for dir in ['', r'c:\windows\system32', r'c:\winnt\system32']:
Can we get rid of these absolute paths? Something like this should suffice:
from ctypes import * buf = create_string_buffer(4096) windll.kernel32.GetSystemDirectoryA(buf, 4096) 17 buf.value.decode("mbcs") u'C:\\WINNT\\system32'
I'd like to, but i don't want to use a method for finding the system directory that depends on ctypes. Is there a more general way?
for function in functions: try: _node = function() except: continue
This also hides typos and whatnot.
The intended semantics of getnode() are that it cannot fail. The individual *_getnode() functions do throw exceptions if something goes wrong, and so they can be tested individually on platforms where they are expected to work. -- ?!ng
