When writing text. . .
Hey I'm pretty new to python and I have a question. I'm trying to write:"[BOOT]run=C:\windows\aawin.bat"in my win.iniSo I went about it like this:win = open('C:\windows\win.ini', 'a')
win.write('[BOOT]')win.write('\n')win.write('run=C:\windows\aawin.bat')I expected that to work, but instead of C:\windows\aawin.bat I get run=C:\windowsawin.bat. . .I assume /a is a code for like /n is for a newline, is there a way to fix this?

Alright this is kind of a continuation of a past conversation. . .But not really. Anyway, heres the problem. Say I had this:

to catch when people just press enter by mistake without selecting
something from the menu. But the thing is how would I make that loop?

and over [there are some weird people out there ;)] I tryed this but to
no avail:

x = input("> "). . .Any suggestions?Thanks in advance,-Ivan

Alright heres another noob question for everyone. Alright, say I have a
menu like this.
print "1. . .Start"
print "2. . .End"
choice1 = raw_input("> ")
and then I had this to determine what option.
if choice1 in ('1', 'Start', 'start'):
#do first option
if choice1 in ('2', 'End', 'end'):
#do second option
Is there a way (I searched for a module but didnt find one) that I can do
something like this?
if choice1 in ('1', 'S', 's'):
#do first option
if choice1 in ('2', 'E', 'e'):
#do second option
For instance I could type in Stop and would get the first option since it
had an "s" in it?
Anyone heard of any way to do this?

Quick and dirty:
import os
os.system('./some --command')
More robust: Use the subprocess module.

RE: A question about time
From: Jan Danielsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: python-list@python.org
Subject: A question about time
Date: Thu, 09 Jun 2005 22:58:17 +0200
Hello all,
I have a list of servers which an application connects to. If the
connection fails, the application should mark the server as temporarily
unavailable, and should try to use the server again after x units of time.
In C, I would do this:
server.invalidUntil = time(NULL) + 5*60; // five minute delay
..and the check:
if(time(NULL) > server.invalidUtil)
{
// use server
}
So the whole thing very simple... But how do I do that in Python?
I have found datetime.datetime.now(), but I don't understand what
"format" it returns the time in. I assume it's an object of some sort..
But how do I do if I want the current time as an integer (unix
timestamp) in Python?
---
Heres the time module link, use a combination of the modules to get the
complete time. Use time.sleep() to sleep for a certain amount of SECONDS.
Not minutes. So:
from sleep import time
sleep(5)
would have the program or script stop and wait for 5 seconds. I hope this
was what your were asking for, I didn't quite get the question.

[tim williams]> No it definitely works, but Hotmail will blackhole your
constructed email as it is obviously fake. It has no headers, dates,
msg-id etc.
[tim williams]> View the source of a real email in your mail client,
then
cut & paste the whole thing into your message variable like this
msg = ''' '''
[tim williams]> you should remove the " % (frm, subject, to, body) " at
the end of the msg string
[tim williams]> for correctness, you also need an " s.rset() " in
between
each " s.sendmail " (but the script does work in its current form)
[tim williams]> HTH :)
Im good with everything except viewing the source. . .Do you mean the html
source? Because I use hotmail, and not outlook or thunderbird or something
like that. Sorry, i'm a noob.

Perhaps try the sys.exitfunc or atexit modules:
exitfunc
This value is not actually defined by the module, but can be set by the user
(or by a program) to specify a clean-up action at program exit. When set, it
should be a parameterless function. This function will be called when the
interpreter exits. Only one function may be installed in this way; to allow
multiple functions which will be called at termination, use the atexit
module. Note: The exit function is not called when the program is killed by
a signal, when a Python fatal internal error is detected, or when os._exit()
is called.
Deprecated since release 2.4. Use atexit instead.
heres the link
Hope it helps,
-Ivan

RE: identifying 64-bit Windows from 2.3.5?
From: Steven Knight <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: python-list@python.org
Subject: identifying 64-bit Windows from 2.3.5?
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2005 23:51:15 -0400 (EDT)
If I have installed 2.3.5 from the python.org Windows installer, can
any one point me to a run-time way to identify whether I'm running on
a 32-bit vs. 64-bit version of Windows XP, given that Python itself was
built on/for a 32-bit system?
I hoped sys.getwindowsversion() was the answer, but it returns the same
platform value (2) on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. sys.platform
("win32") and sys.maxint are both set at compile time. Things like
os.uname() aren't on Windows.
Can some Windows-savvy Pythonista point me to some way to distinguish
between these two?
Thanks,
--SK

I really don't think it matters too much which one you have, I have 64 bit
and it works fine.
