+<H2><A NAME="1.1">1.1. What is Python?</A></H2>
+Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
+language.  It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very
+high level dynamic data types, and classes.  Python combines
+remarkable power with very clear syntax.  It has interfaces to many
+system calls and libraries, as well as to various window systems, and
+is extensible in C or C++.  It is also usable as an extension language
+for applications that need a programmable interface.  Finally, Python
+is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on the Mac, and on PCs
+under MS-DOS, Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2.
+<P>
+To find out more, the best thing to do is to start reading the
+tutorial from the documentation set (see a few questions further
+down).
+<P>
+See also question 1.17 (what is Python good for).

+Apart from being a computer scientist, I'm also a fan of "Monty
+Python's Flying Circus" (a BBC comedy series from the seventies, in

+And I happened to be reading some scripts from the series at the
+time...  So then I decided to call my language Python.

+By now I don't care any more whether you use a Python, some other

+Python versions are numbered A.B.C or A.B.  A is the major version
+number -- it is only incremented for really major changes in the
+language.  B is the minor version number, incremented for less
+earth-shattering changes.  C is the micro-level -- it is
+incremented for each bugfix release.  See PEP 6 for more information
+about bugfix releases.
+<P>
+Not all releases have bugfix releases.
+Note that in the past (ending with 1.5.2),
+micro releases have added significant changes;
+in fact the changeover from 0.9.9 to 1.0.0 was the first time
+that either A or B changed!
+<P>
+Alpha, beta and release candidate versions have an additional suffixes.
+The suffix for an alpha version is "aN" for some small number N, the
+suffix for a beta version is "bN" for some small number N, and the
+suffix for a release candidate version is "cN" for some small number N.
+<P>
+Note that (for instance) all versions labeled 2.0aN precede the
+versions labeled 2.0bN, which precede versions labeled 2.0cN, and
+<I>those</I> precede 2.0.
+<P>
+As a rule, no changes are made between release candidates and the final
+release unless there are show-stopper bugs.
+<P>
+You may also find version numbers with a "+" suffix, e.g. "2.2+".
+These are unreleased versions, built directly from the CVS trunk.
+<P>
+See also the documentation for sys.version, sys.hexversion, and
+sys.version_info.

+I had extensive experience with implementing an interpreted language

+Python features, including the use of indentation for statement
+grouping and the inclusion of very-high-level data types (although the
+details are all different in Python).
+<P>
+I had a number of gripes about the ABC language, but also liked many
+of its features.  It was impossible to extend the ABC language (or its
+implementation) to remedy my complaints -- in fact its lack of
+extensibility was one of its biggest problems.
+I had some experience with using Modula-2+ and talked with the
+designers of Modula-3 (and read the M3 report).  M3 is the origin of
+the syntax and semantics used for exceptions, and some other Python
+features.
+<P>
+I was working in the Amoeba distributed operating system group at
+CWI.  We needed a better way to do system administration than by
+writing either C programs or Bourne shell scripts, since Amoeba had
+its own system call interface which wasn't easily accessible from the
+Bourne shell.  My experience with error handling in Amoeba made me
+acutely aware of the importance of exceptions as a programming
+language feature.
+<P>
+It occurred to me that a scripting language with a syntax like ABC
+but with access to the Amoeba system calls would fill the need.  I
+realized that it would be foolish to write an Amoeba-specific
+language, so I decided that I needed a language that was generally
+extensible.
+<P>
+During the 1989 Christmas holidays, I had a lot of time on my hand,
+so I decided to give it a try.  During the next year, while still
+mostly working on it in my own time, Python was used in the Amoeba
+project with increasing success, and the feedback from colleagues made
+me add many early improvements.
+<P>
+In February 1991, after just over a year of development, I decided
+to post to USENET.  The rest is in the Misc/HISTORY file.

+<H2><A NAME="1.17">1.17. What is Python good for?</A></H2>
+Python is used in many situations where a great deal of dynamism,
+ease of use, power, and flexibility are required.  
+<P>
+In the area of basic text
+manipulation core Python (without any non-core extensions) is easier
+to use and is roughly as fast as just  about any language, and this makes Python
+good for many system administration type tasks and for CGI programming
+and other application areas that manipulate text and strings and such.
+<P>
+When augmented with
+standard extensions (such as PIL, COM, Numeric, oracledb, kjbuckets, 
+tkinter, win32api, etc.)
+or special purpose extensions (that you write, perhaps using helper tools such
+as SWIG, or using object protocols such as ILU/CORBA or COM) Python 
+becomes a very convenient "glue" or "steering"
+language that helps make heterogeneous collections of unrelated
+software packages work together.
+For example by combining Numeric with oracledb you can help your
+SQL database do statistical analysis, or even Fourier transforms.
+One of the features that makes Python excel in the "glue language" role
+is Python's simple, usable, and powerful C language runtime API.
+<P>
+Many developers also use Python extensively as a graphical user
+interface development aide.

+Very stable.  New, stable releases have been coming out roughly every 3 to 12 months since 1991, and this seems likely to continue.

+With the introduction of retrospective "bugfix" releases the stability of the language implementations can be, and is being, improved independently of the new features offered by more recent major or minor releases. Bugfix releases, indicated by a third component of the version number, only fix known problems and do not gratuitously introduce new and possibly incompatible features or modified library functionality.

+Release 2.2 got its first bugfix on April 10, 2002. The new version

+<H2><A NAME="2.12">2.12. Is Python a good language in a class for beginning programmers?</A></H2>
+Yes.  This long answer attempts to address any concerns you might
+have with teaching Python as a programmer's first language.  
+(If you want to discuss Python's use in education, then 
+you may be interested in joining the edu-sig mailinglist.
+See <A HREF="http://www.python.org/sigs/edu-sig">http://www.python.org/sigs/edu-sig</A>/ )
+<P>
+It is still common to start students with a procedural
+(subset of a) statically typed language such as Pascal, C, or
+a subset of C++ or Java.  I think that students may be better
+served by learning Python as their first language.  Python has
+a very simple and consistent syntax and a large standard library.
+Most importantly, using Python in a beginning programming course
+permits students to concentrate on important programming skills,
+such as problem decomposition and data type design.
+<P>
+With Python, students can be quickly introduced to basic concepts
+such as loops and procedures.  They can even probably work with
+user-defined objects in their very first course.  They could
+implement a tree structure as nested Python lists, for example.
+They could be introduced to objects in their first course if
+desired.  For a student who has never programmed before, using
+a statically typed language seems unnatural.  It presents
+additional complexity that the student must master and slows
+the pace of the course.  The students are trying to learn to
+think like a computer, decompose problems, design consistent
+interfaces, and encapsulate data.  While learning to use a
+statically typed language is important, it is not necessarily the
+best topic to address in the students' first programming course.
+<P>
+Many other aspects of Python make it a good first language.
+Python has a large standard library (like Java) so that
+students can be assigned programming projects very early in the
+course that <I>do</I> something.  Assignments aren't restricted to the
+standard four-function calculator and check balancing programs.
+By using the standard library, students can gain the satisfaction
+of working on realistic applications as they learn the fundamentals
+of programming.  Using the standard library also teaches students
+about code reuse.
+<P>
+Python's interactive interpreter also enables students to
+test language features while they're programming.  They can keep
+a window with the interpreter running while they enter their
+programs' source in another window.  If they can't remember the
+methods for a list, they can do something like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ >>> L = []
+ >>> dir(L)
+ ['append', 'count', 'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove',
+ 'reverse', 'sort']
+ >>> print L.append.__doc__
+ L.append(object) -- append object to end
+ >>> L.append(1)
+ >>> L
+ [1]
+</PRE>
+With the interpreter, documentation is never far from the
+student as he's programming.
+<P>
+There are also good IDEs for Python.  Guido van Rossum's IDLE
+is a cross-platform IDE for Python that is written in Python
+using Tk.  There is also a Windows specific IDE called PythonWin.
+Emacs users will be happy to know that there is a very good Python
+mode for Emacs.  All of these programming environments provide
+syntax highlighting, auto-indenting, and access to the interactive
+interpreter while coding.  For more information about IDEs, see XXX.
+<P>
+If your department is currently using Pascal because it was
+designed to be a teaching language, then you'll be happy to
+know that Guido van Rossum designed Python to be simple to
+teach to everyone but powerful enough to implement real world
+applications.  Python makes a good language for first time
+programmers because that was one of Python's design goals.
+There are papers at <A HREF="http://www.python.org/doc/essays">http://www.python.org/doc/essays</A>/ on the Python website 
+by Python's creator explaining his objectives for the language.
+One that may interest you is titled "Computer Programming for Everybody" 
+<A HREF="http://www.python.org/doc/essays/cp4e.html">http://www.python.org/doc/essays/cp4e.html</A>
+<P>
+If you're seriously considering Python as a language for your
+school,  Guido van Rossum may even be willing to correspond with
+you about how the language would fit in your curriculum.
+See <A HREF="http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html#2.2">http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html#2.2</A> for examples of
+Python's use in the "real world."
+<P>
+While Python, its source code, and its IDEs are freely
+available, this consideration should not rule 
+out other languages.  There are other free languages (Java, 
+free C compilers), and many companies are willing to waive some
+or all of their fees for student programming tools if it
+guarantees that a whole graduating class will know how to
+use their tools.  That is, if one of the requirements for 
+the language that will be taught is that it be freely 
+available, then Python qualifies, but this requirement 
+does not preclude other languages.
+<P>
+While Python jobs may not be as prevalent as C/C++/Java jobs,
+teachers should not worry about teaching students critical job
+skills in their first course.  The skills that win students a
+job are those they learn in their senior classes and internships.
+Their first programming courses are there to lay a solid
+foundation in programming fundamentals.  The primary question
+in choosing the language for such a course should be which
+language permits the students to learn this material without
+hindering or limiting them.
+<P>
+Another argument for Python is that there are many tasks for
+which something like C++ is overkill.  That's where languages
+like Python, Perl, Tcl, and Visual Basic thrive.  It's critical
+for students to know something about these languages.   (Every
+employer for whom I've worked used at least one such language.)
+Of the languages listed above, Python probably makes the best
+language in a programming curriculum since its syntax is simple,
+consistent, and not unlike other languages (C/C++/Java) that
+are probably in the curriculum.  By starting students with
+Python, a department simultaneously lays the foundations for
+other programming courses and introduces students to the type
+of language that is often used as a "glue" language.  As an
+added bonus, Python can be used to interface with Microsoft's
+COM components (thanks to Mark Hammond).  There is also Jython, 
+a Java implementation of the Python interpreter, that can be 
+used to connect Java components.
+<P>
+If you currently start students with Pascal or C/C++ or Java,
+you may be worried they will have trouble learning a statically
+typed language after starting with Python.  I think that this
+fear most often stems from the fact that the teacher started
+with a statically typed language, and we tend to like to teach
+others in the same way we were taught.  In reality, the
+transition from Python to one of these other languages is
+quite simple.
+<P>
+To motivate a statically typed language such as C++, begin the
+course by explaining that unlike Python, their first language,
+C++ is compiled to a machine dependent executable.  Explain
+that the point is to make a very fast executable.  To permit
+the compiler to make optimizations, programmers must help it
+by specifying the "types" of variables.  By restricting each
+variable to a specific type, the compiler can reduce the
+book-keeping it has to do to permit dynamic types.  The compiler
+also has to resolve references at compile time.  Thus, the
+language gains speed by sacrificing some of Python's dynamic
+features.  Then again, the C++ compiler provides type safety
+and catches many bugs at compile time instead of run time (a
+critical consideration for many commercial applications).  C++
+is also designed for very large programs where one may want to
+guarantee that others don't touch an object's implementation.
+C++ provides very strong language features to separate an object's
+implementation from its interface.  Explain why this separation
+is a good thing.
+<P>
+The first day of a C++ course could then be a whirlwind introduction
+to what C++ requires and provides.  The point here is that after
+a semester or two of Python, students are hopefully competent
+programmers.  They know how to handle loops and write procedures.
+They've also worked with objects, thought about the benefits of
+consistent interfaces, and used the technique of subclassing to
+specialize behavior.  Thus, a whirlwind introduction to C++ could
+show them how objects and subclassing looks in C++.  The
+potentially difficult concepts of object-oriented design were
+taught without the additional obstacles presented by a language
+such as C++ or Java.  When learning one of these languages,
+the students would already understand the "road map."  They
+understand objects; they would just be learning how objects
+fit in a statically typed languages.  Language requirements
+and compiler errors that seem unnatural to beginning programmers
+make sense in this new context.  Many students will find it
+helpful to be able to write a fast prototype of their algorithms
+in Python.  Thus, they can test and debug their ideas before
+they attempt to write the code in the new language, saving the
+effort of working with C++ types for when they've discovered a
+working solution for their assignments.  When they get annoyed
+with the rigidity of types, they'll be happy to learn about
+containers and templates to regain some of the lost flexibility
+Python afforded them.  Students may also gain an appreciation
+for the fact that no language is best for every task.  They'll
+see that C++ is faster, but they'll know that they can gain
+flexibility and development speed with a Python when execution
+speed isn't critical.
+<P>
+If you have any concerns that weren't addressed here, try
+posting to the Python newsgroup.  Others there have done some
+work with using Python as an instructional tool.  Good luck.
+We'd love to hear about it if you choose Python for your course.

+<H2><A NAME="3.1">3.1. Is there a test set?</A></H2>
+Sure.  You can run it after building with "make test", or you can
+run it manually with this command at the Python prompt:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ import test.autotest
+</PRE>
+In Python 1.4 or earlier, use
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ import autotest
+</PRE>
+The test set doesn't test <I>all</I> features of Python,
+but it goes a long way to confirm that Python is actually working.
+<P>
+NOTE: if "make test" fails, don't just mail the output to the
+newsgroup -- this doesn't give enough information to debug the
+problem.  Instead, find out which test fails, and run that test
+manually from an interactive interpreter.  For example, if
+"make test" reports that test_spam fails, try this interactively:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ import test.test_spam
+</PRE>
+This generally produces more verbose output which can be diagnosed
+to debug the problem.  If you find a bug in Python or the libraries, or in the tests, please report this in the Python bug tracker at SourceForge:

+You can use the GNU readline library to improve the interactive user
+interface: this gives you line editing and command history when
+calling python interactively. Its sources are distributed with 
+Python (at least for 2.0).  Uncomment the line 
+<P>
+#readline readline.c -lreadline -ltermcap
+<P>
+in Modules/Setup.  The configuration option --with-readline 
+is no longer supported, at least in Python 2.0.  Some hints on 
+building and using the readline library:
+On SGI IRIX 5, you may have to add the following
+to rldefs.h:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        #ifndef sigmask
+        #define sigmask(sig) (1L &lt;&lt; ((sig)-1))
+        #endif
+</PRE>
+On some systems, you will have to add #include "rldefs.h" to the
+top of several source files, and if you use the VPATH feature, you
+will have to add dependencies of the form foo.o: foo.c to the
+Makefile for several values of foo.
+The readline library requires use of the termcap library. A
+known problem with this is that it contains entry points which
+cause conflicts with the STDWIN and SGI GL libraries. The STDWIN
+conflict can be solved by adding a line saying '#define werase w_erase' to the
+stdwin.h file (in the STDWIN distribution, subdirectory H). The
+GL conflict has been solved in the Python configure script by a
+hack that forces use of the static version of the termcap library.
+Check the newsgroup gnu.bash.bug news:gnu.bash.bug for
+specific problems with the readline library (I don't read this group
+but I've been told that it is the place for readline bugs).

+<H2><A NAME="3.29">3.29. Is there a way to get the interactive mode of the python interpreter to perform function/variable name completion?</A></H2>
+(From a posting by Guido van Rossum)
+<P>
+On Unix, if you have enabled the readline module (i.e. if Emacs-style
+command line editing and bash-style history works for you), you can
+add this by importing the undocumented standard library module
+"rlcompleter".  When completing a simple identifier, it
+completes keywords, built-ins and globals in __main__; when completing
+NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the expression up to the last dot and
+completes its attributes.
+<P>
+This way, you can do "import string", type "string.", hit the
+completion key twice, and see the list of names defined by the
+string module.
+<P>
+Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
+</PRE>
+You can put this in a ~/.pythonrc file, and set the PYTHONSTARTUP
+environment variable to ~/.pythonrc.  This will cause the completion to be enabled
+whenever you run Python interactively.  
+<P>
+Notes (see the docstring for rlcompleter.py for more information):
+<P>
+* The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary 
+application defined code to be executed if an object with a
+__getattr__ hook is found.  Since it is the responsibility of the
+application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an
+acceptable risk.  More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or
+indexing operations) are <I>not</I> evaluated.
+<P>
+* GNU readline is also used by the built-in functions input() and
+raw_input(), and thus these also benefit/suffer from the complete
+features.  Clearly an interactive application can benefit by
+specifying its own completer function and using raw_input() for all
+its input.
+<P>
+* When stdin is not a tty device, GNU readline is never
+used, and this module (and the readline module) are silently inactive.

