Re: Can I rely on...

Thank you everybody for the informative replies. I'll have to comb my code for all the instances of "item in sequence" statement because I suspect some of them are as unsafe as my first example. Oh well. One more lesson learned. Thank you again. Manu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/py

Re: converting pipe delimited file to fixed width

Caveat: none of the solutions (including mine) deal with the case of the field being longer than the width. You might want to throw an exception. Alternatively, you can just crop the results. Tweaking MRAB's elegant solution: field_widths = [14, 6, 18, 21, 21, 4, 6] infile = open("input.

Parallel processing on shared data structures

I'm filing 160 million data points into a set of bins based on their position. At the moment, this takes just over an hour using interval trees. I would like to parallelise this to take advantage of my quad core machine. I have some experience of Parallel Python, but PP seems to only really work fo
