So why does this work: C:\ myscript.py /temp/myfile /users/fred/desktop or even C:\ \python27\python.exe myscript.py /temp/myfile That works because Windows hands ALL of the argument strings, as-is, with NO interpretation, to the application to deal with. In this case, the application is Python, and Python is going to the extra work to interpret the / characters as \ characters when you try to use them in open() calls and the like. The following suggests otherwise: Note File I/O functions in the Windows API convert / to \ as part of converting the name to an NT-style name, except when using the \\?\ prefix as detailed in the following sections.

Re: [Tutor] create an xls file using data from a txt file
To confirm: Python does *nothing* to convert automatically from one form of path separator to another. Windows from very early on, has accepted /-slashes as path separators to API calls. Where they don't work is: at the command shell itself presumably since slashes are commonly used to introduce options; and, sometimes, the Windows Shell API although I can't lay my hands on an example at the moment. If you were to write something in C to call CreateFile and pass a path such as c:/temp/temp.txt it would work without a problem because the Windows API accepts those kinds of paths.

Hi All, I just joined this list and am really new to python.

The suggestion to do dir(str) was intended as a way to learn about how string objects work in Python, not that it should be used directly in the source code of your solution. For example, dir(str) lists an interesting attribute (in this case a method) called swapcase... now investigating this by doing help(str.swapcase) you get: help(str.swapcase) Help on method_descriptor: swapcase(...) S.swapcase() - string Return a copy of the string S with uppercase characters converted to lowercase and vice versa. Sounds relevant to your goals. ;) As for the width question, think about the requirement to center the string. Centered with reference to what? How are you going to center something if you don't know how wide the thing you're centering on, is?

So dir gives you the attributes of an object. In this case since you're
playing with a string you want to take a look at string objects. What
happens when you run dir(str)? What happens when you run dir('this is a
string')?
def SwapcaseAndCenter(dir,??)
The best way to understand what an assignment is asking is usually to have
an example - and if you don't have an example, make one up!
So I suspect your teacher might want something like this: (I'm replacing
spaces with 'x' so you can see them. It's a good thing to do while you're
testing)
SwapcaseAndCenter('a', 3)
'xAx'
SwapcaseAndCenter('hello', 10)
'xxHELLOxxx'
SwapcaseAndCenter('WeIrD', 12)
'xxxwEiRd'
I suspect if you look carefully at the output of the `dir` commands that I
mentioned above, you will find some help.

Re: [Tutor] Just Joined!
Thank you both for the quick replies! So I understand now dir is just used to
assist in finding relevant strings. wapcaseAndCenter('hello', 10) I don't
understand how from your example you get an output from
: SwapcaseAndCenter('hello', 10) I get the below error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#24, line 1, in module
SwapcaseAndCenter('hello', 10)
NameError: name 'SwapcaseAndCenter' is not defined
So i started thinking the string used is swapcase and center although I
still get an error with that input:
swapcase.center('hello',10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#28, line 1, in module
swapcase.center('hello',10)

CPython refers to the main implementation, which is written in C. There are a bunch of different implementations, such as IronPython for .NET or Jython for the Java Virtual Machine. There's also Cython (subtle spelling difference), which you can use to combine C and Python code. It isn't quite an implementation in the same sense, but it's close.

Re: [Tutor] create an xls file using data from a txt file
Maybe we're splitting hairs over semantics then. I thought there was confusion about what the CLI shell was doing with file separators as opposed to just handing the arguments as-is to the applications (which is true... the CLI doesn't really process them much, it's up to the application. Where in the application, though, this is dealt with is not where I think we disagree.

[Tutor] Automatic updates for a program?
So I have a program I want to release, but it's still in early stages without some of its planned functionality. I want to distribute automatic updates. I'm working under the assumption that the easiest way to do this is to just replace the old files with the new ones. My questions is this: How do I replace a script that is running, with a new version? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
