Simple Database Package
by michael＠foord.net Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

I'm looking to build a simple database application for use on the desktop (customer contact and feedback database). Anyone able to reccomend a simple module / package I can use... ? I've never done any database work before and am ken to learn - but most of the ones I've seen seem to rely on a database engine buit into a server.. I need a simple stand alone engine. Of course I could just build the functions I need - but that would be a bit of a waste and not so extendable........ Thanks in advance for your help.

PEP 327: Decimal Data Type
by Batista, Facundo Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

I'm proud to announce that the PEP for Decimal Data Type is now published under the python.org structure: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0327.html This wouldn't has been possible without the help from Alex Martelli, Aahz, Tim Peters, David Goodger and c.l.p itself. After the pre-PEP roundups the features are almost established. There is not agreement yet on how to create a Decimal from a float, in both explicit and implicit constructions. I depend on settle that to finish the test cases and actually start to work on the code. I'll apreciate any feedback. Thank you all in advance. . Facundo

mod_speling for python
by prtk3＠yahoo.com Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

Hi, I'm not looking to get into a debate about case-sensitive vs. insensitive programming languages, but I was looking for suggestions about how it might be possible to add a hook to the python parser similar to the Apache mod_speling module (links below). So that for example if there is a NameError exception, python walks the globals() and locals() to see if it might be just a minor spelling/capitalization error. I can see how this might be done for ImportErrors, using ihooks or iu, but I don't see how to do it for NameErrors. The python compiler module doesn't seem to be the answer. I know there are drawbacks, disadvantages, this is "evil", etc. I only wanted to know what ways there are to add such a hook if it is possible without altering the C source for python itself. Possible End-User Solution A: Simply add an "import spelling" to a python file to enable spell-checking, sort of like how you use the psyco module (speaking of which, how many times have you misspelled that). Possible End-User Solution B: Create an alternative executable that wraps the python interpreter. This wrapper may or may not have to use its own source code parser, like the unreleased mobius-python project. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_speling.html http://lxr.webperf.org/source.cgi/modules/mappers/mod_speling.c http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/importhooks.html http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-compiler.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobiuspython

Re: pyc file problem

i doubt there are any good name manglers for python.especialy with it being dynamic. you could encrypt your game files. of course the loader would have to be mangled by hand. if you are keen on this you could look at the tempfile and imp modules. this is not foolproof. people could still step through your code and crack it. just wondering, is it smart to have any of the game's logic on the users machine. i can see a lot of situations other than hacking and cracking the code that could lead to problems.
