Re: [Tutor] How to kill an app from python on windows?
[Paulino]
| To launch an app one can state os.startfile('hello.pdf') and
| the file is opened in acrobat .
|
| And how can I kill the app from python, in order to, for
| instance, rename the file?
|
| Is it possible?

Dick Moores I've run into the limitation on the size of an int that can be converted to a float. I back with this topic. I'd completely forgotten that I had written numberRounding(), which doesn't suffer from that limitation: def numberRounding(n, significantDigits=4): import decimal def d(x): return decimal.Decimal(str(x)) decimal.getcontext().prec = significantDigits return d(n)/d(1) Thus, n = 2**2000 print numberRounding(n,6) 1.14813E+602 BTW the last line of numberRounding() seems strange (even though it works)? Why wouldn't return d(n) do the job? Thanks, Dick Moores ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The docs for os.startfile() say it is available on Windows only.

Try webbrowser.open('http://www.python.org')

[Tutor] difflib.SequenceMatcher with get_matching_blocks is incorrect
I'm trying to write a program to test someone's typing speed and show them their mistakes. However I'm getting weird results when looking for the differences in longer (than 100 chars) strings: import difflib # a tape measure string (just makes it easier to locate a given index) a = '1-3-5-7-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36-39-42-45-48-51-54-57-60-63-66-69-72-75-78-81-84-87-90-93-96-99-103-107-111-115-119-123-127-131-135-139-143-147-151-155-159-163-167-171-175-179-183-187-191-195--200' # now with a few mistakes b = '1-3-5-7-l-12-15-18-21-24-27-30-33-36-39o42-45-48-51-54-57-60-63-66-69-72-75-78-81-84-8k-90-93-96-9l-103-107-111-115-119-12b-1v7-131-135-139-143-147-151-m55-159-163-167-a71-175j179-183-187-191-195--200' s = difflib.SequenceMatcher(None, a ,b) ms = s.get_matching_blocks() print ms [(0, 0, 8), (200, 200, 0)] Have I made a mistake or is this function designed to give up when the input strings get too long?

Hmm, well you could do a basic Mac version of startfile like this:
def startfile(fn):
os.system('open %s' % fn)

You might want to have a look at Pmw's _centreonscreen method: def _centreonscreen(self): # Centre the window on the screen. (Actually halfway across # and one third down.) parent = self.winfo_parent() if type(parent) == types.StringType: parent = self._hull._nametowidget(parent) # Find size of window. self.update_idletasks() width = self.winfo_width() height = self.winfo_height() if width == 1 and height == 1: # If the window has not yet been displayed, its size is # reported as 1x1, so use requested size. width = self.winfo_reqwidth() height = self.winfo_reqheight() # Place in centre of screen: x = (self.winfo_screenwidth() - width) / 2 - parent.winfo_vrootx() y = (self.winfo_screenheight() - height) / 3 - parent.winfo_vrooty() if x 0: x = 0 if y 0: y = 0 return '+%d+%d' % (x, y) If you replace self resp. self._hull with your window and pass the return value to a call of its geometry() method it should do what you want.
