Hi list,

i'm running Ubuntu Hardy Desktop and i've installed Tim Golden WMI.
However importing wmi module i have this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wmi.py", line 141, in
from win32com.client import GetObject, Dispatch
ImportError: cannot import name GetObject

I can import win32com.client without problems.
Do i need to install any extra package?
On win i suppose i need win32 extensions, but on linux?

Thank you!

I have a very large list of integers representing data needed for a
histogram that I'm going to plot using pylab. However, most of these
values (85%%-95%%) are zero and I would like to remove them to reduce
the amount of memory I'm using and save time when it comes to plotting
the data. To do this, I'm trying to find the best way to remove all of
the zero values and produce a list of indices of where the non-zero
values used to be.

For example, if my original list is [0,0,1,2,1,0,0] I would like to
produce the lists [1,2,1] (the non zero values) and [2,3,4] (indices
of where the non-zero values used to be). Removing non-zero values is
very easy but determining the indicies is where I'm having difficulty.

Thanks in advance for any help

If you use Python to, in effect, call well-written C functions, and most
of the computation time is spent in the C functions, then the total time
may be less than using C++ to call C or C++ functions that have not been
as heavily optimized. (Python is nearly 2 decades old, and several
people have perused the code base looking for speedups.)

Use os.path.join

import os
folders = ['1A2B', '1A6W', '56Y7']
for x in folders:
f = open(os.path.join('my/path/way', x, 'my_file.txt'), 'r')

Thanks for correcting my typo norseman.

Ben: I forgot a slash after the first string as norseman pointed out.

Almost correct: There is a typo. Should read:

for x in folders:
open('my/path/way/'+x+'/myfile.txt','r')

Hi!

Try this

for x in folders:
open('my/path/way'+x+'myfile.txt','r')

Cheers,

Hi fans,

I want to use a 'for' iteration to manipulate files in a set of folders,
something like:

folders= ['1A28','1A6W','56Y7']
for x in folders:
print x # print the current folder
f = open('my/path/way/x/my_file.txt', 'r')
...

where 'x' in the pathway should iterate over '1A28','1A6W','56Y7'. How
should I identify 'x' in the pathway line as the same x that is
iterating over 'folders'?

I am getting the following error:

hello,

I'm working on a general database manager,
which will be open source
and should preferable work under all OS.

Now in windows I can find the ODBC databases by reading some reg key.
I also know that ODBC is supported under Linux (I don't know anything of
Linux),
but how can I get all ODBC databases in a platform independant way ?

thanks,
