Much more compact and yet much more readable code, making it easier to
maintain and extend your programs.

Just use the .pyw extension instead of .py, and the DOS box
automagically disappears -- or so I have been told ...

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

I found out of it, sort of. Now I've got a PYTHONPATH that points to my
home directory, and followed your instructions. The first time I got

Uh ... it doesn't seem like I've got PYTHONPATH defined on my system in
the first place:

I'm developing a routine that will parse user input. For simplicity, I'm
converting the entire input string to upper case. One of the words that
will have special meaning for the parser is the word "før", (before in
English). However, this word is not recognized. A test in the

I'm working with a Python program to insert / update textual data into a
PostgreSQL database. The text has single and double quotes in it, and I
wonder: What is the easiest way to escape quotes in Python, similar to
the Perlism "$str =~ s/(['"])/\\$1/g;"?
I tried the re.escape() method, but it esc

got what it takes.

I'm playing a little with curses (okay, call me a masochist) and have
found a small gotcha. When I do eg. a screen = stdscr.subwin(10,20,0,0)
and then a screen.border(), I end up with an ugly border where the
right side is seriously misaligned.
I've figured out the reason: I love the Terminal DEC
