The title pretty much says it all. What is the easiest way in Tkinter to display an image from the internet given the URL?

One ambitious idea would be to implement (a subset of) MDX, the Multi-Dimensional eXpressions language (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms145506.aspx). If you have any java experience, there is an open source implementation in it so you don't have to start from scratch: http://mondrian.sourceforge.net. George

Re: beginner: using parameter in functions

thanks very much John! so i can have self as function parameter as well as in a method. that allowed me to use properties to retrieve the value set in the constructor. i just changed the function return statement and it worked. i was working along these lines but couldnt get it up and running as fast as you posted. templating sure is a great way to create dynamic query strings. very cool so far but still lots to learn. thanks again, jim "John McMonagle" <jmcmonagle(a)velseis.com.au> wrote in message news:mailman.6388.1149119924.27775.python-list@python.org... > On Wed, 2006-05-31 at 23:24 +0000, 3rdshiftcoder wrote: >> hi- >> >> i am having trouble using parameter values in my function and to be >> honest a >> little trouble with >> member variables. i am trying to pass in the argument 'd' representing >> delete. >> what the code will do is if it is 'd' it will make a delete query >> template >> string. >> if it is an 'i' then insert query etc. >> >> this is the results of my attempt to print the contents of the parameter >> values. >> <__main__.getQryStr instance at 0x01151D50> ('d',) me mad >> >> >> (and on a side note if i dont include the *args i get an invalid number >> of >> parameters supplied message.) >> why is it returning the value in this format ('d',) ? >> i cant get x == d >> i guess that value 'd' is stored in a tuple and i'd like to get it out of >> there. >> >> so basically the function returns nope as it stands >> >> python is sure different from other languages i have used. >> >> thanks for any help, >> jim >> > > > Try, the following: > > class getQryStr: > def __init__(self,op): > print op > self.x = 'd' > def returnStr(self, *args): > > print '%s %s me mad' % (self.x,args) > if self.x == 'd': > s = Template("delete from columndef where tblid = $tblid and > colname = $colname") > else: > return 'nope' #this else is just for illustration and > testing > > d = dict(tblid=t.tblid.getText(), colname=t.colName.getText()) > > print s.substitute(d) > > return s > > > Regards, > > John > > > > -- > This message has been scanned for viruses and > dangerous content by MailScanner, and is > believed to be clean. >

Variable name has a typo, but code still works. Why?
by mateus June 1, 2006

print "hello world" I have a nested loop where the outer loop iterates over key value pairs of a dictionary and the inner loop iterates over a list each list of which is a mapped value from the dictionary def showReport(self): for dev, sessions in self.logger.items(): for tree in session: self.addTestItem(self, tree) What I don't understand is why this executes w/o any problems when "sessions" was spelled as plural (sessionS) while later being spelled in the singular (session). Is there some type of name resolution of local variables where Python makes assumptions?
