The problem with that is you're simply reinventing ANSI.SYS device
driver.
An alternative API is you could override .__add__(), like so (completely
untested):
class Color(object):
def __init__(self, color):
self.color = map_the_color(color)
self.string =
def __add__(self, string):
self.string += string
return self
def __str__(self):
if terminal_can_do_ansi_color:
return ansicolorescape(self.string, self.color)
elif windows:
syscalltocolor(self.color)
print self.string
syscalltocolor(reset the color)
return
GREEN = Color('green')
print GREEN + Great + Good
you can even go a bit further and allow chained calls (again, completely
untested, but you get the idea):
class Color(object):
def __init__(self, color):
self.color = map_the_color(color)
self.stack = []
def __add__(self, string):
if isinstance(string, Color):
# not a string, chain the calls
self.stack.append((string.color, []]))
else:
# a string,
self.stack[-1][1].append(string)
return self
def __radd__(self, string):
self.stack.append([self.default, string])
return self
def __str__(self):
if ansi_capable:
return colorescape(format, string)
elif windows:
for format, string in self.stack:
syscalltocolor(color)
print string
return
GREEN = Color('green')
RED = Color('red')
print Fairly + GREEN + Great + RED + Poor
or something like that, and you will have an API that works
transparently on all platforms. The downside is that you cannot call
str(GREEN + foo) on windows.
Hey Lie,
Thanks heaps for the reply!
The problem with that is you're simply reinventing ANSI.SYS device
driver.
I don't see that as a problem - in fact I think it's exactly my
goal! :-)
The difference is that the ANSI driver requires installation and a
reboot on the end-user's computer, which is a fiddly and intrusive
thing for a Python developer to achieve. Whereas doing the same job in
a Python module is easy to use for the Python developer - they just
import the module, maybe call an 'init()' function, and then the ANSI
functionality works on all platforms.
Your ideas about generating and chaining the ANSI code strings are
great. I worry though, about intermingling the code that generates
ANSI escape sequences with the code which makes them work on Windows.
The problem is that then, only applications which use your ANSI-
generation library will work on Windows. Whereas if these two things
are kept separate, then applications which use any other ANSI-
generation techniques, such as using 'termcolor', or manaully printing
raw ANSI sequences, these can also all work on Windows too, simply by
adding an import and an 'init()' call to the start of the application.
Am I making sense? Many thanks for your thoughts.
Jonathan

You should use BeautifulSoup or perhaps regular expressions.
Or if you are not very smart, lik me, just try a brute force approach:
for i in s.split(''):
for e in i.split():
if '.' in e and e[0].isdigit():
print (e)
43.200
0.040
43.150
43.200
43.130

Project euler no. 3
Project euler (in case you don't know: projecteuler.net) I'm trying to do the third one and here's my current code: 1 def checkPrime (x): 2 factors=2; 3 while factors=x: 4 if x==factors: 5 return True; 6 elif x%factors==0: 7 return False; 8 elif x%factors!=0: 9 factors=factors+1; 10 11 factorl=[]; 12 factors=600851475142; 13 14 while factors != 1: 15 if 600851475143%factors==0: 16 if checkPrime(factors)==True: 17 print factors; 18 else: 19 factors=factors-1; 20 21 else: 22 factors=factors-1; 23 And it just gets frozen when I run it. I put a print Loop completed in one of the loops and it showed up just fine. So, there are two possibilities: 1. Its looping in the trillions and taking a while 2. I have a forever loop somewhere -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

But, I'm returning true or false right?

Re: Podcast catcher in Python
C shouldn't be very hard. You just get the url of the file you want to connect to, then just use the normal connect sequence and read the file and print it out to the UNIX shell, then at the unix shell, just pipe it to an MP3. Or you could just do it with FILE *.

Excuse my ignorance, but I am a complete noob at this. I downloaded the mp3, and I got a ton of hex, I think, but it could've been unicode. urllib.urlretrieve(): http://docs.python.org/library/urllib.html#urllib.urlretrieve Cheers, Chris Thanks Chris!
