Accessing MDB files on Windows
Hi, What is the best way to deal with MDB files? I was thinking on using ODBC... I'll need to read and write some information to it. The load won't be so high, but there might be a lot of data.

Updating file objects automatically
Hi,
I have the following situation where I only open the file on the Search
class (where it should be used more often) and I want to reutilize search
methods to find the exact location of where the changes should occur. In
code terms, I have something like:
===
class Search(object):
def __init__(self, fileToRead):
self.fileToRead = open(fileToRead)
(definition of several search methods)
class Writer(Search):
def __init__(self, fileToRead, fileToWrite=None):
super(Writer, self).__init__(fileToRead)
super(Search, self).__init__(fileToRead)
(definition of write methods)
def exampleMethod(self):
place = self.searchSomeParticularCondition() # method from
Search
place.change.values('old', 'new')
self.fileToRead.write(all_things) # object from Search
search = Search('someFile')
print "Information:", search.something()
change = Writer('someFile')
change.exampleMethod()
# here if I do another search, with "search.something('id')" I get the old
# value ...
print search.something('id') # prints old data
# ... I want the new one, so I reassign the search instance:
search = Search('someFile')
print search.something('id') # prints new data
===
Is there something I can do to change all instances of the Search class?
Are there different alternatives for such a "thing"?
Thanks in advance,

Things are kind weird at this point, since there are too many things to think about and to make a decision on what should be done and what is recommended to be done... Quoting from http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.html: """ (...) Designing for inheritance (...) Also decide whether your attributes should be private or not. The difference between private and non-public is that the former will never be useful for a derived class, while the latter might be. Yes, you should design your classes with inheritence in mind! (...) """ So, I don't really know which is correct: to always call the constructor of the parent class or just do that when it is needed by design... I think that based on the above quotation from PEP-0008 code in the standard library should be calling the parent class constructor. But then, I'm one of the people who never do that :-) -- Godoy. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
