You couldn't do . . . internet.192.168.0.1['http'] There's an interesting question. If I say internet.org.python.guido, does that mean guido.python.org/ or python.org/guido?

Remove 1.6 (Re: Python Concerns)

Couldn't be simpler <wink>. I disagree. It can be simpler. Since nobody will seriously use 1.6, why not remove all links to it? Then we'll just have the old situation of one final release (1.5.2) and one new release-in-development (2.0). All in favor raise your hand :-) Richard.

I was thinking about having 5 modems dialing out on one box. (5 different phone lines, 5 different isp logins.) When requesting an html page, how can you tell pyhton which modem to use? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Link Errors Trying to Embed Python in C
by Jeff Perry Sept. 28, 2000

Sept. 28, 2000

I am trying to embed Python in a C application, but I keep getting link errors. I am running Windows 98, and I am using Python 1.6. The errors I get are of the nature: config.c: undefined reference to 'init***' I compile with config.c and I link with python16.lib. Obviously, I'm not linking with the right stuff-- can someone tell me what I'm missing? BTW, when I try the same thing under Linux 2.2.16-3 linking with config.c and libpython1.6.a, I get almost identical results. My C file looks like this: pyrun.c **** #include "Python.h" int main (int argc, char **argv) { Py_Initialize (); return 0 } **** My Makefile looks like this: Makefile **** PYLIB=python16.lib LIB=c:/progra~1/python16/libs/$(PYLIB) PYSRC=c:/progra~1/python16/PC/ INCLUDE=c:/progra~1/python16/include CC=gcc -Wall -I$(INCLUDE) $(OPT) CFILES=pyrun.c all: $(CC) $(LIB) $(CFILES) $(PYSRC)/config.c **** Thanks, Jeff

Tkinter installation in Python-1.6b1
by fred＠niwot.scd.ucar.edu Sept. 28, 2000

Sept. 28, 2000

I installed Python-1.6b1 and then, as per the instructions on www.python.org, in order to complete installation of Tkinter, I went to http://dev.scriptics.com/ and downloaded Tcl/Tk. The only version available on that page is Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 . After installing Tcl/Tk 8.3.2, I imported Tkinter into a python execution (which went fine), but when I tried executing Tkinter functions, I got from python: RuntimeError: tk.h version (8.2) doesn't match libtk.a version (8.3) Any suggestions as to the best way to resolve this would be appreciated? -- Fred Clare fred(a)ucar.edu

dircmp example wanted
by howardhansen＠my-deja.com Sept. 28, 2000

Sept. 28, 2000

I'm at work on a system to automate the web site builds process at our company. I'd like to create a quick build summary report which would compare the source trees from the current build and the prior one. The dircmp class which lives inside filecmp seems like a terrific head start, but as a Python newbie, I've hit the wall early and often trying to figure it out. Does anyone have sample code that I can leverage for comparing two directory trees using dircmp? TIA, Howard Hansen Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

RE: Wholly unnecessary flame. (was Re: pyXML!)
by Delaney, Timothy Sept. 28, 2000

Sept. 28, 2000

This brings up an interesting point. I really don't think open source has reached critical mass on either Windows or Mac yet. A large part of this is that most applications on those platforms still don't come with source code. There are plenty of developers who *do* release source code on these systems, but they are generally released as *complete* source code i.e. there is no encouragement to tinker with the source. > -----Original Message----- > From: Neil Schemenauer [mailto:nas@arctrix.com] > Sent: Friday, 29 September 2000 6:57 AM > To: Tim Peters > Cc: Python-List (E-mail) > Subject: Re: Wholly unnecessary flame.
