PyObject *pModuleName, *pTestModule, *pTestFunc, *pTestResult, *pTestArgs;
PyImport_AppendInittab(node, PyInit_node);
Py_Initialize();

nothing else I know of makes it possible to import modules from
startup directory. So my question is: Is there a prettier way to do
this?
PyRun_SimpleString(import sys\nsys.path.append(\\));
PyRun_SimpleString(import sys\nprint(sys.path));
pModuleName = PyUnicode_FromString(stuff);
pTestModule = PyImport_Import(pModuleName);
Py_DECREF(pModuleName);
if (pTestModule != NULL)
{ ...
The whole code is here: http://pastebin.com/805BSY8f
You only need a file in the same directory called stuff.py containing
a function def for a function called do_stuff

The text is nothing but DNA sequences, and there is a number next to
it. What I will have to do is, ignore those lines that have 0 in it,
and print all other lines (excluding the number) in a new text file
(in a particular format called as FASTA format). This is the program I
wrote for that:
seq1 = []
list1 = []
lister = []
listers = []
listers1 = []
a = []
d = []
i = 0
j = 0
num = 0
file1 = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')
for line in file1:
if not line.startswith('\n'):
seq1 = line.split()
if len(seq1) == 0:
continue
a = seq1[0]
list1.append(a)
d = seq1[1]
lister.append(d)
b = len(lister)
for j in range(0, b):
if lister[j] == 0:
listers.append(j)
else:
listers1.append(j)
print listers1
resultsfile = open(sequences1.txt, 'w')
for i in listers1:
resultsfile.write('\nseq' + str(i) + '\n' + list1[i] + '\n')
But this isn't working. I am not able to find the bug in this. I would
be thankful if someone could point it out. Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
I'm trying this again:
newlines = []
with open(sys.argv[1], 'r') as f:
text = f.read();
for line in (l.strip() for l in text.splitlines()):
if line:
line_elem = line.split()
if len(line_elem) == 2 and line_elem[1] == '1':
newlines.append('seq'+line_elem[0])
with open(sys.argv[2], 'w') as f:
f.write('\n'.join(newlines))

I'd like to be able to create files somewhere other than my Python folder without having to write the full path in the filename every time.

Re: Is python not good enough?
Every language has it uses and Google obviously thought that it would take more resources to get Python to the level they need it than to start using Go. Python is great for alot of things but it's not perfect for anything. On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 4:09 PM, ikuta liu ikut...@gmail.com wrote: I'm a little confused. Is python not good enough? for google, enhance python performance is the good way better then choose build Go language? Go language try to merge low level, hight level and browser language.

Re: Absolute beginner
In Python 3 the syntax for print has changed to print() so just put braces around the string and you'r good to go!
