<0> not in a raw string
<1> no, not in the raw string -- in the regex
<2> aaaaaaaaargh
<1> beerboybeerboy perhaps the fnmatch module would be easier ;-)
<2> no, I know regexes
<2> but this ****s
<2> I'ev used Perl regexes all my life
<3> Nope, you just have to stop ***uming that regexps have some magic link into Python. THey are just a library.
<3> In Perl they are magic and part of the core, irreplaceable inextensible.
<4> beerboybeerboy: so in perl how do you match a (?
<3> But he doesn't watn to match a (; he wants a group.
<2> \(
<3> And that's the same as in PYthon with raw strings: >>> print bool(re.search(r'\(', '('))
<4> beerboybeerboy: in python it's the same. your regex contains \(, so it matches a (
<3> True
<1> beerboybeerboy how do you match a backslash in perl?
<2> But \\( shouldn't be \(
<2> \\
<5> more proof that perl is damaging.
<5> beerboybeerboy: why shouldnt it be?
<1> beerboybeerboy ok, so backslash (\\) followed by a group (...) -> \\(...)
<2> $input =~ /(^\\\\.*)\\media\\(.*[^\\])/
<3> In a raw string, \\( matches a \ followed by start of group
<2> This is the way I'd write it in Perl
<3> So what does the input look like?
<2> So if I wanted two backslashes, I use \\\\?
<2> input is a UNC path
<1> beerboybeerboy if you want two backslashes to be *matched*, you'd use \\\\ in a raw string
<2> \\machine\folderA\folderB\folderC\media\etc\etc\etc
<3> Yes, ***uming you have a raw string, yes. You need to backslash the backslash because the backslash is special in regexps so not backslashing it will create backlash.
<2> p = re.compile(r'(^\\\\.*?)\\media\\(.*[^\\])') - how about this?
<3> Well, are you doing this on a windows machine?
<2> Erwin, yes
<3> then use the os.path module
<2> yeah but this is a simple app I'm developing because I'm lazy
<3> Then why give yourself problems using regexps?
<2> I need to get everything before the string media
<2> \\machine\folderA\folderB\folderC\media\etc\etc\etc
<2> how do I do that using os.path?
<3> Hmm, the split there only split into dirname + base. But OK:
<4> beerboybeerboy: you could also simply do a,b=pathname.split("media",1)
<3> while 1: path, basename = os.path.split(path); if basename == "media": break
<6> I'm working on a script for a website that will display the most recent files from a directory. The files are titled YYYY.MM.DD.html
<3> ChrisLong: Nope, that wouldn't work if the string has e.g. "intermediate" in it before
<4> kmwhite: ah, that sorts nicely
<6> will glob always return the list in order, or do I need to sort them?
<6> ChrisLong: glob'll work?
<3> kmwhite: No sorting guarantees on glob.
<3> but just for filename in sorted(glob.glob(...))) will do
<6> Awesome.
<1> if by sorted you mean alphabetically
<4> Erwin: he wants "everything before the string media". so this meets hios requirements
<4> kmwhite: you'll have to sort
<6> ChrisLong: Will fileList.sort() work?
<4> kmwhite: of course. glob returns a list
<6> ChrisLong: Thanks much
<2> Erwin, that went into an infinite loop
<3> beerboybeerboy: Ah, you probably want to break on some other condition, like reaching the beginning of the filename :-)
<3> If you want the non-os.path way, you can also split on '\\', search for media, then join
<7> Hello, I have a list of 7 ints, and I want to check if there are 5 of them in an ascending order like [1,2,3,4,5,8, 14, 253]. How do I do that?
<8> anyone mind reviewing a small of code and tell me what if anything I could improve? (Python noob here)
<6> plb - paste a link
<8> ok
<6> plb - note, I'm a semi-noob too, just attempting to help
<8> http://pastebin.com/763847
<3> e.g.: l = r'\\foo\bar\media\bob\file.txt'.split('\\')
<8> just started on saturday ;]
<9> if I don't need anything from the constructor, should I create it anyways with the p*** statement?
