equivelant of Java's toString() method? (not repr)
by Alex Hunsley Feb. 1, 2005

Feb. 1, 2005

Pretty simple seeming question, but can't find answer via google or docs... I am using urllib2 as follows: handle = urlopen(req, postdata) # and URL to return a handle on ... print handle.info() the print statement prints out the headers: Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Length: 2845 Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2005 12:40:28 GMT Server: Apache Coyote/1.0 Connection: close which is the string I want to use. However, if I write a function call using this: log(handle.info()) I get this: TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'instance' objects (The log function expects a string) What is the magic incantation to get the string I want so I can pass it to my function? I've tried repr() but that isn't it (I suspected it wouldn't be). I suppose I'm looking for the equivelant of Java's toString() method... thanks! alex

How about... import re content = re.sub('<([^!(a>)]([^(/a>)]|\n)*)>', '', content) Seems to work for me. HTH -Anand

Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
by Dean N. Williams Feb. 1, 2005

Feb. 1, 2005

Dear Python Community, I am trying to build Python with Tcl/Tk under the Cygwin_NT-5.1 OS. Has anyone done this? Do I need to build tcl8.4.9 and tk8.4.9 under the unix directory or the win directory. I found that the Tcl/Tk unix directories compiled just fine and built the libtcl8.4.a and libtk8.4.a libraries for use. But I don't think that Python is looking for this. If you've built Python with Tcl/Tck, is it possible for you to send me instructions on how you did it? Thanks in advance... Best regards, Dean

The files can also contain comments and are relatively easy to edit by hand. In addition they're portable. Best, Martin

python ScriptControl error in Excel while running fine in python
by sdementen＠hotmail.com Feb. 1, 2005

Feb. 1, 2005

I am trying to use ScriptControl under Excel (Windows XP) with the code: Global sc As New MSScriptControl.ScriptControl Public Function os_getcwd() sc.Language = "python" sc.ExecuteStatement ("import os") os_getcwd = sc.Eval("os.getcwd()") End Function When setting the language to python I have the error "A script engine for the specified language..." On the other side, under python, the translated code: import win32com.client sc=win32com.client.Dispatch("ScriptControl") sc.Language = "python" sc.ExecuteStatement ("import os") print sc.Eval("os.getcwd()") works without any problem ! So, is it possible that a different set of permissions for languages available in ScriptControl is used when executed from Excel or from python ? Is it possible to ask the available languages to ScriptControl ? Well, in fact I am totally puzzled by this behaviour so any help is welcome :-) Sebastien PS: could you reply to my email address as I do not read regularly c.l.p. ? thanks

IIRC, in newer Python versions, you can set the PYTHONINSPECT env var inside your script. Thomas

I have a menu that lists a set of regular expressions available for a particular task. However, the regex are applied in two different ways for this task. I want a common menu for displaying all the choices, but two separate "Accelerator Keys" to invoke it, depending on the desired application... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra(a)tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/

Dear Python friends, I need a favor.I play chess at a chess server with the name ICC(www.chessclub.com). I want to write a plugin for their interface using Python. I don't have any idea about how to write a plugin but I found out that the server administrator has written a Plugin Development Kit in C++ for those who wish to write plugins for the interface.I don't know C++ so I cannot convert this kit into python scripts.Can anyone do this for me? or can anyone examine those scripts and tell me a way how to write those with python?The development kit is avaliable at the site ftp://ftp.chessclub.com/pub/icc/interface/blitzin2/plugins/ under the name PluginDevkit.zip Any kind of help is appreciated.
