Hi,

for scripts that take arguments, I would like to remove the trailing
slash if it's present.

Is there something else than:

a='/usr/local/lib/'
if a[-1] == '/':
  a = list(a)
  a.pop()
  ''.join(a)

Thanks,
Mathieu


How about this:

if a[-1] == '/':
a = a[:-1]

Mike


Hi, how about
a.rstrip('/')
? Michael

 See Subject. It's a simple txt file, each line is a Python stmt, but I need 
 up to four digits added to each line with a space between the number field 
 and the text. Perhaps someone has already done this or there's a source on 
 the web for it. I'm not yet into files with Python. A sudden need has burst 
 upon me. I'm using Win XP.

Hi Wayne, sorry for that: Change OS, and type cat -n program.py  
numbered.py
Just joking, Mike

Re: How to use list as key of dictionary?

 We know that list cannot be used as key of dictionary.
 Yeah, but do we know why ?

I think, because lists are mutable and a key of a dictionary
MUST be unmutable, not to crash the dictionary by accidently
changing one of its keys!
