Understanding search queries, semantics, and "Meaning" ...aren't we all looking for meaning?

2008-12-30 Thread 5lvqbwl02
I have Section 4.4.1 of SICP rattling around in my head (database queries), and I'm trying to come up with a simple dictionary-based database in Python to represent circuit diagrams. My main confusion isn't one of implementation, but a matter of "big thinking", fundamentally, about the problem. Pl

embedding python in wxpython

Hi, I've looked around for a way to allow a python console from within a wxPython application, but have only found stuff on embedded/ extending python with C/C++ or wxWidgets in C++, but not wxPython. Is this easy to do? Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, typically when you embed

Doing set operation on non-hashable objects

2008-12-24 Thread 5lvqbwl02
Hi, I'm writing an application which is structured roughly as follows: "db" is a dict, where the values are also dicts. A function searches through db and returns a list of values, each of which is a dict as described above. I need to perform set operations on these lists (intersection and union)

Brain going crazy with recursive functions

2008-12-06 Thread 5lvqbwl02
I'm trying to solve the 9-tile puzzle using as functional an approach as possible. I've recently finished reading SICP and am deliberately avoiding easy python-isms for the more convoluted scheme/functional methods. The following function is trivial to do with for loops and directly accessing arr

Windows XP SP3 Python 2.5 wx.version() = '2.8.1.1 (msw-unicode)' -- I have written the following *simplest* implementation of wx.timer I can think of. No workie. I want an exception, a print statement, or something. The wxpython demos all work, but for some reason this isn't. The demos are
