What you need is
If you really want __setitem__ and not __setattr__, you should change the
base class to 'dict'. Or 'import UserDict' and use that for the base class.

Hi all,
I have a script "myscript.py" located in "/usr/local/bin" on my linux box.
I can execute it in ipython with
run /usr/local/bin/myscript.py
but not with
run myscript.py
even though /usr/local/bin is in my $PATH and in my $PYTHONPATH.
What should I do to correct this?
Best regards,

Dear friends,
I need execute an external program from a gui using PyQt4, to avoid
that hang the main thread, i must connect the signal "finished(int)"
of a QProcess to work properly.
for example, why this program don't work?
from PyQt4.QtCore import QProcess
pro = QProcess() # create QProc
You might check one of many binary encoders (like Avro, Thrift ...).
The other option is to use a database, sqlite3 is pretty fast (if you schema is
fixed). Otherwise you can look at some NoSQL ones (like MongoDB).

Hi Python users,
I have been using try...except statements in the situations where I can expect
a certain type of errors might occur.
But sometimes I don't exactly know the possible error types, or sometimes I
just can't "spell" the error types correctly.
For example,

I'm pretty sure I'd actually read the first 2 links you point to, but the
difference between __setattr__ and __setitem__ still never registered with
me -- perhaps partly because even the discussion of __setattr__ discusses
adding an entry to the "*dictionary* of instance attributes".

If you're that offended then spend the cycles fixing the damn list so it

Your request is nonsensical. pywin32 wraps the Windows API libraries.
Mac OS X is not Windows; it does not implement the Windows API.
