it *is* a string.
because most of the characters are not printable, they're presented using hex
notation when you repr() the string. That's what entering an expression in the
interactive interpreter does (except that it never prints 'None').

By using that kind of construct, instead of using update_idletasks(),
you force all code to be aware of and manage the app.busy
Here's one case where it's bad to call update.
def perform_longrunning_calculation():
time.sleep(1)
app.update()
time.sleep(1)
suppose you kick this off with a keybinding, such as:
app.bind("c", lambda e: perform_longrunning_calculat
Use sys.stdout.write instead of print. It will solve these problems you are
having.
If you really want to know what's going on, read the language manual,

Compared to your program, I think the key to mine is to divide by "limit"
before taking the log. In this way, things below the "limit" go to the next
lower integer.
I think that instead of having 'step' and 'base', there should be a single
value which would be 1000 or 1024.

You can index into a string:
>>> s = '06897'
>>> s[2]
'8'
You can also turn each character into an integer, in various ways:
>>> [int(c) for c in s]
[0, 6, 8, 9, 7]
>>> map(int, s)
[0, 6, 8, 9, 7]

Oops!
I should have used '2' in the example, or some other number.
I was trying to make a point about what
x *= ...
means when it is in the context of a function (or method) body.
I think this is key to understanding what Python did in the case the user
posted.
Being rude wasn't my inte
For the same reason that
def f(z):
z *= z
c = 1
f(c)
print c
prints 1.

Probably the quoting of the argument to grep.
try this instead:
> p1 = Popen(['grep', 'Sep 22', '/var/log/auth.log'], stdout=PIPE)
etc

I generated a ~22-megabyte file with this small Python program:
print "["
for i in xrange(200):
print "'" + str(i) + "', "
print "]"
As the original poster suggested, Python uses at least several hundreds
of megabytes when execfile()ing that source. I had t
The 'code' module contains 'Utilities needed to emulate Python's interactive
interpreter.'. By subclassing code.InteractiveConsole and replacing the
raw_input method with one which reads from a file, I think you can get what you
want.
The example below the classes uses StringIO so that it can be

Oops, that's what I get for snipping a part of a larger program.
SEEK_SET = 0
SEEK_END = 2

Perhaps you mean to use the function socket.gethostbyname instead.
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyaddr("www.google.ca")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in ?
socket.herror: (1, 'Unknown host')
