If you just want to have the power of some Unix tools then take a look at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ , they all run fine in the standard Windows shell. If you want to try a Unix variant then find one of the many "Live" CD's out there which you can use before you slice up your disk. I'm a big fan of NetBSD but at the moment I'm running OpenBSD 4.0 on my PIII laptop and it's very nice. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] How to strip both single and double quotes

Not sure what you mean by 'words' but how about something like this.
[x.strip('\' \" () * & ^ % $ # < ') for x in word.split()]
Example:
>>> str = 'this has special characters \" \' ()*&^%$# << '
>>> [x.strip('\' \" () * & ^ % $ # < ') for x in str.split()]
['this', 'has', 'special', 'characters', '', '', '', '']

How about some RE action.

>>> fr = file('dna','r')

... m = pat.match(line)

Thanks Ken
I'm getting closer to making this work using the XOR cipher. Here's
what I'm doing.
from Crypto.Cipher import XOR
obj_xor = XOR.new("string")
str_encrypt = "encrypt this string"
xored = obj_xor.encrypt(str_encrypt)
xored
'\x16\x1a\x11\x1b\x17\x17\x07T\x06\x01\x07\x14S\x07\x06\x1b\x07\t\x14'
obj_xor.decrypt(xored)
"bhxupds&oo`g'uou`z`" <== *confused by this output*
Close but no cigar!! *grin*

[Tutor] Cryptography Toolkit
Does anyone have some examples on the use of A.M. Kuchling's Python Cryptography Toolkit? I've tried his examples but get "AttributeError" and "TypeError". What I'm trying to do is encrypt/decrypt a file. I'm using Python 2.3 on xp pro.
