what to do with python
by Ron Fountain July 7, 1999

July 7, 1999

I would like to write scripts that will backup various files, either on the linux box or through the network(grabbing files from other nodes). I would also like to setup a script that would be able to "route" data files according to what kind of file they are. If file = "A" then go here...if file = "B" then do this --type of thing. Is python what i would use, or something else? Ron Fountain Jr. Network Administrator http://www.steckel.com mailto:ron@steckel.com

Ummmmmm, suggestions please?

Here is my program: class Item: def __init__(self, name, volume): self.code = name self.cube = volume class Inven: def __init__(self, limit): self.contents = [] self.cubeLimit = limit self.currentCube = 0 def insert(self, item): if (item.cube + self.currentCube) > self.cubeLimit: print item.name, "will not fit." else: self.currentCube = self.currentCube + self.item.cube self.contents.append(item) def remove(self, item): self.currentCube = self.currentCube - item.cube self.contents.remove(item) def show(self): print "Item\t\tVolume" for x in xrange(0, len(self.contents)): print self.contents[x].name, "\t\t", self.contents[x].cube print "Total cube: ", self.currentCube OK, now getting closer to where I want/need help or suggestions. first create an item and an inven object: box = Item('Box', 5) room1 = Inven(15) room1.insert(box) room1.show() Item Volume Box 5 Total Volume: 5 room1.insert(box) room1.show() Item Volume Box 5 Box 5 Total Volume: 10 What I want is to accumulate like items into a group. Thus by putting two (2) boxes into my Inven(tory), I would get this result: room1.show() Item Volume Box(2) 10 #Or something similar Total Volume: 10 Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Ken

Sorry about that, the original code was 'bug-free'. Problem was when I went to paste it into my email client. Apparently the editor I use (which is in beta stage) has not reached the point of acutally using windows cliboard! Well find this the hard way. I am surprised there was only three bugs with ym typing :) Just a note, is there a reason some people send multiple messages with the same content to this list? Christian Tismer did this, and there are two or three others. Just curious. ken Christian Tismer wrote: > And please, next time submit tested code. > Yours had about three bugs.

HTML bettering?

How to make as simple as tool which would make some simple operation over HTML (e.g., headings numbering)? If I would use htmllib.py, I would have to build HTMLformatter or I am wrong and it is easy? Thanks Matthew

Second problem
by Jon Cosby June 13, 1999

June 13, 1999

Another problem: The following prints out keys and values multiple times, once for each key with the same value; if three keys have the same value, it will print each three times. Is there some condition I can add to prevent this? Jon Cosby keys = dict.keys() vals = dict.values() vals.sort(comp) for v in vals: for k in keys: if dict[k] == v: k = string.replace(k, dir + '\\', url) print '<a href=\"' + k + '\">' print '<b>', k, '</b></a> ', v, counter(v), 'hits<br>'

"return" and recursive functions
by Jon Cosby June 13, 1999

June 13, 1999

Problem: I need the following code to return search results for the given directory and it's sub-directories. As it is, it's returning "hits" only for the root directory. Any ideas as to how to work around this? Jon Cosby def getFile(text, dir): hits = [] dl = os.listdir(dir) text = string.lower(text) for d in dl: d = dir + '\\' + d if os.path.isfile(d): hits.extend(searchtext(text, d)) # Search file for word elif os.path.isdir(d): getFile(text, d) # Do sub-directories return hits
