[Tutor] Windows Domain Authentication
Dear Tutors, I am about to start on a project that would reuse Windows Domain Authentication over XML-RPC in python. This may involve the rewrite of the XML-RPC client and server. Could someone point me in the right direction so that I can run from there. Cheers, Jacob Abraham __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Tutor] Functional Programming
Also, much as I like python, it's not really suited to functional programming I'd modify that to say its not ideally suited to FP, but an FP style is certainly possible. Pyhon is adequate to learn the principles but it would be nearly impossible to write a real world solution using pure FP in Python. That said, functional programming is fun, and these days probably the best introductions are either SML books or Haskell. Or good old Lisp. And there are lots of good introductory tutorials for Lisp whereas the FP material tends to be very math oriented, if you don't have a strong math background it simply won't make much sense. I also think that having an understanding of functional programming will generally improve someone's code, but I would suggest that learning the ideas in a language where functional programming is the norm rather the exception is a good idea. The come back to python, and learn to undo your recursive instincts! This is good advice if you want more than just an appreciation of the concepts. If you want to try writing a real world application using FP then definitely try Lisp, ML or Haskell. But be prepared for a completely different division of your time over the project, much more time up front thinking about the specification of the problem, much less time debugging the functionality (the same amount of time debugging the detailed code though!)

Could someone point me in the right direction so that I can run from there. I'm not at all sure what you are asking for. Are you writing an XML-RPC system that authenticates clients via Windows Domain Auth, or an authorization server that exposes an XML-RPC API? Do you want to rewrite the XML-RPC client and server from the standard lib? If so the source for them is in C:\Python24\Lib or the equivalent (see xmlrpclib.py and SimpleXMLRPCServer.py).

[Tutor] Windows Domain Authentication
Hi Kent I am trying to write a XML-RPC system that authenticates clients via Windows Domain Auth. I just wanted to know how best to go about doing this, since I come from a Linux background and am not familiar with the win32 API. I've just started looking at named pipes as a possible solution.

[Tutor] Logical Sorting
Hi, I am trying to sort a list of directories that correspond to kernel sources under /usr/src/linux. I wrote some code that gets a list like this: ['linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r4', 'linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r11/', 'linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r7/'] When I sort the list, I want it to go from oldest (lowest version) to newest, so the sorted list should look like this: ['linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r4', 'linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r7/', 'linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r11/'] The problem is that since the built in string comparisons compare character by character, so the sort puts 2.6.16 before 2.6.9, and -r11 before -r7. This is obviously not what I want. My question is: are there any modules or built in methods that will do a logical sort on a list like this, and sort it the way I want, or will I have to write my own sorting function? -- Evan Klitzke P.S. I know that the simplest way is just to use ls to sort by time, but it is not necessarily true that older kernel versions have an older time stamp :-) ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Is implicit underscore assignment documented?
Is implicit underscore assignment documented anywhere? I've seen reference to this, and it seems to be simply that, when Python interactively prints a value in response to a user entering an expression, that value is assigned to the variable _. As far as I can tell, the following transcript shows its workings: ActivePython 2.4.3 Build 12 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on Python 2.4.3 (#69, Apr 11 2006, 15:32:42) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. _ Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in ?

You don't have to write your own sorting function. You do have to write a function that extracts a key from a data item that will sort in the order you want. Here is a version that uses a regular expression to extract the four fields from the data, converts the numbers to integers, and returns a tuple of values that sorts correctly. It works with the data you show but it probably needs tweaks to be more robust, for example it will fail if the version is not three numbers or if the -rxx is missing.
