[Tutor] user agent
I'm trying to force the user agent in a python login script... My
question is what are the possible user agents I can specify and how do I
print the user agent at the end of the script so I know that it was
accurately saved. Here is the first bit of my code.
Any suggestions?

Re: [Tutor] please explain this error
Hello Herold! I have three ideas what you could do: - Try to run the script on the server. Maybe even take NFS down while running the script. Or as a variation, run the script in a directory which is on the local disk. It seems the script is confused by some specific behavior of NFS. (There is at least some hope that the script once worked for its author.) - Email the script's author about the bug and ask him for advice. Put an error report into the script's Bugzilla if one exists. - Try to understand the script and fix it. Kind regards, Eike. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Where Does the DOS Window Come From?
"Wayne Watson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote When it's executed the expected GUI appears along with a DOS window. Occasionally, I think, I've seen something put in the DOS window. The DOS window is the XP Command prompt execution environment as used by the python interpreter,. Its where the stdin, stdout and stderr streams appear by default.

How do I stop it from appearing and how do I find why it's used? To stop it appearing you need to run pythonw instead of python and the easiest way to do that is change the extension from .py to .pyw OTOH you may find it convenient for debugging to keep the DOS window until everything is working as a place for debug/test print statements to appear.

Re: [Tutor] Where Does the DOS Window Come From?
Title: Signature.html Well, the responses above pretty well clear that up. As far as I can tell, the program uses print exactly once. At this point, I have no idea why. It looks like it's bring to the attention of the user that something has gone wrong finding a centroid. However, the message is so non-descript, it looks useless. if total == 0: print "Count: %d Total: %d" % (count,total) return 361,244,0,0 Possibly it was left behind by mistake.

Steve,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes. The python program is or was keeping the file open.. This is
failing at the commit stage of the program, in checking in the svn data.
So how do I go about fixing this?
Any help and insight is appreciated.

The problem here is with NFS, really. The .nfs files
are how the NFS system handles the case where files are deleted on the
fileserver but still open on a client. (Under Unix, a file can still be
open and all its data accessed even if
deleted from the filesystem... it won't *really* go away
until it's closed, too. But NFS doesn't represent that case well so a
temporary filename is used.)
Unless your Python program is what's holding the offending
file(s) open... any idea what's keeping the file in use?

Re: [Tutor] WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FILTER AND REDUCE FUNCTION
Warning: this is going to look *a lot* better if you view it in a fixed-width font so things line up properly. Both functions apply a function to a list of values, but they do so in different ways. filter() applies a function to each element of a list in turn, returning a new list containing only those elements from the original list for which the function returned True (when given the element as the function argument). In effect, it "filters" a list, like a physical filter would allow some particles to pass and catch others. Only those elements meeting a certain criteria pass through the filter. def is_odd(i): return i%2 != 0 a = [1, 2, 3, 4] b = filter(is_odd, a) b now contains [1, 3] The same thing could be done using lambda instead of defining a named function, of course: a = [1, 2, 3, 4] b = filter(lambda i: i%2!=0, a) The reduce() function does something quite different. It reduces a list of values to a single result by repeatedly applying the result of the transformation to the next one, adding a new element each time. This way you get a cumulative effect. The most obvious example of such a function (to me, anyway) is a factorial function. n! = 1*2*3*4*...*n So you could implement the factorial function in Python using iteration, like this: def factorial(n): result = 0 for i in range(1,n+1): result *= i return result But we could also do this with reduce(), given a list of integers to multiply: def product(x, y): return x * y a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] b = reduce(product, a) b is now 720. What this will do is to start with the first two elements of a, and pass them to the product() function, then pass the result of that operation along with the next element to the product() function again, and so on until it has reduced the list to a single result: a =[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] product(1, 2) | | | | -> 2 product(2, 3) | | | -> 6 product(6, 4) | | -> 24 product(24, 5) | -> 120 product(120, 6) -> 720 or in other words, this computes (1*2)*3)*4)*5)*6) = 720 So our factorial function could have been implemented like this using reduce: def factorial(n): return reduce(lambda x,y: x*y, range(1,n+1)) HTH HAND steve ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
