This should help you out. It's written in C++, but the Xlib wrapper for python is very light so it shouldn't be hard to translate.

Have fun.

locals_dict = locals()
for i in range(1, 10):
var_name = "POS" + str(i)
if i == POS:
locals_dict[var_name] = "->"
else:
locals_dict[var_name] = " "

If you a using a GUI/event-driven framework, then yes, it's possible. If you are using console python, then no.

bytes, as they exist in Python 3.1 are conceptually new to Python (starting with version 3). This isn't to say that 8-bit strings didn't exist before in the form of regular text strings. Note the...

I happen to think this behavior is consistent (with indexing and slicing rules).

Here's why it makes sense:

bytes and str are not the same. They aren't even conceptually the same.

A bytes...

You actually think that is more exotic? Wow.

No. b'\x01\x02' Is a byte string in python. The expression bs[x] means that you want the byte at position x in the bytestring x, while bs[a:b] means that you want the part of the byte string from a...

Sigh.

No, python doesn't have clear screen.

(emphasis mine)

No, they won't. You see, there's no good reason anybody would want to do that. I guarantee you that anybody wanting to do this has a totally different underlying problem to which...

Python.org supposedly loves spam anyway, so long as you include some eggs.

Look, not to be harsh or anything, but given you previous posts I think you would be better off reading a book or a wiki or even just a tutorial on Python OOP and maybe Python in general. Really.

Huh. Now I can see profiles again.

Whenever I try to view anyone's profile I get: (see attachment)

Okay, I will, but first give me one reasonable use for this technique.

Well they actually really are dlls. It's just that the routines inside are built on the python C API.

To use them, just import them like any other module.

What vegaseat said.

And if you're trying to optimise your program by using the most "efficient" of these, you have issues.

No, please don't do that.

That is okay if the page you are reading is encoded in ascii or utf-8. But if it is encoded in latin-1 (a fairly common encoding in its own right), you can run into...

1. You control the way your Car class prints by adding an __str__ method to it. Here is an example:
def __str__(self):
s = self.brand, self.name +": $", self.price #eg: Dodge Viper: $80000
...

I'm not even going to lecture you about why that is just horrible UX. If you want to put your users through that kind of torture, it's your call. The principle of what you're trying to achieve is the...

Well, I'm not Dan, but here's a little hack adapted from http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/15834-eject-close-cd-tray.aspx for Python. It's only two lines of code!
To open:

import ctypes...

That's one reason not to sign.

This method is probably a bit less efficient than other suggestions you'll get, but it's just one line:


new_list = [item[:1] for item in old_list]


Question. Why don't you use tuples instead...

Oh snap!

You wouldn't happen to be Indian by any chance?

Is everything okay now?

Line four didn't get you anything? You should've gotten an IO error; you're not supposed to read from files you open for writing. If even you had opened the file as w+, you still should've gotten...

Linux is by a good extent a "python OS". Okay that's misleading because the kernel itself isn't written in Python, but most distros would break if you remove it.

That's not a real key logger and you know it. Fail to the OP for accepting it as a solution without the most obvious test. Goes to show just how lazy he is.

William, I wasn't trying to put you down; this is practically how everyone I know (not just programmers) feels about their work. There is never enough time, and we're always tired. They don't teach...

Hey jlm699, how come you called random.seed()?

Stop being a wimp. And sleep 6 hours a day if you need more time.

Sure.. Whatever actually works is probably fine. You can always optimize from there.

You're going to have to post the code for do_stuff_with_var. Otherwise we'd just be guessing.

What you need to do is read one word at a time from the file and check that word for capitalization. Here's an example:


word = ""
char = fobj.read(1)
while char:
if char == " ":
...

Except I don't think he meant i there, but rather 1 (the number one). I can never be sure though.

Of course, just about anything can (and it has nothing to do with python)!

Just in case you don't fine wxGlade or BoaConstructor to be quite what you need (or if you just can't get past how ugly they are), you can try QtDesigner for pyQT (comes with the pyQT package).

I don't remember any of my favorite movies at all. I do remember noting however, that whenever I say to myself "Hey I really adore this movie", that movie had a good score. Maybe there's some kind of...

I hate you.
