Did you try this [code=python] import webbrowser webbrowser.open(my_url) [/code] ?

If you want to wait for a thread, the best way is to use the method [icode]Thread.join[/icode], so you do this [code=python] my_thread = Thread(target=...) my_thread.start() do_some_stuff() my_thread.join() [/code]

You can also visit this site [url]http://pydoc.org/[/url] and fill the form with [code]floor[/code] to discover it's in the math module ...

This error means that the variable [icode]self[/icode] is not defined when the program reaches line 87 in your file. In order that [icode]self[/icode] be defined at this point you must either 1) put line 87 in a function where [icode]self[/icode] is a parameter, like [code=python] def myFunction(self, other_arguments): self.Entry = …

didn't you try to parse your xml file with a standard module like [icode]xml.dom.minidom[/icode] ? You just need to write [icode]parse("C:/infile.xml")[/icode] and you get a Document object from which you can extract your data...

You could add [icode]inp = list(inp)[/icode] as the first line in your function. Also you should avoid using names like 'bool', 'array' or 'string' (type or module names) as variable names :)

It would be easier if we could see the python line which runs the system call. A possible solution to your problem is to start the system call without waiting for it's completion, using [icode]subprocess.Popen[/icode] (see [url]http://docs.python.org/lib/node533.html)[/url]. Then, once you have a child process running, print it's output with a …

In the Perl language, you can fork a child process with the following syntax [code=perl] open CHILD, " | programA | programB | program C"; print CHILD "this is an example input"; [/code] (at least, you can do this under linux). This statement starts 3 processes in fact; programA, B …

folders are easy to identify, use the function [icode]os.path.isdir()[/icode]. look if functions in [icode]os.path[/icode] suffice to your needs :) Also for common path operations, there is a nice Path class which exists at python.org. It was rejected as a standard class in python, but it can be useful. Look here …

like this [code=python] table = [] for i in range(0,1001): x = (i * .004) - 2 y = math.tanh(x) table.append(y) [/code] for example :)

You can filter the list like this [code=python] file_count = len([f for f in os.walk(".").next()[2] if f[-4:] == ".txt"]) [/code]

I give you a possible pattern (untested) [code=python] from subprocess import Popen from threading import Condition import os import signal self.user_condition = Condition() ... self.user_condition.acquire() try: while True: child = Popen("path/to/executable", *arguments) #http://docs.python.org/lib/node537.html self.user_condition.wait() if self.user_wants_to_exit_the_loop: if self.user_wants_to_stop_child: os.kill(child.pid, signal.SIGKILL) # http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html#l2h-2764 elif self.user_wants_to_wait_for_child: child.wait() #http://docs.python.org/lib/node532.html break finally: self.user_condition.release() [/code] …

It's because your function `revstr` prints the reversed string, but then returns None (because there is no return statement). Since your program contains `print revstr(...`, this None value returned is printed. What you should do is replace print by return in `revstr`. Note: in the forum, use (code=python) instead of …

A magic trick that worked with me on such problems is [icode]self.SendSizeEvent()[/icode] when you want to refresh. See if it works for you :)

I think the special characters are instructions for the terminal. …

It looks like you are in a linux console. When you give the name of an executable file in the terminal, it probably tries to execute it as if it is a bash script, and you see the error messages of bash. Normally you should be able to execute your …

[icode]add[/icode] is a variable which value is a function. In the same way, if you write [icode]z = 0.0[/icode], then [icode]z[/icode] is a variable which value is a float. The difference is that [icode]add[/icode] has the special property that its "callable" with the syntax [icode]add(x, y)[/icode]. You can check this …

[code=python] >>> print str.replace.__doc__ S.replace (old, new[, count]) -> string [/code] hm, I think your code should raise an exception because of a missing argument. Also I suggest you set a logger for the whole conversation (see module logging). You should also modify the code so that your robot always …

If you want to use lex and yacc tools, I think you could start with PLY [url]http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/[/url], which is a pure python implementation of lex an yacc tools by David Beazley (the author of swig). I tried it, it works quite well. The difference with a C implementation is just …

I googled and after some time, I discovered this link: [url]http://www.rutherfurd.net/python/sendkeys/[/url] . If you test it, let us know if it works. I'd like to find an equivalent module on linux. There is also a perl module named GUITest, which exists with a windows and a linux version. With some …

On windows, I was able to shutdown the system with [code=python] import os os.system("shutdown -s") [/code] On linux, it was [code=python] import os os.system("sudo shutdown -h now") [/code] Note that normaly on linux, only the superuser can shutdown the machine with 'shutdown'. Other users must be allowed to do so …

An extreme solution: a class to escape any set of characters (reuse freely) [code=python] #!/usr/bin/env python # escaper.py # a class to escape characters in strings import re class Escaper(object): def __init__(self, chars): self.pat = re.compile("[%s]" % re.escape(chars)) def __call__(self, data): return self.pat.sub(lambda c: "\\"+c.group(0), data) if __name__ == "__main__": …

A simple way to do this would be to write a small GUI code, using the wx.TextEntryDialog widget. I suggest that you visit this link [url]http://wiki.wxpython.org/AnotherTutorial#head-2e6716d7887279f22b0ffa57dc03278ea4ed8f85[/url] and paste the code section just below, and then drop most of the methods, but the method [icode]def textentry[/icode]. In the text entry, you …

