I bought the domain PythonAlley.com (and PerlAlley.com and
RubyAlley.com) not too long ago. I had the inspiration to make some
kind of community site thing, but never did get around to it.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what a wonderful use for
PythonAlley.com would be? I'd really like to do som
I second the Python Cookbook recommendation.

Although you're technically correct, I think there's a knee-jerk
anti-regex reaction, citing the meaningless overhead. If you're
running many thousands of records or something then it becomes a small
issue compared to a replace statement or something. But in most cases
it makes no difference at all
Everybody hates regexes. Except me. Discrimination!

Hopefully this will help (using your input file)
#!/usr/bin/env python
import re
buildinfo = "input.txt"
input = open(buildinfo, 'r')
regex = re.compile(r"^\s*build.number=(\d+)\s*$")
for line in input:
if re.search(regex, line):
print line
buildNum = re.sub(r"^\s*build.numbe
Write some code, even if it doesn't quite work, and post it. We'll
help you fix it.
You can open a file with: input = open("file.txt", "r")
You can read a line with: someText = input.readline()
You can loop through an open file like this:
for line in input:
#do something with line
