Re: Favorite flavor of Linux? (for python or anything else)
another vote for Gentoo. It's my production/main OS now. On 4 Dec 2005 23:21:55 -0800, malv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In theory, this would do. I have tried this several times in the pastand found it very impractical to have to live with two Python versionson the same system, given that Python, like also Perl, is used by somany components. I may have done many things wrong but experience taught me to better simplify things and live with one python versiononly. It mainly depends on the (huge amount of) time you can afford tostraighten out avoidable problems.I must say that since python 2.3 and 2.4 I never tried dual setupsanymore. Indeed, Debian would be my preferred distro if it weren't forpython 2.3.malv--http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
what's wrong with lambda x : print x/60,x%60
Dear All, Can't a lambda uses the input parameter more then once in the lambda body? eg: lambda x : print x/60,x%60 I tried with def and it works but got syntax error with lambda.

without the print also gives me error:- lambda_hrs = lambda x : x/60,x%60 Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in ?

Re: python speed
I did a small test some time ago and I think python is faster then java: http://linuxlah.blogspot.com/2005/11/swap-speed-for-python-c-c-and-java.html On 11/30/05, Krystian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hiare there any future perspectives for Python to be as fast as java? iwould like to use Python as a language for writing games.best regardskrystian-- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list-- And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Hot to split string literals that will across two or more lines ?
I tried to use this method in my code like this:- - #!/usr/bin/python def print_sql(): sql = '''aaa bbb'''.replace(\n,) print sql print_sql() - the ouput of this is spacetab.. I can always do this :- - #!/usr/bin/python def print_sql(): sql = '''aaa bbb'''.replace(\n,) print sql print_sql() - but it looks ugly On 11/22/05, Mohammad Jeffry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 11/22/05, Paul McGuire [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Or for a large literal string:lots of text hundreds of characters long more text on another line but we really don't want any line breaksin our final stringso we replace newlines in this multiline stringwith an empty string thus.replace('\n','') -- Paul I love your method.

Would cgi be the only option if my webhosting doesn't have psp, zpt, cheetah or mod_python?
If an webhosting doen't have these feature. Can I install them ? Any experiences on this? I'm assuming that asking the webhosting system admin. to install these framworks in not an option for now.-- And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
