Re: [Tutor] Introduction
Hi Ray, On 2012-08-18 16:36:40 +, Ray said: Hello. I am new to the mailing list and to Python. My knowledge of Python comes almost strictly from Nick Parlante's classes on YouTube that I've watched over the last week or so. I'm not certain why I'm diving into Python. My only coding experience has been using Bash scripts on my Ubuntu system for the past half dozen years, and so far I'm not particularly convinced that Python has any advantage FOR ME over what I have been using. In my Bash scripts I make generous use of sed and grep, with the occasional use of awk -- batch renaming of files, pulling exif date information from (manually) downloaded jpegs and adding that date to the front of file names, removing url '%' coding on photos and replacing it with "real" text, and the occasional foray into network stuff in conjunction with vlc or netcat. By no means am I a pro with Bash - only in the last six months have I really began to understand how to use arrays rather than temp files - but I can usually accomplish what I set out to do no matter how ugly the coding! The potential cross-platform use of Python is probably one of the major reasons for my interesttho' I don't think I write anything anyone else would want...and although, as I look at my Python code so far, it's definitely hard-coded for a Linux system :-p. So much for that reasoning But here I am - I am looking forward to learning from everyone, but keep the terminology as simple as possible, if you please - I'm only now beginning to understand what objects arelol Welcome!

[Tutor] ANN: pythonpackages.com beta
Hi Python Tutor folks, I am reaching out to various Python-related programming communities in order to offer new help packaging your software. If you have ever struggled with packaging and releasing Python software (e.g. to PyPI), please check out this service: - http://pythonpackages.com The basic idea is to automate packaging by checking out code, testing, and uploading (e.g. to PyPI) all through the web, as explained in this introduction: - http://docs.pythonpackages.com/en/latest/introduction.html Also, I will be available to answer your Python packaging questions most days/nights in #pythonpackages on irc.freenode.net. Hope to meet/talk with all of you soon.

So you have two questions here, one "how to read in a string" and two "get it
into a format for comparison"?
It seems to me you could do something like this:
from datetime import datetime
input = open('dates.txt','rb')
list = input.read()
dates = list.split()[0] # chars before the first whitespace
items = list.split()[-1] # everything after the first whitespace
if datetime.now().strftime('%m-%d-%Y') == dates:
print 'Do %s today!' % items
