Hi All,
I am playing with reportlab and I would like to make a directory where I
can place all of my projects as ___.py files.
A project file should be like this:
test.py--------
title="Test project"
duedate = '2007-02-28'
description = "description _________"
detailed="""
detaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetailed
detaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetailed
detaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetailed
detaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetailed
detaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetaileddetailed
"""
test.py--------
I plan to make a python script, that collect all the projectfiles from
that folder and render them as a report summary.
I planned to import these files as modules like
for filename in glob.glob('*.py'):
if '_' in filename: continue
import filename
render(filename)
Probably you have better ideas to do that.
Yours sincerely,

This won't work, the import statement does not take a variable as an
argument. You need something like
module = __import__(filename)
render(module)
You will want to take care that your modules don't have any side effects
on import.

You might want to look at the existing Python document generation tools.
There is a summary here (be sure to read the comments and the original
post just below this one):
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_12_30.shtml#e599
In particular PythonDoc supports structured comments that are similar to
what you outlined and has pluggable output generators that could be used
to drive ReportLab.

... my many apologies to the readers of the tutor
list. I went away for a week without suspending delivery
just as my company changed name - and decided to send
an irritating response to anything directed at the
old name. The list admin has very properly unsubscribed
the old address (otherwise you'd be seeing loads more
of the things!). Sorry again. Hope it didn't spoil your
new year.

Subject: [Tutor] 'root' dir of a package from within the package ?
To: Python Tutor <[email protected]>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi all,
I have written a python package, which works fine, the 'root' directory
is 'my_app' with sub directories within in, complete with there
__init__.py
files.
I need to work out the path to the root directory from within the app,
os.path
gives me pythons path! - oh and its in XP.
Any suggestions ?
Dave

One and two byte strings are currently optimized in cPython as the same
object, referenced multiple times.
Note that this is not to be relied upon! Jython, Ironpython, Python3000
or cPython itself may break it!
Still cannot find a reference doc for this....

Hi Dave,
app_root = os.path.abspath(sys.path[0]) or, within the main executable .py
file,
app_root = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) should do the trick.
I hope this helps
Michael