+(This is a Unix question; on Mac and Windows, it <I>is</I> a shared
+library.)
+<P>
+It's just a nightmare to get this to work on all different platforms.
+Shared library portability is a pain.  And yes, I know about GNU libtool
+-- but it requires me to use its conventions for filenames etc, and it 
+would require a complete and utter rewrite of all the makefile and
+config tools I'm currently using.
+<P>
+In practice, few applications embed Python -- it's much more common to
+have Python extensions, which already are shared libraries.  Also,
+serious embedders often want total control over which Python version
+and configuration they use so they wouldn't want to use a standard
+shared library anyway.  So while the motivation of saving space
+when lots of apps embed Python is nice in theory, I
+doubt that it will save much in practice.  (Hence the low priority I
+give to making a shared library.)
+<P>
+For Linux systems, the simplest method of producing libpython1.5.so seems to 
+be (originally from the Minotaur project web page,  
+<A HREF="http://www.equi4.com/minotaur/minotaur.html">http://www.equi4.com/minotaur/minotaur.html</A>):

+</PRE>
+In Python 2.3 this will be supported by the standard build routine
+(at least on Linux) with --enable-shared.  Note however that there
+is little advantage, and it slows down Python because of the need

+<P>
+The problem can be fixed by removing the old calibrated version of the profile module and using the latest version to do a fresh calibration.

+This linker error occurs on Solaris if you attempt to build an extension module which incorporates position-dependent (non-PIC) code. A common source of problems is that a static library (.a file), such as libreadline.a or libcrypto.a is linked with the extension module. The error specifically occurs when using gcc as the compiler, but /usr/ccs/bin/ld as the linker.
+<P>
+The following solutions and work-arounds are known:
+<P>
+1. Rebuild the libraries (libreadline, libcrypto) with -fPIC (-KPIC if using the system compiler). This is recommended; all object files in a shared library should be position-independent.
+<P>
+2. Statically link the extension module and its libraries into the Python interpreter, by editing Modules/Setup.
+<P>
+3. Use GNU ld instead of /usr/ccs/bin/ld; GNU ld will accept non-PIC code in shared libraries (and mark the section writable)
+<P>
+4. Pass -mimpure-text to GCC when linking the module. This will force gcc to not pass -z text to ld; in turn, ld will make all text sections writable.
+<P>
+Options 3 and 4 are not recommended, since the ability to share code across processes is lost.

+<H2><A NAME="4.6">4.6. How do I iterate over a sequence in reverse order?</A></H2>
+If it is a list, the fastest solution is
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        list.reverse()
+        try:
+                for x in list:
+                        "do something with x"
+        finally:
+                list.reverse()
+</PRE>
+This has the disadvantage that while you are in the loop, the list
+is temporarily reversed.  If you don't like this, you can make a copy.
+This appears expensive but is actually faster than other solutions:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        rev = list[:]
+        rev.reverse()
+        for x in rev:
+                &lt;do something with x&gt;
+</PRE>
+If it's not a list, a more general but slower solution is:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        for i in range(len(sequence)-1, -1, -1):
+                x = sequence[i]
+                &lt;do something with x&gt;
+</PRE>
+A more elegant solution, is to define a class which acts as a sequence
+and yields the elements in reverse order (solution due to Steve
+Majewski):
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        class Rev:
+                def __init__(self, seq):
+                        self.forw = seq
+                def __len__(self):
+                        return len(self.forw)
+                def __getitem__(self, i):
+                        return self.forw[-(i + 1)]
+</PRE>
+You can now simply write:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        for x in Rev(list):
+                &lt;do something with x&gt;
+</PRE>
+Unfortunately, this solution is slowest of all, due to the method
+call overhead...

+<H2><A NAME="4.7">4.7. My program is too slow. How do I speed it up?</A></H2>
+That's a tough one, in general.  There are many tricks to speed up
+Python code; I would consider rewriting parts in C only as a last
+resort.  One thing to notice is that function and (especially) method
+calls are rather expensive; if you have designed a purely OO interface
+with lots of tiny functions that don't do much more than get or set an
+instance variable or call another method, you may consider using a
+more direct way, e.g. directly accessing instance variables.  Also see
+the standard module "profile" (described in the Library Reference
+manual) which makes it possible to find out where
+your program is spending most of its time (if you have some patience
+-- the profiling itself can slow your program down by an order of
+magnitude).
+<P>
+Remember that many standard optimization heuristics you
+may know from other programming experience may well apply
+to Python.  For example it may be faster to send output to output
+devices using larger writes rather than smaller ones in order to
+avoid the overhead of kernel system calls.  Thus CGI scripts
+that write all output in "one shot" may be notably faster than
+those that write lots of small pieces of output.
+<P>
+Also, be sure to use "aggregate" operations where appropriate.
+For example the "slicing" feature allows programs to chop up
+lists and other sequence objects in a single tick of the interpreter
+mainloop using highly optimized C implementations.  Thus to 
+get the same effect as
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  L2 = []
+  for i in range[3]:
+       L2.append(L1[i])
+</PRE>
+it is much shorter and far faster to use
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  L2 = list(L1[:3]) # "list" is redundant if L1 is a list.
+</PRE>
+Note that the map() function, particularly used with
+builtin methods or builtin functions can be a convenient
+accelerator.  For example to pair the elements of two
+lists together:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  >>> map(None, [1,2,3], [4,5,6])
+  [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
+</PRE>
+or to compute a number of sines:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  >>> map( math.sin, (1,2,3,4))
+  [0.841470984808, 0.909297426826, 0.14112000806,   -0.756802495308]
+</PRE>
+The map operation completes very quickly in such cases.
+<P>
+Other examples of aggregate operations include the join and split
+methods of string objects.  For example if s1..s7 are large (10K+) strings then
+"".join([s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7]) may be far faster than
+the more obvious s1+s2+s3+s4+s5+s6+s7, since the "summation"
+will compute many subexpressions, whereas join does all
+copying in one pass.  For manipulating strings also consider the 
+regular expression libraries and the "substitution" operations
+String % tuple and String % dictionary.  Also be sure to use
+the list.sort builtin method to do sorting, and see FAQ's 4.51
+and 4.59 for examples of moderately advanced usage -- list.sort beats
+other techniques for sorting in all but the most extreme
+circumstances.
+<P>
+There are many other aggregate operations
+available in the standard libraries and in contributed libraries
+and extensions.
+<P>
+Another common trick is to "push loops into functions or methods."
+For example suppose you have a program that runs slowly and you
+use the profiler (profile.run) to determine that a Python function ff
+is being called lots of times.  If you notice that ff 
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   def ff(x):
+       ...do something with x computing result...
+       return result
+</PRE>
+tends to be called in loops like (A)
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   list = map(ff, oldlist)
+</PRE>
+or (B)
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   for x in sequence:
+       value = ff(x)
+       ...do something with value...
+</PRE>
+then you can often eliminate function call overhead by rewriting
+ff to
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   def ffseq(seq):
+       resultseq = []
+       for x in seq:
+           ...do something with x computing result...
+           resultseq.append(result)
+       return resultseq
+</PRE>
+and rewrite (A) to
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    list = ffseq(oldlist)
+</PRE>
+and (B) to
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    for value in ffseq(sequence):
+        ...do something with value...
+</PRE>
+Other single calls ff(x) translate to ffseq([x])[0] with little
+penalty.  Of course this technique is not always appropriate
+and there are other variants, which you can figure out.
+<P>
+You can gain some performance by explicitly storing the results of
+a function or method lookup into a local variable.  A loop like
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    for key in token:
+        dict[key] = dict.get(key, 0) + 1
+</PRE>
+resolves dict.get every iteration.  If the method isn't going to
+change, a faster implementation is
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    dict_get = dict.get  # look up the method once
+    for key in token:
+        dict[key] = dict_get(key, 0) + 1
+</PRE>
+Default arguments can be used to determine values once, at
+compile time instead of at run time.  This can only be done for
+functions or objects which will not be changed during program
+execution, such as replacing
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    def degree_sin(deg):
+        return math.sin(deg * math.pi / 180.0)
+</PRE>
+with
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    def degree_sin(deg, factor = math.pi/180.0, sin = math.sin):
+        return sin(deg * factor)
+</PRE>
+Because this trick uses default arguments for terms which should
+not be changed, it should only be used when you are not concerned
+with presenting a possibly confusing API to your users.

+This is probably an optional module (written in C!) which hasn't

+<H2><A NAME="4.16">4.16. Is there an equivalent of C's &quot;?:&quot; ternary operator?</A></H2>
+Not directly.  In many cases you can mimic a?b:c with "a and b or
+c", but there's a flaw: if b is zero (or empty, or None -- anything
+that tests false) then c will be selected instead.  In many cases you
+can prove by looking at the code that this can't happen (e.g. because
+b is a constant or has a type that can never be false), but in general
+this can be a problem.
+<P>
+Tim Peters (who wishes it was Steve Majewski) suggested the following
+solution: (a and [b] or [c])[0].  Because [b] is a singleton list it
+is never false, so the wrong path is never taken; then applying [0] to
+the whole thing gets the b or c that you really wanted.  Ugly, but it
+gets you there in the rare cases where it is really inconvenient to
+rewrite your code using 'if'.
+<P>
+As a last resort it is possible to implement the "?:" operator as a function:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    def q(cond,on_true,on_false):
+        from inspect import isfunction
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+        if cond:
+            if not isfunction(on_true): return on_true
+            else: return apply(on_true)
+        else:
+            if not isfunction(on_false): return on_false 
+            else: return apply(on_false)
+</PRE>
+In most cases you'll pass b and c directly: q(a,b,c).  To avoid evaluating b
+or c when they shouldn't be, encapsulate them
+within a lambda function, e.g.: q(a,lambda: b, lambda: c).
+<P>
+<P>
+<P>
+It has been asked <I>why</I> Python has no if-then-else expression,

+<H2><A NAME="4.17">4.17. My class defines __del__ but it is not called when I delete the object.</A></H2>
+There are several possible reasons for this.
+<P>
+The del statement does not necessarily call __del__ -- it simply
+decrements the object's reference count, and if this reaches zero
+__del__ is called.
+<P>
+If your data structures contain circular links (e.g. a tree where
+each child has a parent pointer and each parent has a list of
+children) the reference counts will never go back to zero.  You'll
+have to define an explicit close() method which removes those
+pointers.  Please don't ever call __del__ directly -- __del__ should
+call close() and close() should make sure that it can be called more
+than once for the same object.
+<P>
+If the object has ever been a local variable (or argument, which is
+really the same thing) to a function that caught an expression in an
+except clause, chances are that a reference to the object still exists
+in that function's stack frame as contained in the stack trace.
+Normally, deleting (better: assigning None to) sys.exc_traceback will
+take care of this.  If a stack was printed for an unhandled
+exception in an interactive interpreter, delete sys.last_traceback
+instead.
+<P>
+There is code that deletes all objects when the interpreter exits,
+but it is not called if your Python has been configured to support
+threads (because other threads may still be active).  You can define
+your own cleanup function using sys.exitfunc (see question 4.4).
+<P>
+Finally, if your __del__ method raises an exception, a warning message is printed to sys.stderr.
+<P>
+<P>
+Starting with Python 2.0, a garbage collector periodically reclaims the space used by most cycles with no external references. (See the "gc" module documentation for details.) There <I>are</I>, however, pathological cases where it can be expected to fail. Moreover, the garbage collector runs some time after the last reference to your data structure vanishes, so your __del__ method may be called at an inconvenient and random time. This is inconvenient if you're trying to reproduce a problem. Worse, the order in which object's __del__ methods are executed is arbitrary.
+<P>
+Another way to avoid cyclical references is to use the "weakref" module, which allows you to point to objects without incrementing their reference count. Tree data structures, for instance, should use weak references for their parent  and sibling pointers (if they need them!).
+<P>
+Question 6.14 is intended to explain the new garbage collection algorithm.

+A class is the particular object type created by executing

+instance objects, which embody both the data structure
+(attributes) and program routines (methods) specific to a datatype.
+<P>
+A class can be based on one or more other classes, called its base
+class(es). It then inherits the attributes and methods of its base classes. This allows an object model to be successively refined

+The term "classic class" is used to refer to the original

+classes is their inability to use the built-in data types

+A method is a function that you normally call as

+of classes and class instances as well as for methods of built-in

+An unbound method is a method defined in a class that is not yet

+class attribute that happens to be a function. You get a bound method
+if you ask for an instance attribute.  A bound method knows which
+instance it belongs to and calling it supplies the instance automatically;
+an unbound method only knows which class it wants for its first

+doesn't "magically" derive the first argument from the context -- you
+have to provide it explicitly.
+<P>
+Trivia note regarding bound methods:  each reference to a bound
+method of a particular object creates a bound method object.  If you
+have two such references (a = inst.meth; b = inst.meth), they will

+DON'T DO THIS.  REALLY.  I MEAN IT.  It appears that you could call
+self.__class__.__bases__[0].meth(self, arguments...) but this fails when
+a doubly-derived method is derived from your class: for its instances,

+a recursive call.
+<P>
+Often when you want to do this you are forgetting that classes
+are first class in Python.  You can "point to" the class you want
+to delegate an operation to either at the instance or at the
+subclass level.  For example if you want to use a "glorp"
+operation of a superclass you can point to the right superclass
+to use.

+Use the standard popen2 module.  For example:
+<P>
+<PRE>

+	tochild.write("input\n")
+	tochild.flush()
+	output = fromchild.readline()
+</PRE>
+Warning: in general, it is unwise to
+do this, because you can easily cause a deadlock where your
+process is blocked waiting for output from the child, while the child
+is blocked waiting for input from you.  This can be caused
+because the parent expects the child to output more text than it does,
+or it can be caused by data being stuck in stdio buffers due to lack
+of flushing.  The Python parent can of course explicitly flush the data
+it sends to the child before it reads any output, but if the child is
+a naive C program it can easily have been written to never explicitly
+flush its output, even if it is interactive, since flushing is
+normally automatic.
+<P>
+Note that a deadlock is also possible if you use popen3 to read
+stdout and stderr. If one of the two is too large for the internal
+buffer (increasing the buffersize does not help) and you read()
+the other one first, there is a deadlock, too.
+<P>
+Note on a bug in popen2: unless your program calls wait()
+or waitpid(), finished child processes are never removed,
+and eventually calls to popen2 will fail because of a limit on
+the number of child processes.  Calling os.waitpid with the
+os.WNOHANG option can prevent this; a good place to insert such
+a call would be before calling popen2 again.
+<P>
+Another way to produce a deadlock: Call a wait() and there is
+still more output from the program than what fits into the 
+internal buffers.
+<P>
+In many cases, all you really need is to run some data through a
+command and get the result back.  Unless the data is infinite in size,
+the easiest (and often the most efficient!) way to do this is to write
+it to a temporary file and run the command with that temporary file as
+input.  The standard module tempfile exports a function mktemp() which

+For simple input parsing, the easiest approach is usually to split

+Yes, and you don't even need threads!  But you'll have to
+restructure your I/O code a bit.  Tk has the equivalent of Xt's
+XtAddInput() call, which allows you to register a callback function
+which will be called from the Tk mainloop when I/O is possible on a
+file descriptor.  Here's what you need:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        from Tkinter import tkinter
+        tkinter.createfilehandler(file, mask, callback)
+</PRE>
+The file may be a Python file or socket object (actually, anything
+with a fileno() method), or an integer file descriptor.  The mask is
+one of the constants tkinter.READABLE or tkinter.WRITABLE.  The
+callback is called as follows:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        callback(file, mask)
+</PRE>
+You must unregister the callback when you're done, using
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        tkinter.deletefilehandler(file)
+</PRE>
+Note: since you don't know *how many bytes* are available for reading,
+you can't use the Python file object's read or readline methods, since
+these will insist on reading a predefined number of bytes.  For
+sockets, the recv() or recvfrom() methods will work fine; for other
+files, use os.read(file.fileno(), maxbytecount).

