convert integer to string
I have already import string from string import * but I can not still convert an integer to string str(42) Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#20, line 1, in module str(42) TypeError: 'module' object is not callable What is it wrong?

How I can draw the grid lines at intervals with step=1?
Hi I am trying to draw a step (or staircase) function. My points are all integers. I would like that the grid lines help to identify the limits of each line, but when I draw the grid, it is set each 5 units. How can I draw the grid lines at intervals with step=1? Thanks for your help in advance Regards Andres -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
How can I verify if the content of a variable is a list or a string?
Hi, I'm writing a function which receive a list which elements are strings or new lists (sublists) containing strings. How can I verify if sone element of the list (which is contained in a variable) is a list or a string? I found the method isinstance(object,class) but I don't know which class should I use for.

The usual way to do this sort of thing would be to run the program directly from the command line, and terminate it when you're done. Is there a particular reason for wanting to import it that way? Chris Angelico Thus you are developing a module in python. Just use module_name_v??? in those experiments.

There is nothing to do. it is usually trivial to redefine state-free functions, you just need to copy and paste the new code into the shell. yes, I am already using that, but I thought that maybe there were a more elegant way. In Prolog, you just have to reload the code and nothing happens with the global variables Redefining a class is a bit more complicated, while you can redefine a class by the same technique (copy pasting the new class definition to the shell), it will not modify the class definition for existing instances of that class. Worst comes to worst, you could end up with a list of instances where half of the items come from the old definition and the other half from the new definition. I tried to use classes but I got not good results so I left it for a while If your global data are only of native types (e.g. list, dict, int, float), then you usually can safely carry your data between redefinitions; up to now, I am just using native types (e.g. list, dict, int, float). How can I carry my data between redefinitions? copying and pasting the new code into the shell? OK, that I am doing if you have objects in your global data that you want to preserve, you need to be really careful not to confuse instances from old definitions with instances from new definitions. yes, I understand that Also, reload() will reload a module with the new definition, but it does not touch existing function definitions in the global namespace; therefore if you want to use reload(), you probably should avoid from ... import ... (if you want to import module functions into your global namespace, then you'll need to reimport them after you reload the module). So here's the gotchas to be aware of when reloading modules: 1. import is cached, if you want to reimport a changed module you have to call reload() 2. reload does not modify anything in existing global namespace, if you have imported functions/class definition to your global namespace, you will need to reimport them after reloading. 3. be careful if you mix instances made from old definitions with instances made from new definitions, python does not modify the class definition of existing instances 4. be careful when reloading functions that have function attributes. The same caution applies when reloading class that have class attributes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
a little help
Hi, I am new using Python, although I have experience using other programming languages like Pascal, FORTRAN, C, Prolog, etc. I am using IDLE Editor for Python in coordination with the command line interface. My situation is the following: I am developing some code. I use the IDLE Editor to write it down. Then, I save it and import it from the command line interface, so it is already available from the prompt. Then I load (read) some data from files using that code. Let suppose that after that I make some changes in the code using again the IDLE Editor, save the program code, and…what else? The updated code is not already available from the command line interface. If I run the module, I lose the data already loaded (and it is a big amount). If I re-import it, the new code is not available Any suggestion? Thanks Andres -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Is it possible? That's normal with Python, yes. Usually you'll find that it's more hassle than it's worth to try to modify code live like that; even in languages specifically designed with this feature in mind, there's a lot to keep track of. It may be worth writing your program to take a snapshot of current state (eg with the pickle module); this might be easier than re-parsing a complicated input data set. But that can be a lot of bother too, and usually in the end it's just not worthwhile.
