Re: (n)curses or tcl/tk?

If you want to use curses on windows with python you need to install WCurses first. Other then that it is very portable. After you get used to it curses is also quite easy to use, however tk has a more features. Depends on what you want to do. I would have used curses in your position because it is easy to use (although tk is no rocket science either) and I like apps that can run on a terminal emulator.

Re: apache mod_python problem
Hi Graham, thank you for that link but it didn't help. I've followed the instructions, yet In the 'basic-content-handler' section, after getting to the point where it says to add this to the main Apache configuration file: Directory /some/directory AllowOverride FileInfo /Directory I replaced /some/directory with the correct directory and restarted apache2 and stilll get the same response - firwfox asks to save the response to a file. Does it matter where in the apache2 configuration file I've located these 3 lines? I've just added them at the end, just before the last line: /VirtualHost Thank you in advance, Ido. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

apache mod_python problem
Hi all, I have succesfully installed apache+mod_python (ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy), libapache2-mod-python2.4 Version: 3.1.3-3ubuntu1, apache2 Version: 2.0.54-5ubuntu4, python2.4 Version: 2.4.2-1). It seems apache and everything functions fine. I tried to run the example application from the mod_python site (http://www.modpython.org/examples/psp_site.tgz) by decompressing the tgz file in a place where apache can find it, and then access it via mozilla firefox (simply http://127.0.0.1/psp_site/ where 'psp-site' is the name of the directory.) However, instead of running the index.py page like it shoud, I just get the list of files, as in: Index of /psp_site Icon NameLast modified Size Description[DIR] Parent Directory - [TXT] PyFontify.py15-Feb-2006 23:02 4.3K [DIR] images/ 15-Feb-2006 23:02- [TXT] index.py15-Feb-2006 23:02 3.4K [ ] index.pyc 15-Feb-2006 23:02 4.1K [TXT] py2html.py 15-Feb-2006 23:02 13K [DIR] styles/ 15-Feb-2006 23:02- [DIR] templates/ 15-Feb-2006 23:02- [TXT] view.py 15-Feb-2006 23:02 726 and clicking any of the .py files just opens the 'open/save' menu. The .htaccess file contains: SetHandler mod_python PythonHandler mod_python.publisher PythonDebug On everything is exactly as it is on http://www.modpython.org/examples/;, I didn't change anything. Anyone has any idea as to what went wrong? Thank you in advance, Ido Yehieli. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

SLUT distibution mangled?
Hi, I was trying to download and install the latest SLUT (0.9.0) from http://slut.sourceforge.net/download/index.html and it seems both the zip and the tar.gz files are corrupted - the directory aux and the files within can not be extracted (using windows BTW). This happened with both the zip _and_ the tar.gz file. The strange thing is: even when I'm trying to create a directory 'aux' by myself it is not possible! Anyone here ever encountered this problem? Thank you in advance, Ido Yehieli. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: SLUT distibution mangled?

Is this idea absurd or will one day our children think that restricting to 7-bit ascii was absurd?

Re: Redirecting standard out in a single namespace
I'm sorry, but i don't see how this will solve the problem? It is exactly the same, only now you've replaced everything in sys except just sys.stdout? At any rate, perhapse the code you will write will be more maintainable if instead of redirecting sys.stdout for some of the code just use a different function (instead of print) for the times where you wish it to be redirected somewhere else? it will probably make your code longer, but the maintainer will have one less gotcha to worry about a few months/years down the road. perhapse it is best to not do the clever thing this time ;-) ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: how to stop info output on screen
maybe you can try replaceing sys.stdout and/or sys.stderr with a just a simple file? then everything will be written to that file instead of desplayed on the console. Cheers, Ido. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: how to stop info output on screen
more on the subject: your print statments will also be written to
that file that sys.stdout directs to, so maybe that wasn't exactly the
solution you wanted to hear.
ok, not the nicest solution but maybe it will help you anyway:
bind sys.stdout at the begining of the program to a file (don't forget
to save it first! let's say stdout = sys.stdout;
sys.stdout=file('myLogFile.dat','w') ), and write your own print
funktion that goes something like that:
def printToConsole(stringToPrint,oldStdOut):
sys.stdout=oldStdOut
print stringToPrint
sys.stdout=file('myLogFile.dat','w')
then when you want to print to the console, use this function instead
of the print statment. all the rest will go to 'myLogFile.dat'
Cheers,
Ido.

where to post python code?
Hi all, i have written a small python game (about 300 lines of code) that i think other people might enjoy poking around (being a python programmer for the past 4 years or so (some of it professionally) I believe I could say it's not badly written either). the question it - where should i post the code to? It's not big enough to justify a source forge project, nor is it small enough to be considered a receipt fit for ASPN's Python Cookbook. it's a scorched earth clone by the way - and is completely playable (although without AI - only human multiplayer). It is probably among the shortest of the moderately enjoyable multiplayer python games that I've encountered... Cheers, Ido. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
