My personal stuff is on bzr and I have put my open source stuff on hg, partly because you said you were switching to it. A 3rd dvcs is one too many IMHO. I moved the stand-alone (IronPython) copy of adodbapi to hg on sourceforge and it was painless. I'ld encourage hg. Vernon Cole (sent fr

What a nifty script! I love it! Here's my version. I tested using a 800 KByte image file and it runs in a blink. Dictionary access in Python is very fast. counter = {} for bytes in open('c:\\temp\\16.jpg', "rb").read(): try: counter[bytes] += 1 except KeyError: counter[bytes

I ran across this problem myself awhile back, and it seems to be common enough that they added a feature to distutils to handle it. I have added a copy of my setup.cfg to CVS, which contains: [build] force=1 [bdist_wininst] user_access_control=auto With "force=1", it should theoretically clean o

Correct. 32 bit COM cannot talk to 64 bit COM. That's one of the few reasons for running 64 bit Python. On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 8:53 AM, Matteo Boscolo wrote: > thanks but unfortunately it does not solve the problem .. > > my machine is a 64 bit and my os is w7 > my python version is 2.6 32bit ..
