I don't see anything in that output resembling an error, just a few warnings that some features may no be available. Have you tried importing pygame after you did that? That's what'll prove one way or another that it worked. Regards, Nate On Wed, Nov 23, 2016 at 10:48 PM, Cai Gengyang wrote: >

You're attempting to print out control characters most of which have no visible representation. For "\7", at least if you're running from bash, and not in an IDE, you should get an audible bell. All decimal ordinals below 32 are control You can find a list of the symbols here: http://en.cppreferen

You're right. Didn't look closely enough at it in my phone. Still don't think i'd recommend this in a general solution, though. You effectively have to white-list code snippets. Not very useful. On Nov 26, 2016 7:51 PM, "Michael Torrie" wrote: > On 11/26/

Re: Asyncio -- delayed calculation

To be fair, in other languages, such as C# or C++ with similar mechanisms, if you don't ask for the result from an async or future task, there's no guarantee the async task will be executed at all unless (or until) you ask for the result. C++'s futures even give an explicit flag indicating you want

Ifyou're running on Windows 10, at least, you can soon purge that memory. command.com doesn't exist (may never have existed on Win2k, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 or 10). If I try and run either "command" or "command.com" from Win10, both say command cannot be found. IIRC, command.com was a relic of Win9x

OT, but I'm curious, do they explain *why* it's wrong and give an alternative, or just outright deride it as "the wrong way". I ask because I've read similar complaints about the community around systemd, but as it rarely affects me personally, I've never bothered to care. On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 8

One other consideration in regards to globbing in the argument list: there's a static limit to the byte length of argv. On windows, it's 8191 bytes (I'm assuming a null-terminator brings that to 8192, which is a weird 2**13). For Linux, as of kernal 2.6.25, apparently, the limit is 131072 bytes, an
