: How did you learn Python?

Hi Shawn, I would recommend the following for starters: - The Tutorial (http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/tut/tut.html) - Python "How to Program" by Deitel After that it is like any language, natural or computer related! Use it! However, I think you'll find that it is a lot easier to use tha

You could try the following: regex = re.compile("[\$]\w+", re.IGNORECASE) I've only done a bit of testing. Maybe somebody has a better solution. Cheers!! Dermot. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 December 2004
