Re: A question about subprocess

2007-10-04 Thread Dan Stromberg
You don't necessarily need the subprocess module to do this, though you could use it. I've done this sort of thing in the past with fork and exec. To serialize the jobs on the machines, the easiest thing is to just send the commands all at once to a given machine, like "command1; command2; comma

Re: Python "implements " equivalent?

2007-10-04 Thread Jeff McNeil
I don't know how "clean" it is, but there are a few situations in which I do something like this: getattr(obj, "method", default_method)(*original_method_args) The default_method is a base implementation or a simple error handler. For example, when a client hits one of our XMLRPC servers and pass

Don't understand module search path...

I think I don't understand how the module search path works... Let's say I have a folders called 'test'. Underneath it, I create two more folders called 'foo' and 'bar'. In 'foo', I create an empty '__init__.py' file, indicating that this folder is a package 'foo'. I then create a simple python
