Hey Alan! Is there a dict program for the MacOS flavour of *nix? That's a slick little bit of code but it doesn't work on my Mac:
robertk01$ dict -bash: dict: command not found but it works fine when I ssh into a Linux box... > > OTOH, if you are happy with those ideas: > >>> word = raw_input("enter your word >>") >>> put, get=os.popen4("dict -d wn " + (word)) >>> for lines in get.readlines(): >>> print lines _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
