[CODE] - Python Newcomer Starting with Coding

2006-03-21 Thread Ilias Lazaridis 
Where can I find practical coding examples for real life coding problems?

Something like a categorized solution guide?

-

My current problem:

* create a folder
   * seems to be: os.mkdir(path)

* obtain the path of a python package

* copy the content of the package folder to the created folder

alternatively (which would possibly preserve the file-attributes)

* obtain the path of a python package

* copy the content of the package folder to the destination folder, 
whlist giving a new name.

I've looked in the Python 2.4 documentation, but the resulting 
possibilities are too much.

Any suggestions welcome.

Probably in real life code ?-)

Look for the Python cookbook (google is your friend).

I wouldn't even count this as a coding problem, except perhaps for a
total CS newbie.

 * obtain the path of a python package

import package
print package.__file__

 * copy the content of the package folder to the created folder

import shutil
help(shutil.copytree)

This sounds quite a lot like PLEAC.  It certainly contains a lot that
you would find useful.

http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_python/index.html

Also, try using the python-tutor list.  It's a lot more helpful for
questions like these.

Try using the Path module.  It makes all that stuff much easier:

yes, this looks like the resource I was looking for.

I've subscribed via gmane's nntp:

news://news.gmane.org:119/gmane.comp.python.tutor

will take a close look to this list.

 My current problem:

looks very intresting.

for now I am limited to the standard library.

but I will for sure take a deeper look in near future.

Try the first hit from google rather than the third.
