Re: print time comparison: IDLE versus terminal on ultra 20

On my Ultra 20 box, the test program takes 0.00039982 secs in a terminal window and 0.236839 secs in IDLE, i.e. about 600x slower. This is ActivePython 2.4.3 for Solaris 10 on a 2+ GHz Opteron. A partial explanation for the difference in run time between terminal and IDLE is that IDLE uses thru a

Dive Into Java?

DiveIntoPython.org was the first book I read on python, and I really got a lot out of it. I need to start learning Java (to maintain a project I've inherited), and was wondering if anyone knew of any similar books for Java? Maybe once I know my way around the language, I can sneak Jython in... :-

I am building a file with the help of the struct module. I would like to be able to put Unicode strings into this file, but I'm not sure how to do it. The format I'm trying to write is basically this C structure: struct MyFile { int magic; int flags; short otherFlags; char pad[22];
