Comments:
<0> can you post the code for that function in the pastebin?
<1> kosh, the function is rather long with a bunch of SQL in it, http://deadbeefbabe.org/paste/681
<2> jeld, can you print range before you enter that loop ?
<2> jeld, my bet is you re***igned the range function to be a variable of type long
<3> hi, how to lists directory in python ?
<4> zygfryd`: os.listdir
<3> thx
<1> polpak <- genius!!!
<2> it's a common pitfall for new people =)
<2> jeld, glad I could help though
<1> is there some sort of flag I can use so python would warn me about things like that
<0> you should probably fix the function also
<0> long functions are bad for many reasons
<1> like perl use warnings
<0> jeld: nope no flag will warn of doing that
<1> kosh, it is mostly long because of the embeded SQL statements
<5> is there a way to tell xml.dom to ignore errors, such as if you want to parse html and there's going to be things like unclosed <br>'s?
<2> jeld, you should look at possibly using something like SQLObject to avoid having to muck about with all that SQL in your code
<2> marencian, unfortunately HTML is not XML. So if you want to parse HTML you'll need something specific to HTML parsing, not XML parsing
<1> polpak, I am using MySQLdb
<2> jeld, I know
<6> Greetings. Stupid question. How do I convert a string with 1 character to an int?
<2> jeld, SQLObject abstracts the serialization of your cl***es so you don't have to worry about the SQL stuff
<6> int('d') does not work for example.
<5> polpak: are there any HTML modules you know of that have the same kind of accessing methods as the XML DOM?
<4> hansderagon: what int do you want to convert it to?
<1> polpak, ah, I see, gotta look at that API, thanx
<6> deltab... a key pressed.
<6> I want to convert the value of a key pressed to an int.
<6> and substract 'a' from it.
<2> marencian, there's this one http://docs.python.org/lib/module-HTMLParser.html
<6> So I can get a basic index.
<6> Lets make this simpler.
<2> marencian, but it looks more like SAX than DOM
<6> I want the ascii value in int of a key pressed.
<4> then you need ord(c)
<6> I searched the web, but found nothing.
<6> int() does not work on characters or strings.
<6> Drives me crazy.
<4> it works on strings containing numerals
<4> int('1234')
<5> polpak: yeah, I've seen that one. It doesn't have accessors like dom, just handlers for parsing, which is very awkward
<4> int('cabba6e', 16)
<2> marencian, yeah, I know. I prefer DOM also
<6> deltab, that is an hex to int conversion.
<6> I want an ascii to int conversion.
<6> But thanks.
<7> hi
<8> hansderagon, then you need ord
<7> does exist any module to work on mysql ?
<8> ord('a') == 97
<6> benji, THANKS!
<6> You got it.
<4> hansderagon: I did answer you, btw
<2> marencian, look at this site
<2> marencian, http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/HTML.html Specfically they talk about 2 methods for using XML dom modules for reading HTML
<4> peoro: MySQLdb (from mysql.com)
<7> ok, thanks :)
<5> polpak: sounds very promising, thanks :)
<2> hansderagon, <4> then you need ord(c)
<2> hansderagon, he said that like 10 mins ago
<4> 5
<2> deltab, I have no concept of time. It seems like it was ages ago ;p
<4> not that I'm counting :-)
<0> what is this time thing you speak of? :)
<9> quick point of clarification for an OOP-with-python n00b: a cl*** must be defined within a module?
<0> bkjones: can you think of any way to define a cl*** outside of a module considering that a file is a module
<9> this is new to me. I'm going through "Learning Python" as I try to code for an ongoing project. Sorry for the ignorance.
<2> bkjones, module is just another name for file with python code in it
<9> oh
<9> thanks
<2> bkjones, so yes, a cl*** must be defined in a file
<10> :P
<9> of course. How else would you do it? ;-P
<2> bkjones, unless it's a builtin
<9> or you're using IDLE ;-)
<10> what module does a cl*** defined in interactive mode belong to?
<9> there's no import, iirc.
<9> you define it and use it in the same session.
<2> bkjones, welcome to python btw. =)
<9> thank you.
<9> I think.
<9> :)
<2> bkjones, it's pretty nice
<10> polpak: every programmer love "their" language though... :P
<4> polpak: uh, module isn't just another name for a file with python code in it
<9> rixxon: not me
<9> I code mostly in php and perl.
<9> I don't like either very much.
<10> bkjones: those two are my hate languages
<10> heh
<9> I think the more experience you have with a language, the more you learn about it, the less you like it.
<10> well, it doesn't feel as cool to write that code when you understand it :P
<9> heh
<4> polpak: modules can be created from files containing python code, but they needn't be; some are created from files containing compiled C, for example, and a few are built in and not loaded at all
<11> is there something like isnumber()?
<11> if i want to know if string is a number
<10> Keyser-: regexp
<10> Keyser-: i don't know how you use regexp in python (google!) but here's a pattern for it anyway: /^\d+$/
<11> ok, thanks
<11> or does someone have another solution?
<10> (you might want to check .,- aswell)
<8> Keyser-, '123'.isdigit()
<11> yeah, that's a bit easier & faster :)
<11> thanks
<10> benji: cool, but what if he wants to check for a floating point?
<11> no need for those
<10> benji: or a negative number
<8> then he asks for that
<11> :)
<10> benji: well, im asking ;)
<8> :)
<11> int()?
<8> In that case try: float(my_string) except ValueError: print 'hmm, not a float'
<10> i see
<10> thank you
<9> ok! I was able to take a procedural piece of code to connect and query postgresql, rewrite it as a cl*** with a couple of methods, call the methods from a separate python script, and get back data!
<9> not bad! Lots of "self.varname" stuff everywhere though :-/
<10> bkjones: get an autocompleting editor
<9> actually, that's a good little poll: what's everyone's favorite python editor?
<10> vim
<8> gvim
<9> you have autocompletion in vim?
<12> help me search the docs. I'm looking for a python equiv of 'mkdir' :)
<10> yea well gvim :P
<9> ?
<8> ooh yes, bkjones
<10> bkjones: ctrl+p
<8> read about the new omni complete in vim7 (ships with support for Python built-in)
<9> GAH! It Works!
<9> thanks.
<10> magic
<9> I use vim 99.99999% of the time as a sysadmin, not a coder.
<9> :-/
<9> I'll learn.
<10> :)
<13> caleb_work: the 'os' module has it.
<12> Yhg1s: thanks!
<8> bkjones, you should read about how to configure it, you can complete on current buffer, other buffers, and ctags
<9> btw, if anyone else is also a sysadmin, --> http://www.linuxlaboratory.org
<14> if I have a string of the form "a=atext&b=btext&c=ctext" what's the best way to turn it into a dictionary of form {'a' : 'atext' , 'b' : 'btext' , 'c' : 'ctext'}?
<14> I figure first I'll split it with the & delimiter
<9> benji: I think I'll give myself time to get used to the syntax and stuff before I go making it easier for myself to forget ;-)
<14> so I get a list ['a=atext', 'b=btext', 'c=ctext']
<8> heh
<9> but I'm a veteran of .vimrc-foo, so I'll get there.
<14> is there an easy way to get from the list to a dictionary without using a loop?
