Re: [Tutor] data structure question
snip class Task(object): def __init__(self, cargo, children=[]): self.cargo = cargo self.children = children def __str__(self): s = '\t'.join(self.cargo) return s def add_child(self,child): self.children = self.children + [child] This is an excellent start. self.children = self.children +[child] can be self.children.append(child) Building on your concept and Kent's suggestions, I wish to list some things that will help me to organize this... * Each task is a container for other tasks (children) (Essentially a *list* of other tasks) * Each task has 'cargo' which is a string * Each task can print it's direct contents, or a full recursive print is available This helps, I think. So the answer is - when you add a child to self.children, make it an instance of Task Oh ~ and ~ class Task(object): ... def recursive_print(self, level=0): print \t*level + self.cargo for x in self.children: recursive_print(x,level+1) should take care of the recursive printing with level control ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Your email application attached the files using a standard called MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, see: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html Part of the standards involves the choice of using a base64 encoding to ensure the attachment is 7-bit clean to properly transfer over SMTP, that's what you're seeing is the encoded attachment. Several things may have happened. 1) the program you used to send the mail didn't perform the MIME attaching correctly and didn't include the proper information for the receiver to decode, 2) something corrupted the email in transit or 3) the email client reading the email doesn't know how to handle MIME. If the problem is not 2 then you could open the email with a different mail application or you could save the raw email to a file and try to use python or other tools to extract the content. Check out http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.html for details on extracting MIME from email messages or simply look at http://docs.python.org/lib/module-base64.html for info on decoding the attachment after you've manually extracted the encoded text from the file. Hope that's at least a little bit of help, e. I ain'tt gonna be back to my own PC for the rest of the weekend so some of the study work requires me to decode the attachments.

It's a small todo list/task manager, written in Python using wxPython. It does much, perhaps all, of what you're looking for, and it's open source. You might be able to take it and either use it as-is, or modify it to meet your needs.

Re: [Tutor] Converting binary file date into a file?
Many email clients encode attachments in base-64. I think there are standard modules in python which should be able to decode this.

Re: [Tutor] Programming Ideas, need some focus
I'll second that. It's quite an interesting mental gymnastics challenge, and will get you familiar with a lot of the modules. They also have helpful forums for when you get stuck.