At first sight, the problem is that you refer to a variable [icode]self[/icode] outside of a class block. In the loop [icode]while 1[/icode] at the end of the file, it should probably be [icode]speechReco.items[/icode]. Also shouldn't the function [icode]def SetItem[/icode] be a method of [icode]class speechRecognition[/icode]? The loop [icode]while Greeting …

Here is a better way to handle flow of control :) [code=python] def youWantToAddAPerson(): return int(raw_input("Do you want to add a new person (0 or 1) ? ")) def getThePersonName(): return raw_input("What is the name of the person ? ") def getThePersonNumber(): return raw_input("What is the number of that person …

Here is a way to swap characters [code=python] import re swap_pat = re.compile(u"A(?:B|C|D)") def swap(swap_match): s = swap_match.group(0) return s[1] + s[0] def swap_sub(theString): return swap_pat.sub(swap, theString) second_pat = re.compile(u"\u1013(.*)\u102C") def second(second_match): middle = second_match.group(1) return u"\u1001%s\u102B" % middle def second_sub(theString): return second_pat.sub(second, theString) if __name__ == u"__main__": s = …

May be you could try this [code=C++] catch (...) { if(PyErr_Occurred()) { PyErr_Print(); boost::python::object traceback(boost::python::handle<>(PyImport_ImportModule("traceback"))); std::string err_text = boost::python::extract<std::string>(traceback.attr("format_exc")()); logErrors = "Exception caught: "; logErrors += err_text; LogMessage((char*)logErrors.c_str()); boost::python::handle_exception(); } success = false; } [/code] I don't think the [icode]sys.stderr.getvalue[/icode] exists :)

May be you can keep the same label and update it's content. There is a nice way to do this with a Tkinter variable, described in this page [url]http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/label.htm[/url]

found in another forum: [code=python] >>> x = "Blah" >>> def pp(): ... global x ... x = "Hello There!" ... >>> print x Blah >>> pp() >>> print x Hello There! [/code]

In python 2.5 there is a standard module [icode]sqlite3[/icode] so I'd rather use this module.

Here the method is [icode]demonstration.number[/icode] (it's an attribute of the class, which you hide in the instances with [icode]self.number = number[/icode].

Here is my solution. Since you're learning python, your job is to understand the details :). [code=python] import re digits_pat = re.compile(r"\d{3}(?:[*]|$)") def digits_trans(mo): s = mo.group(0) return "%s.%s" % (s[0], s[1:]) def digits_sub(theString): return digits_pat.sub(digits_trans, theString) def addDots(fileIn, fileOut, startAt=20): fout = open(fileOut, "w") for line in open(fileIn, "r"): …

I attach a slightly corrected program

I write a lot of python code and almost never use global declarations :). In fact you must use a global declaration when you want to assign a value to a global variable in a function, like your line [code=python] Contacts_lbox = Listbox(f3,height=5) [/codeh however it works only if your …

I give you two versions so that you can compare them [code=python] def firstLettersA(theString): theWords = theString.split() theLetters = mapl(lamda w: w[:1], theWords) theResult = ''.join(theLetters) print theWords, theLetters, theResult return theResult def firstLettersB(theString): return ''.join(map(lambda w: w[:1], theString.split())) def main(): print "This program splits the words in a sentence" …

There doesn't seem to be an error. This kind of errors happen sometimes with IDE like idle when a module like 'handle_input' was previously loaded and then modified, but the modified version is not reloaded by idle. However, since we don't know the context, I suggest for debugging that you …

may be it's related to this [url]http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-June/268575.html[/url]

I think there are functions like [U]quote[/U] or [U]urlencode[/U] in the urllib module. I suggest you import urllib and look at the output of help(urllib) in your python console. Also search "encode url in python" with google :)

I'd suggest [code=python] prefix = "clear|" if inp[:len(prefix)] == prefix: inp = inp[len(prefix):] [/code]

Python is open source and written in C, so in principle you should be able to extract pickling functions from the source code of python itself. It's most certainly a useless task to try to write another C function for this. Another way to hide things is to use an …

There is a solution using [I]properties[/I], that is, dynamic attributes. Here is the code [code=python] class Item(object): def __init__(self, name = ""): self._name = name self._cname = None def _get_name(self): return self._name def _set_name(self, value): self._name = value self._cname = None name = property(_get_name, _set_name) def _get_creationName(self): return self.name if …

I have some experience with speeding up python with swig. It allows you to access virtually any algorithm written in C or C++ from python. I used it for numerical analysis and also parsing. On such problems, this method is quit e efficient. However, the most useful feature of swig …

Hello. The problem with your solution is that it works only on windows. I don't know if a portable solution exists. It should be possible to use the python interface of openoffice.org for such a task (but the ooo api is quite complicated). A starting point could be [url]http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development_python[/url] :)

Hello, Some software testing programs contain functions to simulate human interaction with GUIs. In this page [url]http://www.tizmoi.net/watsup/intro.html[/url] , there is an example of writing automatically in a running notepad application. May be you could make it write in your hyperterminal ?

A solution is to keep a dictionary of the objects you reference. The dictionary would have the object's id's as keys and the object as values.

How to Simplify expressions ? I need to know how to simplify expressions like these 2t2+(3+5)(4t)=, and -2t(4t-5)+(-5t2)= i need to learn how to simplify expressions step by step and if there is a website you know of that can show me how to solve simplify expressions step by step …
