Re: Better way to sift parts of URL . . .
In practice, I had to change this: if len(query) > 0 and query[-1] == query[-1].capitalize(): group = query.pop() to this: if len(query) > 0 and query[-1][0] == query[-1].capitalize()[0]: group = query.pop() This is because I only wanted to test the case of the first letter of the string. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Better way to sift parts of URL . . .
This is what I ended up with. Slightly different approach:
import urlparse
def sUrl(s):
page = group = ''
bits = urlparse.urlsplit(s)
url = '//'.join([bits[0],bits[1]]) + '/'
query = bits[2].split('/')
if '' in query: query.remove('')
if len(query) > 1: page = query.pop()
if len(query) > 0 and query[-1] == query[-1].capitalize(): group =
query.pop()
if len(query): url += '/'.join(query) + '/'
if page == '': page = 'Main'
if group == '': group = 'Main'
page = '.'.join([group,page])
print " URL: (%s) PAGE: (%s)" % (url, page)
urls = [
"http://www.example.org/test/Main/AnotherPage";, # (page =
Main/AnotherPage)
"http://www.example.org/test/Main";, # (page = Main + '/' +
default_page)
"http://www.example.org/test";, # (page = default_group + '/' +
default_page)
"http://www.example.org/test/";, # (page = default_group + '/' +
default_page)
"http://www.example.org/";, # (page = default_group + '/' +
default_page)
"http://www.example.org/Main/AnotherPage";,
]
for u in urls:
print "Testing:",u
sUrl(u)

Re: Better way to sift parts of URL . . .
Sorry. I'm writing a python script that retrieves source contents of a wiki page, edits, and re-posts changed content. The wiki breaks pages into groups and pages (e.g. ThisGroup/ThisPage). The sections that are camel cased (or otherwise contain title case) are the group and page for a given page. When a url is passed that is incomplete (i.e., has the base URL and the Group, or only the base URL), the wiki resorts to defaults (e.g. a base URL and Group would return the default page for that group, and a bare URL returns the base page for the base group). I'm playing with urlparse now. Looks like I can do the same thing in a lot fewer steps. I'll post results.

Re: Better way to sift parts of URL . . .
Here is what I came up with:
def siftUrl(s):
s = s.split('//')[1]
bits = s.split('/')
if '' in bits: bits.remove('')
if len(bits) > 1:
group = bits[-2]
page = bits[-1]
group.strip('/')
page.strip('/')
else:
group = 'test'
page = 'test'
if group == group.capitalize():
page = '/'.join([group,page])
url = '/'.join(s.split('/')[:-2]) + '/'
elif page == page.capitalize():
page = '/'.join(['Main',page])
url = '/'.join(s.split('/')[:-1]) + '/'
else:
page = '/'.join(['Main','Main'])
url = s
url = 'http://' + url
return url, page

Better way to sift parts of URL . . .
I am working on a script that splits a URL into a page and a url. The
examples below are the conditions I expect a user to pass to the
script. In all cases, "http://www.example.org/test/"; is the URL, and
the page comprises parts that have upper case letters (note, 5 & 6 are
the same as earlier examples, sans the 'test').
1. http://www.example.org/test/Main/AnotherPage (page =
Main/AnotherPage)
2. http://www.example.org/test/Main (page = Main + '/' +
default_page)
3. http://www.example.org/test (page = default_group + '/' +
default_page)
4. http://www.example.org/test/ (page = default_group + '/' +
default_page)
5. http://www.example.org/ (page = default_group + '/' +
default_page)
6. http://www.example.org/Main/AnotherPage (page = Main/AnotherPage)
Right now, I'm doing a simple split off condition 1:
page = '.'.join(in.split('/')[-2:])
url = '/'.join(in.split('/')[:-2]) + '/'
Before I start winding my way down a complex path, I wanted to see if
anybody had an elegant approach to this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Trolling for New Web Host . . .
Thanks for your suggestions. I've Python on both my Win32 and Linux partitions of my laptop. Although, I suppose I should develop my CGI on the laptop (running Apache) first. Thanks, Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Trolling for New Web Host . . .
I've had the same web host (imhosted.com) for the past three years, and have had decent service. However, I'm also trying to learn Python the hard way--by doing. So, I figured I'd write a few Python CGIs (non-Zope). Unfortunately, my web host does not have mod_python. They only way I can run a python script is by using the .cgi extension. I'm not sure if I want to stick with my host and just call my apps index.cgi, or if I should move to a new server. If I were to move to a new server, which would you recomend, and why?

Re: Newbie Q: dynamically assigning object attribute
Well, my Perl way of doing it would be to have all attributes in a dict (hash), then create the accessor vi a dynamic function. I knew Python would have a right way to do it for Python, but when I went looking I neglected to look at the core of the language. I suppose I'm just too accustomed to the TIMTOWTDY approach to expect the one-ring-to-bind-them-all solution. :-) It's a mental shift on my part, to be certain. What I was actually doing was reading a user configuration file and setting an object's variables--the example I got was a fairly close approximation of how I was trying to approach it before setattr().

Re: Newbie Q: dynamically assigning object attribute
That's it. I should spend more time R-ingTFM. I kept looking for some class-based solution and there was a built in. Perfectly logical. Thanks, Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Newbie Q: dynamically assigning object attribute
I would like to dynamically assign object attributes:
dict = {
a : 1,
b : 2,
}
for key,val in dict :
obj.key = val
To get:
print obj.a

I've googled to no effect, or maybe I'm needing to be hit with the
appropriately sized clue-by-four. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Ternary Operator Now?
I read somewhere else that Python was getting a ternary operator (e.g. x = (true/false) ? y : z). I read the PEP about it and that the PEP had been approved this past Fall. Has this been released into the wild yet? IIRC, the operator is like: x = y if C : else z -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Another try at Python's selfishness
"But the point is, the current situation is not newbie-friendly (I can tell, I am a newbie)" I will agree to that, as I consider myself still new. _But_, it's a stumbling stone only briefly. Get enough nagging error messages, and you learn and move on. I agree with the grandparent poster that it is a perfect self-documenting thing, as the use of 'self' is pretty obvious. For a language that one can learn in a short time, this is a tempest in a teacup. I'm just trying to disown my several years of Perl. I like PHP too much and have no experience with Python in a CGI environment. So, I'm a little bit confused linguistically. ;-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
