Comparing lists

Hi all, anybody can point me to a description of how the default comparison of list objects (or other iterables) works? Apparently l1 < l2 is equivalent to all ( x < y for x,y in zip( l1, l2) ), has is shown in the following tests, but I can't find it described anywhere: >>> [1,2,3] < [1,3,2

How to find info about python 3.x extension module availability?

Hi all, is there any site that reports the current porting (to Python 3.x) status of the main non-standard extension modules (such as pygtk, pywin32, wxpython, ...) ? I think such information would be very useful for people - like me - which are tryiing to decide how/when/if to port existing scrip

Recipes for trace statements inside python programs?

Hi all, as many - I think - python programmers, I find muself debugging my scripts by placing print statements in strategic places rather than using the python debugger, and commenting/uncommenting them according to myy deugging needs. After a time, these prints staements start to evolving in som

Sorry, hit the send button by mistake ... The definition of the trace function should be like: if __debug__ : def TRACE(*args): if trace_enabled(): print "TRACE(%s) : %s " % ( context(), " ".join( str(x) for x in args ) ) else : # optimazed code, only a func

Unexpected behaviour of inner functions/ decorators

Hi all, I found a strange (for me) behaviour of inner function. If I execute the following code: # file in_f.py --- def dec_f(f): def inner_f(): if f.enabled: f() return inner_f @dec_f def funct(): print "Ciao" funct.enabled = True funct() # end of file
