This feature would help porting code between both versions.

Re: Article on the future of Python
Hi Sorry guys, I'm only able to see this (with the Python versions an end user can download): [snip timeit results] While you have been all doom and gloom and negativity that Python has destroyed Unicode, I thought that jmf's concerns were solely concerned with the selection of latin1 as the 1 byte set. My impression was that if some set of characters was chosen that included all characters commonly used in French then all would be well with the world. But now I'm confused because latin1 seems to cater for French quite well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1 -- Regards Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I need help putting together some code; today preferably, my boss is on my back. Can someone please contribute a functioning module showing me how to do it? Once I have all your submissions, I will compile a functioning package, which I hope to sell. Don't worry, no one will be at risk of being sued, I don't intend to credit you with the code and you will not know anything about what I have done because I don't intend to post and feedback to the list. Licenses are not a problem either, I don't believe in them and even if you find out I have plagiarized your stuff you have bub-kiss chance of suing me as I am in another jurisdiction. So, now you know where I am coming from, I would like to thank you for all your help. Remember though, I need help now, so please stop what you are doing and submit something quickly. I'm waiting...

Right now, we're working in ASCII and creating silly digrams/trigrams like r'' for raw strings (and triple-quotes for multi-line strings). Not to mention =, =, ==, !=. And in languages other than python, things like -, = (arrows for structure membership), and so on. It'll be pretty. -- Regards Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: ANN: dbf.py 0.94
Hi Getting closer to a stable release. Latest version has a simpler, cleaner API, and works on PyPy (and hopefully the other implementations as well ;), as well as CPython. Get your copy at http://python.org/pypi/dbf. Bug reports, comments, and kudos welcome! ;) Not supported: index files: I have been using http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/ for years where a guy called Przemyslaw Czerpak has written an absolutely bullet proof implementation of NTX and CDX for DBF. Maybe it will interest you. PS : bareable is spelt bearable. -- Regards Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
