Thanks. At a glance, that looks like it's what I'm looking for. Lowell TechBookReport wrote: > Lowell Kirsh wrote: > >> Is there a module or library anyone knows of that will print html code >> indented? What I'd like would be for a function or class which work

Re: Favorite non-python language trick?

Check out lisp macros. Other languages have macro systems but none compare in power to lisp's. They are so powerful in lisp because lisp is the only language where the source code closely resembles its parse tree (created within the compiler/interpreter). Lowell Joseph Garvin wrote: > As someo

Is there a module or library anyone knows of that will print html code indented? What I'd like would be for a function or class which works like this: htmlIndent(sys.stdout, 'foobar...') and will print somethinkg like this to stdout: foobar ... My current way of doing this ki

reloading my own modules

I have a driver module as well as several other modules. I am running the driver interactively from emacs - that is, I don't restart python on each run. I want to work it such that every time a modify the source for one of the non-driver modules and re-run the driver, the other modules will be

It looks pretty good, but I'll have to take a better look later. Out of curiosity, why did you convert the first spaces to pipes rather than add the code as an attachment? Lowell Christos TZOTZIOY Georgiou wrote: On Wed, 23 Feb 2005 01:56:02 -0800, rumours say that Lowell Kirsh &l

Re: how can I make this script shorter?

Thanks for the advice. There are definitely some performance issues I hadn't thought of before. I guess it's time to go lengthen, not shorten, the script. Lowell John Machin wrote: Lowell Kirsh wrote: I have a script which I use to find all duplicates of files within a given directo

Re: how can I make this script shorter?

Good idea about hashing part of the file before comparing entire files. It will make the script longer but the speed increase will most likely make it worth it. Lowell Christos TZOTZIOY Georgiou wrote: On Tue, 22 Feb 2005 00:34:39 -0800, rumours say that Lowell Kirsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

how can I make this script shorter?

I have a script which I use to find all duplicates of files within a given directory and all its subdirectories. It seems like it's longer than it needs to be but I can't figure out how to shorten it. Perhaps there are some python features or libraries I'm not taking advantage of. The way it wo

I'm not sure I get it. What's the purpose of using a delegate rather than having the object itself supply the return value? Alex Martelli wrote: Lowell Kirsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What might these exceptions be? It's HIGHLY advisable to have your __getattr__ methods

Re: how do i create such a thing?

What might these exceptions be? It's HIGHLY advisable to have your __getattr__ methods raise AttributeError for any requested name that starts and ends with double underscores, possibly with some specific and specifically designed exceptions.

I'm trying to emulate the sorted() method introduced in python 2.4. The only difference is that it takes a sequence as one of its arguments rather than being a method of the sequence class. Does my method do the same as the sorted()? The obvious difference is that my method is called as sort(se
