Hello all,
I've finally gotten around to my 'learn how to parse html' project. For
those of you looking for examples (like me!), hopefully it will show you one
potentially thickheaded way to do it.
For those of you with powerful python-fu, I would appreciate any feedback
regarding the direction I

I don't know how much it's in use, but I thought gadfly (
http://gadfly.sourceforge.net/) was the db that's implemented in python.

Unfortunately I live on the East Coast, otherwise I'd definitely attend! I
am attracted to the declarative nature of reStructuredText, but I also
recognize that A LOT of people use Powerpoint and are comfortable with it.

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering what people consider the most efficient and brain-damage free
way to automate the creation of presentation slides with Python. Scripting
Powerpoint via COM? Generating a Keynote XML file? Something else that's
easier (hopefully)?
I'm imagining a case where one does cert
Thanks so much for the comments! I appreciate the look. It's hard to know

Hello everyone,
I've been learning python in a vacuum for the past few months and I
was wondering whether anyone would be willing to take a look at some
code? I've been messing around with sqlite and matplotlib, but I
couldn't get all the string substitution (using ?s). I ended up
getting the scri
Thanks Kent, perhaps I'll cool the Python jets and move on to HTTP and
HTML. I was hoping it would be something I could just pick up along

Hello all,
I have two questions I'm hoping someone will have the patience to
answer as an act of mercy.
I. How to get past a Terms of Service page?
I've just started learning python (have never done any programming
