Re: Converting a string to the most probable type

Dates can be a pain. I wrote my own date program, simply because there are so many different ways to write a date: Mar 8, 2008 March 8th, 08 03/08/08 03-08-2008 And so on and so forth. The tricky bit is how to tell the difference between Day, Month and Year. I wrote a program to check the form

Keep a python script running after browser window closed

Hi, I have a cgi script that performs a very long computation that can take several hours to complete. Is there any smart way that I can keep this script running until it is finished (after the user has closed the browser) and email them with the results. The email bit isn't the problem, I just do

Re: Regarding coding style

Placing 2 spaces after a period is standard, grammatically correct English, at least as I was taught... I don't know who Strunk or White are. Maybe Mr. Pink has a book you can refer to instead. 2008/3/7, K Viltersten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I've been recommended reading of: > http://www.python.
