What does this PyChecker warning mean?

is meant by this warning. In fact, it simply seems wrong -- but I have learned not to jump to that conclusion too quickly, so I was hoping someone here could perhaps enlighten me... Many thanks in advance, -- Leo Breebaart l...@lspace.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: What does this PyChecker warning mean?

doing anything else, just to see what comes up. As far as I can tell the sole reason for that code being structured the way it is, is to provide a kind of module-within-a-module and not clutter up the outer module with these helper classes needed only by the foo() function. -- Leo Breebaart l

Re: Using class attributes

the descriptor solution as given above, the code works perfectly, but running the code through pychecker now causes an error, because that again causes an attempt to read from the non-existant base class template file Foo.tmpl... -- Leo Breebaart l...@lspace.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo

Using class attributes

can of course always just hardcode the template filenames in each derived class, but I am just curious if it can be automated through some form of introspection. -- Leo Breebaart l...@lspace.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Designing a cancellable function

if this way the whole API for foo() won't become to complex and overdesigned. I was wondering if anybody has any insights or best practice recommendations for me here. Do I keep the function interface? Do I use a class? Any other solution I am overlooking? Many thanks in advance for your advice. -- Leo

Logging vs printing

How to doctest if __name__ already used?

Pythonic way to run doctest on the docstrings in the file? Trigger doctest.testmod() via a --test command-line option, is what I'm thinking. But is that really the best way? -- Leo Breebaart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Sending mail from 'current user' in Python

? is worth reading. Thanks to you and everyone else who contributed to this thread. I've now decided to accept the inherent non-portabilitiness of the whole concept of 'sending mail from within a program', and will be going with a Unix-only see-if-you-can-find-sendmail approach. -- Leo Breebaart
