for: else: - any practical uses for the else clause?

2006-09-26 Thread metaperl . etc
A very old thread: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/2c5022e2b7f05525/1542d2041257c47e?lnk=gst&q=for+else&rnum=9#1542d2041257c47e discusses the optional "else:" clause of the for statement. I'm wondering if anyone has ever found a practical use for the else branch?

Finding the file referred to in a Python traceback

2006-09-26 Thread metaperl . etc
In this traceback, the path to 3 different SQL Alchemy source files is a relative directory. However, no such directory is below my current working directory. This is problematic for two reasons: 1 - I cannot use XEmacs find-file-at-point to find the file in which the error is occurring 2 - I am n

Re: One program in different GUI Toolkits

2006-09-24 Thread metaperl . etc
Actually due to lack of documentation and feedback from the mailing list, I am fallen out of love with Pythoncard and in love with Kiwi/Pygtk. Given the large groundswell support for pygtk, i dont think I will be disappointed. PyQT looks ultra-slick, but the commercial nature of QT and the design

Converting a varargs tuple to a list - a definite pitfall for new comers to Python

The following program does not work if you uncomment #lis = ["xmms2"] + list(args) Evidently Python is opting for the nullary constructor list() as opposed to the other one which takes a sequence. But no newcomer would know this. And the Python docs dont give a good example of dealing with tak

Re: OS X and Python - wxPython has forced a rehash of my approach

2006-09-04 Thread metaperl . etc
One other thing: the mac os x built at python.org (http://www.python.org/download/) does not state whether it is a Framework build or not. I'm guessing it isn't. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

OS X and Python - wxPython has forced a rehash of my approach

Earlier I asked about how people installed Python on OS X, given that one can choose from Xcode, Fink, Darwin, ActiveState and source builds: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/5c4cde4206d1fbb7/37de06a6bb6b2361?lnk=gst&q=OS+X+and+Python+-+what+is+your+install+stra
