Re: The problem with duck typing 15 Years Ago by bumsfeld It is only a duck if it acts, looks and sounds like one. Processed duck is not a duck. Re: The problem with duck typing 15 Years Ago by Fuse Actually, it it [i]is[/i] looking, acting and sounding like a duck. It's a 1-tuple, so it's still a tuple. Python seems to think a 1-tuple is better expressed simply as the element within the 1-tuple, however, which causes this problem. Re: The problem with duck typing 15 Years Ago by slate Help on function findall in module re: findall(pattern, string, flags=0) Return a list of all non-overlapping matches in the string.

Empty matches are … Re: The problem with duck typing 15 Years Ago by slate The title of the forum is about duck typing. The problem at hand has nothing to do with it IMHO. I agree. Re.findall function is not so well suited for taking a user input regular expression, because it changes the output type depending on the input regexp. This design decission can be argued against. A pro argument would be, that most of … Re: File IO and pictures 15 Years Ago by woooee You want to search for wxpyton file dialog [url]http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.FileDialog-class.html[/url] Re: File IO and pictures 15 Years Ago by Fuse Cheers mate!
