I've been meaning to look into this library for interfacing with
Mozilla's spidermonkey javascript engine:
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/python-spidermonkey/
It sounds like it might do what you want, but I'm not sure how much
work it would require.

Here's a quick and dirty script I use this for email testing purposes
- it's windows specific, but that's easy enough to change.
import smtpd, os, time, asyncore
class mailserver(smtpd.SMTPServer):
def __init__(self):
smtpd.SMTPServer.__init__(self, ('',25), None)
print 'Mailsink listening on port 25'
def process_message(self, peer, mailfrom, rcpttos, data):
basepath='c:\\.maildump'
print 'mail from: %s to: %s' %(mailfrom, repr(rcpttos))
for rcpt in rcpttos:
rcpt = rcpt.split('@')[0]
try:
os.mkdir(basepath+'\\'+rcpt)
except OSError:
pass
f =
file(basepath+'\\'+rcpt+'\\'+mailfrom+time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'),
'w')
f.write(data)
f.close()
def loop ():
x = mailserver()
try:
asyncore.loop(timeout=2)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print'interrupt'
x.close()
if __name__=='__main__':
loop()

Playing with
data = n.article('116431')[3]
and email.message_from_string, there seems to be a problem with the
content type being split up. I was able to get a multipart message by
using
msg = email.message_from_string('\n'.join(data).replace(';\n', ';'))
(and adding an ending boundary to your sample data).
This is a bit hackish and could cause problems if there are
semicolons inside the message body (no warranties expressed or
implied, etc.)
Hope this helps,
-Dave

If the last '4' will not always be the last character in the string,
you could do:
'X'.join(s.rsplit('4',1))

Hi, Leon,
For putting the columns together zip is your friend. Let me lay out an example:
# get your text and strip the newlines:
testdata = file('something').read().replace('\n','')
# set some parameters (these are arbitrary, pick what you need)::
colwidth = 35
colheight = 20
numcol = 2
rowperpage = colheight * numcol
# first split into lines (this ignores word boundaries
# you might want to use somehting more like placid posted for this)
data1 = [testdata[x:x+colwidth] for x in range(0,len(testdata),colwidth)]
# next pad out the list to be an even number of rows - this will give
# a short final column. If you want them balanced you're on your own ;)
data1.extend(['' for x in range(rowsperpage - len(data1) % rowsperpage)])
# then split up the list based on the column length you want:
data2 = [data1[x:x+colheight] for x in range(0,len(data1),colheight)]
# then use zip to transpose the lists into columns
pages = [zip(*data2[x:x+numcol]) for x in range(0,len(data2),numcol)]
# finally unpack this data with some loops and print:
for page in pages:
for line in page:
for column in line:
print ' %s ' % column, #<- note the comma keeps newlines out
print '\n'
print '\f'
