Re: lambda functions ?
Maybe you would like a generator: >>> def f(n): ... while True: ... n += 1 ... yield n ... >>> a = f(5) >>> >>> a.next() 6 >>> a.next() 7 >>> a.next() 8 >>> a.next() 9 >>> On 2/5/07, Maxim Veksler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > I'm new on this list and in python. > > It seems python has some interesting concept of "ad hoc" function > which I'm trying to understand without much success. > > Take the following code for example: > > """ > >>> def make_incrementor(n): > ... return lambda x: x + n > ... > >>> f = make_incrementor(42) > >>> f(0) > 42 > >>> f(1) > 43 > """ > > I really don't understand whats going on here. > On the first instantiating of the object "f" where does "x" gets it's > value?

Re: string.find for case insensitive search
string.find is deprecated as per the official python documentation. take a look at the "re" module On 7 Feb 2007 12:53:36 -0800, Johny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is there a good way how to use string.find function to find a > substring if I need to you case insensitive substring? > Thanks for reply > LL > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: string.find for case insensitive search
My apologies, I confused the built-in "str" with the module "string".
