<0> Newb question, how do you get the position of a value in a tuple?
<1> convert it to list then .index
<0> k
<1> tuples are simple things
<1> dont really have any functions
<1> maybe someone knows why, but not me :)
<0> hehe
<2> how do I list all files in a directory?
<2> I'm reading DiveIntoPython...
<3> os.listdir
<2> thanks.
<2> when I type "fileinfo." in Komodo (OS: Windows), it pops up suggestions on how to complete it, but when I try to "import fileinfo" it says it doesn't exist. I also forgot how to list the lib search paths. uff.
<2> in PythonWin I can import fileinfo. hmm.
<2> ah, it was sys.path, not os.path
<2> turns out it was a module that came with DiveIntoPython, and that dir was somehow in PythonWin's path..
<4> Just purchased Beginning Python today, hope its good :)
<2> I started reading about Python yesterday.
<2> so I'm in the annoying stage.
<4> what other languages are you familiar with?
<2> a bit of Perl..
<2> and I read a book on C# once, but forgot most of it.
<4> and what doyou think of python thus far? :)
<2> it's different from Perl, but there are also some similarities. it seems pretty nice.
<2> trouble is I've been reading and not coding so far, so I forget easily.
<4> True, but you'll pick up what you forgot in under a day
<4> *most* of the time
<4> python isn't as ghastly as perl
<4> perl has too many things going on, very few people can claim they know it all
<2> I guess you don't have to know it all to use it successfully.
<2> for elem in a:
<2> mp3file = fileinfo.MP3FileInfo(elem)
<2> print mp3file["artist"]
<2> how dumb is this really? it surely doesn't work like I expect it to.
<3> "doesn't work" isn't really diagnostic
<2> in PythonWin, I can set mp3file = fileinfo.MP3FileInfo("C:\\prog\\mp3\\somefile.mp3")
<2> I know.
<2> and then I can type mp3file["artist"] to print the artist.
<2> I'm trying to do the same for a list..
<2> just as practice.
<3> we still don't know what "doesn't work" means here
<2> File "C:\Python24\lib\UserDict.py", line 17, in __getitem__
<2> def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]
<2> KeyError: 'artist'
<3> that means that the mp3info dictionary doesn't have 'artist' in it
<3> mp3file I mean
<2> right.
<2> I get this when I "print mp3file":
<2> {'name': '01 - Angels & Agony - Darkness (Outside Version).mp3'}
<2> and so on, one entry for each mp3.
<3> so that's what it has in it
<3> it's unclear what your question is
<2> yet in PythonWin I get this:
<2> >>> mp3file{'album': 'Darkness', 'comment': '', 'name': 'C:\\prog\\mp3\\01 - Angels & Agony - Darkness (Outside Version).mp3', 'title': 'Darkness (Outside Version)', 'artist': 'Angels & Agony', 'year': '', 'genre': 255}
<3> I don't know what fileinfo is so I don't know
<3> probably one is finding an ID3 module and the other isn't
<3> but that's just a guess
<2> guess I should pick something more traditional to experiment with.
<2> is there a python equivalent of perl one-liners, such as: perl -le 'print "Hello world"'?
<2> uh, I guess maybe just typing python and then issuing commands serves the same purpose.
<3> python -c
<2> ah.
<2> I actually read python -h, but didn't understand what they meant with "program p***ed in as string". heh.
<3> how so
<3> are you seeing it blank
<5> yeah
<3> goddamn thing
<3> I see it normal, not sure why other people don't see it sometimes
<5> ?
<5> yeah, now I see it
<3> I saw that when you made that commnt
<3> comment*
<3> only seen this complaint about lost topics in #python, not sure why
<6> The servers just aren't synchronized. I joined two hours ago and saw if fine from here.
<5> oh
<3> ah
<6> Which is irc.inet.tele.dk.
<5> is that a bug or is it just that the servers aren't set up properly (sorry, I'm don't know much about how this IRC thing works)
<3> well it apparently has pretty persistent problems, I see constant complaints about that
<6> BlueTurtl: IRC started as an ugly hack in 1988. By now, the original hack is almost gone, while a house of post-it notes has replaced it.
<6> It's still better than the original, though. :)
<5> (-:
<7> hi
<7> I have a distutils setup script. When I run 'python setup.py install', it installs the modules into $PYTHONHOME/site-packages, and the data files in their proper location. Since my program is an application and not a module, how can I have it NOT put files in $PYTHONHOME/site-packages?
<8> I'm trying to get a function to return a value (or anything),but nothing shows up. I'm using IDLE, what am I missing here?
<9> re
<5> yason, "re" to?
<9> BlueTurtl: those who last saw me talking
<5> oh
<5> I was wondering if "re" also meant something new because I saw you join and immediately say "re"
<9> it means "re" as in re-{appear,turn,...}
<9> There might be a nice acronym expansion for it too but I'm not aware of that
<9> found on reddit:
<9> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3993578102572669647&q=forklift
<9> hilarious especially in contrast to the academic German appearance displayed in the beginnign :)
<9> s/gn/ng/
<9> worth watching till the end :)
<1> i got that on dvd
<9> are there more?
<3> that's been floating around, I saw that months ago
<1> nope
<1> thats all
<9> xihr: I live in back time. If you're into something new, here's the GPLv3 draft released just today: http://gplv3.fsf.org/draft
