My name is Sathyaish. I am a software engineer.
Last year, i.e. in 2011, I wanted to do some theater. No one took me,
so I announced that I would start my own group. I wrote a script.
Then, I wrote a screen play from that. Now, I am almost ready to begin
the auditions.
The play will be a comedy
>But what's got that to do with it? Strings are very mutable in C.
I realized after posting that I'd said something incorrect again. The
concept of "mutability" itself is a high-level concept compared to C.
Memory allocation for strings is expensive because of the way malloc()
works to find a "bes
And that the "extra-memory" operation I've given above is expensive, I
believe. Is there an efficient way to do it?

How would you reverse a string "in place" in python? I am seeing that
there are a lot of operations around higher level data structures and
less emphasis on primitive data. I am a little lost and can't find my
way through seeing a rev() or a reverse() or a strRev() function around
a string object.
Thanks for the encouragement, Steve. I am learning Python out of
earnest; I am intrigued by several languages such as Ruby, Python and
Lisp.
At work, I program VB6 (used to), VB.NET, C# and C over the Win32
platform.
> that Sathyaish's time is more important than your time, of course.
LOL. Cer
Thanks very much for helping out, Christopher.

Thanks, Peter. I do use the interpreter alongside while reading the
documentation and also try out the examples. It was just a matter of
chance that for this particular situation, I did not.
Thank you for the answers, everyone. I hope I am still welcome here for
more questions.

OK, I get it. Just stop whining endlessly about it, guys. I *do* use
the interpreter. I posted a question here. Sorry, I committed a sin.

No, it isn't because you continue reading the same stuff and you have

John,
I did "guess" but I wasn't quite sure and so I asked. OK, I did not
perform a search on the docs, but that was because:
1) It is easier to learn through an interactive medium like a forum;
and
2) A search in the same document you are reading takes you "off" and
"adrift", and as such, is eq
Thanks, Alex.

I) What does the following expression evaluate to?
a < b == c
1) (a < b) and (b == c)
2) (a < b) or (b == c)
II) How many operands can be chained for comparison in a single
expression? For e.g, is the under-stated expression a valid comparison
chain?
a < b == c > d

I tried it on the interpreter and it looks like it is the "to the power
of" operator symbol/function. Can you please point me to the formal
definition of this operator in the docs?

In the example below from the python docs
(http://docs.python.org/tut/node7.html#SECTION00714), I
am not able to understand the ** operator in the following expression:
>>> [(x, x**2) for x in vec]
I understand the list comprehension as a whole but have forgotten the
** operator's
I recall now, the shells in Unix - a child inherited the variables
declared in its parent but not vice-versa. It works the same way in
DOS. So, I wasn't seeing it clearly earlier. I am seeing it clearly
now. I was imagining that the PYTHONPATH had some default value on
installation and was expectin
Thanks for the replies.
I am trying to have a startup file execute everytime I launch the
interpreter. So, for a test, I wrote a small file I called
"Sathyaish.py". The contents of the file were simply:
# ! This is my new start-up file.
print "Sathyaish is the best."
Then
In which physical file are the python environmental variables located?
I know I can access them using the:
os.environ.get('PYTHONSTARTUP')
or
os.environ.get('PYTHONPATH')
to get their values. But out of the program, if I need to look at them
and alter their values, where do I find them? Are t
Thanks, guys.

My question will sound daft to the good old craftsmen, but they will
excuse my nescience on the subject. I come new to the Pythonic world
from the land of .NET languages, VB6 and some familiarity in C and C++.
I just read about wxWindows last night. From my understanding, it is a
