Re: Python interpreter speed

compiled, exactly like Java. There is also IronPython, which is Python for the .NET framework. It compiles to a different intermediate language, which is also compiled at execution time to machine code. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: generating random tuples in python

umbers strictly between 0 and 1 (inclusive)? In doing so, you will be making the numbers non-random. Statistically speaking, a sufficiently long series of random numbers will often have short sequences that are very close to each other. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelhe

Re: http web fetch question

every hour for >10 hours straight... Really? s = sched.scheduler( time.time, time.sleep ) for hour in range(10): s.enter( 3600 * hour, 1, fetch_website, () ) s.run() >and why this is different than using something like time.sleep(). It's not different. sched.sche

Re: ISO exemplary Python scripts

installed with your interpreter is one of the best repositories. It contains hundreds of working, well-tested scripts, most of which have the ability to run by themselves. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: ISO exemplary Python scripts

the "Python way of thinking". Command-line argument processing is not a particularly unique task, so the same techniques that work for parsing things from files, or for handling arguments in a list, work equally well for handling arguments, especially with the help of getopt and optparse. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
