Hi all,
I'm working on an application that will be used by several users at the same
time. The user should be able to both read and write to some data file
stored on our file server. My question is: how can I prevent that one user
writes to the file while another user is reading it?
I've seen
Thank you, Tim.
The portalocker code seems to prevent reading while the file is locked for
writing, but it doesn't seem to prevent multiple writes (nor multiple
exclusive locks, for that matter).
I guess it'd be better if I use the second suggestion, i.e. temporarily
renaming the file for
Correction: it's probably best to use the Flock class by John Nielsen. Much
cleaner and working great. Info can be found here:

Hi all,
Suppose you have this class:
class foo:
def bar():
Suppose you also have the strings foo and bar. How can you obtain the
function foo.bar()?
Surely somebody knows..
TIA,

Thanks for the feedback, people.
I actually only need the bar part (instance methods). I added the foo
part to generalize the question without really thinking it through first.
Still, it has gotten me more information than I ever imagined. So thanks
again.

Yes! I finally got it to work. I've written a VBscript which I'll call from
python. It uses Outlook.Redemption's SafeMailItem. No need to use IMAP or
whatever services.
Only weird thing is it doesn't put the msg in the Inbox, as I intended, but
in the Drafts folder. Well, never mind that, it's
python version:
import win32com.client
myOL = win32com.client.Dispatch(Outlook.Application)
myNS = myOL.GetNamespace(MAPI)
sItem = win32com.client.Dispatch(Redemption.SafeMailItem)
myDestBox = myNS.GetDefaultFolder(6)
oItem = myDestBox.Items.Add(0)
sItem.Item = oItem
Ok, we didn't have the IMAP service running; we do now (no SSL).
Connecting to the server is not a problem anymore, but logging in is. It
works with the administrator account, but not with my personal account. We
have restricted access to all machines in 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0, which

the internal one (10.0.0.2). I'm sure there's a way to get over this, isn't
Are you saying it's unsafe to do that? I only need this for an application
running locally, I mean, from within our LAN domain. We do have Exchange
webmail.
I've asked our Exchange expert wether or not IMAP is running; awaiting an

Nope, same problem. I think TJG might be right, and our server probably
doesn't have IMAP running (yet).

Hi all,
I've been writing some code to move some data into and out of Outlook (2003

I'm trying to generate a (exhaustive) list of all the applications that are

Good question. Let me try to elaborate: I would like to know if people in

software packages

OK, a slightly more intelligent idea in place of my previous

which is like a beefed-up os.startfile.
we'll be able to fully automate it, though. The

No, the subject is a good way to refer to past posts. I just meant
