Sort dictionary

Hi! I have: x = {'a':3, 'b':2, 'c':4} How can I sort x by value? (I tried using sorted() with x.items() - but I didn't get a dictionary as response.) My second question: How can I reduce the dictionary to 2 items (so delete everything after the first two items) Thanks in advance. Best regards

Re: cpu usage limit

Use string in URLs

Hi. I want to use the string "rüffer" in a get-request, so I tried to encode it. My problem: But with urllib.quote I always get "r%FCffer", but I want to get "r%C3%BCffer" (with is correct in my opinion). Thanks. Markus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi! Inside a Python script (I use Python 2.4) several different child processes are created by using os.fork(). My problem: I want only the parent process to print some output and then create the child processes. But even If I use print BEFORE using os.fork, everything that was printed by the pa
