Scipy and Mcafee Site Advisor?
by David Lees Aug. 1, 2007

Aug. 1, 2007

I know scipy.org is legit and supplies widely used and useful python packages. Can someone explain why my McAfee SiteAdvisor software, flags scipy.org as a dangerous site? Pardon my ignorance, but is this a temporary error in the SiteAdvisor database or is there some privacy consideration involved? I am wondering if I should remove the SiteAdvisor software, because it is not particularly reliable. Puzzled. david lees

Reload after an exception, not possible ?
by Stef Mientki Aug. 1, 2007

Aug. 1, 2007

hello, I've a graphical application (wxPython), where the code in the main GUI loop is given below. 1 JAL_Loaded = False 2 while len(App_Running) > 0: 3 if JALsPy_globals.State == SS_Run: 4 try: 5 if JAL_Loaded: 6 reload ( JAL_simulation_file ) 7 else: 8 JAL_Loaded = True 9 import JAL_simulation_file 10 except JALsPy_globals.Reload_Exception: 11 JALsPy_globals.State = SS_Halt The first time the while loop is entered, JAL_Loaded is False (line 1), and when I press some button, the code will enter at line 8, importing a module, that has executable code with an infinite loop. To exit this infinite loop, an exception is generated (by a button press), and program comes back in the above while-loop line (10,11,2). So far so good. Then I change the code in the imported file, and when I start the engine again, the flag JAL_Loaded is True, so I don't import, but I reload the file. Now I get the next exception UnboundLocalError: local variable 'JAL_simulation_file' referenced before assignment So obviously I can't reload but have to do an import again (which makes the code much simpler ;-) but I don't understand why the reload raises an exception ???? please enlighten me, thanks, Stef Mientki

Iteration over strings
by Robert Dailey Aug. 1, 2007

Aug. 1, 2007

Hi, I have the following code: str = "C:/somepath/folder/file.txt" for char in str: if char == "\\": char = "/" The above doesn't modify the variable 'str' directly. I'm still pretty new to Python so if someone could explain to me why this isn't working and what I can do to achieve the same effect I would greatly appreciate it.

This is a very strange exception raised from somewhere in our program. I have no idea how this happen. And don't know how to reproduce. It just occurs from time to time. Can anyone give me some suggestion to fix this? Thanks. -- Gilbert

Utilizing a raw IDispatch Pointer from Python
by Brad Johnson Aug. 1, 2007

Aug. 1, 2007

I have a C++ application that creates a collection of COM objects. I would like to give the Python interpreter access to these interfaces that were created in C++ land. Stated another way, how can I have Python consume a IDispatch pointer from C++ and wrap it with one of those nice Python classes automatically? Thanks in advance.