+<H2><A NAME="4.35">4.35. How do I write a function with output parameters (call by reference)?</A></H2>
+[Mark Lutz] The thing to remember is that arguments are passed by
+assignment in Python.  Since assignment just creates references to
+objects, there's no alias between an argument name in the caller and
+callee, and so no call-by-reference per se.  But you can simulate it
+in a number of ways:
+<P>
+1) By using global variables; but you probably shouldn't :-)
+<P>
+2) By passing a mutable (changeable in-place) object:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+      def func1(a):
+          a[0] = 'new-value'     # 'a' references a mutable list
+          a[1] = a[1] + 1        # changes a shared object
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+      args = ['old-value', 99]
+      func1(args)
+      print args[0], args[1]     # output: new-value 100
+</PRE>
+3) By returning a tuple, holding the final values of arguments:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+      def func2(a, b):
+          a = 'new-value'        # a and b are local names
+          b = b + 1              # assigned to new objects
+          return a, b            # return new values
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+      x, y = 'old-value', 99
+      x, y = func2(x, y)
+      print x, y                 # output: new-value 100
+</PRE>
+4) And other ideas that fall-out from Python's object model. For instance, it might be clearer to pass in a mutable dictionary:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+      def func3(args):
+          args['a'] = 'new-value'     # args is a mutable dictionary
+          args['b'] = args['b'] + 1   # change it in-place
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+      args = {'a':' old-value', 'b': 99}
+      func3(args)
+      print args['a'], args['b']
+</PRE>
+5) Or bundle-up values in a class instance:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+      class callByRef:
+          def __init__(self, **args):
+              for (key, value) in args.items():
+                  setattr(self, key, value)
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+      def func4(args):
+          args.a = 'new-value'        # args is a mutable callByRef
+          args.b = args.b + 1         # change object in-place
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+      args = callByRef(a='old-value', b=99)
+      func4(args)
+      print args.a, args.b
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+   But there's probably no good reason to get this complicated :-).
+</PRE>

+[Ken Manheimer] In Python, procedure variables are implicitly
+global, unless they are assigned anywhere within the block.
+In that case
+they are implicitly local, and you need to explicitly declare them as
+'global'.
+<P>
+Though a bit surprising at first, a moment's consideration explains
+this.  On one hand, requirement of 'global' for assigned vars provides
+a bar against unintended side-effects.  On the other hand, if global
+were required for all global references, you'd be using global all the
+time.  Eg, you'd have to declare as global every reference to a
+builtin function, or to a component of an imported module.  This
+clutter would defeat the usefulness of the 'global' declaration for
+identifying side-effects.

+<H2><A NAME="4.37">4.37. How can I have modules that mutually import each other?</A></H2>
+Suppose you have the following modules:
+<P>
+foo.py:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+	from bar import bar_var
+	foo_var=1
+</PRE>
+bar.py:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+	from foo import foo_var
+	bar_var=2
+</PRE>
+The problem is that the above is processed by the interpreter thus:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+	main imports foo
+	Empty globals for foo are created
+	foo is compiled and starts executing
+	foo imports bar
+	Empty globals for bar are created
+	bar is compiled and starts executing
+	bar imports foo (which is a no-op since there already is a module named foo)
+	bar.foo_var = foo.foo_var
+	...
+</PRE>
+The last step fails, because Python isn't done with interpreting foo yet and the global symbol dict for foo is still empty.
+<P>
+The same thing happens when you use "import foo", and then try to access "foo.one" in global code.
+<P>
+<P>
+There are (at least) three possible workarounds for this problem. 
+<P>
+Guido van Rossum recommends to avoid all uses of "from &lt;module&gt; import ..." (so everything from an imported module is referenced as &lt;module&gt;.&lt;name&gt;) and to place all code inside functions. Initializations of global variables and class variables should use constants or built-in functions only.
+<P>
+<P>
+Jim Roskind suggests the following order in each module:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ exports (globals, functions, and classes that don't need imported base classes)
+ import statements
+ active code (including globals that are initialized from imported values).
+</PRE>
+Python's author doesn't like this approach much because the imports
+appear in a strange place, but has to admit that it works.
+<P>
+<P>
+<P>
+Matthias Urlichs recommends to restructure your code so that the recursive import is not necessary in the first place.
+<P>

+These solutions are not mutually exclusive.

+For integers, use the built-in int() function, e.g. int('144') == 144.  Similarly, long() converts from string to long integer, e.g. long('144') == 144L; and float() to floating-point, e.g. float('144') == 144.0.
+<P>
+Note that these are restricted to decimal interpretation, so 
+that int('0144') == 144 and int('0x144') raises ValueError. For Python
+2.0 int takes the base to convert from as a second optional argument, so
+int('0x144', 16) == 324.
+<P>
+For greater flexibility, or before Python 1.5, import the module 
+string and use the string.atoi() function for integers, 
+string.atol() for long integers, or string.atof() for 
+floating-point.  E.g., 
+string.atoi('100', 16) == string.atoi('0x100', 0) == 256.  
+See the library reference manual section for the string module for

+<P>
+While you could use the built-in function eval() instead of

+a Python expression that might have unwanted side effects (like
+reformatting your disk). It also has the effect of interpreting numbers

+An unobvious method is to raise the object
+as an exception and to try to catch the exception with the class you're
+testing for:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+	def is_instance_of(the_instance, the_class):
+	    try:
+		raise the_instance
+	    except the_class:
+		return 1
+	    except:
+		return 0
+</PRE>
+This technique can be used to distinguish "subclassness"
+from a collection of classes as well
+<P>
+<PRE>
+                try:
+                              raise the_instance
+                except Audible:
+                              the_instance.play(largo)
+                except Visual:
+                              the_instance.display(gaudy)
+                except Olfactory:
+                              sniff(the_instance)
+                except:
+                              raise ValueError, "dunno what to do with this!"
+</PRE>
+This uses the fact that exception catching tests for class or subclass
+membership.
+<P>
+A different approach is to test for the presence of a class attribute that
+is presumably unique for the given class.  For instance:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+	class MyClass:
+	    ThisIsMyClass = 1
+	    ...
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+	def is_a_MyClass(the_instance):
+	    return hasattr(the_instance, 'ThisIsMyClass')
+</PRE>
+This version is easier to inline, and probably faster (inlined it
+is definitely faster).  The disadvantage is that someone else could cheat:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+	class IntruderClass:
+	    ThisIsMyClass = 1    # Masquerade as MyClass
+	    ...
+</PRE>
+but this may be seen as a feature (anyway, there are plenty of other ways
+to cheat in Python).  Another disadvantage is that the class must be
+prepared for the membership test.  If you do not "control the
+source code" for the class it may not be advisable to modify the
+class to support testability.

+<H2><A NAME="4.48">4.48. What is delegation?</A></H2>
+Delegation refers to an object oriented technique Python programmers
+may implement with particular ease.  Consider the following:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  from string import upper
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+  class UpperOut:
+        def __init__(self, outfile):
+              self.__outfile = outfile
+        def write(self, str):
+              self.__outfile.write( upper(str) )
+        def __getattr__(self, name):
+              return getattr(self.__outfile, name)
+</PRE>
+Here the UpperOut class redefines the write method
+to convert the argument string to upper case before
+calling the underlying self.__outfile.write method, but
+all other methods are delegated to the underlying 
+self.__outfile object.  The delegation is accomplished
+via the "magic" __getattr__ method.  Please see the
+language reference for more information on the use
+of this method.
+<P>
+Note that for more general cases delegation can
+get trickier. Particularly when attributes must be set
+as well as gotten the class must define a __settattr__
+method too, and it must do so carefully.
+<P>
+The basic implementation of __setattr__ is roughly
+equivalent to the following:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   class X:
+        ...
+        def __setattr__(self, name, value):
+             self.__dict__[name] = value
+        ...
+</PRE>
+Most __setattr__ implementations must modify
+self.__dict__ to store local state for self without
+causing an infinite recursion.

+<H2><A NAME="4.49">4.49. How do I test a Python program or component.</A></H2>
+We presume for the purposes of this question you are interested
+in standalone testing, rather than testing your components inside
+a testing framework. The best-known testing framework for Python
+is the PyUnit module, maintained at
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    <A HREF="http://pyunit.sourceforge.net">http://pyunit.sourceforge.net</A>/
+</PRE>
+For standalone testing, it helps to write the program so that
+it may be easily tested by using good modular design.
+In particular your program
+should have almost all functionality encapsulated in either functions
+or class methods -- and this sometimes has the surprising and
+delightful effect of making the program run faster (because
+local variable accesses are faster than global accesses).
+Furthermore the program should avoid depending on mutating
+global variables, since this makes testing much more difficult to do.
+<P>
+The "global main logic" of your program may be as simple
+as
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  if __name__=="__main__":
+       main_logic()
+</PRE>
+at the bottom of the main module of your program.
+<P>
+Once your program is organized as a tractable collection
+of functions and class behaviours you should write test
+functions that exercise the behaviours.  A test suite 
+can be associated with each module which automates
+a sequence of tests.  This sounds like a lot of work, but
+since Python is so terse and flexible it's surprisingly easy.
+You can make coding much more pleasant and fun by
+writing your test functions in parallel with the "production
+code", since this makes it easy to find bugs and even
+design flaws earlier.
+<P>
+"Support modules" that are not intended to be the main
+module of a program may include a "test script interpretation"
+which invokes a self test of the module.
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   if __name__ == "__main__":
+      self_test()
+</PRE>
+Even programs that interact with complex external
+interfaces may be tested when the external interfaces are
+unavailable by using "fake" interfaces implemented in
+Python.  For an example of a "fake" interface, the following
+class defines (part of) a "fake" file interface:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ import string
+ testdata = "just a random sequence of characters"
+</PRE>

+ def st(List, Metric):

+           return (M(element), element)

+     return map(stripit, paired)
+</PRE>

+ def stripit(pair):
+     return pair[1]
+</PRE>
+This technique, attributed to Randal Schwartz, sorts the elements
+of a list by a metric which maps each element to its "sort value".
+For example, if L is a list of string then
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   import string
+   Usorted = st(L, string.upper)

+Usorted gives the elements of L sorted as if they were upper

+values that appear in the string slices starting at position 10
+and ending at position 15. In Python 2.0 this can be done more
+naturally with list comprehensions:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  tmp1 = [ (x.upper(), x) for x in L ] # Schwartzian transform
+  tmp1.sort()
+  Usorted = [ x[1] for x in tmp1 ]

+<PRE>
+  tmp2 = [ (int(s[10:15]), s) for s in L ] # Schwartzian transform
+  tmp2.sort()
+  Isorted = [ x[1] for x in tmp2 ]
+</PRE>
+<P>
+Note that Isorted may also be computed by
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   def Icmp(s1, s2):
+         return cmp( intfield(s1), intfield(s2) )
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+   Isorted = L[:]
+   Isorted.sort(Icmp)
+</PRE>
+but since this method computes intfield many times for each
+element of L, it is slower than the Schwartzian Transform.

+  >>> result
+  ['else', 'sort', 'to', 'something']

+And if you didn't understand the question, please see the
+example above ;c).  Note that "I'm" sorts before "by" because
+uppercase "I" comes before lowercase "b" in the ascii order.
+Also see 4.51.
+<P>
+In Python 2.0 this can be done like:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ >>> list1 = ["what", "I'm", "sorting", "by"]

+[Followup]
+<P>
+Someone asked, why not this for the last steps:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  result = []
+  for p in pairs: result.append(p[1])
+</PRE>
+This is much more legible.  However, a quick test shows that
+it is almost twice as slow for long lists.  Why?  First of all,
+the append() operation has to reallocate memory, and while it
+uses some tricks to avoid doing that each time, it still has
+to do it occasionally, and apparently that costs quite a bit.
+Second, the expression "result.append" requires an extra
+attribute lookup.  The attribute lookup could be done away
+with by rewriting as follows:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  result = []
+  append = result.append
+  for p in pairs: append(p[1])
+</PRE>
+which gains back some speed, but is still considerably slower
+than the original solution, and hardly less convoluted.

+I would like to retrieve web pages that are the result of POSTing a
+form. Is there existing code that would let me do this easily?
+<P>
+Yes. Here's a simple example that uses httplib.  
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    #!/usr/local/bin/python
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    import httplib, sys, time
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    ### build the query string
+    qs = "First=Josephine&amp;MI=Q&amp;Last=Public"
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    ### connect and send the server a path
+    httpobj = httplib.HTTP('www.some-server.out-there', 80)
+    httpobj.putrequest('POST', '/cgi-bin/some-cgi-script')
+    ### now generate the rest of the HTTP headers...
+    httpobj.putheader('Accept', '*/*')
+    httpobj.putheader('Connection', 'Keep-Alive')
+    httpobj.putheader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
+    httpobj.putheader('Content-length', '%d' % len(qs))
+    httpobj.endheaders()
+    httpobj.send(qs)

+    reply, msg, hdrs = httpobj.getreply()
+    if reply != 200:
+	sys.stdout.write(httpobj.getfile().read())
+</PRE>
+Note that in general for "url encoded posts" (the default) query strings must be "quoted" to, for example, change equals signs and spaces to an encoded form when they occur in name or value.  Use urllib.quote to perform this quoting.  For example to send name="Guy Steele, Jr.":
+<P>

+   >>> from urllib import quote

+<H2><A NAME="4.63">4.63. How do I make a Python script executable on Unix?</A></H2>
+You need to do two things: the script file's mode must be executable
+(include the 'x' bit), and the first line must begin with #!
+followed by the pathname for the Python interpreter.
+<P>
+The first is done by executing 'chmod +x scriptfile' or perhaps
+'chmod 755 scriptfile'.
+<P>
+The second can be done in a number of way.  The most straightforward
+way is to write
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  #!/usr/local/bin/python
+</PRE>
+as the very first line of your file - or whatever the pathname is
+where the python interpreter is installed on your platform.
+<P>
+If you would like the script to be independent of where the python
+interpreter lives, you can use the "env" program.  On almost all
+platforms, the following will work, assuming the python interpreter
+is in a directory on the user's $PATH:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  #! /usr/bin/env python
+</PRE>
+Note -- *don't* do this for CGI scripts.  The $PATH variable for
+CGI scripts is often very minimal, so you need to use the actual
+absolute pathname of the interpreter.
+<P>
+Occasionally, a user's environment is so full that the /usr/bin/env
+program fails; or there's no env program at all.
+In that case, you can try the following hack (due to Alex Rezinsky):
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  #! /bin/sh
+  """:"
+  exec python $0 ${1+"$@"}
+  """
+</PRE>
+The disadvantage is that this defines the script's __doc__ string.
+However, you can fix that by adding

+<PRE>
+  __doc__ = """...Whatever..."""

+The select module is widely known to help with asynchronous
+I/O on sockets once they are connected.  However, it is less
+than common knowledge how to avoid blocking on the initial
+connect() call.  Jeremy Hylton has the following advice (slightly
+edited):
+<P>
+To prevent the TCP connect from blocking, you can set the socket to 
+non-blocking mode.  Then when you do the connect(), you will either 
+connect immediately (unlikely) or get an exception that contains the 
+errno.  errno.EINPROGRESS indicates that the connection is in 
+progress, but hasn't finished yet.  Different OSes will return 
+different errnos, so you're going to have to check.  I can tell you 
+that different versions of Solaris return different errno values. 
+<P>
+In Python 1.5 and later, you can use connect_ex() to avoid
+creating an exception.  It will just return the errno value. 
+<P>
+To poll, you can call connect_ex() again later -- 0 or errno.EISCONN 
+indicate that you're connected -- or you can pass this socket to 
+select (checking to see if it is writeable).

+<H2><A NAME="4.75">4.75. How can I overload constructors (or methods) in Python?</A></H2>
+(This actually applies to all methods, but somehow the question
+usually comes up first in the context of constructors.)
+<P>
+Where in C++ you'd write
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    class C {
+        C() { cout &lt;&lt; "No arguments\n"; }
+        C(int i) { cout &lt;&lt; "Argument is " &lt;&lt; i &lt;&lt; "\n"; }
+    }
+</PRE>
+in Python you have to write a single constructor that catches all
+cases using default arguments.  For example:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    class C:
+        def __init__(self, i=None):
+            if i is None:
+                print "No arguments"
+            else:
+                print "Argument is", i
+</PRE>
+This is not entirely equivalent, but close enough in practice.
+<P>
+You could also try a variable-length argument list, e.g.
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        def __init__(self, *args):
+            ....
+</PRE>
+The same approach works for all method definitions.

