I wrote the following simple program to loop through our help files
and fix some errors (in case you can't see the subtle RE search that's
happening, we're replacing spaces in bookmarks with _'s)
the program works great except for one thing. It's significantly
slower through the later files in the
I did try moveing the re.compile's up and out of the replacecylce()
but it didn't impact the time in any meaningful way (2 seconds
maybe)...

already...
I'm actually starting to think there's a problem with certain files,
however...
We create help files for clients using RoboHelp... RoboHelp has Source

no swaps... memory usage is about 14k (these are small Html files)...
no hard drive cranking away or fan on my laptop going nutty... CPU
usage isn't even pegged... that's what makes me think it's not some
sort of bizarre memory leak... Unfortunately, it also means I'm out of
ideas...

For anyone that cares, I figured out the "problem"... the webhelp
files that it hits the wall on are the compiled search files... They
are the only files in the system that have line lengths that are
RIDICULOUS in length... I'm looking at one right now that has 32767
characters all on one line...
The search is trying to replace the spaces in our bookmarks (and the
links that go to those bookmarks)...
The bookmark tag looks like this:

There's a government website which shows public data for banks. We'd

For the life of me I can not figure out how to get easy_install to
work. The syntax displayed on the web page does not appear to work
properly.
easy_install c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg
Is there a simpler way to install a python egg? Or am I missing
something with easy_install?

I had it downloaded and sitting in the root c:\ but didn't get it to
run because I didn't think about the \scripts folder not being in the
Path. Problem solved and fixed. Thank you all for your help.
On a side note, "easy_install MySQL-python" produced the following
messages:

Before the inevitable response comes, let me assure you I've read
through the posts from Guido about this. 7 years ago Guido clearly
expressed a displeasure with allowing these methods for tuple. Let me
lay out (in a fresh way) why I think we should reconsider.
1) It's counterintuitive to exclude

As a relative new comer to Python, I haven't done a heck of a lot of
hacking around with it. I had my first run in with Python's quirky (to
me at least) tendency to assign by reference rather than by value (I'm
coming from a VBA world so that's the terminology I'm using). I was
surprised that these
Thank you both, the assigning using slicing works perfectly (as I'm
sure you knew it would)... It just didn't occur to me because it
seemed a little nonintuitive... The specific application was
def dicttolist (inputdict):
finallist=[]
for k, v in inputdict.iteritems():
temp = v
I think the fundamental "disconnect" is this issue of mutability and
immutability that people talk about (mainly regarding tuples and
whether they should be thought of as static lists or not)
Coming from VBA I have a tendency to think of everything as an
array...
So when I create the following
