Re: Very stupid question about a % symbol

Ha, I had this same problem, but I was trying to do dynamic formatting: ("%%%s" % format) % number where "format" is a python-ized fortran format string (i.e. "9.4E"). Looks kinda weird and less elegant than the {0:{1}}-type .format() syntax, but at least it preserves backwards compatibility to

Very stupid question about a % symbol

OK, this is a very stupid question about a very simple topic, but Google is failing me this morning... I'm trying to print a string that looks like this: Reported memory amounts are within 10% tolerance and the print line looks (for now) like this: print "Reported memory amounts are

Very stupid question.

How to get the length of a file via build-in file object support? In Visual Basic there is len(file) of something like that. But in python, where is this property? Sorry for this stupid question, if it is. Thank you for help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
