Capturing errors raised by other scripts ?

2010-02-19 Thread northof40
I'm using the subroutine module to run run python script A.py from B.py (this is on windows fwiw). A.py is not my script and it may raise arbitary errors before exiting. How can I determine what's happened before A.py exited ? To simulate this I've got this script (which is meant to simulate A.py

How to timeout when waiting for raw_input from user ?

Hi - I'm writing a *very* simple program for my kids. It asks the user to give it the answer to a maths question and says "right" or "wrong" They now want a timed version where they would only get so long to respond to the question. I'm thinking of some logic where a raw_input call is executed an

Python 2.6 in shared/VPS environment

2009-07-31 Thread northof40
Hi - I'd really like to have access to Python 2.6 to try something out. It needs to be on Linux/Unix machine. I don't mind paying but whichever way I turn I find Python 2.4 is the standard installation. Anyone know of anyone who offers this out of the box ? Or got any smart way of achieving it ?