+<H2><A NAME="4.79">4.79. How do I read (or write) binary data?</A></H2>
+For complex data formats, it's best to use
+use the struct module.  It's documented in the library reference.
+It allows you to take a string read from a file containing binary
+data (usually numbers) and convert it to Python objects; and vice
+versa.
+<P>
+For example, the following code reads two 2-byte integers
+and one 4-byte integer in big-endian format from a file:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  import struct
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+  f = open(filename, "rb")  # Open in binary mode for portability
+  s = f.read(8)
+  x, y, z = struct.unpack(">hhl", s)
+</PRE>
+The '>' in the format string forces bin-endian data; the letter
+'h' reads one "short integer" (2 bytes), and 'l' reads one
+"long integer" (4 bytes) from the string.
+<P>
+For data that is more regular (e.g. a homogeneous list of ints or
+floats), you can also use the array module, also documented
+in the library reference.

+Freeze is a tool to create stand-alone applications (see 4.28).
+<P>
+When freezing Tkinter applications, the applications will not be
+truly stand-alone, as the application will still need the tcl and
+tk libraries.
+<P>
+One solution is to ship the application with the tcl and tk libraries,
+and point to them at run-time using the TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY
+environment variables.
+<P>
+To get truly stand-alone applications, the Tcl scripts that form
+the library have to be integrated into the application as well. One
+tool supporting that is SAM (stand-alone modules), which is part
+of the Tix distribution (<A HREF="http://tix.mne.com">http://tix.mne.com</A>). Build Tix with SAM 
+enabled, perform the appropriate call to Tclsam_init etc inside

+[Tim Peters, <A HREF="mailto:tim_one@email.msn.com">tim_one@email.msn.com</A>]
+<P>
+Static data (in the sense of C++ or Java) is easy; static methods (again in the sense of C++ or Java) are not supported directly.
+<P>
+STATIC DATA
+<P>
+For example,
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    class C:
+        count = 0   # number of times C.__init__ called
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+        def __init__(self):
+            C.count = C.count + 1
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+        def getcount(self):
+            return C.count  # or return self.count
+</PRE>
+c.count also refers to C.count for any c such that isinstance(c, C) holds, unless overridden by c itself or by some class on the base-class search path from c.__class__ back to C.
+<P>
+Caution:  within a method of C,
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    self.count = 42
+</PRE>
+creates a new and unrelated instance vrbl named "count" in self's own dict.  So rebinding of a class-static data name needs the
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    C.count = 314
+</PRE>
+form whether inside a method or not.
+<P>
+<P>
+STATIC METHODS
+<P>
+Static methods (as opposed to static data) are unnatural in Python, because
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    C.getcount
+</PRE>
+returns an unbound method object, which can't be invoked without supplying an instance of C as the first argument.
+<P>
+The intended way to get the effect of a static method is via a module-level function:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    def getcount():
+        return C.count
+</PRE>
+If your code is structured so as to define one class (or tightly related class hierarchy) per module, this supplies the desired encapsulation.
+<P>
+Several tortured schemes for faking static methods can be found by searching DejaNews.  Most people feel such cures are worse than the disease.  Perhaps the least obnoxious is due to Pekka Pessi (mailto:<A HREF="mailto:ppessi@hut.fi">ppessi@hut.fi</A>):
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    # helper class to disguise function objects
+    class _static:
+        def __init__(self, f):
+            self.__call__ = f
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    class C:
+        count = 0
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+        def __init__(self):
+            C.count = C.count + 1
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+        def getcount():
+            return C.count
+        getcount = _static(getcount)
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+        def sum(x, y):
+            return x + y
+        sum = _static(sum)
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    C(); C()
+    c = C()
+    print C.getcount()  # prints 3
+    print c.getcount()  # prints 3
+    print C.sum(27, 15) # prints 42

+Please note that there is no way to take advantage of
+multiprocessor hardware using the Python thread model. The interpreter
+uses a global interpreter lock (GIL),
+which does not allow multiple threads to be concurrently active.
+<P>
+If you write a simple test program like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  import thread
+  def run(name, n):
+      for i in range(n): print name, i
+  for i in range(10):

+</PRE>
+none of the threads seem to run!  The reason is that as soon as
+the main thread exits, all threads are killed.
+<P>
+A simple fix is to add a sleep to the end of the program,
+sufficiently long for all threads to finish:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  import thread, time
+  def run(name, n):
+      for i in range(n): print name, i
+  for i in range(10):
+      thread.start_new(run, (i, 100))
+  time.sleep(10) # &lt;----------------------------!
+</PRE>
+But now (on many platforms) the threads don't run in parallel,
+but appear to run sequentially, one at a time!  The reason is
+that the OS thread scheduler doesn't start a new thread until
+the previous thread is blocked.
+<P>
+A simple fix is to add a tiny sleep to the start of the run
+function:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  import thread, time
+  def run(name, n):
+      time.sleep(0.001) # &lt;---------------------!
+      for i in range(n): print name, i
+  for i in range(10):
+      thread.start_new(run, (i, 100))
+  time.sleep(10)
+</PRE>
+Some more hints:
+<P>
+Instead of using a time.sleep() call at the end, it's
+better to use some kind of semaphore mechanism.  One idea is to
+use a the Queue module to create a queue object, let each thread
+append a token to the queue when it finishes, and let the main
+thread read as many tokens from the queue as there are threads.
+<P>
+Use the threading module instead of the thread module.  It's part
+of Python since version 1.5.1.  It takes care of all these details,
+and has many other nice features too!

+Python file objects are a high-level layer of abstraction on top of C streams, which in turn are a medium-level layer of abstraction on top of (among other things) low-level C file descriptors.
+<P>
+For most file objects f you create in Python via the builtin "open" function, f.close() marks the Python file object as being closed from Python's point of view, and also arranges to close the underlying C stream.  This happens automatically too, in f's destructor, when f becomes garbage.
+<P>
+But stdin, stdout and stderr are treated specially by Python, because of the special status also given to them by C:  doing

+marks the Python-level file object as being closed, but does <I>not</I> close the associated C stream (provided sys.stdout is still bound to its default value, which is the stream C also calls "stdout").
+<P>
+To close the underlying C stream for one of these three, you should first be sure that's what you really want to do (e.g., you may confuse the heck out of extension modules trying to do I/O).  If it is, use os.close:

+[adapted from c.l.py responses by Gordon McMillan &amp; GvR]
+<P>
+A global interpreter lock (GIL) is used internally to ensure that only one thread runs in the Python VM at a time.  In general, Python offers to switch among threads only between bytecode instructions (how frequently it offers to switch can be set via sys.setcheckinterval).  Each bytecode instruction-- and all the C implementation code reached from it --is therefore atomic.
+<P>
+In theory, this means an exact accounting requires an exact understanding of the PVM bytecode implementation.  In practice, it means that operations on shared vrbls of builtin data types (ints, lists, dicts, etc) that "look atomic" really are.
+<P>
+For example, these are atomic (L, L1, L2 are lists, D, D1, D2 are dicts, x, y
+are objects, i, j are ints):
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    L.append(x)
+    L1.extend(L2)
+    x = L[i]
+    x = L.pop()
+    L1[i:j] = L2
+    L.sort()
+    x = y
+    x.field = y
+    D[x] = y
+    D1.update(D2)
+    D.keys()
+</PRE>
+These aren't:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    i = i+1
+    L.append(L[-1])
+    L[i] = L[j]
+    D[x] = D[x] + 1
+</PRE>
+Note: operations that replace other objects may invoke those other objects' __del__ method when their reference count reaches zero, and that can affect things.  This is especially true for the mass updates to dictionaries and lists.  When in doubt, use a mutex!

+In general, dictionaries store their keys in an unpredictable order,
+so the display order of a dictionary's elements will be similarly
+unpredictable.
+(See 
+<a href="http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html#6.12">Question 6.12</a>
+to understand why this is so.)
+<P>
+This can be frustrating if you want to save a printable version to a 
+file, make some changes and then compare it with some other printed
+dictionary.  If you have such needs you can subclass UserDict.UserDict
+to create a SortedDict class that prints itself in a predictable order.
+Here's one simpleminded implementation of such a class:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  import UserDict, string
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+  class SortedDict(UserDict.UserDict):
+    def __repr__(self):
+      result = []
+      append = result.append
+      keys = self.data.keys()
+      keys.sort()
+      for k in keys:
+        append("%s: %s" % (`k`, `self.data[k]`))
+      return "{%s}" % string.join(result, ", ")
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    ___str__ = __repr__
+</PRE>
+<P>
+This will work for many common situations you might encounter, though
+it's far from a perfect solution. (It won't have any effect on the
+pprint module and does not transparently handle values that are or
+contain dictionaries.

+<H2><A NAME="4.96">4.96. Why is join() a string method when I'm really joining the elements of a (list, tuple, sequence)?</A></H2>
+Strings became much more like other standard types starting in release 1.6, when methods were added which give the same functionality that has always been available using the functions of the string module.  These new methods have been widely accepted, but the one which appears to make (some) programmers feel uncomfortable is:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    ", ".join(['1', '2', '4', '8', '16'])
+</PRE>
+which gives the result
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    "1, 2, 4, 8, 16"
+</PRE>
+There are two usual arguments against this usage.
+<P>
+The first runs along the lines of: "It looks really ugly using a method of a string literal (string constant)", to which the answer is that it might, but a string literal is just a fixed value. If the methods are to be allowed on names bound to strings there is no logical reason to make them unavailable on literals. Get over it!
+<P>
+The second objection is typically cast as: "I am really telling a sequence to join its members together with a string constant". Sadly, you aren't. For some reason there seems to be much less difficulty with having split() as a string method, since in that case it is easy to see that
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    "1, 2, 4, 8, 16".split(", ")
+</PRE>
+is an instruction to a string literal to return the substrings delimited by the given separator (or, by default, arbitrary runs of white space). In this case a Unicode string returns a list of Unicode strings, an ASCII string returns a list of ASCII strings, and everyone is happy.
+<P>
+join() is a string method because in using it you are telling the separator string to iterate over an arbitrary sequence, forming string representations of each of the elements, and inserting itself between the elements' representations.  This method can be used with any argument which obeys the rules for sequence objects, inluding any new classes you might define yourself.
+<P>
+Because this is a string method it can work for Unicode strings as well as plain ASCII strings. If join() were a method of the sequence types then the sequence types would have to decide which type of string to return depending on the type of the separator.
+<P>
+If none of these arguments persuade you, then for the moment you can continue to use the join() function from the string module, which allows you to write
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    string.join(['1', '2', '4', '8', '16'], ", ")
+</PRE>
+You will just have to try and forget that the string module actually uses the syntax you are compaining about to implement the syntax you prefer!

+<H2><A NAME="4.97">4.97. How can my code discover the name of an object?</A></H2>
+Generally speaking, it can't, because objects don't really have names. The assignment statement does not store the assigned value in the name but a reference to it. Essentially, assignment creates a binding of a name to a value. The same is true of <I>def</I> and <I>class</I> statements, but in that case the value is a callable. Consider the following code:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    class A:
+        pass
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    B = A
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    a = B()
+    b = a
+    print b
+    &lt;__main__.A instance at 016D07CC&gt;
+    print a
+    &lt;__main__.A instance at 016D07CC&gt;
+</PRE>
+<P>
+Arguably the class has a name: even though it is bound to two names and invoked through the name B the created instance is still reported as an instance of class A. However, it is impossible to say whether the instance's name is a or b, since both names are bound to the same value.
+<P>
+Generally speaking it should not be necessary for your code to "know the names" of particular values. Unless you are deliberately writing introspective programs, this is usually an indication that a change of approach might be beneficial.

+People are often very surprised by results like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ >>> 1.2-1.0
+ 0.199999999999999996
+</PRE>
+And think it is a bug in Python. It's not. It's a problem caused by
+the internal representation of a floating point number. A floating point
+number is stored as a fixed number of binary digits.
+<P>
+In decimal math, there are many numbers that can't be represented
+with a fixed number of decimal digits, i.e.
+1/3 = 0.3333333333.......
+<P>
+In the binary case, 1/2 = 0.1, 1/4 = 0.01, 1/8 = 0.001, etc. There are 
+a lot of numbers that can't be represented. The digits are cut off at
+some point.
+<P>
+Since Python 1.6, a floating point's repr() function prints as many
+digits are necessary to make eval(repr(f)) == f true for any float f.
+The str() function prints the more sensible number that was probably
+intended:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ >>> 0.2
+ 0.20000000000000001
+ >>> print 0.2
+ 0.2
+</PRE>
+Again, this has nothing to do with Python, but with the way the
+underlying C platform handles floating points, and ultimately with
+the inaccuracy you'll always have when writing down numbers of fixed
+number of digit strings.
+<P>
+One of the consequences of this is that it is dangerous to compare 
+the result of some computation to a float with == ! 
+Tiny inaccuracies may mean that == fails.
+<P>
+Instead try something like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ epsilon = 0.0000000000001 # Tiny allowed error
+ expected_result = 0.4

+<H2><A NAME="4.100">4.100. What are the &quot;best practices&quot; for using import in a module?</A></H2>
+First, the standard modules are great.  Use them!  The standard Python library is large and varied.  Using modules can save you time and effort and will reduce maintainenance cost of your code.  (Other programs are dedicated to supporting and fixing bugs in the standard Python modules.  Coworkers may also be familiar with themodules that you use, reducing the amount of time it takes them to understand your code.)
+<P>
+The rest of this answer is largely a matter of personal preference, but here's what some newsgroup posters said (thanks to all who responded)
+<P>
+In general, don't use 
+<PRE>
+ from modulename import *
+</PRE>
+Doing so clutters the importer's namespace.  Some avoid this idiom even with the few modules that were designed to be imported in this manner.  (Modules designed in this manner include Tkinter, thread, and wxPython.)
+<P>
+Import modules at the top of a file, one module per line.  Doing so makes it clear what other modules your code requires and avoids questions of whether the module name is in scope.  Using one import per line makes it easy to add and delete module imports.
+<P>
+Move imports into a local scope (such as at the top of a function definition) if there are a lot of imports, and you're trying to avoid the cost (lots of initialization time) of many imports.  This technique is especially helpful if many of the imports are unnecessary depending on how the program executes.  You may also want to move imports into a function if the modules are only ever used in that function.  Note that loading a module the first time may be expensive (because of the one time initialization of the module) but that loading a module multiple times is virtually free (a couple of dictionary lookups).  Even if the module name has gone out of scope, the module is probably available in sys.modules.  Thus, there isn't really anything wrong with putting no imports at the module level (if they aren't needed) and putting all of the imports at the function level.  
+<P>
+It is sometimes necessary to move imports to a function or class to avoid problems with circular imports.  Gordon says:
+<PRE>
+ Circular imports are fine where both modules use the "import &lt;module&gt;"
+ form of import. They fail when the 2nd module wants to grab a name
+ out of the first ("from module import name") and the import is at
+ the top level. That's because names in the 1st are not yet available,
+ (the first module is busy importing the 2nd).  
+</PRE>
+In this case, if the 2nd module is only used in one function, then the  import can easily be moved into that function.  By the time the import is called, the first module will have finished initializing, and the second module can do its import.
+<P>
+It may also be necessary to move imports out of the top level of code 
+if some of the modules are platform-specific.  In that case, it may not even be possible to import all of the modules at the top of the file.  In this case, importing the correct modules in the corresponding platform-specific code is a good option.   
+<P>
+If only instances of a specific class uses a module, then it is reasonable to import the module in the class's __init__ method and then assign the module to an instance variable so that the module is always available (via that instance variable) during the life of the object.  Note that to delay an import until the class is instantiated, the import must be inside a method.  Putting the import inside the class but outside of any method still causes the import to occur when the module is initialized.

