Hello group, I'm new to Python and have a couple of beginner questions that
I'm hoping someone can answer.
1. Is python something that you would recommend using for server side web
programming? Something like C# or Java? If so, are there any resources
that you could point me to that would help m
I want to save some sensitive data (passwords, PIN numbers, etc.) to

modern block cipher will do: AES, Blowfish, etc. I'm not looking for
public key stuff; I just want

For example in physics formula for falling object distance:
d = (1/2)*g*t^2
In physics (math) d and t are variables and g is a constant. When you
start to calculate the distance you assign some values to the variables,
you cant touch the
Hi folks,
My python program needs to download a number of files. Each file comes
as a list of mirrors of that file.
Currently, I am using system (os.system) to run wget. The mechanism is
in a loop, so that it will try all the mirrors while wget is exiting
with a non-zero exit status. This is

Thanks for the suggestions and modified module. I will probably just
use this "fixed" module to solve my immediate problem. I appreciate
your post to python-dev as well; it looks like this may be addressed in

I'm having some issues with decimal.Decimal objects playing nice with
custom data types. I have my own matrix and rational classes which
implement __add__ and __radd__. They know what to do with Decimal
objects and react appropriately.
The problem is that they only work with Decimals if the cust
I'm also hoping to use something a little less
daunting than Apache if possible.
Thanks for your help, and sorry for such a long post!

Sure, OOP *can* lead to more buggy software, that doesn't mean it always
does.
