Re: [Tutor] How to stop a script.

Ctrl+c will issue a KeyboardInterrupt which breaks out of programs such as the one you described. (The only situation it doesn't is when the program catches that exception. You won't see that 'til you get your sea legs ;-) ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor

Re: [Tutor] Careful Dictionary Building

This functionality already exists in the ever so useful defaultdict object. You pass a factory method to the constructor of defaultdict for an object, and it returns a new object when there is no key: from collections import defaultdict mydict = defaultdict(list) for record in mylist: mydi

Re: [Tutor] Careful Dictionary Building

first thing.. you are duplicating a lot of effort inside your loops. getting rid of that will speed things up: dict = {} for record in list: rid = record[0]     if rid in dict:     dict[ rid ].append( record )     else:     dict[ rid ] = [record] The other thing I see isn't a speed p

[Tutor] Careful Dictionary Building

I'm building a dictionary from a list with ~ 1M records. Each record in the list is itself a list. Each record in the list has a line number, (index 0) which I wish to use as a dictionary key. The problem: It is possible for two different records in the list to share this line number. If they do,

Hello, I have a mbox file locally on my notebook. I would like to send this file to my IMAP account using python. Does anyone know a module or tutorial which does this? I tried * IMAPClient 0.3 - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/IMAPClient/0.3 but it doesn't contain a send function. Thanks in advanc

Re: [Tutor] Closing GUI program

Hi Jim, The problem with your code is that Tk's mainloop continues to run even though you have closed the window. The cleaner way to close such a GUI program is to explicitly stop the main loop and the Python interpreter at the appropriate time. In this particular case, you may provid

Re: [Tutor] Dynamically named objects

You might find a dictionary useful. Each element in a dictionary is associated with a "key", which can be a string. objectlist = {} o = eval("class1" + "()") objectlist["object1"] = o o.method("hello world") Also, try to avoid using eval(), it usually makes troubleshooting and maintenance hard

Re: [Tutor] Dynamically named objects

Here's the same thing with a list instead of a dictionary: #=== class thingy(): example = "Just testing - " def __init__(self, num): self.example = self.example + str(num) thang = [] for x in range(1,4): thang.append(thingy(x)) for item,
