As I understand it python is not a strongly typed language so no declaration of variables is necessary. My question is this:
If I use a variable in a program that stores certain numbers and I'm porting it to say ... java where I must first declare the variables before I use them how do I find out what type to give that variable, specifically is there a way to identify the type of a variable used in a python program for reference? What I'm saying is if I have used a certain variable to hold literally dozens of different values and I BELIEVE them all to be integers but I'm not entirely sure that I have not stumbled into the float realm is there a way to have python list all variables contained in a program and tell me what type it has internally stored them as? I realize I could trudge through the entire 1000 lines and check all the variables and see what values I have assigned them one at a time but I'm wondering if there is an easier way to get that data?

Now you have to fix it. The proxy comes either from the environment variable HTTP_PROXY or from the Windows registry, I think it is the proxyServer value of the key Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings but I'm not on Windows and this is no longer a Python question so that is as far as I will take it.

Sorry but that does not help at all. I guess you want a character-based console window and ability to respond to user keystrokes. If that is the case use the curses module. If not please explain your situation in more detail. And in future questions please give the relevant details in the original posting.

AFAIK that could mean waiting on an external event / signal / communication that never happens, or running in an "infinite loop".

I presume he means he defines "hangs" as "waiting on an external event / signal / communicaiton that never happens". AFAIK, there's no good way to kill a thread (google for 'python kill thread' for lots of hits). IME most blocking operations have optional timeout parameters, so you could restructure your main thread loop to wait->work/timeout->repeat, which should make it easier to end the thread. -- John. ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:33:35 +0800 From: "Justin Ezequiel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Tutor] Putting the Output of Help to a File To: tutor@python.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > From: Wayne Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > See Subject.