+<H2><A NAME="4.102">4.102. UnicodeError: ASCII [decoding,encoding] error: ordinal not in range(128)</A></H2>
+This error indicates that your Python installation can handle
+only 7-bit ASCII strings.  There are a couple ways to fix or
+workaround the problem.
+<P>
+If your programs must handle data in arbitary character set encodings, the environment the application runs in will generally identify the encoding of the data it is handing you.  You need to convert the input to Unicode data using that encoding.  For instance, a program that handles email or web input will typically find character set encoding information in Content-Type headers.  This can then be used to properly convert input data to Unicode. Assuming the string referred to by "value" is encoded as UTF-8:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    value = unicode(value, "utf-8")
+</PRE>
+will return a Unicode object.  If the data is not correctly encoded as UTF-8, the above call will raise a UnicodeError.
+<P>
+If you only want strings coverted to Unicode which have non-ASCII data, you can try converting them first assuming an ASCII encoding, and then generate Unicode objects if that fails:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    try:
+        x = unicode(value, "ascii")
+    except UnicodeError:
+        value = unicode(value, "utf-8")
+    else:
+        # value was valid ASCII data
+        pass
+</PRE>
+<P>
+If you normally use a character set encoding other than US-ASCII and only need to handle data in that encoding, the simplest way to fix the problem may be simply to set the encoding in sitecustomize.py. The following code is just a modified version of the encoding setup code from site.py with the relevant lines uncommented.
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    # Set the string encoding used by the Unicode implementation.
+    # The default is 'ascii'
+    encoding = "ascii" # &lt;= CHANGE THIS if you wish
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    # Enable to support locale aware default string encodings.
+    import locale
+    loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
+    if loc[1]:
+        encoding = loc[1]
+    if encoding != "ascii":
+        import sys
+        sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding)
+</PRE>
+<P>
+Also note that on Windows, there is an encoding known as "mbcs", which uses an encoding specific to your current locale.  In many cases, and particularly when working with COM, this may be an appropriate default encoding to use.

+<H2><A NAME="4.103">4.103. Using strings to call functions/methods</A></H2>
+There are various techniques:
+<P>
+* Use a dictionary pre-loaded with strings and functions.  The primary
+advantage of this technique is that the strings do not need to match the
+names of the functions.  This is also the primary technique used to
+emulate a case construct:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    def a():
+        pass
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    def b():
+        pass
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    dispatch = {'go': a, 'stop': b}  # Note lack of parens for funcs
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    dispatch[get_input()]()  # Note trailing parens to call function
+</PRE>
+* Use the built-in function getattr():
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    import foo
+    getattr(foo, 'bar')()
+</PRE>
+Note that getattr() works on any object, including classes, class
+instances, modules, and so on.
+<P>
+This is used in several places in the standard library, like
+this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    class Foo:
+        def do_foo(self):
+            ...
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+        def do_bar(self):
+            ...
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+     f = getattr(foo_instance, 'do_' + opname)
+     f()
+</PRE>
+<P>
+* Use locals() or eval() to resolve the function name:
+<P>
+def myFunc():
+<PRE>
+    print "hello"
+</PRE>
+fname = "myFunc"
+<P>
+f = locals()[fname]
+f()
+<P>
+f = eval(fname)
+f()
+<P>
+Note: Using eval() can be dangerous. If you don't have absolute control
+over the contents of the string, all sorts of things could happen...

+<H2><A NAME="4.104">4.104. How fast are exceptions?</A></H2>
+A try/except block is extremely efficient.  Actually executing an
+exception is expensive.  In older versions of Python (prior to 2.0), it
+was common to code this idiom:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    try:
+        value = dict[key]
+    except KeyError:
+        dict[key] = getvalue(key)
+        value = dict[key]
+</PRE>
+This idiom only made sense when you expected the dict to have the key
+95% of the time or more; other times, you coded it like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    if dict.has_key(key):
+        value = dict[key]
+    else:
+        dict[key] = getvalue(key)
+        value = dict[key]
+</PRE>
+In Python 2.0 and higher, of course, you can code this as
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    value = dict.setdefault(key, getvalue(key))
+</PRE>
+However this evaluates getvalue(key) always, regardless of whether it's needed or not.  So if it's slow or has a side effect you should use one of the above variants.

+The canonical way to share information across modules within a single
+program is to create a special module (often called config or cfg).
+Just import the config module in all modules of your application; the
+module then becomes available as a global name.  Because there is only
+one instance of each module, any changes made to the module object get
+reflected everywhere.  For example:
+<P>
+config.py:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    pass
+</PRE>
+mod.py:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    import config
+    config.x = 1
+</PRE>
+main.py:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    import config
+    import mod
+    print config.x

+Note that using a module is also the basis for implementing the

+<H2><A NAME="4.107">4.107. When importing module XXX, why do I get &quot;undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_...&quot; ?</A></H2>
+You are using a version of Python that uses a 4-byte representation for
+Unicode characters, but the extension module you are importing (possibly
+indirectly) was compiled using a Python that uses a 2-byte representation
+for Unicode characters (the default).
+<P>
+If instead the name of the undefined symbol starts with PyUnicodeUCS4_,
+the problem is the same by the relationship is reversed:  Python was
+built using 2-byte Unicode characters, and the extension module was
+compiled using a Python with 4-byte Unicode characters.
+<P>
+This can easily occur when using pre-built extension packages.  RedHat
+Linux 7.x, in particular, provides a "python2" binary that is compiled
+with 4-byte Unicode.  This only causes the link failure if the extension
+uses any of the PyUnicode_*() functions.  It is also a problem if if an
+extension uses any of the Unicode-related format specifiers for
+Py_BuildValue (or similar) or parameter-specifications for
+PyArg_ParseTuple().
+<P>
+You can check the size of the Unicode character a Python interpreter is
+using by checking the value of sys.maxunicode:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  >>> import sys
+  >>> if sys.maxunicode > 65535:
+  ...     print 'UCS4 build'
+  ... else:
+  ...     print 'UCS2 build'
+</PRE>
+The only way to solve this problem is to use extension modules compiled
+with a Python binary built using the same size for Unicode characters.

+QUESTION:
+<P>
+I have a module and I wish to generate a .pyc file.  
+How do I do it? Everything I read says that generation of a .pyc file is 
+"automatic", but I'm not getting anywhere.  
+<P>
+<P>
+ANSWER: 
+<P>
+When a module is imported for the first time (or when the source is more
+recent than the current compiled file) a .pyc file containing the compiled code should be created in the
+same directory as the .py file.
+<P>
+One reason that a .pyc file may not be created is permissions problems with the directory. This can happen, for example, if you develop as one user but run as another, such as if you are testing with a web server.
+<P>
+However, in most cases, that's not the problem.
+<P>
+Creation of a .pyc file is "automatic" if you are importing a module and Python has the
+ability (permissions, free space, etc...) to write the compiled module
+back to the directory. But note that running Python on a top level script is not considered an
+import and so no .pyc will be created automatically.  For example, if you have a top-level module abc.py that imports another module xyz.py, when you run abc, xyz.pyc will be created since xyz is imported, but no abc.pyc file will be created since abc isn't imported.
+<P>
+If you need to create abc.pyc -- that is, to create a .pyc file for a
+module that is not imported -- you can.  (Look up
+the py_compile and compileall modules in the Library Reference.) 
+<P>
+You can manually compile any module using the "py_compile" module.  One
+way is to use the compile() function in that module interactively:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    >>> import py_compile
+    >>> py_compile.compile('abc.py')
+</PRE>
+This will write the .pyc to the same location as abc.py (or you
+can override that with the optional parameter cfile).
+<P>
+You can also automatically compile all files in a directory or
+directories using the "compileall" module, which can also be run
+straight from the command line.
+<P>
+You can do it from the shell (or DOS) prompt by entering:
+<PRE>
+       python compile.py abc.py
+</PRE>
+or 
+<PRE>
+       python compile.py *
+</PRE>
+Or you can write a script to do it on a list of filenames that you enter.
+<P>
+<PRE>
+     import sys
+     from py_compile import compile
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+     if len(sys.argv) &lt;= 1:
+        sys.exit(1)
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+     for file in sys.argv[1:]:
+        compile(file)

+That depends on the object's type.  If it's a tuple,

+There is also a high-level API to Python objects which is

+You can't.  Use t = PyTuple_New(n) instead, and fill it with

+The PyObject_CallMethod() function can be used to call an arbitrary

+This works for any object that has methods -- whether built-in or

+To call, e.g., a file object's "seek" method with arguments 10, 0

+<H2><A NAME="5.15">5.15. How to tell &quot;incomplete input&quot; from &quot;invalid input&quot;?</A></H2>
+Sometimes you want to emulate the Python interactive interpreter's
+behavior, where it gives you a continuation prompt when the input
+is incomplete (e.g. you typed the start of an "if" statement
+or you didn't close your parentheses or triple string quotes),
+but it gives you a syntax error message immediately when the input
+is invalid.
+<P>
+In Python you can use the codeop module, which approximates the
+parser's behavior sufficiently.  IDLE uses this, for example.
+<P>
+The easiest way to do it in C is to call PyRun_InteractiveLoop()
+(in a separate thread maybe) and let the Python interpreter handle
+the input for you. You can also set the PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer
+to point at your custom input function. See Modules/readline.c and
+Parser/myreadline.c for more hints.
+<P>
+However sometimes you have to run the embedded Python interpreter
+in the same thread as your rest application and you can't allow the
+PyRun_InteractiveLoop() to stop while waiting for user input.
+The one solution then is to call PyParser_ParseString()
+and test for e.error equal to E_EOF (then the input is incomplete).
+Sample code fragment, untested, inspired by code from  Alex Farber:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  #include &lt;Python.h&gt;
+  #include &lt;node.h&gt;
+  #include &lt;errcode.h&gt;
+  #include &lt;grammar.h&gt;
+  #include &lt;parsetok.h&gt;
+  #include &lt;compile.h&gt;
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+  int testcomplete(char *code)
+    /* code should end in \n */
+    /* return -1 for error, 0 for incomplete, 1 for complete */
+  {
+    node *n;
+    perrdetail e;
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    n = PyParser_ParseString(code, &amp;_PyParser_Grammar,
+                             Py_file_input, &amp;e);
+    if (n == NULL) {
+      if (e.error == E_EOF) 
+        return 0;
+      return -1;
+    }
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    PyNode_Free(n);
+    return 1;
+  }
+</PRE>
+Another solution is trying to compile the received string with 
+Py_CompileString(). If it compiles fine - try to execute the returned 
+code object by calling PyEval_EvalCode(). Otherwise save the input for 
+later. If the compilation fails, find out if it's an error or just 
+more input is required - by extracting the message string from the 
+exception tuple and comparing it to the "unexpected EOF while parsing".

+Usually you would like to be able to inherit from a Python type when
+you ask this question. The bottom line for Python 2.2 is: types and classes are miscible. You build instances by calling classes, and you can build subclasses to your heart's desire.
+<P>
+You need to be careful when instantiating immutable types like integers or strings. See <A HREF="http://www.amk.ca/python/2.2">http://www.amk.ca/python/2.2</A>/, section 2, for details.
+<P>
+Prior to version 2.2, Python (like Java) insisted that there are first-class and second-class objects (the former are types, the latter classes), and never the twain shall meet.
+<P>
+The library has, however, done a good job of providing class wrappers for the more commonly desired objects (see UserDict, UserList and UserString for examples), and more are always welcome if you happen to be in the mood to write code. These wrappers still exist in Python 2.2.

+<H2><A NAME="6.2">6.2. Why does Python use indentation for grouping of statements?</A></H2>
+Basically I believe that using indentation for grouping is
+extremely elegant and contributes a lot to the clarity of the average
+Python program.  Most people learn to love this feature after a while.
+Some arguments for it:
+<P>
+Since there are no begin/end brackets there cannot be a disagreement
+between grouping perceived by the parser and the human reader.  I
+remember long ago seeing a C fragment like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        if (x &lt;= y)
+                x++;
+                y--;
+        z++;
+</PRE>
+and staring a long time at it wondering why y was being decremented
+even for x > y...  (And I wasn't a C newbie then either.)
+<P>
+Since there are no begin/end brackets, Python is much less prone to
+coding-style conflicts.  In C there are loads of different ways to
+place the braces (including the choice whether to place braces around
+single statements in certain cases, for consistency).  If you're used
+to reading (and writing) code that uses one style, you will feel at
+least slightly uneasy when reading (or being required to write)
+another style.
+Many coding styles place begin/end brackets on a line by themself.
+This makes programs considerably longer and wastes valuable screen
+space, making it harder to get a good overview over a program.
+Ideally, a function should fit on one basic tty screen (say, 20
+lines).  20 lines of Python are worth a LOT more than 20 lines of C.
+This is not solely due to the lack of begin/end brackets (the lack of
+declarations also helps, and the powerful operations of course), but
+it certainly helps!

+There are two advantages.  One is performance: knowing that a
+string is immutable makes it easy to lay it out at construction time
+-- fixed and unchanging storage requirements.  (This is also one of
+the reasons for the distinction between tuples and lists.)  The
+other is that strings in Python are considered as "elemental" as
+numbers.  No amount of activity will change the value 8 to anything

+"eight" to anything else.  (Adapted from Jim Roskind)

+<H2><A NAME="6.5">6.5. Why does Python use methods for some functionality (e.g. list.index()) but functions for other (e.g. len(list))?</A></H2>
+The major reason is history. Functions were used for those
+operations that were generic for a group of types and which
+were intended to work even for objects that didn't have
+methods at all (e.g. numbers before type/class unification
+began, or tuples).
+<P>
+It is also convenient to have a function that can readily be applied
+to an amorphous collection of objects when you use the functional features of Python (map(), apply() et al).
+<P>
+In fact, implementing len(), max(), min() as a built-in function is
+actually less code than implementing them as methods for each type.
+One can quibble about individual cases but it's a part of Python,
+and it's too late to change such things fundamentally now. The
+functions have to remain to avoid massive code breakage.
+<P>
+Note that for string operations Python has moved from external functions
+(the string module) to methods.  However, len() is still a function.

+<H2><A NAME="6.7">6.7. Why must 'self' be declared and used explicitly in method definitions and calls?</A></H2>
+So, is your current programming language C++ or Java? :-)
+When classes were added to Python, this was (again) the simplest way of
+implementing methods without too many changes to the interpreter.  The
+idea was borrowed from Modula-3.  It turns out to be very useful, for
+a variety of reasons.
+<P>
+First, it makes it more obvious that you are using a method or
+instance attribute instead of a local variable.  Reading "self.x" or
+"self.meth()" makes it absolutely clear that an instance variable or
+method is used even if you don't know the class definition by heart.
+In C++, you can sort of tell by the lack of a local variable
+declaration (assuming globals are rare or easily recognizable) -- but
+in Python, there are no local variable declarations, so you'd have to
+look up the class definition to be sure.
+<P>
+Second, it means that no special syntax is necessary if you want to
+explicitly reference or call the method from a particular class.  In
+C++, if you want to use a method from base class that is overridden in
+a derived class, you have to use the :: operator -- in Python you can
+write baseclass.methodname(self, &lt;argument list&gt;).  This is
+particularly useful for __init__() methods, and in general in cases
+where a derived class method wants to extend the base class method of
+the same name and thus has to call the base class method somehow.
+<P>
+Lastly, for instance variables, it solves a syntactic problem with
+assignment: since local variables in Python are (by definition!) those
+variables to which a value assigned in a function body (and that
+aren't explicitly declared global), there has to be some way to tell
+the interpreter that an assignment was meant to assign to an instance
+variable instead of to a local variable, and it should preferably be
+syntactic (for efficiency reasons).  C++ does this through
+declarations, but Python doesn't have declarations and it would be a
+pity having to introduce them just for this purpose.  Using the
+explicit "self.var" solves this nicely.  Similarly, for using instance
+variables, having to write "self.var" means that references to
+unqualified names inside a method don't have to search the instance's
+directories.

+<H2><A NAME="6.8">6.8. Can't you emulate threads in the interpreter instead of relying on an OS-specific thread implementation?</A></H2>
+Answer 1: Unfortunately, the interpreter pushes at least one C stack
+frame for each Python stack frame.  Also, extensions can call back into
+Python at almost random moments.  Therefore a complete threads
+implementation requires thread support for C.
+<P>
+Answer 2: Fortunately, there is Stackless Python, which has a completely redesigned interpreter loop that avoids the C stack. It's still experimental but looks very promising. Although it is binary compatible with standard Python, it's still unclear whether Stackless will make it into the core -- maybe it's just too revolutionary. Stackless Python currently lives here: <A HREF="http://www.stackless.com">http://www.stackless.com</A>. A microthread implementation that uses it can be found here: <A HREF="http://world.std.com/~wware/uthread.html">http://world.std.com/~wware/uthread.html</A>.

+Python lambda forms cannot contain statements because Python's
+syntactic framework can't handle statements nested inside expressions.
+<P>
+However, in Python, this is not a serious problem.  Unlike lambda
+forms in other languages, where they add functionality, Python lambdas
+are only a shorthand notation if you're too lazy to define a function.
+<P>
+Functions are already first class objects in Python, and can be
+declared in a local scope.  Therefore the only advantage of using a
+lambda form instead of a locally-defined function is that you don't need to invent a name for the function -- but that's just a local variable to which the function object (which is exactly the same type of object that a lambda form yields) is assigned!

