RE: Regular Expression Problem...

You could try the following: regex = re.compile("[\$]\w+", re.IGNORECASE) I've only done a bit of testing. Maybe somebody has a better solution. Cheers!! Dermot. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 December 2004

RE: How did you learn Python?

Hi Shawn, I would recommend the following for starters: - The Tutorial (http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/tut/tut.html) - Python "How to Program" by Deitel After that it is like any language, natural or computer related! Use it! However, I think you'll find that it is a lot easier to use tha

RE: KeyError

Hi "R", The only explanation I can give is that the environment varialbe REMOTE_ADDR does not exist! Wrap your high-level code with try and except. Example: try: tablesDirectory = tablesDirectoryPrefix + os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] except KeyError: # Code to handle the fact tht REMOT_ADDR does

RE: Import trouble

Hi Craig, How about creating your own module that does this in __init__.py. You could create a directory (Eg craig_init) and in that directory create the file __init__.py containing the following code: try: import libxml except: # Blah, blah, blah. A clever bit of code goes here! WARNING: I

RE: Cool object trick

I rather like it! I prefer writing obj.spam to obj["spam"]! I wonder if there is a technical downside to this use of Python? P.S. Certainly makes writing 'print obj.spam, obj.spam, obj.eggs, obj.bacon, obj.sausages, "and", obj.spam' a lot easier ;-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROT

RE: Python mascot proposal

Here are my suggestions: 1. A "larch" (nice play on early Java) 2. Shoebox in middle o' road! (totally meaningless) 3. A Python sitting in a comfy chair (indicating ease-of-use) 4. A "larch" All very Pythonic and non-controversial (unless you're a member of the "Prevention of Cruelty to Shoeboxes

If you want to spend the $35 I can recommend WingIDE. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: 14 December 2004 16:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Python IDE What IDE's do y'all recommend for Python? I'm using PythonWin atm, but I'

RE: AsmL/Python relationship? Anyone using AsmL? What for?

Hi Claudio, If I recall correctly Guido van Rossum (creator/father of Python) did not mention AsmL as being an influence. Also AsmL appears to be more recent (circa .NET epoch) than Python (circa 1991). Hence, I would suggest that the Foundations of Software Engineering group at Microsoft have bo

RE: KeyError

If a default value would be acceptable to the application (which is quite likely), then this would be a much cleaner solution. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roland Heiber Sent: 16 December 2004 10:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Key

Is there a better way of listing Windows shares other than using "os.listdir"

Hi All, I'm currently using "os.listdir" to obtain the contents of some slow Windows shares. I think I've seen another way of doing this using the win32 library but I can't find the example anymore. My main problem with using "os.listdir" is that it hangs my gui application. The tread running th

RE: Is there a better way of listing Windows shares other than us ing "os.listdir"

Hi David, Thanks for the bit of code on finding shares! I'd been using something a bit different (win32com.client stuff) but your code looks better. I've found that "win32file.FindFilesIterator" (suggested to me by another person on this mailing list) allows the gui to remain responsive. Using
