Re: Multiplying sequences with floats

d you have an integer number, but unfortunatly with type float. Well, I guess that's life :) Again, a small cast like that is not a problem for me, so I can't really comment on this. Keep well Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Multiplying sequences with floats

this whole issue is actually a non-issue to me, and I don't want to give the impression I think there is a problem here; just interested in the // operator is all :) regards Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Free Python IDE ?

ython; the few times I have needed debugging, SPE did the job well. I also like that SPE automatically checks my code with tabnanny and pychecker. That way I don't have to do anything extra to use these tools. Oh, and SPE is free. Keep well Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: python challenge question (string manipulation)

ady in the builtins or the standard library for this, but I just haven't searched hard enough. Interesting trap I kept falling into: calling a guitar string a "string" and then having collisions with the python type of the same name. Over and over again :) Regards Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Simple py script to calc folder sizes

ks as though there may be an issue with permissions (and not having enough) on subfolders within a tree. I don't want you to work too hard on what is my problem, but are there any ideas that jump out at you? Regards Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Matplotlib: How to set number of ticks on an axis?

2, 5, 10]) I don't understand what this means :) I would prefer not to hack this directly in the matplotlib code. How can I change the number of ticks on an axis programmatically without messing with the other ticklabel functionality? Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Convert Word .doc to Acrobat .pdf files

If you can find some API documentation for PDFMWord.dll, you can call its methods with the ctypes python module. Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
