The great thing about Python is that you can use Classes if you want,
or not if you don't. I use them

Any suggestions for how to normalize and compress whitespace in a
string?
By normalize I mean convert tabs and soft spaces (extended ascii code
160) to spaces.
By compress I mean replace all runs of 2 or more spaces (after the
normalization step) to a single space.
I know I can use regular expre

For completeness, it's worth mentioning in passing that % is only
special when you're doing string formatting. It's not otherwise
special in strings.

I m not sure this is your case but i believe you are missing the
"cur.fetchall()" command which does fetch data from sql db
i suggest you put a print statement for every data you use in your program
that way you know whats empty & whats not...
here is example of MySQLdb process:
con=MySQLdb.c

Ok,
Try again:
I'm using the LIKE operator to match a pattern against a string using this
SELECT statement:
for row in con.execute("SELECT FROM WHERE LIKE '%q%'
limit 25"):
.. where , , are placeholders!
With q="dog" as a test example, I've tried '$q%', '%q%', '%q' and 'q%' and none
of the
19 matches
