So the problem is that python doesn't know what you're trying to do. It doesn't know that you meant to say "print." When the parser is looking at the word Print, it assumes you are referencing an object named Print, which is completely legal. It's only once you've created the next token, a strin

It is for reading all the lines from a complete file. If the file is still being written to, it doesn't have an end yet. File objects do many things besides RPC. Also, there are instances where all you want to do is block until the file is done, and then get all the content. readlines will do th

Creating new instances of subclasses.

eld(Field): def __new__(cls, a): return object.__new__(cls, a) Is there a cleaner way to do this? The main problem is that Field.__new__ gets in the way of properly constructing the subclasses once I've used it to select the proper subclass in the first place. Cheers, Cliff -- Oook, J.
