Writing elapsed time as a string

Hello. I'm sorry if this has been asked a thousand (million) times. Is there a nifty pythonesque way to produce a string representing an elapsed time period, in terms of years, months, days, hours, mins, seconds? I am storing times in a MySQL db, and would love to be able to write the time

Garbage collection

Hi, I'm building a server with python, but coming from a c++ background, garbage collection seems strange. For instance, I have a manager looking after many objects in a dict. When those objects are no longer needed, I use del manager[objectid], hoping to force the garbage collector to

Events in Python

Hi, I have a stackless python app, using twisted in parts (.internet and .adbapi). I need a little help getting pythonic after years of c++ hell. I'd like to use a system of events and observers, like c++ boost.signal. I'd like to be able to subscribe multiple callbacks to a single function

refcount

Hi, The term 'hashable'. Am I right in thinking it means it can be indexed? like a string or a dict? Thanks Si -- Linux user #458601 - http://counter.li.org. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

del self?

Hi, Just curious... What are the implications of a class member calling: del self is that what the __del__ method calls anyway? Thanks Simon -- Linux user #458601 - http://counter.li.org. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Pythonland documentation

Hi I am new to python (fairly) but can't stop pythonning. c++ seems so far away now from here it looks like a horrid scribble :) Anyway my question is really about doc tools. I've been used to doxygen in c++ land, and although it makes a reasonable stab with a python project in java

Running another python interpreter

Hello, I have several servers which link to each other (and of course, to clients). At present, I am starting them in turn manually. Is there a way with python to say, open gateway.py in a new interpreter window? I looked at execv, etc, but they seem to replace the current process. Ah, maybe
