Hi Kent: Thanks for your response. The Grep function does a really good job of searching across .py files in a directory or subdirectories for the specific keyword/string. In the PythonWin interpreter 2.1, Go to File -> New -> Grep and the search string can be entered. It is useful in searchi

[Tutor] mysql store directory information

Hi! As a first part of a project, I need to store a directory tree in a mysql db. I'm wondering if there is a canonical way of doing that. I don't know if it's an appropriate question for this list, but I think it's not only a choice of db design, but also a choice of appropriate python tools.

Re: [Tutor] Logical Operators

Greetings, Kaushal: There are two topics to understand here: 1. what "TRUE" and "FALSE" mean in Python, and 2. how Python evaluates "X and Y". The tutorial "Instant Python" by Magnus Lie Hetland has good, short descriptions of these two topics, so I'll borrow from it. You can find the doc

You might also consider JSON (http://www.json.org), which is generally lighter weight than XML, fairly human-readable, and useful in several languages (most, anymore) . Python, Javascript, and ECMAScript use it natively through Eval(), if you don't have security concerns; or through a wrapper if se

Re: [Tutor] Logical Operaor

In python, any nonzero number is considered to mean "True". Zero is considered to be "False". The "and" logical operation evaluates to "True" only if both terms are true. On 4/6/06, Kaushal Shriyan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > I am referring to http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/chap04.
