List comprehension for testing **params

x27;t work. It doesn't find anythin wrong if remove, say msg, from **md. I thought it should because I believed that this list comprehension would check that every keyword in required would have a match in params.keys. Could you explain why it doesn't work and do you have any idea of how it could work ? Thanks in advance :) Cheers, Cantabile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: List comprehension for testing **params

Thanks everyone for your answers. That's much clearer now. I see that I was somehow fighting python instead of using it. Lesson learned (for the time being at least) :) I'll probably get back with more questions... Cheers, Cantabile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Wow, lots of things I had never heard of in your posts. I guess I need to do some homework... Cantabile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Pattern question

Hi, I'm trying to write a small installer for a server. But this program should be able to run in the future under heterogenous environments and os (at least linux/windows). I mean, the install will be done either in text mode or curses or gtk or tk, either in debian or windows 2000 and so on...

ConfigParser : overwrite ?

Hi, I'm trying and updating an .ini file with ConfigParser but each time I call 'write', it appends the whole options another time to the file. For example : Here's the inital ini file [section1] foodir: %(dir)s/whatever dir: foo Here's my code : filename = ... config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser(

pygettext ?

Hi, I'm trying to write an internationalized app. I'm learning python and read that pygettext would help me, but I found elsewhere it was obsolete (??) So, what's the correct and up to date tool to i18n python ? Is there a tutorial somewhere (python docs has nothing really usable : I'd like at l

about coding

Hi, being a newbie in Python, I'm a bit lost with the '-*- coding : -*-' directive. I'm using an accented characters language. Some of them are correctly displayed while one doesn't. I've written : -*- coding: utf-8 -*- Is this wrong ? Where can I find a pratical explanation about these encodi

BTW stasz, Maybe you'll have still some time for the following question. Trying my luck :)) Suppose I have several units (.py files), say test.py test1.py tets2.py , test.py being my main file. I've read I can import gettext and install in the main unit. Then, must I create .po files for each u

Managing events

Hi, I have a class (a gui) with buttons and other controls. A button, for example, has a callback method, so that writing b = Button(label, OnClick) will call the global OnClick method. Now, if I want the OnClick method to call some of my main class methods, I need to write: UI = No

Get drives and partitions list (Linux)

Hi, I'd like to get drives and partitions (and their size too) with python under Linux. So far, I thought of reading /proc/partitions but maybe i could use fdsik also ? How would I do that in python ? Thanks for your help (newbie here :) ) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
