Re: problems with smtplib
just got home and i've tried my script on windows with my isp's smtp
server, and found that my code wasn't getting past the s.connect()
changed me code to:
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.lineone.net')
s.sendmail(me, to, msg.as_string())
s.quit()
and now it works fine

But... funnily this works fine:
import smtplib
s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.mail.ru')
s.sendmail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'hi
there!')
s.quit()
That's pretty strange: the second argument should be a list. Are you
*sure* it worked?
No longer required (as of at least Python 2.3 if not earlier).
to_addrs : A list of addresses to send this mail to. A bare string
will be treated as a list with 1 address. (from smtplib.py sendmail()
docstring)
Oops. Documentation bug. Fortunately it looks like it's been fixed in
response to bug 1217513. Thanks for the tip, Peter.

Re: command line arguments
What's the purpose of this utility? Is it to do something with the URL? And the URL must always be specified? What about the name? Also mandatory, or optional? The relationship between the two? its just a simple rss reader. i'm writing it almost purely just to get me using language (i'm learning python) it lets you save rss feeds, and to do this one would specify a name and url (ie you have to specify both), but there are other things it can do (remove a rss feed, view a feed) hence i thought it was best to using command line options You also could opt for the OptionParser in optparse.. Thanks, i'll take a look On 8/31/05, Michael Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: pyparser.add_option(-n, --name, dest=name, action=store, py help=enter a name) pyparser.add_option(-u, --url, action=store, dest=url, help = enter an url) It's worth noting that this will have the same effect and involves less repetitive typing: parser.add_option(-n, --name, help=enter a name) parser.add_option(-u, --url, help=enter a url) Discovering this has made optparse usage much more painless for me, and also reduces the incidence of those nasty multiple line option additions.

command line arguments
hi i am writing a little script and currently implementing command line arguments following the guide by mark pilgrim from dive into python; http://diveintopython.org/scripts_and_streams/command_line_arguments.html thats all fine, however i am not sure of the BEST way to handle multiple command line arguments for my script, i want to be able to accept two arguments, a name and a url, but i am not sure if its best to use one command line option/flag (eg -n to specify name) and then grab the url from the extra data which will be in 'args': opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], n:, [name=]) or to have two command line options/flags, -n and -u, and checking that these have both been specified and then proceeding (this might be a little messier) any tips would be much appreciated thanks in advance jon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
ideas for university project ??
Hi I'm about to start my third, and final, year in computer science at cambridge uni, and i need to come up with an idea for a software project, but i'm really struggling for ideas, and i was wondering whether anyone here had any suggestions. I'd say i'm probably most experienced in Java, but I have started learning Python, and although i haven't got very far yet, I plan on doing some more in the next few weeks. Areas of interested include AI, distributed systems. Most of all i want something that is interesting, and actually useful (thats probably stating the obvious!)

I am not just looking for a project for a grade, I want to do something interesting and useful, and I also need to start thinking about the future, and if I really enjoy my project then maybe it's something I'd consider focusing on in the future. if you're serious, we can use your help! we're starting a project to create a business dealing with used texbooks for universities on US/Canadian college campuses. think ebay/craigslist meets the college campus. the project will invlove a great deal of distributed/parallel processing as we build the grid/spidering functionality to create the underlying databases.. I don't think my university would be too keen on this, because any work I do will, I expect, largely depend on the work of othersif something falls through then I'd be a bit screwed. But thanks anyway for the suggestion. It would, however, be perfectly acceptable to build upon a well established piece of open source software - this is very common. Thanks for all of the other suggestions, I'll research them a little bit more, and I may email some of you directly for more info if that's ok.

Database of non standard library modules...
Is there an online database of non standard library modules for Python? Quite often people who email this list are after a module to do a certain task. If it doesn't exist I think that an online database, to which people could add details of modules, and which people could search, would be an extremely valuable resource. Just wondering if anyone could tell me if something like this exists (probably does), and if not, I'll get to work :) Cheers Jon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: up to date books?
mark pilgrim's dive into python is a good book if you're new to python i also have python cookbook, and foundations of python network programming - i haven't really had a chance to look at these in detail yet but both of these look good On 8/18/05, Paul Dale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I highly recommend the Safari library service from Oreilly ( http://safari.oreilly.com ) you can check out all of the books listed below and about 10,000 more. The library contains much more than just Oreilly's books, but they are, of course, all in there. The first 2 weeks is free after that it's $20/month. You can check out 10 books at a time and you have to keep them for a month. You can download chapters, print pages, and search all the books in the library, as well as search across books you've checked out. It's a great way to get access to a broad range of technical books.

No. Python did not changed too much since rel. 1.5. You can still use a book published in 2001 as a introductory book (as I do).

Re: Python IDE's
I do use Vim a lot. I am currently using it for some PHP development i'm doing. I'm been using it so much recently that i keep pressing ESC and typing vi commands out of vi. But, if i use Vi, then whenever i want to test some code i have to open up python, import the necessary modules and run it - I like the idea of developing python in an IDE and just hitting a run button.

I thought that Vi (Vim) was some kind of weird and ancient legacy program that just never caught up with the times. About 3 or 4 months ago, I had a truly large amount of ascii text editing and formatting to do and in a plea for advice, I got the standard cliche replies to try Vim. Having nothing to lose, I gave it a shot. It took only about two weeks before I was competent, but it was probably the greatest time investment I have ever made. I now use Vim for any text editing purpose, and especially python coding. No doubt, the majority of people who read your post will instantly ignore it - but I know from personal experience that it would take a very special IDE to compete with Vim for the manipulation of text (GUI design, of course, is another story altogether). regards Caleb On Mon, 01 Aug 2005 18:57:51 +0200, projecktzero [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: VIM or Emacs.

However, I do not want to recode the navigation part of the site which is currently coded using PHP.
