Re: Optimize function similiar to dict.update() but adds common values

OK, I ran Peter's add_freq3 and it ran four times on really large dictionaries in about 3000 seconds. So I'd say that at a minimum that's ten times faster than my original function since it ran all last night and didn't finish. Much obliged, Peter! -Greg On 12/14/05, Gregory Piñero <[EMAIL PRO

I've often found the Linux world to be like falling off a log,specifically, a log above a deep chasm with sharp rocksat the bottom :-)Linux has its place (though I tended to use FreeBSD more),but it's been several years since I've wanted to actually knowhow to manage my own system. I'd suggest that

If the amount of time it saved me justified it, I wouldn't hesitate to spend250 pounds.

Self-awareness of imported modules? Do they know where they live?

Hi, I have the following question: How can an imported module see/find the path to itself? Background: From my main script I import a module which needs a file (AppleScript) located in the same directory as the imported module. What I do not want is to tell the module the location of the AppleScr
