Re: Newbie append() question
Thanks guys. Your solutions worked. I'm still not sure why it was grabbing the prompt string though. Thanks again, Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
noob import question
OK, I have a very simple class here: class Student: Defines the student class def __init__(self, lName, fName, mi): self.lName = lName self.fName = fName self.mi = mi Then I have a small script that I am using as a test: from Student import * s1 = Student(Brian, Smith, N) print s1.lName This works as expected. However, if I change the import statement to: import Student I get an error: TypeError: 'module' object is not callable I have tried to look up what is going on, but I have not found anything. Would it be possible for someone to take a minute and give an explanation? Thank you - your time is appreciated. Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: noob import question
Thank you for your responses. I had a feeling is had something to do with a namespace issue but I wasn't sure. You are right, I do come from a Java background. If it is poor form to name your class file the same as your class, can I ask what the standard is? Thanks again, Brian On May 19, 2006, at 8:33 AM, Diez B. Roggisch wrote: I have tried to look up what is going on, but I have not found anything. Would it be possible for someone to take a minute and give an explanation? The from module import *|nameslist syntax imports some or all names found in module into the current modules namespace. Thus you can access your class. But if you do import module you only get module in your current namespace. So you need to access anything inside module by prefixing the expression. In your case, it is Student.Student If you only write Student, that in fact is the MODULE Student, which explains the error message. Now while this sounds as if the from module import * syntax is the way to go, you should refrain from that until you really know what you are doing (and you currently _don't_ know), as this can introduce subtle and difficult to debug bugs. If you don't want to write long module- names, you can alias them: import moduel-with-long-name as shortname And it seems as if you have some JAVA-background, putting one class in one file called the same as the class. Don't do that, it's a stupid restriction in JAVA and should be avoided in PYTHON. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Complex evaluation bug
I am not exactly sure what is going on, but I get the error: ValueError: complex() arg is a malformed string I think that it might be because the value of 'j' is not defined.

Newbie append() question
I promise that this is not homework. I am trying to self teach here and have run into an interesting problem. I have created a method that asks for a class name and then is supposed to add it to classes []. Here is a snippet: def getCurrentClasses(): classes = [] print 'Please enter the class name. When finished enter D.' while (c != D): c = raw_input(Enter class name) if (c != D): classes.append(c) I have been running this in the interactive interpreter and if I print the list I get the string Enter class name as the first entry in the list and what was supposed to be the first entry as the second element like this: Enter class name: cs1 ['Enter class name: cs1'] I guess that I assumed that c would be equal to the value entered by the user not the prompt string. It actually looks like it is taking the whole thing as one string. But then if I enter more classes I get this: Enter class name: cs2 ['Enter class name: cs1', 'cs2'] So with the second and successive inputs, it appends the entered string. Hopefully someone could enlighten me as to what is going on and maybe offer a suggestion to help me figure this one out.

Re: playing with pyGoogle - strange codec error

You know, I am beginning to think that I MAY have stumbled on a bug
here. At first I was thinking that this issue was related to the
offending character being out of range for the Mac. Then I tried it on
A MS machine and a linux box; all with the same error.
This does not happen when I wrote the same script in java. This is
making me wonder if there is an issue with the wrapper for the google
api that was originally done in java.
For the sake of it, here is the full code (minus my google key). It is
going to look wierd, but those print statements are there so that I
dont have to open the file it is writing to every time I want to see
stuff. it has my name hard coded into the search query. The commented
r.snippet.encode(mac_roman) was there to see if by changing the
encoding, I could make it work (no luck). I also tried putting
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
right after the shebang (as listed here:
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html). Again, no help.
Anyway, here is the code
import google
google.LICENSE_KEY = 'insertKeyHere'
#print google.doSpellingSuggestion('helllo')
data = google.doGoogleSearch('Brian Blazer')
print 'Found %d results' % len(data.results)
searchData = open('searchData.txt','w')
for r in data.results:
#r.snippet.encode('mac_roman')
searchData.write ('Title: ' + r.title + '\n' + '\n')
searchData.write ('URL: ' + r.URL + '\n' + '\n')
searchData.write ('Snippet: ' + r.snippet + '\n' + '\n'+'\n')
print r.URL
print r.title
print r.snippet

playing with pyGoogle - strange codec error
Hello, I am playing around with pyGoogle and encountered an error that I have never seen, and I am unsure how to correct for it. Here is a code snippet: for r in data.results: print 'Title: ',r.title print 'URL: ',r.URL print 'Summary: ',r.snippet print Everything works fine until I get to r.snippet. Here is the error: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\ua9' in position 119: ordinal not in range(128) Any help is appreciated.
