Hi, I am new to this list, and also to Python.
I am trying to get Python to loop through the directory DATADIR which
contains the data I want to read. I get an error: "oserror [errno 20]
: Not a directory: "Katiescint.py"
The section of code is shown below:
for subdir in os.listdir(DATADIR):

Hi All,
I can't find the defined() function
in python, so I used
'variable name' in dir()
for check if the variable defined.
>>> name = 'Joe'
>>> if 'name' in dir():
... print name
...
Joe
Is it really missing, or I am just
so simple ?
Yours sincerely,

I'm not entirely sure where you'd want
to use this,
I just thumped my head against the wall for a few hours on something,
and I was wondering if it's just my green-ness in Python, or if I'm
doing something unsavory.
I had several list comprehensions that I was mucking with; these lists
are working on a simple subclass of the built-in list object. T

It is really missing, just as it is for most programming languages.
Which language(s) do you know that has such a feature?

Hi Victor,
Another approach is to use the badly-named "setdefault()" method which is
a close analogue to Perl's "autovivification" feature:

And since 2.4?

Excellent point; new toy, got carrid away :) I feel silly on that one.
And now that I've made the
return list.extend(foo)
mistake, I'll surely neve- ... er, wa

I'm not the original poster, but being a perlhead before, I can say it
exists in Perl. It is very often used too.
I used to miss it at first,

Hello!
The common idiom in Perl, I think, is to at least declare the variable,
even if one doesn't give an initial value

Hah! Good tip. I'll call it value()
I think "language wars" are a waste of time, but
I like the way that using different languages
inform the programmer.

Hi all,
How can we know that one specific file is already exist in filesystem?
for instance, I want to read zipfile by issuing code:
import zipfile
ziparchive = zipfile.ZipFile(inputfilename, "r")
if the inputfilename doesn't exist then an error would be occurred.
I want to catch up this special

Have a look in the os and os.path modules.
In this case, os.path.exists is probably what you want:
if not os.path.exists(inputfilename):
print 'Oops, file does not exist!'

Well coming up with this has made me really love Python. I worked on
this with my online pythonpenpal Kyle, and here is what we came up
with. Thanks to all for input so far.
My first idea was to use a C-type indexing for-loop, to grab a two-
element sequence [i, i+1]:
dict = {}
for i in rang
My only comment is that this considers spaces and punctuation (like parentheses, brackets, etc.), too, which I assume you don't want seeing as how that has little to do with natural languages. My suggestion would be to remove the any punctuation or whitespace keys from the dictionary after you've

A simple query is that the python mailing List is python powered
