Fwd: try...else
by Mark Hammond Dec. 29, 2000

Dec. 29, 2000

Spotted on c.l.python. Although Pythonwin is mentioned, python.exe gives the same results - as does 1.5.2. Seems a reasonable question... [Also, if Robin hasn't been invited to join us here, I think it could make some sense...] Mark. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: try...else Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 18:02:27 +0000 From: Robin Becker <robin(a)jessikat.fsnet.co.uk> Newsgroups: comp.lang.python I had expected that in try: except: else the else clause always got executed, … [View More]

scp to sourceforge
by Guido van Rossum Dec. 29, 2000

Dec. 29, 2000

I've seen a thread on this but there was no conclusive answer, so I'm reopening this. I can't SCP updated PEPs to the SourceForge machine. The "pep2html.py -i" command just hangs. I can ssh into shell.sourceforge.net just fine, but scp just hangs. "scp -v" prints a bunch of things suggesting that it can authenticate itself just fine, ending with these three lines: cj20424-a.reston1.va.home.com: RSA authentication accepted by server. cj20424-a.reston1.va.home.com: Sending command: scp -… [View More]

Help wanted with setup.py script
by A.M. Kuchling Dec. 28, 2000

Dec. 28, 2000

Want to help with the laudable goal of automating the Python build process? It'll need lots of testing on many different platforms, and I'd like to start the process now. First, download the setup.py script from http://www.amk.ca/files/python/setup.py Next, drop it in the root directory of your Python source tree and run "python setup.py build". If it dies with an exception, let me know. (Replies to this list are OK.) If it runs to completion, look in the Modules/build/lib.<… [View More]

Bookstore completed

Dec. 28, 2000

OK, I think I'm ready to declare the Python bookstore complete enough to go public. Before I set up redirects from www.python.org, please take another look. (More book descriptions would be helpful...) http://www.amk.ca/bookstore/ --amk

Miscellaneous 2.0 installation issues
by Eric S. Raymond Dec. 28, 2000

Dec. 28, 2000

I have 2.0 up and running on RH7.0, compiled from sources. In the process, I discovered a couple of issues: 1. The curses module is commented out in the default Modules/Setup file. This is not good, as it may lead careless distribution builders to ship Python 2.0s that will not be able to support the curses front end in CML2. Supporting CML2 (and thus getting Python the "design win" of being involved in the Linux kernel build) was the major point of integrating the curses module into the … [View More]

RE: [Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Misc python-mode.el,3.108,3.109

[Barry Warsaw] > Modified Files: > python-mode.el > Log Message: > (python-font-lock-keywords): Add highlighting of `as' as a keyword, > but only in "import foo as bar" statements (including optional > preceding `from' clause). Oh, that's right, try to make IDLE look bad, will you? I've got half a mind to take up the challenge. Unfortunately, I only have half a mind in total, so you may get away with this backstabbing for a while <wink>.

Tkinter support under RH 7.0?
by Eric S. Raymond Dec. 25, 2000

Dec. 25, 2000

I just upgraded to Red Hat 7.0 and installed Python 2.0. Anybody have a recipe for making Tkinter support work in this environment? -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a> "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." -- George Washington, in a speech of January 7, 1790
