Re: config files in python
Thanks for various useful suggestions. actually right now I am using conf files only in psp handler of mod_python/apache but I have other processes which might use same config files. One way is I can put conf related data directly in database and database handling module can directly pickup values from db. but the problem with that approach is that it is difficult in managing changes from version control system.as I need to explicitly create DB scripts to put it in version control and other devs require them run those scripts. but if I put those conf params in files it would be easy for me to change params and useful for other developers to integrate those changes in their dev environments without doing any explicit ops. here I would like to have python file which read conf from text file and load those params in current process space. so only importing that python file should read up the conf file and load the current process with configurable parameters. I thought this would be good way to do it, rather than getting involved in slightly complicted reload mechanisms of python modules?

config files in python
Hi, In my application, I have some configurable information which is used by different processes. currently I have stored configration in a conf.py file as name=value pairs, and I am importing conf.py file to use this variable. it works well import conf print conf.SomeVariable but if I need to change some configuration parameteres, it would need me to restart processes. I want to store this data in some conf file (txt) and would like to use it same way as I am using these variables as defined in py files. one solution I can think of is writing data as a dictionary into conf file. and then by reading data, apply eval on that data. and update local dict? but this is not a good solution any pointers?

Re: Problem with parsing email message with extraneous MIME information
I think I faced same problem quite sometime back... but in our case, due to some settings in Microsoft outlook , forwarded emails were also coming as an attachment to email. so That attachement itself has same format as email's format, so to get information from attachment we needed to treat attachment as a email to parse it. can you send me some full email file? it will help to analyze problem.. sandip On Dec 21, 6:22 pm, Steven Allport [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am working on processing eml email message using the email module (python 2.5), on files exported from an Outlook PST file, to extract the composite parts of the email.

I don't know, I don't get column names. It looked like from your example that you can use names, I would have to use indexes, such as results[3][2] to get 'creations'. Maybe MySQL returns dictionaries instead of tuples. I was curious to see what the data looked like but I can't seem to print result from the prompt. Do variables used inside functions live or die once the function executes? Yeah, they die. You would have to have the function return the resultslistand indx, then you could use it's contents as criteria for further queries. So you might want to say name_find_results,indx = name_find(namefrag) If they die, how do I get around this? Add 'return results,indx' to the function. Or better still, just return the record the user selected return results[indx] You wouldn't need indx anymore since there's only 1 record. I tried defining 'r = ' in the module before the function and then using it instead of result but that didn't help.
