Override a method in another module
by Bruce Edge Oct. 1, 2002

Oct. 1, 2002

What's the basic syntax to override (redefine) a function in another module at runtime? Say, I have module M, class C, method F, and I want to redifine method F. setattr( M.C.F, eval("def F(self): pass")) doesn't exactly work..... Thanks, Bruce.

OK, fix the rounding direction: def round(x): if x < 0: sign = -1.0 else: sign = 1.0 return sign * (abs(x) + .00000001)

I don't remember exactly what you need to do, but you need to add a line to your .dbxrc file like: gdb on http://wwws.sun.com/software/sundev/archive/developer/documentation/mr/READ… Neal

Is the word "Python" copyrighted/trademarked?
by Troels Therkelsen Oct. 1, 2002

Oct. 1, 2002

Hey everybody, I tried figuring out the answer to the question in the subject by reading the Python 2.2 license in the end of the library reference. "This License Agreement does not grant permission to use PSF trademarks or trade name in a trademark sense to endorse or promote products or services of Licensee, or any third party." My question is whether the word "Python" classifies as a PSF trademark or trade name? Eg., if I wanted to create a web server in Python (not that I want to), could I call it "Python Web Server" without breaking any rules? Regards, Troels Therkelsen

p2p in python

I remember seeing somewhere that there is an implementation of p2p in python, and that too a very fine one. Unfortunately, I have lost the reference to that one. Can anyone point me to that? Thanks, -- sudhir

RELEASE: Recodec 0.1
by pinard＠iro.umontreal.ca Oct. 1, 2002

Oct. 1, 2002

Hello, everybody. Recodec is a Python (2.2.1 or better) clone of Free `recode', and as such, it converts strings or files between character sets and usages. Version 0.1 is now at `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/recodec/Recodec.tar.gz'. See `http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/recodec/' for a copy of `README'. Pretesters may gently report problems, suggestions or other comments to `mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca'. `recode'-related discussions go to `mailto:recode-forum@iro.umontreal.ca', which is opened to subscribers. Python specific discussions might go to `mailto:python-list@python.org'. User visible changes since last release: .. `Unicode-Escape-X' (`ue') charset, according to Java documentation. .. `flat' and `Texinfo' are better connected to more charsets. .. `--find-subsets' (`-T') results are automatically sorted. .. `--list=codings' (`-lc') shows the handiest alias for each coding. Most changes are internal. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
