hello, Just like in a normal text editor, I would like to detect if a dictionary has been changed. So I would like to have a modified-flag. (This dictionary is used as a communication channel between processes)
Now I do it to make a copy of the dictionary and compare it with the old one. When a change is detected I nake a new copy and interpret the whole new dictionary again,
so I'm not interested in knowing where the change(s) are located. This works well, but as I have many of these dictionaries, I find the copy a waste of time and space. Has anyone derived a new dictionary with a modified flag ? Or are there other solutions to detect easily a directory change ? thanks, Stef Mientki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
