BTW - I can't find any code examples of how to interrupt a beast like
this. A regular ctrl-c doesn't work, since the separate threads just
keep executing. Is this a case where you need to iterate through all
threads and stop each one individually? How would that look?

I'm doing some python programming for a linux terminal (just learning).

No guessing needed. If I just use os.system("clear") on its own, no
problem. Also, if I use the magic formula you gave on its own, that
works to. But in the app, (see below), neither command works. I'm
missing something obvious, but I'm... missing it.

This code works fine to download files from the web and write them to

file.write(g)

The process is pretty opaque, however. This downloads and writes t

Thanks for the explanation. That is exactly what I'm looking for. In a
way, it's kind of neat that urlopen just *does* it, no questions asked,
but I'd like to just know the basics, which is what it sounds like

So, I just put this little chunk to the test, which does give you

with urlretrieve, you don't do all the file opening and closing stuff.
Works fine:

It clears the screen by scrolling all the characters out of sight at
the top of the terminal window. So the screen is blank, but not cleared

I want to set default values for a ConfigParser. So far, its job is

Usually I just print an error message.

When I'm rewriting code (cutting and pasting pieces from earlier
modules), is there a quick way to determine if I have imported all the
necessary modules? I am used to working in Java, where the compiler
will tell you if you haven't imported everything, and also Eclipse,
which has the handy "organi

Thanks for the clarification. ;) Actually, I've done hellish amounts
of testing on these code pieces, which is why I don't want to have to
do it all over again just to check the imports.

I've only been goofing around with Python for about a month now, but

I never get that feeling -- so common with Java -- that I'm swimming
upstream, struggling to force the language to do what I want.
Python makes it feel effortless and easy.

I know I could do it by using os.popen('locate'), but I'm curious if

Unix, but would be interesting if it was cross-platform.
