You should change ALL of the functions so that they accept an fd as the first parameter, and then pass i2c_fd into the functions here. Alternatively, you could create a wrapper class to hold the fd and make the function methods on that class. >while "azz": >i2c_start () I'm curious. What do you think "while" statement is doing?

Re: Is there a regular expression for finding email address ?

lt >found, you can get one. The OP should be aware, however, that a regular expression which matches the complete specification in RFC-822 and RFC-2822 is approximately 7,000 characters long. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Is it possible to change a picture resolution with Python?

;very important thing" in this script is the "im.resize", which smoothly stretches the image so that it has 2.5 times as many pixels as before. It is that stretching which allows you to change the DPI in the header, and yet still have it print at the same size. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Is it possible to change a picture resolution with Python?

to continue to print as 3" x 3", but to have three times as many pixels in each direction? That means you have to increase the number of pixels to 900x900. That's exactly what the code above is doing. The image file will be 9 times larger. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
