calling superclass __init__ when superclass is object
by Evan Klitzke Aug. 2, 2007

Aug. 2, 2007

Hi list, I was reading this article: http://fuhm.net/super-harmful/ and didn't understand the comment about calling super(Foo, self).__init__() when Foo inherits only from object. Can someone on the list elaborate more on why one should do this? -- Evan Klitzke <evan(a)yelp.com>

If the underlying DB used by `shelve` works with a hash table it may be expected to see that "bloat". It's a space vs. speed trade off then. Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch

sending very large packets over the network
by Walker Lindley Aug. 1, 2007

Aug. 1, 2007

OK, I'm back with another networking question. I'm trying to seend large amounts of information over TCP (the length of data being given to send() is on the order of 16000 characters in length). Unfortunately on the receiving end, the packets appear to be truncated. So I wrote some code that continuously tries to send bigger and bigger packets until it fails and noticed that it never fails at the same length. I'm not even sure these two things are related, but is there some undocumented (or documented and I missed it) maximum size for data you can pass to send()? the sample code is as follows #server import socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind(("", 2000)) s.listen(0) sock, addrinfo = s.accept() for i in range(2 ** 16): length = int(sock.recv(16)) print "excpecting data of length:", length data = sock.recv(length) print "received data of length:", len(data) print s.close() sock.close() #client import socket import time s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind(("", 2001)) s.connect(("localhost", 2000)) for i in range(2 ** 16): packet = "h" * i s.send("%16d" % len(packet)) print "attempting to send data of length:", len(packet) tmp = s.send(packet) print "actually sent data of length:", tmp print time.sleep(.001) s.close() i just put them in different files and ran them from the command line. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Walker -- This e-mail is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5License.

by Maximus Decimus Aug. 1, 2007

Aug. 1, 2007

HI all, I am using python v2.5 and I am an amateur working on python. I am extending python for my research work and would like some help and guidance w.r.t this matter from you experienced python developers. II want to add some more KEYWORDS and DATATYPES into the python script apart from the existing ones. It would be really great if anybody could guide me as which files and modules I need to look to make these additions and enhancements to the existing python version. Thanks a lot in advance and your help is really appreciated. Vishak
