Hi, like the concept, but no snow markers at all showing on IE. Is it a Firefox-only sort of thing?

The site you put isn't working but I research for this one and it's really great. Animal lovers would be very cool about this. And another cool idea from Honda.

Re: Python: Simple File Read and Write

Hi,
I am opening a file in r+ mode. I have a problem in this. If I first write in a file and then read the same file it is working fine. But some junk characters are added to the end of the string.
Also one more problem if I read it first say using readline function and then write it, the write operation doesn't happen. Any idea what might be the problem?

Disqus is a great commenting system. It makes my life a heck of a lot easier as a webmaster without having to fuss too much about approvals

Well,
I would argue that the input is a list already. If you are wanting to return a subset of the GeneCode list, I would do the following. There are more graceful ways to achieve this, but this method shows you the logic involved.

x = [0,1,2,3]
GeneCode = ['AAAA','AAAC','AAAG','AAAT']

def Li_to_GC(x):
newList = [GeneCode[i] for i in x]
return newList

print Li_to_GC(x)

In this case, you can then pass any numeric list to LI_to_GC and get the corresponding Genecodes list back.
I would check out this great List comprehension article here, and you can learn more. http://effbot.org/zone/pyth...

Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you Daniel, another problem:
x = [0,1,2,3]
GeneCode = ['AAAA','AAAC','AAAG','AAAT']
def Li_to_GC(x):
for i in x:
print GeneCode[i],
Li_to_GC(x)

How can convert the result to the list or string?

Re: Python: Simple File Read and Write

Daniel — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 14:55:59 -0000

All you need to do is specify the location of the file you want to save to.

So when opening the second file, specify the directory then.
Example on win32:
file = open("my_dir\\newfile.txt","w")
Example on *nix :
file = open("my_dir/newfile.txt","w")

This will create the new file in the directory "my_dir" assuming the directory exists in the same folder as your python script. You can also specify an absolute file path as well.

Hi, I have opened my file I have manipulated and I want save this new change in the other directory. At least I know that I should be use ' r ' for reading and ' w ' command for writing, but I do not know how I can make connection between readings and manipulate file and writing this manipulation in the other file.

I see we have a mutual friend...

Don't you think it's kinda funny that we work at a company where we help bloggers every day, yet neither of us has any time to blog?

I look forward to your return and your ski-infused goodness.

Re: Python File Read Write with Urllib2

Daniel — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:11:52 -0000

Hey daonb,

the only reason I could see an issue with large files, is if the socket connection times out.
If you see this happening, check out the socket module. You can import it within this function, and set temporary timeout settings.
