Re: Finding non ascii characters in a set of files

If you're planning a one-time scan of a directory for non-ASCII characters in files, so that you can manually fix those files up, then this Perl one-liner will do the trick. At the command line, type: perl -ne 'print "$ARGV:$.\n" if /[\x80-\xFF]/;' * This will print out a list of files that contain non-ASCII characters, and the line numbers which those characters appear on. Note this also operates on binary files like images, etc, so you may want to be more specific with the wildcard. e.g.: perl -ne 'print "$ARGV:$.\n" if /[\x80-\xFF]/;' *.py *.txt *.*htm* -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact Geek of ~ HTML/SQL/Perl/PHP/Python*/Apache/Linux * = I'm getting there! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You discovered wrong -- Google does not provide a free newsserver. They no doubt *have* several newsservers, but don't provide direct access to them either free, or for a fee. They only provide a web interface to access the contents of their newsservers, with a fraction of the features that a real newsreader would. You seem to already have a newsreader -- you're using Opera, which includes a fairly good one, hidden away in the Hotlist/Panels/whatever- they're-calling-it-today. Other newsreaders I'd recommend are PAN and Forte Agent. So you just need a server. "pubnews.gradwell.net" still seems to exist -- it's free. Alternatively, "news.individual.net" offers a good service for a fairly low yearly cost. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact Geek of ~ HTML/CSS/Javascript/SQL/Perl/PHP/Python*/Apache/Linux * = I'm getting there! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Writing "pythonish" code

By convention, class members starting with a single underscore are considered private. This is much the same as the convention that on UNIX, files that start with a dot are considered hidden -- there is nothing actually *preventing* a programme from showing you these files in a directory listing, but by convention it won't, unless you explicitly ask to see them. Class members starting with a double underscore are "mangled" which makes it more difficult for other code (even subclasses!) to access the member. Difficult though -- not impossible. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact Geek of ~ HTML/CSS/Javascript/SQL/Perl/PHP/Python*/Apache/Linux * = I'm getting there! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

(Indeed a typical network-connected computer will tend to have at least one for each connected network device, plus the special address 127.0.0.1 for the loopback network.) How is Python supposed to know which IP address you want? If you don't care which address, the code supplied by Adam should work. If you do care, then you'll probably need to write OS-specific code for each platform you choose to support, probably parsing the output of ipconfig (Windows) or ifconfig (Linux/UNIX/Mac) somehow. Adam also says: | If you are wanting to to communicate over the internet you will have | to get the IP of you rounter. Not strictly true, but if your network uses NAT, and you want some host outside your network to be able to *connect to you*, then yes, you need the IP address of your router. If you're not using NAT, then you shouldn't need to worry about your router, as IP addresses alone provide full end-to-end routing.
