I.e. you don't need the street name. E.g., my work address has ZIP code 1098 XG and house number 123, so together they indicate that I work at Science Park 123, Amsterdam. In other words, a simple city <-> ZIP mapping is not sufficient. -- Sjoerd Mullender signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: regex question on .findall and \b

Greetings!
My closest to successfull attempt:
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)]
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 0.9.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
In [161]: re.findall('\d+','this is test a3 attempt 79')
Out[161]: ['3', '79']
What I really want in just the 79, as a3 is not a decimal number, but
when I add the \b word boundaries I get:
In [162]: re.findall('\b\d+\b','this is test a3 attempt 79')
Out[162]: []
What am I missing?
~Ethan~
Try this:
>>> re.findall(r'\b\d+\b','this is test a3 attempt 79')
['79']
The \b is a backspace, by using raw strings you get an actual backslash
and b.

Re: Gateway to python-list is generating bounce messages.

Messages you submit to the newsgroup are forwarded to the mailing list. When mail messages bounce, the MTA (Message Transfer Agent--the program that handles mail) *should* send the bounce message to whatever is in the Sender header, and only if that header does not exist, should it use the From header. Messages forwarded by the gateway get a Sender header which points back to the gateway. In other words, if a message gets bounced back to the From address, the MTA does it incorrectly. There is nothing the list administrator can do about it. You can try complaining to the postmaster of the bouncing system, but that's about it. In other words, your question in the first paragraph is already implemented and was implemented from the beginning. It is not the gateway's fault that there are systems that don't follow the standards. -- Sjoerd Mullender, python-list administrator -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This destroys the thread structure. I have no idea. There is no setting in the mailman administration interface that I can see that influences this. Perhaps submit this as a bugreport to mailman? -- Sjoerd Mullender signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If there were a bounce, mailman can determine from the address of the bounce message (the bounce gets sent back to the Sender, not the From) which address bounced. So *all* python-list messages you get have that Sender. In other words, these spams do not come from you. -- Sjoerd Mullender -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
