getting the path in a cgi script

I know I've done this once before ... I think ... but now I can't figure out how to do it I've set my web server to use an alias similar to this ScriptAlias /xx/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/xxx.cgi/" which makes it possible for me to write http://127.0.0.1/xx/some/kind/of/path m

What documentation "standard" to use

I'm confused of how I should document my code, I've always liked being able to document my code directly in my source file and then to use some tool to extract the documentation to some other format. My problem with Python is that there are so many tools and formats ... I don't know which one I

Does a Java "pretty formatter" exist? I would like to use a Python based web building tool but would like to pretty format Java code (for example adding color to keywords, etc). I haven't managed to find one but have probably been looking in the wrong places. -- http://mail.python.org/mailma

New-style classes questions

I'm confused by the concepts of old-style vs new-style classes, I've read most of the documents I found about this but it doesn't "click". Probably because I wasn't around before 2.2. Anyway, the reason for new style classes are to make the whole type/object thing work better together. There ar

parsing a date

I want to parse a date string, for example '2005-09-23', and since I haven't done this before I would like to ask what is the best way to do it. I've looked around and the dateutil seems to be what most people use, but unfortunately I only get an empty file when I try to download it. I also tri

Those who have read my posts today have probably understood that I'm not a "true" Python programmer ... but I want to learn more (I think that Python is rather fun). I've read "Learning Python" pretty thoroughly, I've looked at some of the tutorials, some of online documentation, etc. But I sti

How to get/set class attributes in Python

I'm coming to Python from other programming languages. I like to hide all attributes of a class and to only provide access to them via methods. Some of these languages allows me to write something similar to this int age( ) { return theAge } void age( x : int ) { theAge = x } (I usually do m
