Is there a simple way to call every method of an object from its

For example, given the following class, what would I replace the

Hi all,
I wish to generate a sequence of the form 'aaa', 'aab', aac' 'aba',
'abb', 'abc' etc. all the way to 'zzz'.
How would you construct a generator to acheive this?
A simple, working but somewhat inelegant solution is...
alpha = ['a','b','c','d'] #shortened for brevity
alpha2 = ['a','b'

Hi all,

There are some notes on the pysqlite wiki regarding modification of the

The pyParsing example looks interesting - but for this case, a little

Take a look at www.reportlab.org. The ReportLab library includes a
graphics module that might well do what you need. I'm not sure at
present if it allows one to set alpha-channels to achieve transparency.
Also, if you have access to a mac running OS X 10.4, the Automator

I'll gladly give you a hand. I should point out - I'm no expert. I

So, do I separate out whatever code I want to into .py modules, then

If so, do I need to put these modules somewhere described in the System
