Hello, I'm using Iron Python 0.9.1. I wonder why won't these run?
<snippet> fileBeforeSort = file("READ_ME_AND_SORT_ME.txt", "r") afterSort = sorted(int(line.rstrip('\n')) for line in fileBeforeSort) fileBeforeSort.close() </snippet> IronPython tripped on the 2nd line, it said: SyntaxError: unexpected token for at ReadAndSortAndWriteInPython.py:2 Also, when I tried to use Python to write what is basically a C# program: <snippet> from System import Array, Convert from System.IO import File reader = File.OpenText("READ_ME_AND_SORT_ME.txt") beforeSort = reader.ReadToEnd().Split('\n') reader.Close() beforeSortInt = [Convert.ToInt32(number) for number in beforeSort] Array.Sort(beforeSortInt) </snippet> Also, if I use parentheses during conversion like this: beforeSortInt = (Convert.ToInt32(number) for number in beforeSort) IronPython will choke: Traceback (most recent call last): SyntaxError: unexpected token for at ReadAndSortAndWriteInPython2.py:8 I managed to make that disappear by turning the parentheses into square brackets, but then I got this: D:\Development\Book>IronPythonConsole ReadAndSortAndWriteInPython2.py <type 'list'> Traceback (most recent call last): at __main__.Initialize() in D:\Development\Book\ReadAndSortAndWriteInPython2. py:line 12 ValueError: Bad args for the method <method# Sort on System.Array> OK, so beforeSortInt is a Python list, whereas Array.Sort expects a System.Array, but... shouldn't this translate transparently? Or am I missing something real silly here? Thanks a bunch, Ray __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