+<H2><A NAME="6.12">6.12. Why is there no more efficient way of iterating over a dictionary than first constructing the list of keys()?</A></H2>
+As of Python 2.2, you can now iterate over a dictionary directly,
+using the new implied dictionary iterator:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    for k in d: ...
+</PRE>
+There are also methods returning iterators over the values and items:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    for k in d.iterkeys(): # same as above
+    for v in d.itervalues(): # iterate over values
+    for k, v in d.iteritems(): # iterate over items
+</PRE>
+All these require that you do not modify the dictionary during the loop.
+<P>
+For previous Python versions, the following defense should do:
+<P>
+Have you tried it?  I bet it's fast enough for your purposes!  In
+most cases such a list takes only a few percent of the space occupied
+by the dictionary.  Apart from the fixed header,
+the list needs only 4 bytes (the size of a pointer) per
+key.  A dictionary uses 12 bytes per key plus between 30 and 70
+percent hash table overhead, plus the space for the keys and values.
+By necessity, all keys are distinct objects, and a string object (the most
+common key type) costs at least 20 bytes plus the length of the
+string.  Add to that the values contained in the dictionary, and you
+see that 4 bytes more per item really isn't that much more memory...
+<P>
+A call to dict.keys() makes one fast scan over the dictionary
+(internally, the iteration function does exist) copying the pointers
+to the key objects into a pre-allocated list object of the right size.
+The iteration time isn't lost (since you'll have to iterate anyway --
+unless in the majority of cases your loop terminates very prematurely
+(which I doubt since you're getting the keys in random order).
+<P>
+I don't expose the dictionary iteration operation to Python
+programmers because the dictionary shouldn't be modified during the
+entire iteration -- if it is, there's a small chance that the
+dictionary is reorganized because the hash table becomes too full, and
+then the iteration may miss some items and see others twice.  Exactly
+because this only occurs rarely, it would lead to hidden bugs in
+programs: it's easy never to have it happen during test runs if you
+only insert or delete a few items per iteration -- but your users will 
+surely hit upon it sooner or later.

+<H2><A NAME="6.13">6.13. Can Python be compiled to machine code, C or some other language?</A></H2>
+Not easily.  Python's high level data types, dynamic typing of
+objects and run-time invocation of the interpreter (using eval() or
+exec) together mean that a "compiled" Python program would probably
+consist mostly of calls into the Python run-time system, even for
+seemingly simple operations like "x+1".
+<P>
+Several projects described in the Python newsgroup or at past
+Python conferences have shown that this approach is feasible,
+although the speedups reached so far are only modest (e.g. 2x).
+JPython uses the same strategy for compiling to Java bytecode.
+(Jim Hugunin has demonstrated that in combination with whole-program
+analysis, speedups of 1000x are feasible for small demo programs.
+See the website for the 1997 Python conference.)
+<P>
+Internally, Python source code is always translated into a "virtual
+machine code" or "byte code" representation before it is interpreted
+(by the "Python virtual machine" or "bytecode interpreter").  In order
+to avoid the overhead of parsing and translating modules that rarely
+change over and over again, this byte code is written on a file whose
+name ends in ".pyc" whenever a module is parsed (from a file whose
+name ends in ".py").  When the corresponding .py file is changed, it
+is parsed and translated again and the .pyc file is rewritten.
+<P>
+There is no performance difference once the .pyc file has been loaded
+(the bytecode read from the .pyc file is exactly the same as the bytecode
+created by direct translation).  The only difference is that loading
+code from a .pyc file is faster than parsing and translating a .py
+file, so the presence of precompiled .pyc files will generally improve
+start-up time of Python scripts.  If desired, the Lib/compileall.py
+module/script can be used to force creation of valid .pyc files for a
+given set of modules.
+<P>
+Note that the main script executed by Python, even if its filename
+ends in .py, is not compiled to a .pyc file.  It is compiled to
+bytecode, but the bytecode is not saved to a file.
+<P>
+If you are looking for a way to translate Python programs in order to
+distribute them in binary form, without the need to distribute the
+interpreter and library as well, have a look at the freeze.py script
+in the Tools/freeze directory.  This creates a single binary file
+incorporating your program, the Python interpreter, and those parts of
+the Python library that are needed by your program.  Of course, the
+resulting binary will only run on the same type of platform as that
+used to create it.
+<P>
+Newsflash: there are now several programs that do this, to some extent.
+Look for Psyco, Pyrex, PyInline, Py2Cmod, and Weave.

+<H2><A NAME="6.14">6.14. How does Python manage memory?</A></H2>
+The details of Python memory management depend on the implementation.
+The standard Python implementation (the C implementation) uses reference
+counting and another mechanism to collect reference cycles.
+<P>
+Jython relies on the Java runtime; so it uses
+the JVM's garbage collector.  This difference can cause some subtle
+porting problems if your Python code depends on the behavior of
+the reference counting implementation.
+<P>
+The reference cycle collector was added in CPython 2.0. It
+periodically executes a cycle detection algorithm which looks for inaccessible cycles and deletes the objects involved. A new gc module provides functions to perform a garbage collection, obtain debugging statistics, and tuning the collector's parameters. 
+<P>
+The detection of cycles can be disabled when Python is compiled, if you can't afford even a tiny speed penalty or suspect that the cycle collection is buggy, by specifying the "--without-cycle-gc" switch when running the configure script. 
+<P>
+Sometimes objects get stuck in "tracebacks" temporarily and hence are not deallocated when you might expect.  Clear the tracebacks via
+<P>
+<PRE>
+       import sys
+       sys.exc_traceback = sys.last_traceback = None
+</PRE>
+Tracebacks are used for reporting errors and implementing debuggers and related things.  They contain a portion of the program state extracted during the handling of an exception (usually the most recent exception).
+<P>
+In the absence of circularities and modulo tracebacks, Python programs need not explicitly manage memory.
+<P>
+Why python doesn't use a more traditional garbage collection
+scheme? For one thing, unless this were
+added to C as a standard feature, it's a portability pain in the ass.
+And yes, I know about the Xerox library.  It has bits of assembler
+code for <I>most</I> <I>common</I> platforms.  Not for all.  And although it is
+mostly transparent, it isn't completely transparent (when I once
+linked Python with it, it dumped core).
+<P>
+Traditional GC also becomes a problem when Python gets embedded into
+other applications.  While in a stand-alone Python it may be fine to
+replace the standard malloc() and free() with versions provided by the
+GC library, an application embedding Python may want to have its <I>own</I>
+substitute for malloc() and free(), and may not want Python's.  Right
+now, Python works with anything that implements malloc() and free()
+properly.
+<P>
+In Jython, the following code (which is 
+fine in C Python) will probably run out of file descriptors long before
+it runs out of memory:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        for file in &lt;very long list of files&gt;:
+                f = open(file)
+                c = f.read(1)
+</PRE>
+Using the current reference counting and destructor scheme, each new
+assignment to f closes the previous file.  Using GC, this is not
+guaranteed.  Sure, you can think of ways to fix this.  But it's not
+off-the-shelf technology.  If you want to write code that will
+work with any Python implementation, you should explicitly close
+the file; this will work regardless of GC:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+       for file in &lt;very long list of files&gt;:
+                f = open(file)
+                c = f.read(1)

+This is done so that tuples can be immutable while lists are mutable.

+Immutable tuples are useful in situations where you need to pass a few
+items to a function and don't want the function to modify the tuple;

+<H2><A NAME="6.18">6.18. Why must dictionary keys be immutable?</A></H2>
+The hash table implementation of dictionaries uses a hash value
+calculated from the key value to find the key.  If the key were
+a mutable object, its value could change, and thus its hash could
+change.  But since whoever changes the key object can't tell that
+is incorporated in a dictionary, it can't move the entry around in
+the dictionary.  Then, when you try to look up the same object
+in the dictionary, it won't be found, since its hash value is different;
+and if you try to look up the old value, it won't be found either,
+since the value of the object found in that hash bin differs.
+<P>
+If you think you need to have a dictionary indexed with a list,
+try to use a tuple instead.  The function tuple(l) creates a tuple
+with the same entries as the list l.
+<P>
+Some unacceptable solutions that have been proposed:
+<P>
+- Hash lists by their address (object ID).  This doesn't work because
+if you construct a new list with the same value it won't be found;
+e.g.,
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  d = {[1,2]: '12'}
+  print d[[1,2]]
+</PRE>
+will raise a KeyError exception because the id of the [1,2] used
+in the second line differs from that in the first line.
+In other words, dictionary keys should be compared using '==', not using 'is'.
+<P>
+- Make a copy when using a list as a key.  This doesn't work because
+the list (being a mutable object) could contain a reference to itself,
+and then the copying code would run into an infinite loop.
+<P>
+- Allow lists as keys but tell the user not to modify them.  This would
+allow a class of hard-to-track bugs in programs that I'd rather not see;
+it invalidates an important invariant of dictionaries (every value in
+d.keys() is usable as a key of the dictionary).
+<P>
+- Mark lists as read-only once they are used as a dictionary key.
+The problem is that it's not just the top-level object that could change
+its value; you could use a tuple containing a list as a key.  Entering
+anything as a key into a dictionary would require marking all objects
+reachable from there as read-only -- and again, self-referential objects
+could cause an infinite loop again (and again and again).
+<P>
+There is a trick to get around this if you need to, but
+use it at your own risk:  You
+can wrap a mutable structure inside a class instance which
+has both a __cmp__ and a __hash__ method.  
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   class listwrapper:
+        def __init__(self, the_list):
+              self.the_list = the_list
+        def __cmp__(self, other):
+              return self.the_list == other.the_list
+        def __hash__(self):
+              l = self.the_list
+              result = 98767 - len(l)*555
+              for i in range(len(l)):
+                   try:

+                        result = (result % 7777777) + i * 333
+              return result
+</PRE>
+Note that the hash computation is complicated by the
+possibility that some members of the list may be unhashable
+and also by the possibility of arithmetic overflow.
+<P>
+You must make
+sure that the hash value for all such wrapper objects that reside in a
+dictionary (or other hash based structure), remain fixed while
+the object is in the dictionary (or other structure).
+<P>
+Furthermore it must always be the case that if
+o1 == o2 (ie o1.__cmp__(o2)==0) then hash(o1)==hash(o2)
+(ie, o1.__hash__() == o2.__hash__()), regardless of whether
+the object is in a dictionary or not.
+If you fail to meet these restrictions dictionaries and other
+hash based structures may misbehave!
+<P>
+In the case of listwrapper above whenever the wrapper
+object is in a dictionary the wrapped list must not change
+to avoid anomalies.  Don't do this unless you are prepared

+<H2><A NAME="6.22">6.22. Why do all classes have the same type? Why do instances all have the same type?</A></H2>
+The Pythonic use of the word "type" is quite different from
+common usage in much of the rest of the programming language
+world.  A "type" in Python is a description for an object's operations
+as implemented in C.  All classes have the same operations
+implemented in C which sometimes "call back" to differing program
+fragments implemented in Python, and hence all classes have the
+same type.  Similarly at the C level all class instances have the
+same C implementation, and hence all instances have the same
+type.
+<P>
+Remember that in Python usage "type" refers to a C implementation
+of an object.  To distinguish among instances of different classes
+use Instance.__class__, and also look to 4.47.  Sorry for the
+terminological confusion, but at this point in Python's development
+nothing can be done!

+Objects referenced from Python module global name spaces are
+not always deallocated when Python exits.
+<P>
+This may happen if there are circular references (see question
+4.17).  There are also certain bits of memory that are allocated
+by the C library that are impossible to free (e.g. a tool
+like Purify will complain about these).
+<P>
+But in general, Python 1.5 and beyond
+(in contrast with earlier versions) is quite agressive about
+cleaning up memory on exit.
+<P>
+If you want to force Python to delete certain things on deallocation
+use the sys.exitfunc hook to force those deletions.  For example
+if you are debugging an extension module using a memory analysis
+tool and you wish to make Python deallocate almost everything
+you might use an exitfunc like this one:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+  import sys
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+  def my_exitfunc():
+       print "cleaning up"
+       import sys
+       # do order dependant deletions here
+       ...
+       # now delete everything else in arbitrary order
+       for x in sys.modules.values():
+            d = x.__dict__
+            for name in d.keys():
+                 del d[name]
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+  sys.exitfunc = my_exitfunc
+</PRE>
+Other exitfuncs can be less drastic, of course.
+<P>
+(In fact, this one just does what Python now already does itself;
+but the example of using sys.exitfunc to force cleanups is still
+useful.)

+The notation

+</PRE>
+usually translates to the equivalent of
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    Class.attribute(instance, arg1, arg2)

+where Class is a (super)class of instance.  Similarly
+<P>

+sets an attribute of an instance (overriding any attribute of a class
+that instance inherits).  
+<P>
+Sometimes programmers want to have
+different behaviours -- they want a method which does not bind
+to the instance and a class attribute which changes in place.
+Python does not preclude these behaviours, but you have to
+adopt a convention to implement them.  One way to accomplish
+this is to use "list wrappers" and global functions.
+<P>

+If you don't understand why you'd ever want to do this, that's

+want to do it!  This is dangerous trickery, not recommended

+<H2><A NAME="6.25">6.25. Why are default values sometimes shared between objects?</A></H2>
+It is often expected that a function CALL creates new objects for default
+values. This is not what happens. Default values are created when the
+function is DEFINED, that is, there is only one such object that all 
+functions refer to. If that object is changed, subsequent calls to the 
+function will refer to this changed object. By definition, immutable objects
+(like numbers, strings, tuples, None) are safe from change. Changes to mutable 
+objects (like dictionaries, lists, class instances) is what causes the
+confusion.
+<P>
+Because of this feature it is good programming practice not to use mutable
+objects as default values, but to introduce them in the function.
+Don't write:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+	def foo(dict={}):  # XXX shared reference to one dict for all calls
+	    ...
+</PRE>
+but:
+<PRE>
+	def foo(dict=None):
+		if dict is None:
+			dict = {} # create a new dict for local namespace
+</PRE>

+<H2><A NAME="6.26">6.26. Why no goto?</A></H2>
+Actually, you can use exceptions to provide a "structured goto"
+that even works across function calls.  Many feel that exceptions
+can conveniently emulate all reasonable uses of the "go" or "goto"
+constructs of C, Fortran, and other languages.  For example:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   class label: pass # declare a label
+   try:
+        ...
+        if (condition): raise label() # goto label
+        ...
+   except label: # where to goto
+        pass
+   ...
+</PRE>
+This doesn't allow you to jump into the middle of a loop, but
+that's usually considered an abuse of goto anyway.  Use sparingly.

+<H2><A NAME="6.27">6.27. How do you make a higher order function in Python?</A></H2>
+You have two choices: you can use default arguments and override
+them or you can use "callable objects."  For example suppose you
+wanted to define linear(a,b) which returns a function f where f(x)
+computes the value a*x+b.  Using default arguments:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+     def linear(a,b):
+         def result(x, a=a, b=b):
+             return a*x + b
+         return result
+</PRE>
+Or using callable objects:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+     class linear:
+        def __init__(self, a, b):
+            self.a, self.b = a,b
+        def __call__(self, x):
+            return self.a * x + self.b
+</PRE>
+In both cases:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+     taxes = linear(0.3,2)
+</PRE>
+gives a callable object where taxes(10e6) == 0.3 * 10e6 + 2.
+<P>
+The defaults strategy has the disadvantage that the default arguments
+could be accidentally or maliciously overridden.  The callable objects
+approach has the disadvantage that it is a bit slower and a bit
+longer.  Note however that a collection of callables can share
+their signature via inheritance.  EG
+<P>
+<PRE>
+      class exponential(linear):
+         # __init__ inherited
+         def __call__(self, x):
+             return self.a * (x ** self.b)
+</PRE>
+On comp.lang.python, <A HREF="mailto:zenin@bawdycaste.org">zenin@bawdycaste.org</A> points out that
+an object can encapsulate state for several methods in order
+to emulate the "closure" concept from functional programming
+languages, for example:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    class counter:
+        value = 0
+        def set(self, x): self.value = x
+        def up(self): self.value=self.value+1
+        def down(self): self.value=self.value-1
+</PRE>
+<PRE>
+    count = counter()
+    inc, dec, reset = count.up, count.down, count.set
+</PRE>
+Here inc, dec and reset act like "functions which share the
+same closure containing the variable count.value" (if you
+like that way of thinking).

