Re: Format file size for printing

I know of no built-in way, but you could probably code this in a few lines using print "%.1f" and so on. (Some of us, by the way, are in the camp that believes a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, not 1000, so 103803 bytes for us is about 101.4 kilobytes). abcd wrote: > is there a built-in way of printing

why does close() fail miserably on popen with exit code -1 ?!

i ran onto this weirdness today: seems like close() on popen-ed (pseudo)file fails miserably with exception instead of returning exit code, when said exit code is -1. here is the simplest example (under Windows): >>> print popen('exit 1').close() 1 >>> print popen('exit -1').close() Traceback (mo
