The subject basically says it all, here's the code that's producing the csv file: def write2CSV(self,output): writer = csv.writer(open(output, 'w'), dialect='excel') writer.writerow(['Name','Description','Due Date','Subject', 'Grade','Maximum Grade', se

Ok, so what I'm hearing is "Get a code portfolio together and watch the job board on python.org." Thanks for the advice! I've been watching the python job board 3-4 times a week and I've been working my way through the Project Euler problems in my free time. I also have a trade generator that I wr

Re: Windows command line not displaying print commands

2009-03-31 Thread JonathanB
I think I found the problem. I recently removed Python 2.5 and replaced it with 2.6. When I got in, I tried to run some django commands and even they weren't producing output. On a hunch, I tried to uninstall 2.6 and reinstall it, since now even django wasn't producing output. When I tried, it told

Windows command line not displaying print commands

Ok, I'm sure this is really simple, but I cannot for the life of me get any print statements from any of my python scripts to actually print when I call them from the windows command line. What am I doing wrong? hello.py: print "Hello World!" command line: E:\Python\dev>python hello.py E:\Python

I have a multi-access problem that I'm pretty sure needs to be solved with threading, but I'm not sure how to do it. This will be my first foray into threading, so I'm a little confused by all of the new landscape. So, I'm going to lay out the problem I'm facing and if someone could point me toward

click submit and it will load the changes in. So here is the problem, this means I need to open the same file as both read and write. How do I do this? I'm slowly learning the DOM stuff that I need to know to do this, but this file thing I haven't been able to find anywhere. Jona