+More precisely, they can't end with an odd number of backslashes:

+leaving an unterminated string.
+<P>
+Raw strings were designed to ease creating input for processors (chiefly
+regular expression engines) that want to do their own backslash escape processing. Such processors consider an unmatched trailing backslash to be an error anyway, so raw strings disallow that.  In return, they allow you to pass on the string quote character by escaping it with a backslash.  These rules work well when r-strings are used for their intended purpose.

+<P>
+<PRE>
+    while (line = readline(f)) {
+        ...do something with line...
+    }
+</PRE>
+where in Python you're forced to write this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    while 1:
+        line = f.readline()
+        if not line:
+            break
+        ...do something with line...
+</PRE>
+This issue comes up in the Python newsgroup with alarming frequency
+-- search Deja News for past messages about assignment expression.
+The reason for not allowing assignment in Python expressions
+is a common, hard-to-find bug in those other languages,
+caused by this construct:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    if (x = 0) {
+        ...error handling...
+    }
+    else {
+        ...code that only works for nonzero x...
+    }
+</PRE>
+Many alternatives have been proposed.  Most are hacks that save some
+typing but use arbitrary or cryptic syntax or keywords,
+and fail the simple criterion that I use for language change proposals:
+it should intuitively suggest the proper meaning to a human reader
+who has not yet been introduced with the construct.
+<P>
+The earliest time something can be done about this will be with
+Python 2.0 -- if it is decided that it is worth fixing.
+An interesting phenomenon is that most experienced Python programmers
+recognize the "while 1" idiom and don't seem to be missing the
+assignment in expression construct much; it's only the newcomers
+who express a strong desire to add this to the language.
+<P>
+One fairly elegant solution would be to introduce a new operator
+for assignment in expressions spelled ":=" -- this avoids the "="
+instead of "==" problem.  It would have the same precedence
+as comparison operators but the parser would flag combination with
+other comparisons (without disambiguating parentheses) as an error.
+<P>
+Finally -- there's an alternative way of spelling this that seems
+attractive but is generally less robust than the "while 1" solution:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    line = f.readline()
+    while line:
+        ...do something with line...
+        line = f.readline()
+</PRE>
+The problem with this is that if you change your mind about exactly
+how you get the next line (e.g. you want to change it into
+sys.stdin.readline()) you have to remember to change two places
+in your program -- the second one hidden at the bottom of the loop.

+<H2><A NAME="6.31">6.31. Why doesn't Python have a &quot;with&quot; statement like some other languages?</A></H2>
+Basically, because such a construct would be terribly ambiguous. Thanks to Carlos Ribeiro for the following remarks:
+<P>
+Some languages, such as Object Pascal, Delphi, and C++, use static types. So it is possible to know, in an unambiguous way, what member is being assigned in a "with" clause. This is the main point - the compiler <I>always</I>  knows the scope of every variable at compile time.
+<P>
+Python uses dynamic types. It is impossible to know in advance which 
+attribute will be referenced at runtime. Member attributes may be added or removed from objects on the fly. This would make it impossible to know, from a simple reading, what attribute is being referenced - a local one, a global one, or a member attribute.
+<P>
+For instance, take the following snippet (it is incomplete btw, just to 
+give you the idea):
+<P>
+<PRE>
+   def with_is_broken(a):
+      with a:
+         print x
+</PRE>
+The snippet assumes that "a" must have a member attribute called "x". 
+However, there is nothing in Python that guarantees that. What should 
+happen if "a" is, let us say, an integer? And if I have a global variable named "x", will it end up being used inside the with block? As you see, the dynamic nature of Python makes such choices much harder.
+<P>
+The primary benefit of "with" and similar language features (reduction of code volume) can, however, easily be achieved in Python by assignment. Instead of:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    function(args).dict[index][index].a = 21
+    function(args).dict[index][index].b = 42
+    function(args).dict[index][index].c = 63
+</PRE>
+would become:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    ref = function(args).dict[index][index]
+    ref.a = 21
+    ref.b = 42
+    ref.c = 63
+</PRE>
+This also has the happy side-effect of increasing execution speed, since name bindings are resolved at run-time in Python, and the second method only needs to perform the resolution once. If the referenced object does not have a, b and c attributes, of course, the end result is still a run-time exception.

+The Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is often seen as a hindrance to
+Python's deployment on high-end multiprocessor server machines,
+because a multi-threaded Python program effectively only uses
+one CPU, due to the insistence that (almost) all Python code
+can only run while the GIL is held.
+<P>
+Back in the days of Python 1.5, Greg Stein actually implemented
+a comprehensive patch set ("free threading")
+that removed the GIL, replacing it with
+fine-grained locking.  Unfortunately, even on Windows (where locks
+are very efficient) this ran ordinary Python code about twice as
+slow as the interpreter using the GIL.  On Linux the performance
+loss was even worse (pthread locks aren't as efficient).
+<P>
+Since then, the idea of getting rid of the GIL has occasionally
+come up but nobody has found a way to deal with the expected slowdown;
+Greg's free threading patch set has not been kept up-to-date for
+later Python versions.
+<P>
+This doesn't mean that you can't make good use of Python on
+multi-CPU machines!  You just have to be creative with dividing
+the work up between multiple <I>processes</I> rather than multiple
+<I>threads</I>.
+<P>
+<P>
+It has been suggested that the GIL should be a per-interpreter-state
+lock rather than truly global; interpreters then wouldn't be able
+to share objects.  Unfortunately, this isn't likely to happen either.
+<P>
+It would be a tremendous amount of work, because many object
+implementations currently have global state.  E.g. small ints and
+small strings are cached; these caches would have to be moved to the
+interpreter state.  Other object types have their own free list; these
+free lists would have to be moved to the interpreter state.  And so
+on.
+<P>
+And I doubt that it can even be done in finite time, because the same
+problem exists for 3rd party extensions.  It is likely that 3rd party
+extensions are being written at a faster rate than you can convert
+them to store all their global state in the interpreter state.
+<P>
+And finally, once you have multiple interpreters not sharing any
+state, what have you gained over running each interpreter
+in a separate process?

+If you are running any version of Windows, then you have the wrong distribution.  The FAQ lists current Windows versions.  Notably, Pythonwin and wpy provide fully functional installations.
+<P>
+But if you are sure you have the only distribution with a hope of working on
+your system, then...
+<P>
+You still need to copy the files from the distribution directory
+"python/Lib" to your system.  If you don't have the full distribution,
+you can get the file lib&lt;version&gt;.tar.gz from most ftp sites carrying
+Python; this is a subset of the distribution containing just those
+files, e.g.  <A HREF="ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/src/lib1.4.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/src/lib1.4.tar.gz</A>.
+<P>
+Once you have installed the library, you need to point sys.path to it.
+Assuming the library is in C:\misc\python\lib, the following commands
+will point your Python interpreter to it (note the doubled backslashes
+-- you can also use single forward slashes instead):
+<P>
+<PRE>
+        >>> import sys
+        >>> sys.path.insert(0, 'C:\\misc\\python\\lib')

+Regarding the same question for the PC, Kurt Wm. Hemr writes: "While

+This line will allow you to call your script with a simple reference like:
+http://yourserver/scripts/yourscript.py 
+provided "scripts" is an "executable" directory for your server (which
+it usually is by default).
+The "-u" flag specifies unbuffered and binary mode for stdin - needed when working with binary data
+<P>
+In addition, it is recommended by people who would know that using ".py" may 
+not be a good idea for the file extensions when used in this context
+(you might want to reserve *.py for support modules and use *.cgi or *.cgp
+for "main program" scripts).
+However, that issue is beyond this Windows FAQ entry.

+<P>
+I've got a theory about why this happens, but it's only 
+a theory.  NT knows the difference between shared directories, 
+and regular directories.  "\\rorschach\public" isn't a 
+directory, it's _really_ an IPC abstraction.  This is sort

+<P>
+[Clarification by <A HREF="mailto:funkster@midwinter.com">funkster@midwinter.com</A>]
+It's not actually a Python

+I've seen a number of reports of PyRun_SimpleFile() failing
+in a Windows port of an application embedding Python that worked
+fine on Unix.  PyRun_SimpleString() works fine on both platforms.
+<P>
+I think this happens because the application was compiled with a 
+different set of compiler flags than Python15.DLL.  It seems that some 
+compiler flags affect the standard I/O library in such a way that 
+using different flags makes calls fail.  You need to set it for 
+the non-debug multi-threaded DLL (/MD on the command line, or can be set via MSVC under Project Settings-&gt;C++/Code Generation then the "Use rum-time library" dropdown.)
+<P>
+Also note that you can not mix-and-match Debug and Release versions.  If you wish to use the Debug Multithreaded DLL, then your module _must_ have an "_d" appended to the base name.

+Yes, .pyd files are dll's.  But there are a few differences.  If you
+have a DLL named foo.pyd, then it must have a function initfoo().  You
+can then write Python "import foo", and Python will search for foo.pyd
+(as well as foo.py, foo.pyc) and if it finds it, will attempt to call
+initfoo() to initialize it.  You do not link your .exe with foo.lib,

+<P>
+Note that the search path for foo.pyd is PYTHONPATH, not the same as
+the path that Windows uses to search for foo.dll.  Also, foo.pyd need
+not be present to run your program, whereas if you linked your program
+with a dll, the dll is required.  Of course, foo.pyd is required if
+you want to say "import foo".  In a dll, linkage is declared in the
+source code with __declspec(dllexport).  In a .pyd, linkage is defined
+in a list of available functions.

+(Python.File) and gives that file type an open command that runs the

+This is a Microsoft DLL, and a notorious

+Edward K. Ream &lt;<A HREF="mailto:edream@tds.net">edream@tds.net</A>&gt; writes
+<P>
+When '##' appears in a file name below, it is an abbreviated version number.  For example, for Python 2.1.1, ## will be replaced by 21.
+<P>
+Embedding the Python interpreter in a Windows app can be summarized as
+follows:
+<P>
+1. Do _not_ build Python into your .exe file directly.  On Windows,
+Python must be a DLL to handle importing modules that are themselves
+DLL's.  (This is the first key undocumented fact.) Instead, link to
+python##.dll; it is typically installed in c:\Windows\System.  
+<P>
+You can link to Python statically or dynamically.  Linking statically
+means linking against python##.lib The drawback is that your app won't
+run if python##.dll does not exist on your system.
+<P>
+General note: python##.lib is the so-called "import lib" corresponding
+to python.dll.  It merely defines symbols for the linker.
+<P>
+Borland note: convert python##.lib to OMF format using Coff2Omf.exe
+first.
+<P>
+Linking dynamically greatly simplifies link options; everything happens
+at run time.  Your code must load python##.dll using the Windows
+LoadLibraryEx() routine.  The code must also use access routines and
+data in python##.dll (that is, Python's C API's) using pointers
+obtained by the Windows GetProcAddress() routine.  Macros can make
+using these pointers transparent to any C code that calls routines in
+Python's C API.
+<P>
+2. If you use SWIG, it is easy to create a Python "extension module"
+that will make the app's data and methods available to Python.  SWIG
+will handle just about all the grungy details for you.  The result is C
+code that you link _into your .exe file_ (!)  You do _not_ have to
+create a DLL file, and this also simplifies linking.
+<P>
+3.  SWIG will create an init function (a C function) whose name depends
+on the name of the extension module.  For example, if the name of the
+module is leo, the init function will be called initleo().  If you use
+SWIG shadow classes, as you should, the init function will be called
+initleoc().  This initializes a mostly hidden helper class used by the
+shadow class.
+<P>
+The reason you can link the C code in step 2 into your .exe file is that
+calling the initialization function is equivalent to importing the
+module into Python! (This is the second key undocumented fact.)
+<P>
+4. In short, you can use the following code to initialize the Python
+interpreter with your extension module.
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    #include "python.h"
+    ...
+    Py_Initialize();  // Initialize Python.
+    initmyAppc();  // Initialize (import) the helper class. 
+    PyRun_SimpleString("import myApp") ;  // Import the shadow class.
+</PRE>
+5. There are two problems with Python's C API which will become apparent
+if you use a compiler other than MSVC, the compiler used to build
+python##.dll.
+<P>
+Problem 1: The so-called "Very High Level" functions that take FILE *
+arguments will not work in a multi-compiler environment; each compiler's
+notion of a struct FILE will be different.  From an implementation
+standpoint these are very _low_ level functions.
+<P>
+Problem 2: SWIG generates the following code when generating wrappers to
+void functions:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    Py_INCREF(Py_None);
+    _resultobj = Py_None;
+    return _resultobj;
+</PRE>
+Alas, Py_None is a macro that expands to a reference to a complex data
+structure called _Py_NoneStruct inside python##.dll.  Again, this code
+will fail in a mult-compiler environment.  Replace such code by:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    return Py_BuildValue("");
+</PRE>
+It may be possible to use SWIG's %typemap command to make the change
+automatically, though I have not been able to get this to work (I'm a
+complete SWIG newbie).
+<P>
+6. Using a Python shell script to put up a Python interpreter window
+from inside your Windows app is not a good idea; the resulting window
+will be independent of your app's windowing system.  Rather, you (or the
+wxPythonWindow class) should create a "native" interpreter window.  It
+is easy to connect that window to the Python interpreter.  You can
+redirect Python's i/o to _any_ object that supports read and write, so
+all you need is a Python object (defined in your extension module) that
+contains read() and write() methods.

