Hi,<br><br>You could try the C preprocessor. Personally, I'd just go for python's inbult logging framework, and worry about the performance issue later. <br><br>Regards<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 1:07 AM, Vishal <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vsapre80@gmail.com" target="_blank">vsapre80@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello,<div><br></div><div>We would like to have debug and release versions of our scripts. However since the scripts are directly used by the 'users' and they are not real software guys...maintaining two different scripts and then keeping them synchronized across 15-20 workstations etc is not something that the management wants.</div>
<div>Scripts are complex enough that we cannot abstract out all the variables into config files....which might have been easier for users (just change parameters in a config file)</div><div><br></div><div><b>Is there a way to create a conditionally compilable Python script ?</b> Some facility that would prevent from code getting compiled into ".pyc"....something like the old #ifdef #endif preprocessor directives....is there a Python preprocessory available :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>if thats doable I can ask them to make all experimental modifications within the conditional directives. I could still ask them to do that using simple if's and bool parameters, however, putting too many ifs might degrade the performance of these scripts. ("the lesser the branches the better it is for processor performance...more so for super scalar processors")</div>
<div><br></div><div>We cannot use the, often unknown, __debug__ flag, because our users would like to simply double-click on a python file, which means to use the -O or -OO options (which sets __debug__ to False) we'd have to make windows python command line have these, and then double clicking would be of no use if you want the run stuff inside the __debug__.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any and every help is most welcome :) <br><br></div><div>Thanks and best regards,</div><div>Vishal Sapre<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 1:25 PM, Sam's Lists <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:samslists@gmail.com" target="_blank">samslists@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Your text is in utf-8 encoding and pattern in unicode.<br>
Make text unicode solves the issue.<br>
<br>
text = u"The Price £7"<br>
<div>pattern = u"£\d"<br>
m = re.search(pattern, text, re.UNICODE)<br>
</div>print m.group(0).encode('utf-8')<br>
