Wrong args and issuing a SIGUSR1 signal

Hi All, I finally put my hands on a GUI-less Linux box and tried the little signal sending experiment. It gives the same! I'm left wondering what is the frame object... Regards, Sorin Schwimmer __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the

Wrong args when issuing a SIGUSR1 signal

Hi All, Say I launch a shell under KDE and start typing: $ python Python 2.4.2 (#10, Feb 16 2006, 17:44:37) [GCC 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7. on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def fn(a=0,b=0): ...

an error in commented code?

That's my output: C wins: ['B', 'D', 'A', 'C'] C wins: ['D', 'B', 'A', 'C'] I'm running Python 2.4.1 under Gentoo Linux. Maybe it's related only to a certain version? Sorin Schwimmer __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam

How to align a text of a Listbox to the right

Eric Brunel is right in that a Listbox won't provide any builtin help for this kind of things. Suppose you can afford a width of 10 chars. Suppose your lines are stored in the variable Lines - a sequence. Suppose you use a font with fixed width (the width occupied by "i" is the same like for "m").

How to align the text of a Listbox to the right

For a listbox, I would give a width and go with string formatting. In your case, I guess that what I'll do is to limit the width to something acceptable, and show only the tail of the line. Say, your width is w, then I'll show only the last w-4 chars, preceded by '... ' (ellipsis+space). It might

Editing a function in-memory and in-place

Generate your function as a string. Be careful to indent correctly and append \n at line's end. Then execute the string with exec(name_of_string). Then edit your string as necessary, and execute again. An example follows, directly from one of my projects: # create a "function" to apply on

parallel computing

Hi All, While working on a project, I discovered lots of little opportunities for real parallelism. For instance, the following class initialization: from pg import DB class example: def __init__(self): # find somehow HOST1, HOST2 self.member1=DB('database1',host=HOST1).query("SELECT..

Suggestion for (re)try statement - correction

"i += 1" is wrong there. I had in my mind at first a "while" statement. Sorry... Sorin __ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.yahoo.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Suggestion for (re)try statement

Hi, I think that would be useful to have an improved version of the "try" statement, as follows: try(retrys=0,timeout=0): # things to try except: # what to do if failed and having the following semantic: for i in range(retrys): try: # things to try except: if i < retrys: i

help with concurrency control (threads/processes & signals)

Hi, I am working on an application which involves interprocess communication. More to the point, processes should be able to notify other processes about certain situations, so the "notifyees" would be able to act in certain ways. As processes are distributed on several machines, in different phy

Upgrading 2.4.1 to 2.4.2

Hi, I have Python 2.4.1 and have downloaded 2.4.2. Is there a way to avoid installing everything and, instead, just upgrade? Thanks, Sorin __ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com -- http://mail.python.o

tk_focusNext() revisited

Hello, I am trying to move focus between Tkinter (and other) widgets. A solution similar with my approach was suggested by Eric Brunel at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-July/229971.html It will generate an error: Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last):
