Re: [Tutor] Question on how to open other programs and files

Hi haztan...@gmail.com wrote I have a question regarding how to open other programs and files in Python code. I am creating a simple interface and I want it to be able to open other files, such as a text file or a pdf file. OK, lets clarify something first. When you say open do you mean

Re: [Tutor] WINSOCK stdin question

Yes, this is exactly what I am looking to accomplish. On one host I have an application that is sending cmd.exe to a second host. OK, how is that application doing that? What port is it sending the output to on the remote host? You say CMD.exe but that is the windows shell. There is no

[Tutor] Is this correct?

HI, I just realized that I shouldn't enclose my project in an attachment. This is my first attempt to string together py-code. Is this correct? And how would a pro word this? It seems like an awful lot of code for such a small task. Thanks in advance, Pat

Re: [Tutor] Oops! I just corrected my file:RE Completed project is this correct?

I guess this is homework so I will keep my comments fairly general. You have a lot of tests on count. Are they all needed? The code might be clearer if tuition was a positive number. newPrincipal and newTuition could have better names I don't think you need so many variables, balance, newBalance

I guess I'm in the mood for a parsing challenge this weekend, I wrote a PLY version of the citation parser, see attached. It generates exactly the output you asked for except for the inclusion of In in the name. Kent # Parser for legal citations, PLY version from ply import lex, yacc text =

[Tutor] calling other process?

Hello, I've been reading the Python docs on how to call a 2nd program and getting it's output, and would up here: http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html Is: from subprocess import Popen output = Popen([mycmd, myarg], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0] Really the replacement for: output

For what its worth - here is my revision of your program. I did not send it earlier because I kept finding things that led me to want to see and verify the fundamental algorithm. But now I think my observations could also be useful. My changes: Changed indentation from 8 to 2. For me this is

Re: [Tutor] calling other process?

I sympatjise but to be honest I never use the backtick trick except at the prompt as a quick and dirty hack. It ranks alongside the _ variable in my book as an interactive utility but it's too easy to miss or misread to use in real code. But even popen is easier, I agree, and