<3> if 'media' in l: print '\\'.join(l[:l.index('media')])
<6> plb - nope, beyond me. I do mostly CLI and some wxPython stuff, GTK doesn't quite work on MacOSX as far as I know.
<8> ah thanks anyway
<8> anyone else mind reviewing a small bit of code?
<0> plb i will
<8> rabidpoobear: http://pastebin.com/763847
<5> pi3: you could use a few cl***es, but it looks structurally sound otherwise.
<10> In writing a test unit, I'm using time.tzset() which is only available in unix. Is there a way to check for unix so i can skip that test if on win32?
<11> os.name
<11> test for posix, otherwise skip
<5> even better, hasattr(time, 'tzset')
<11> or that
<11> try it, and if it fails, ignore it?
<12> any matplotlib user arround ?
<11> what happens when you try to use tzset on windows, then
<5> time.tzset doesnt even exist in the windows versions of python
<11> if it throws an exception, just do a try/except ThingyError: p***
<12> TypeError: astimezone() argument 1 must be datetime.tzinfo, not list
<11> or whatever you need instead of doing the test
<11> ok, so do that
<11> it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission
<12> i've got this error while using date_plot()
<10> cheers :)
<12> dates = [date2num(datetime.fromtimestamp(now+t)) for t in ts]
<12> mtplotlib seems not to be happy with this
<5> but you need to be careful just catching an exception there and skipping. it might be an exception that means your test failed, so id stick with some explicitness.
<5> does the standard unittest library even support test skipping?
<11> try: tzfunction = time.whatever
<11> s'what I do
<11> keep the exception handling to stuff that cannot possibly throw the same exception I check for, in an unexpected way
<11> I got a MAJOR headache from doing that once
<5> good idea
<5> ldlework: why for you change nick like that?
<11> even if it "waah waah pointlessly creates extra local variables"
<11> it's still nicer
<13> I am sorry, my bot is not working well with nickserv.
<13> I'll stop that.
<5> Patrick`: what said that?
<5> ldlework: why dont you test the bot with a seperate connection?
<11> ironfroggy: my own subconcious
<14> ldlework, can you just go in a private channel?
<13> the whole point
<13> is to get the bot to be able to join #python
<14> ldlework, Je comprends
<12> matplotlib is getting on my nerves
<12> i just want to make some date_plot(). any helper ?
<8> rabidpoobear: get the link?
<12> oh, plot_date(), btw :)
<15> Anyone happen to know which library allows me to import getdate() ?
<8> anyone want to review a small bit of code -> http://pastebin.com/763847
<11> s'not small
<11> what's wrong with it
<5> plb-: i already gave you my thoughts on it.
<8> eh?
<8> must have missed it
<8> stepped out for a minute
<5> structurally it looks OK, but you have a severe lack of cl***es.
<16> I'm struggling with cl*** interaction myself. So far though, it's all design stuff, not code.
<8> ironfroggy: sorry I'm a newb here but what cl***es....the __init__ with the window?
<14> bkjones, I'm actually in that same spot. Code is merely proof of concept for me right now.
<16> sounds about right, rockstar_
<16> unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) I have to actually accomplish actual work in a relatively short amount of time :-/
<5> plb-: sure you would likely have a cl*** to instansiate as the main window of your app.
<5> plb-: it just helps keep your code organized and maintainable.
<8> alright I'll fix it right now
<5> well it isnt really a quick fix, more a refactoring of all your code, but i still recommend it.
<13> iron
<13> you ready for this?
<0> :D
<5> ldlework: what?
<13> ohnoes
<0> oh noes.
<0> what happened?
<13> heh didn't nickserv
<0> oh
<0> ok
<5> i think blocking bots are one of the reasons identification is required for #python...
<13> Its a nice challenge, thank you.
<15> I have a program I'm trying to run that imports something called "getdate", but I don't have that on my system and I can't seem to figure out what that is. Anyone have an idea?
<13> zomg
<0> yay
