struct, IEEE-754 and internal representation

e it takes 6 * 4 = 24 bits to represent that as an int I am starting to think my expectation is wrong... If that's true, then I guess I am confused why Python is displaying 148.72999572753906 when you unpack the 4 bytes, implying a lot more precision that was available in the original 32-bi

Re: struct, IEEE-754 and internal representation

Ah! Well! That explains it. I started to suspect that but (obviously) did not know that. LOL Thanks for your prompt reply, Grant. :) -ej -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

exceptions, internals (introspection?)

othing else is jumping out at me. Can someone point me to some documentation on this subject and/or provide some examples? Thanks, :) -ej -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: python commmand line params from c++

Ummm, just a guess from looking at the output (not familiar with C++ interface)... the error seems to complain about what's in someScript.py, not the call to it. What's in someScript.py? "Wesley Henwood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > What is the proper way to pass

Re: Python FTP - NameError: name 'mydpa' is not defined

I have a similar problem. I need to download the same file every hour so it will be nice to be able to rename the downloads with a variable name. For example in this case: from ftplib import FTP ftp=FTP('tgftp.nws.noaa.gov') ftp.login() ftp.cwd('SL.us008001/DF.of/DC.radar/DS.81dpr/SI.kbuf') ftp.

NOT Python: Taxonomy list reference

I hope you will forgive this being a bit off subject, but this is about the smartest list of people I know. I came across a list in the past while studying OO methdology stuff. The list was trying to make the point of the problem classification systems often run into (i.e., often things belong

CGI module: get form name

I'm not seeing how to get at the 'name' attribute of an HTML element. form = cgi.FieldStorage() gives you a dictionary-like object that has keys for the various named elements *within* the form... I could easily replicate the form name in a hidden field, but there ought to be some way to get d
