Re: integer = 1 == True and integer.0 == False is bad, bad, bad!!!
i had once considered you one of the foremost intelligent minds within this group. However, after your display within this thread i am beginning to doubt my original beliefs of you. Oh ... grow a spine already, really. I can't help but thinking of the spineless Robert Ford every time you open your mouth @rantingrick : these comments among others fail to meet the standard of engagement expected of, and traditional to, this list. Take a breath, get some sleep and come back with a level head and a civil tongue. If you have any valid point to make at all, your attitude so far has failed to make it credible, and nor will it enable you to enlist supporters. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Web development with Python 3.1
Anyway, for simple web programming, frameworks are not worth the hassle. Just use the cgi module. I can vouch for what Paul says. I started in Python 3 years ago, and I did so with a web application (still working on it!). I'm using the cgi approach, and it certainly teaches you the concepts. I fail to see how starting with a framework is a good idea if you don't know how the frameworks work (or what they're actually doing). It would be a bit like doing a web page in Dreamw***er and thinking you understand HTML/CSS. B -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: IDE for python similar to visual basic
The interface really should be configurable by the user according to their needs. The code doesn't need to *know* the position or dimensions of a widget, or its label or colour or spacing, let alone dictate them. Perhaps...but the user needs a framework in order to understand the functions they find themselves in charge of once they've initiated a program. As the designer, the programmer is best placed to provide that framework, because they know, or they should know, what it is (something I don't think can be taken for granted). Therefore, fundamental decisions about the UI should be left to the programmer. If customisation is possible, all well and good, but it should not be the main goal of a UI. Usability principles should be. In most cases, the code shouldn't even get to dictate that specific widgets even exist. Rather, it should provide actions which can be bound to buttons, menu items and/or accelerators as the user chooses. That would be an API. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Getting cookie expires value
Hi there,
My web application uses a cookie to set/get a session id. This is
working fine. However, I'm unable to work out how to get the cookie
expires value.
Below is test code that replicates the problem. It creates a simple
web page and shows a cookie value if it's found, or creates a new one
(correctly setting the expires value) and indicates that it was
created:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import Cookie,os
def printHeader():
print Content-type: text/html\n
print htmltitleCookie test/title
print body
cookies=Cookie.SimpleCookie(os.environ.get('HTTP_COOKIE'))
if cookies.has_key('test'):
#If cookie was found:
printHeader()
print Found cookie:br/br/
#Get cookie:
c = cookies.get('test')
#Print its value:
print divValue: %s/div % c.value
#Iterate through its items and print name/value:
for k,v in c.items():
print div%s=%s/div % (k,v)
else:
#Define cookie:
cookies['test'] = 1234
cookies['test']['expires'] = 3600
#Save cookie:
print cookies['test']
#Now print HTML:
printHeader()
print Cookie created.
print /body/html
This is what I get if the cookie exists:
Found cookie:
Value: 1234
comment=
domain=
secure=
expires=
max-age=
version=
path=
As you can see, the cookie attributes are valueless. Can anyone help?
Am I missing something fundamental?
Cheers,
Brendon

Re: need to start a new project , can python do all that ?
Python is a programming language, and like practically any programming language it can do all those things. I'm not sure your requirements are based on a full understanding of the implications. A health care center' cannot be made with a few drag and drop, plug and play modules that you manipulate within a GUI. For example, importing pathology results: there is no international standard for how such results should be formed. You will need to ask the suppliers of the results to work out how they're going to give it to you. And they will all be different. You will most likely need a firm understanding of HL7 v2 and 3, XML, XSL (and probably web services) etc. In terms of cross platform, in the health context it's pointless being anything other than a web application (IMHO). Cheers, Brendon 2009/4/15 Deep_Feelings doctore...@gmail.com: I want to start programming a new program (electronic health care center) in python and before start learning python i wanna make sure that python does have all the features i need to accomplish this project so i wanna ask you does python able to support these features : 1- cross platform (windows + linux) 2- mysql database access 3- 2D graphs (curves) 4- support of international languages 5- can access a scanner and input pictures from it. and possibly be able to import data from labratory machines (such as CBC machines) to automatically register patient investigations result into the system (not mandatory) so can python (with any freely available libraries) do all that and still be cross platform ? thankx in advance :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: What IDE support python 3.0.1 ?
On IDE's, I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help because I don't use them. I prefer to use a decent editor (Emacs in my case, others have their own preferences) and run my scripts from the command line. That said, IDLE (which comes packaged with Python) is a perfectly decent little IDE. It's surprising how little you really need given the flexibility and immediacy of working with Python. I agree, no IDE needed. Just don't use Notepad! I'm on Mac, so spoiled for choice of text editors, but I'm sure there's one or 2 good uns if you're on Windows. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: python for loop
Since when should a machine (that's what a computer is after all), be forced to contort itself into something that is capable of reflecting the laws of physical matter? Better perhaps to look at it from another angle - it's counter-intuitive to think that the digital should mirror the analogue. The digital can *virtualise* the real world, but it doesn't do that by *working like* the real world. It's not theory, it's actually what it is. 2009/4/1 Lada Kugis lada.ku...@gmail.com: On Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:29:56 -0700, Chris Rebert c...@rebertia.com wrote: Sort of, but it's *really* not idiomatic. You'd have to declare the arrays to be one longer than they actually are so that array[N] is a valid index. And then you'd end up not using the true first element of the array. Not to mention most library functions use 0-numbering, so you'd have to work around that as well. So, it can be done, but you're going against the grain of the language. I use fortran libraries, so that is not a problem for me. I only make the change once, while transferring the elements ... uhmm, make that twice. I wrote in my other post, 0 is weird to me, I have model of solution on paper ... if I keep 0 then all comes out different. And while comparing, I always get them mixed up. That's why I always try to adapt it to the paper situation. Lada Cheers, Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Accessing shell output from HTTP
Hi there,
I would like users of my web application to be able to download a backup
file of a database (using* *MySQL's *mysqldump* command).
My strategy is to use *zipfile* to create a zip file object (with the *
mysqldump* output as the contents of the zipped file) and then use *
sys.stdout* to send the zip file object to the user as a file for them
download.
The zipping bit and file delivery is all sorted. Getting the output from *
mysqldump* is my problem and I'm not even sure (given that, as I understand
it, it's an asynchronous call to shell via an HTTP thread) it is even
possible.
This is as far as I've got:
import subprocess as sp
p1 = sp.Popen('mysqldump --opt
--user=[username]--password=[password]
[databasename]',stdout=sp.PIPE,shell=True)
backupfile=p1.communicate()[0]
If I type the above into a Python prompt and print *backupfile* I will get
the expected result, but when I'm going through CGI (the script, called from
a web browser, is supposed to capture the output into the variable) nothing
is being returned by communicate().
Is this possible? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Cheers,
Brendon
