Re: Python dutch
Sybren Stuvel , I'd suggest learning English. The programming language is based on English anyway. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. To be even more exact, it would help to learn or even be Dutch to program in Python, as those quoted lines out of the ZEN might suggest. Harald -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Py: a very dangerous language
yoda It was 6 a.m just one more lambda...I'll really sleep now...seriously... I've got to go to work in a few hours I also love Python deeply, and really enjoyed the intense description of your experience. One experience I won and wanna share with you: allways go to bed exactly when you want to write the first lambda. That has 2 benefits: you get sleep, and your programs less lambda.

Re: query progress bar
it's for wx, the problem isn't making the progress bar itself, it's knowing how long the query is going to run for. i'm using pypgsql It is quite easy: from timemachine import oracle guesser=oracle(guess=SQL) guesser.set_hint(driver=pypgsql) guesser.set_hint(gui=wx) expected_runtime=guesser.estimate(put your query text here) Only problem is that the timemachine module is currently only installed on Guidos and Tims Python.

Re: Beware complexity
Philip, more often than not, all needed was included in Python years ago. Especially: I wonder if anyone has any thoughts not on where Python should go but where it should stop? The answer is included within the standard library. On any Python command prompt type: import this The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. Now is better than never. Although never is often better than *right* now. If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! Nothing wrong with coding conventions of course unless you: So coding conventions are more or less rendered as something of ancient times; Python has its Zen. (of course, as I said, included in the standard library) And: the fear that Python gets extended over sensible bounds maybe real. But: Just have a look within python.devel, what happens on any (pun intended) extension to builtins: It's a gentle and polite, nontheless strong and hard discussion; a real evolutionary survival test. Python is a healthy tree: it grows. But Guido and the Bots are thoughtfull gardeneres: they are not afraid to cut bad branches. Harald -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: head for grouped data - looking for best practice
Steve, Why don't you just pass a slice to itemgetter? py for key, bereich in groupby(eingabe, itemgetter(slice(0, 2))): WHOW, that is great! that makes it really simple, just have to structure the SQL to make a real cut first, serve first structure. Thanks to all who helped! also the function factory function bei Dietz was very helpfull; and Peters classes looked really impressive! Thanks again... now my code will be even clearer.

Re: overwriting method in baseclass
marc, So HOW can SVN be of any use for THIS prob? Take a look at the Subversion documentation (the book) and search for `Vendor branches`. [...] The section deals specifically with the situation how to manage 3rd party source code with subversion which you want to update from time to time and even apply some modifications. thank you very much for pointing this out! I did not even dare to hope to find sth. of this kind with a rcs for MY software. So I did not even start searching. Thank you, Harald -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

overwriting method in baseclass
Hello! I am using a library (= code of so else) within Python. Somewhere in this library there is: class foo: def baa(self, parameters): print something self.baazanan(some other parameters) class mirbo(foo): def baazanan(self, lalala): print heylo tada class fujiko(foo): def baazanan(self, ltara): print sing a song with me now I want to change the common baa-method. so that def baa(self, parameters): print soemthing special self.baazanan(some other parameters) Of course, I use a Python- and GPL-Licence compatible library, I can change the source of foo, and use my changed library. But someday, it happened before, there will be an update by the publisher to that library and I have to do all again. So, what is the most elegant solution to administer these changes?

Re: py2exe problem
Thomas Heller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: A software development system which REALLY solves the encodings problem WITHOUT creating a swarm of new ones could would challange even my devotedness to Python : AFAIK, McMillan Installer solves this by including all the encodings stuff by default, and it has a --ascii flag to override this behaviour. Would that be a solution? Thomas, I solved the headaches with py2exe and encodings, again and again ... even documented some of these steps within the wiki. But encodings still give me new pain any day: storing filenames to databases, displaying filenames in windows-controls, sending database-extracts to excel or word ... time on time encodings and/or unicode errors pop up and cause me misery. So my cryout is for a solution for all encoding-problems like the python for-loop or list-comprehensions: elegant, simple, robust, flexible. Easy to use, easy to implement.
