chmod directories recursively

Hello! As far as I can see os.chmod() doesn't adjust permissions on directories recusively. Is there any other possibility to achieve this aim except for calling os.system('chmod -R /dir') directly? Thanks, Fabian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How to test whether a host is reachable?

Hello! As the subject says I need to test whether a host computer in our network is reachable or not. At the moment I simply attempt to connect to a given port that is open when the machine is online: [...] sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) try: sock.connect(('192.16

Flushing standard input

Splitting device addresses into parts

I often have to deal with strings like "PCI:2:3.0" or "PCI:3.4:0" and need the single numbers as tuple (2, 3, 0) or (3, 4, 0). Is there any simple way to achieve this? So far I am using regular expressions but I would like to avoid them ... Regards, Fabian Steiner -- ht

Creating an event loop

Hello! I am currently wondering how to write something like an "event loop". For example, if I want to write a function that checks whether a file was added or removed in a directory I would think of a "while 1: ..." construct that checks the mtime of the directory. Is this the right way to achiev

Hi! Sorry for adopting your post for my own question, but since it is related to PyQT I think it's ok: Does anybody of you know where the openbook »GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition« has gone? It's not available any more: http://www.opendocs.org/pyqt/ points now to a non-existing site.
