Re: Is (-1 ==True) True or False? Neither

I don't see how fixing this makes harder to treat True and False as first-class objects. If doing the right thing takes some special casing then be it, but I don't think it's so. True in ['something', False] In your semantics, this would evaluate to True because ('something' == True) is True.

Parsing a string into a datetime object

Good day. Might someone comment on why %f is not accepted as a valid field directive in: >>> from datetime import datetime >>> created="2009-01-24 16:04:55.882788" >>> dt = datetime.strptime(created,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f") Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/System/

RegEx issues

Using python 2.4.4 on OpenSolaris 2008.11 I have the following string created by opening a url that has the following string in it: td[ct] = [[ ... ]];\r\n The ... above is what I'm interested in extracting which is really a whole bunch of text. So I think the regex \[\[(.*)\]\]; should do it.

practical limits of urlopen()

Hi, Am I going to have problems if I use urlopen() in a loop to get data from 3000+ URLs? There will be about 2KB of data on average at each URL. I will probably run the script about twice per day. Data from each URL will be saved to my database. I'm asking because I've never opened that many
