I made this the first time I mangled some code because pychecker said
some modules were not used when they really were. The module wasn't
that complex, only 302 lines, but it got it wrong.

Be sure and use mode = P instead of RGB, like you have in your other
code. P is for palettized images. Don't palettize if you're storing as
JPG, only if you're storing as PNG or some other format that can handle
256 color images.

Thanks! It's interesting, and nearly what I want, but not quite there.
When I run my sample code through it, I get a syntax error because it's
not a valid expression. If I were to put a 'dict(' in front and a ')'
at the end, THEN it nearly works - but it gives me an
'Unsafe_Source_Error: Line 1.
#x27;,
'type': 'Label', 'fmtline': '@VALUE @SIGNAL'}
I've got a home-rolled routine that was 'good enough', until I added
the list of tuples in there. Now it's failing. I have a hack to
'special case' it, but you know that will come up to bite me in the
future.
Does anyone have a thought on how I can turn what are basically
function keyword arguments in string form, to a dict, without using
exec or eval?

I have been programming in Python for years, and I'm STILL learning new
features about the language.
I'm looking for the best way to handle events with my own UI developed
in PyGame, and I've programmed up 4 ways to do it so far, and have a
couple more waiting to be done! Python is so amazingly fl

SIZE = (300, 200)
WHITE = (255, 255, 255)

palette = tuple([(i, i, i) for i in range(256)])
pic.set_palette(palette)
# Fill it with a gradient

The following will return a dictionary containing the names and
functions of all the public functions in the current module. If a

listed.

I have a code snippet here that prints a dict in an arbitrary order.
(Certain keys first, with rest appearing in sorted order). I didn't
want to subclass dict, that's error-prone, and overkill for my needs. I
just need something that returns a value like dict.__str__, with a key
ordering I specify.
Does anyone know how to automatically zoom the Idle window when you
start it up? I've tried passing command line parameters, adding code to
PyShell, and more, to no effect.
I suspect the following will be necessary, but I don't know where to
put it:
import ZoomHeight
ZoomHeight.zoom_height(root)
If you wanted to avoid the __getattr__ __setattr__ speed hit, something
like this would work. However, you have to not mind calling a function
to get the data, instead of only getting the attribute:
class Cache(object):
_cache = {}
def __init__(self, filename):
self.filename = file
e 'loadimage' routine to run again the next
time the picture is referenced.
Good job!

Yeah, I have a system like that on my product. It's a data file loaded
at code startup time, which results in a UI - no need to cut code to
change the interface. It's saved me a lot of time.
I also have a problem with 'designers'. If the GUI designer is as easy

You might find this interesting. Note that the object creation in

I'm trying to pack two characters into a single byte, and the shifting
in Python has me confused.
Essentially, it should be possible to use a 'packed string' format in
Python, where as long as the characters you're sending are in the ASCII
range 0 to 127, two will fit in a byte.
Here's the code.
To avoid pathname headaches, I've taken to including the following 3
lines at the top of every script that will be double-clicked:
import os, sys
pathname, scriptname = os.path.split(sys.argv[0])
pathname = os.path.abspath(pathname)

I see what you're attempting to do. However, your code, if it DID run,
would result in a method being added to the object, not the object's
class! Modify the class itself, not the object, as follows:
|class Test:
|def __init__(self):
|self.method()
|
|def m(self):
|print self
|
|se
This script works. But why not make a 'Favorite Search' in ebay, and
have it send you daily email for a year?

Uh, you're right! I wouldn't want to bog Python down with even more

typically done only with compiled languages.

checking, I find I have to test supporting r
Yeah, but still. If they even had the most basic check, like 'an object
is being referred to on this line, but you're not doing anything with

usually you're doing something with it, like assigning it to a variable.

Is there a more elegant way to change the working directory of Python

This is what I have. It seems like it could be shorter, somehow.
