Re: self modifying code

First of all, the test can be optimized by adding a boolean flag which indicates if the data has been initialized or not, and then just testing a boolean value instead of doing an "is" comparison, at the cost of an extra global variable. But this is still ugly (actually uglier IMO). I think this

Converting floating point to string in non-scientific format

Hi all: When I try to convert a float variable into string via repr() or str() function, i get the value as is, i.e '0.1e-7' in IEEE 754 format. Instead how can force the created string to represent the floating point in non-scientific fashion (non IEEE 754 format)? i.e something like 0.1

Daniel,Before writing your script, what is your general approach to backup configuration files? Do you tar/zip them into one file? Do you ftp/ssh each file to another server?
