I have two methods for writing binaries files: the first works with
data received by a server corresponding to a file upload, and the
second works with data sent as email attachments.
The odd thing is, they're not interchangeable: if I use the first one
to saved data parsed from an email attachmen

This is the function which scans the message for attachments:

It was the former.

For the record, and in case anyone else runs into this particular
problem, here's how resolved it.
My original xml_utils.py was written this way:
from xml.dom import minidom
def parse_item_attribute (item, attribute_name):
item_doc = minidom.parseString(item)
...
That version worked und

You are correct.
As per the earlier advice, I switched from mod_python to mod_wsgi but
I still see the same error:
[Mon May 11 10:30:21 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_wsgi/2.4
Python/2.5.2 configured -- resuming no
I wrote a python script called xml_utils.py which parses xml using
minidom.
It works when it's run on its own, but when I try to import it and run
it inside a mod_python handler, I get this error:
File "../common/xml_utils.py", line 80, in parse_item_attribute

I was just following the terminology used in "A Byte of
Python" (which, that particular point aside, is a very good tutorial).

Thanks!

I wrote this function to retrieve a list of items from a dictionary.
The first time it was called, it worked properly.
But every subsequent call returned the results of the prior call, plus
the results of the current call.
I was confused until I read in the docs that default arguments are

I'm using the feedparser library to extract data from rss feed items.
After I wrote this function, which returns a list of item titles, I
noticed that most item attributes would be retrieved the same way,
i.e., the function would look exactly the same, except for the single
data.append line inside

Ah, thanks, these are the syntax examples I was looking for.

I come
I have some old Common Lisp functions I'd like to rewrite in Python
(I'm still new to Python), and one thing I miss is not having to
declare local variables.
For example, I have this Lisp function:
(defun random-char ()
"Generate a random char from one of [0-9][a-z][A-Z]"
(if (< 50 (random 10
If I define a dictionary where one or more of the values is also a
dictionary, e.g.:
my_dict={"a":"string", "b":"string", "c":{"x":"0","y":"1"},
"d":"string"}
How can I use the output of type() so I can do one thing if the value
is a string, and another if the value is a dictionary?
i.e., I'd li
