President Bush Meets Pope Before Heading to Paris
by vaticans.org Nov. 2, 2014

Nov. 2, 2014

U.S. President George Bush has met with Pope Benedict at the Vatican, as he continues his week-long European trip. After his talks with the pontiff, Mr. Bush was traveling to Paris, France, where he is to give a speech later Friday on the strong relationship between the U.S. and Europe. U.S. National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley said Mr. Bush will urge European leaders to work even more closely with the U.S. to help bring peace to the Middle East. Mr. Hadley said the trans-Atlantic relationship has been strengthened by the current leaders in Italy, Britain, Germany, and France. The White House says Mr. Bush's speech will also commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Marshall Plan - the U.S. aid program that helped rebuild Europe after the devastation caused by World War II. The president and Mrs. Bush are then scheduled to have dinner with the French president and Mrs. Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace. Mr. Bush and Mr. Sarkozy hold formal talks on Saturday. On Thursday President Bush met with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the two leaders agreed to to work together on trying to convince Iran to give up its uranium enrichment program. Mr. Berlusconi said Italy has a trading relation with Iran and knows that country from the inside. President Bush said he will consider Italy's request to join the five permanent U.N. Security Council members and Germany in working on the Iran nuclear issue. But Mr. Hadley said it is always a problem when a country's commercial ties clashes with its national security requirements. Mr. Bush's European trip will also take him to Britain and Northern Ireland. Earlier, he stopped in Germany and attended the annual U.S.- European Union summit in Slovenia. http://www.vaticans.org/index.php?/archives/1175-Pope-Benedict-XVI-hosted-U…

Perl Template Toolkit: Now in spicy new Python flavor
by eefacm＠gmail.com Oct. 8, 2014

Oct. 8, 2014

I'd like to inform the Python community that the powerful and popular Template Toolkit system, previously available only in its original Perl implementation, is now also available in a beta Python implementation: http://tt2.org/python/index.html I created this port both as a fun programming project, and for use in environments where Perl is not available, for reasons technical, cultural, or otherwise. The extensive Perl test suites have also been ported, and most templates require no or very little modification. Discussion of the Python implementation should be conducted on the main Template Toolkit developer mailing list; see the site above for details.

Just had to change ´file´ to ´open´ for my Python 2.1. Adding the method ´flush(self)´ to Writer helped to get my ´sys.stdout.flush()´ to work. Thanks also to two inches (previous post). Mike

converting a string to a function parameter
by koranthala Jan. 5, 2014

Jan. 5, 2014

Hi, Is it possible to convert a string to a function parameter? Ex: str = 'True, type=rect, sizes=[3, 4]' and I should be able to use it as: test(convert(str)) and the behaviour should be same as calling test with those values : i.e. test(True, type=rect, sizes=[3, 4]) I tried eval, but it did not work. And any other mechanism I think turns out to be creating a full fledged python parser. Is there any mechanism with which we can do this straight away?
