Coercing one object to type of another
Hi
Inside a function i get a two arguments, say arg1 and arg2, how can i convert
arg2 to same type as arg1 ?
I dont know type of arg1 or arg2 for that matter, I just want to convert arg2
to type of arg1 if possible and handle the exception if raised.
Also:
int('2')
2
float('2.0')
2.0
coerce(2,2.0)
(2.0,2.0)
but coerce('2',2) fails.If int('2') equals 2, why should it fail ?

You can get the type of any object, and call that:
def coerce(changeme,tothis):
return type(tothis)(changeme)

well it will always return me this:
type 'str'
what i want is if i know arg1 is of string type(and it can be of any type, say
list, int,float) and arg2 is of any type, how can i convert it to type of arg1,
if arg1='hello world', type(arg1).__name__ will give me 'str', can i use this
to convert my arg2 to this type, w/o resorting to if-elif conditions as there
will be too many if-elif-else and it doesn really sounds a great idea !
thanks

Python Learning Environment
Hi, My Linux box is ubuntu system. I want to create a development environment on my system for python programing language. I got to see there are two versions of python language 1. python 2.5.6 2. python 3.1.2 To find out what version i look in to my /usr/bin folder. There are many entries for python command - python - python2 - python2.5 - python2.6 - python3 - python3.1 what does this mean? I am able to run run my first program with all these command. should i remove all these and have the latest one? I am confused about these finding. Is this okay to have these all?

Thanks friend, Got the point.

So what should I do for a clever developer environment? Should I change that python link to python3 or python3.1? Regards, Vijay Shanker Dubey It all depends on what you want to do. I would say that you shouldn't change your python link at all, if you want to run a python script using 3.1 just call the script using python3 as an interpreter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