+<H2><A NAME="8.18">8.18. How do I run a Python program under Windows?</A></H2>
+This is not necessarily quite the straightforward question it appears
+to be. If you are already familiar with running programs from the
+Windows command line then everything will seem really easy and
+obvious. If your computer experience is limited then you might need a
+little more guidance. Also there are differences between Windows 95,
+98, NT, ME, 2000 and XP which can add to the confusion. You might
+think of this as "why I pay software support charges" if you have a
+helpful and friendly administrator to help you set things up without
+having to understand all this yourself. If so, then great! Show them
+this page and it should be a done deal.
+<P>
+Unless you use some sort of integrated development environment (such
+as PythonWin or IDLE, to name only two in a growing family) then you
+will end up <I>typing</I> Windows commands into what is variously referred
+to as a "DOS window" or "Command prompt window". Usually you can
+create such a window from your Start menu (under Windows 2000 I use
+"Start | Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt").  You should be
+able to recognize when you have started such a window because you will
+see a Windows "command prompt", which usually looks like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    C:\>
+</PRE>
+The letter may be different, and there might be other things after it,
+so you might just as easily see something like:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    D:\Steve\Projects\Python>
+</PRE>
+depending on how your computer has been set up and what else you have
+recently done with it. Once you have started such a window, you are
+well on the way to running Python programs.
+<P>
+You need to realize that your Python scripts have to be processed by
+another program, usually called the "Python interpreter". The
+interpreter reads your script, "compiles" it into "Python bytecodes"
+(which are instructions for an imaginary computer known as the "Python
+Virtual Machine") and then executes the bytecodes to run your
+program. So, how do you arrange for the interpreter to handle your
+Python?
+<P>
+First, you need to make sure that your command window recognises the
+word "python" as an instruction to start the interpreter. If you have
+opened a command window, you should try entering the command:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    python
+</PRE>
+and hitting return. If you then see something like:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    Python 2.2 (#28, Dec 21 2001, 12:21:22) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
+    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
+    >>>
+</PRE>
+then this part of the job has been correctly managed during Python's
+installation process, and you have started the interpreter in
+"interactive mode". That means you can enter Python statements or
+expressions interactively and have them executed or evaluated while
+you wait. This is one of Python's strongest features, but it takes a
+little getting used to. Check it by entering a few expressions of your
+choice and seeing the results...
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    >>> print "Hello"
+    Hello
+    >>> "Hello" * 3
+    HelloHelloHello
+</PRE>
+When you want to end your interactive Python session, enter a
+terminator (hold the Ctrl key down while you enter a Z, then hit the
+"Enter" key) to get back to your Windows command prompt.  You may also
+find that you have a Start-menu entry such as "Start | Programs |
+Python 2.2 | Python (command line)" that results in you seeing the
+">>>" prompt in a new window. If so, the window will disappear after
+you enter the terminator -- Windows runs a single "python" command in
+the window, which terminates when you terminate the interpreter.
+<P>
+If the "python" command, instead of displaying the interpreter prompt ">>>", gives you a message like
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
+    operable program or batch file.
+</PRE>
+or
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    Bad command or filename
+</PRE>
+then you need to make sure that your computer knows where to find the
+Python interpreter. To do this you will have to modify a setting
+called the PATH, which is a just list of directories where Windows
+will look for programs. Rather than just enter the right command every
+time you create a command window, you should arrange for Python's
+installation directory to be added to the PATH of every command window
+as it starts. If you installed Python fairly recently then the command
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    dir C:\py*
+</PRE>
+will probably tell you where it is installed. Alternatively, perhaps
+you made a note. Otherwise you will be reduced to a search of your
+whole disk ... break out the Windows explorer and use "Tools | Find"
+or hit the "Search" button and look for "python.exe". Suppose you
+discover that Python is installed in the C:\Python22 directory (the
+default at the time of writing) then you should make sure that
+entering the command
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    c:\Python22\python
+</PRE>
+starts up the interpreter as above (and don't forget you'll need a
+"CTRL-Z" and an "Enter" to get out of it). Once you have verified the
+directory, you need to add it to the start-up routines your computer
+goes through.  For older versions of Windows the easiest way to do
+this is to edit the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You would want to add a line
+like the following to AUTOEXEC.BAT:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    PATH C:\Python22;%PATH%
+</PRE>
+For Windows NT, 2000 and (I assume) XP, you will need to add a string
+such as
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    ;C:\Python22
+</PRE>
+to the current setting for the PATH environment variable, which you
+will find in the properties window of "My Computer" under the
+"Advanced" tab. Note that if you have sufficient privilege you might
+get a choice of installing the settings either for the Current User or
+for System. The latter is preferred if you want everybody to be able
+to run Python on the machine.
+<P>
+If you aren't confident doing any of these manipulations yourself, ask
+for help!  At this stage you may or may not want to reboot your system
+to make absolutely sure the new setting has "taken" (don't you love
+the way Windows gives you these freqeuent coffee breaks). You probably
+won't need to for Windows NT, XP or 2000. You can also avoid it in
+earlier versions by editing the file C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\CMDINIT.BAT
+instead of AUTOEXEC.BAT.
+<P>
+You should now be able to start a new command window, enter
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    python
+</PRE>
+at the "C:>" (or whatever) prompt, and see the ">>>" prompt that
+indicates the Python interpreter is reading interactive commands.
+<P>
+Let's suppose you have a program called "pytest.py" in directory
+"C:\Steve\Projects\Python". A session to run that program might look
+like this:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    C:\> cd \Steve\Projects\Python
+    C:\Steve\Projects\Python> python pytest.py
+</PRE>
+Because you added a file name to the command to start the interpreter,
+when it starts up it reads the Python script in the named file,
+compiles it, executes it, and terminates (so you see another "C:\>"
+prompt).  You might also have entered
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    C:\> python \Steve\Projects\Python\pytest.py
+</PRE>
+if you hadn't wanted to change your current directory.
+<P>
+Under NT, 2000 and XP you may well find that the installation process
+has also arranged that the command
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    pytest.py
+</PRE>
+(or, if the file isn't in the current directory)
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    C:\Steve\Projects\Python\pytest.py
+</PRE>
+will automatically recognize the ".py" extension and run the Python
+interpreter on the named file. Using this feature is fine, but <I>some</I>
+versions of Windows have bugs which mean that this form isn't exactly
+equivalent to using the interpreter explicitly, so be careful. Easier
+to remember, for now, that
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    python C:\Steve\Projects\Python\pytest.py
+</PRE>
+works pretty close to the same, and redirection will work (more)
+reliably.
+<P>
+The important things to remember are:
+<P>
+1. Start Python from the Start Menu, or make sure the PATH is set
+correctly so Windows can find the Python interpreter.
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    python
+</PRE>
+should give you a '>>>" prompt from the Python interpreter. Don't
+forget the CTRL-Z and ENTER to terminate the interpreter (and, if you
+started the window from the Start Menu, make the window disappear).
+<P>
+2. Once this works, you run programs with commands:
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    python {program-file}
+</PRE>
+3. When you know the commands to use you can build Windows shortcuts
+to run the Python interpreter on any of your scripts, naming
+particular working directories, and adding them to your menus, but
+that's another lessFAQ. Take a look at
+<P>
+<PRE>
+    python --help
+</PRE>
+if your needs are complex.
+<P>
+4. Interactive mode (where you see the ">>>" prompt) is best used
+<I>not</I> for running programs, which are better executed as in steps 2
+and 3, but for checking that individual statements and expressions do
+what you think they will, and for developing code by experiment.

+Contents of the @PVER@-dbg package
+-------------------------------------
+
+For debugging python and extension modules, you may want to add the contents
+of /usr/share/doc/@PVER@/gdbinit (found in the @PVER@-dev package) to your
+~/.gdbinit file.
+
+@PVER@-dbg contains two sets of packages:
+
+ - debugging symbols for the standard @PVER@ build. When this package
+   is installed, gdb will automatically load up the debugging symbols
+   from it when debugging @PVER@ or one of the included extension
+   modules.
+
+ - a separate @PVER@-dbg binary, configured --with-pydebug, enabling the
+   additional debugging code to help debug memory management problems.
+
+For the latter, all extension modules have to be recompiled to
+correctly load with an pydebug enabled build.
+
+
+Debian and Ubuntu specific changes to the debug interpreter
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+The python2.4 and python2.5 packages in Ubuntu feisty are modified to
+first look for extension modules under a different name.
+
+  normal build: foo.so
+  debug build:  foo_d.so foo.so
+
+This naming schema allows installation of the extension modules into
+the same path (The naming is directly taken from the Windows builds
+which already uses this naming scheme).
+
+See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PyDbgBuilds for more information.
+
+
+Using the python-dbg builds
+---------------------------
+
+ * Call the python-dbg or the pythonX.Y-dbg binaries instead of the
+   python or pythonX.Y binaries.
+
+ * Debugging a third party extension requires the availabilty of the
+   extension built for the debug interpreter.  For an extension `foo'
+   make sure that the `python-foo-dbg' package is installed, or else
+   the interpreter falls back to the extension for the normal build.
+   The error on fallback is expected.
+
+ * Properties of the debug build are described in
+   /usr/share/doc/@PVER@/SpecialBuilds.txt.gz.
+   The debug interpreter is built with Py_DEBUG defined.
+
+ * From SpecialBuilds.txt: This is what is generally meant by "a debug
+   build" of Python.  Py_DEBUG implies LLTRACE, Py_REF_DEBUG,
+   Py_TRACE_REFS, and PYMALLOC_DEBUG (if WITH_PYMALLOC is enabled).
+   In addition, C assert()s are enabled (via the C way: by not defining
+   NDEBUG), and some routines do additional sanity checks inside
+   "#ifdef Py_DEBUG" blocks.

+
+TODO's
+------
+
+- time.strptime cannot be used. The required _strptime module is not
+  included in the -minimal package yet. _strptime, locale, _locale and
+  calendar have to be added.
+
+- modules used very often in the testsuite: copy, cPickle, operator.

+  Python @VER@ for Debian
+  ---------------------
+
+This is Python @VER@ packaged for Debian.
+
+This document contains information specific to the Debian packages of
+Python @VER@.
+
+
+
+   [TODO: This document is not yet up-to-date with the packages.]
+
+Currently, it features those two main topics:
+
+  1. Release notes for the Debian packages:
+  2. Notes for developers using the Debian Python packages:
+
+Release notes and documentation from the upstream package are installed
+in /usr/share/doc/@PVER@/.
+
+There's a mailing list for discussion of issues related to Python on Debian
+systems: debian-python@lists.debian.org. The list is not intended for
+general Python problems, but as a forum for maintainers of Python-related
+packages and interested third parties.
+
+
+
+1. Release notes for the Debian packages:
+
+
+Results of the regression test:
+------------------------------
+
+The package does successfully run the regression tests for all included
+modules. Seven packages are skipped since they are platform-dependent and
+can't be used with Linux.
+
+
+2. Notes for developers using the Debian python packages:
+
+See the draft of the Debian Python policy in /usr/share/doc/python.
+
+distutils can be found in the @PVER@-dev package. Development files
+like the python library or Makefiles can be found in the @PVER@-dev
+package in /usr/lib/@PVER@/config. Therefore, if you need to install 
+a pure python extension, you only need @PVER@. On the other hand, to 
+install a C extension, you need @PVER@-dev.
+
+a) Locally installed Python add-ons
+
+    /usr/local/lib/@PVER@/site-packages/
+    /usr/local/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
+
+b) Python add-ons packaged for Debian
+
+    /usr/lib/@PVER@/site-packages/
+    /usr/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
+
+Note that no package must install files directly into /usr/lib/@PVER@/
+or /usr/local/lib/@PVER@/. Only the site-packages directory is allowed
+for third-party extensions.
+
+Use of the new `package' scheme is strongly encouraged. The `ni' interface
+is obsolete in python 1.5.
+
+Header files for extensions go into /usr/include/@PVER@/.
+
+
+Installing extensions for local use only:
+----------------------------------------
+
+Consider using distutils ...
+
+Most extensions use Python's Makefile.pre.in. Note that Makefile.pre.in
+by default will install files into /usr/lib/, not into /usr/local/lib/,
+which is not allowed for local extensions. You'll have to change the
+Makefile accordingly. Most times, "make prefix=/usr/local install" will
+work.

+
+ Python and dbm modules on Debian
+ --------------------------------
+
+This file documents the configuration of the dbm modules for Debian. It
+gives hints at the preferred use of the dbm modules.
+
+
+The preferred way to access dbm databases in Python is the anydbm module.
+dbm databases behave like mappings (dictionaries).
+
+Since there exist several dbm database formats, we choose the following
+layout for Python on Debian:
+
+  * creating a new database with anydbm will create a Berkeley DB 2.X Hash
+    database file. This is the standard format used by libdb starting
+    with glibc 2.1.
+
+  * opening an existing database with anydbm will try to guess the format
+    of the file (using whichdb) and then load it using one of the bsddb,
+    bsddb1, gdbm or dbm (only if the python-gdbm package is installed)
+    or dumbdbm modules.
+
+  * The modules use the following database formats:
+
+    - bsddb:   Berkeley DB 2.X Hash (as in libc6 >=2.1 or libdb2)
+    - bsddb1:  Berkeley DB 1.85 Hash (as in libc6 >=2.1 or libdb2)
+    - gdbm:    GNU dbm 1.x or ndbm
+    - dbm:     " (nearly the same as the gdbm module for us)
+    - dumbdbm: a hand-crafted format only used in this module
+
+    That means that all usual formats should be readable with anydbm.
+
+  * If you want to create a database in a format different from DB 2.X,
+    you can still directly use the specified module.
+
+  * I.e. bsddb is the preferred module, and DB 2.X is the preferred format.
+
+  * Note that the db1hash and bsddb1 modules are Debian specific. anydbm
+    and whichdb have been modified to support DB 2.X Hash files (see
+    below for details).
+    
+
+
+For experts only:
+----------------
+
+Although bsddb employs the new DB 2.X format and uses the new Sleepycat
+DB 2 library as included with glibc >= 2.1, it's still using the old
+DB 1.85 API (which is still supported by DB 2).
+
+A more recent version 1.1 of the BSD DB module (available from
+http://starship.skyport.net/robind/python/) directly uses the DB 2.X API.
+It has a richer set of features.
+
+
+On a glibc 2.1 system, bsddb is linked with -ldb, bsddb1 is linked with
+-ldb1 and gdbm as well as dbm are linked with -lgdbm.
+
+On a glibc 2.0 system (e.g. potato for m68k or slink), bsddb will be
+linked with -ldb2 while bsddb1 will be linked with -ldb (therefore
+python-base here depends on libdb2).
+
+
+db1hash and bsddb1 nearly completely identical to dbhash and bsddb. The
+only difference is that bsddb is linked with the real DB 2 library, while
+bsddb1 is linked with an library which provides compatibility with legacy
+DB 1.85 databases.

+Hints for maintainers of Debian packages of Python extensions
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Most of the content of this README can be found in the Debian Python policy.
+See /usr/share/doc/python/python-policy.txt.gz.
+
+Documentation Tools
+-------------------
+
+If your package ships documentation produced in the Python
+documentation format, you can generate it at build-time by
+build-depending on @PVER@-dev, and you will find the
+templates, tools and scripts in /usr/lib/@PVER@/doc/tools --
+adjust your build scripts accordingly.
+
+
+Makefile.pre.in issues
+----------------------
+
+Python comes with a `universal Unix Makefile for Python extensions' in
+/usr/lib/@PVER@/config/Makefile.pre.in (with Debian, this is included
+in the python-dev package), which is used by most Python extensions.
+
+In general, packages using the Makefile.pre.in approach can be packaged
+simply by running dh_make or by using one of debhelper's rules' templates
+(see /usr/doc/debhelper/examples/). Makefile.pre.in works fine with e.g.
+"make prefix=debian/tmp/usr install".
+
+One glitch: You may be running into the problem that Makefile.pre.in
+doesn't try to create all the directories when they don't exist. Therefore,
+you may have to create them manually before "make install". In most cases,
+the following should work:
+
+	...
+	dh_installdirs /usr/lib/@PVER@
+	$(MAKE) prefix=debian/tmp/usr install
+	...
+
+
+Byte-compilation
+----------------
+
+For speed reasons, Python internally compiles source files into a byte-code.
+To speed up subsequent imports, it tries to save the byte-code along with
+the source with an extension .pyc (resp. pyo). This will fail if the
+libraries are installed in a non-writable directory, which may be the
+case for /usr/lib/@PVER@/.
+
+Not that .pyc and .pyo files should not be relocated, since for debugging
+purposes the path of the source for is hard-coded into them.
+
+To precompile files in batches after installation, Python has a script
+compileall.py, which compiles all files in a given directory tree. The
+Debian version of compileall has been enhanced to support incremental
+compilation and to feature a ddir (destination dir) option. ddir is
+used to compile files in debian/usr/lib/python/ when they will be
+installed into /usr/lib/python/.
+
+
+Currently, there are two ways to use compileall for Debian packages. The
+first has a speed penalty, the second has a space penalty in the package.
+
+1.) Compiling and removing .pyc files in postinst/prerm:
+
+  Use dh_python(1) from the debhelper packages to add commands to byte-
+  compile on installation and to remove the byte-compiled files on removal.
+  Your package has to build-depend on: debhelper (>= 4.1.67), python.
+
+  In /usr/share/doc/@PVER@, you'll find sample.postinst and sample.prerm.
+  If you set the directory where the .py files are installed, these
+  scripts will install and remove the .pyc and .pyo files for your
+  package after unpacking resp. before removing the package.
+
+2.) Compiling the .pyc files `out of place' during installation:
+
+  As of 1.5.1, compileall.py allows you to specify a faked installation
+  directory using the "-d destdir" option, so that you can precompile
+  the files in their temporary directory
+  (e.g. debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/PACKAGE).

+  ---------------------

+
+This document contains information specific to the Debian packages of

+
+
+
+   [TODO: This document is not yet up-to-date with the packages.]
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Currently, it features those two main topics:
+
+  1. Release notes for the Debian packages:
+  2. Notes for developers using the Debian Python packages:
+
+Release notes and documentation from the upstream package are installed
+in /usr/share/doc/python/.
+
+Up-to-date information regarding Python on Debian systems is also
+available as http://www.debian.org/~flight/python/.
+
+There's a mailing list for discussion of issues related to Python on Debian
+systems: debian-python@lists.debian.org. The list is not intended for
+general Python problems, but as a forum for maintainers of Python-related
+packages and interested third parties.
+
+
+
+1. Release notes for the Debian packages:
+
+
+Results of the regression test:
+------------------------------
+
+The package does successfully run the regression tests for all included
+modules. Seven packages are skipped since they are platform-dependent and
+can't be used with Linux.
+
+
+Noteworthy changes since the 1.4 packages:
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- Threading support enabled.
+- Tkinter for Tcl/Tk 8.x.
+- New package python-zlib.
+- The dbmmodule was dropped. Use bsddb instead. gdbmmodule is provided
+  for compatibility's sake.
+- python-elisp adheres to the new emacs add-on policy; it now depends
+  on emacsen. python-elisp probably won't work correctly with emacs19.
+  Refer to /usr/doc/python-elisp/ for more information.
+- Remember that 1.5 has dropped the `ni' interface in favor of a generic
+  `packages' concept.
+- Python 1.5 regression test as additional package python-regrtest. You
+  don't need to install this package unless you don't trust the
+  maintainer ;-).
+- once again, modified upstream's compileall.py and py_compile.py.
+  Now they support compilation of optimized byte-code (.pyo) for use
+  with "python -O", removal of .pyc and .pyo files where the .py source
+  files are missing (-d) and finally the fake of a installation directory
+  when .py files have to be compiled out of place for later installation
+  in a different directory (-i destdir, used in ./debian/rules).
+- The Debian packages for python 1.4 do call 
+  /usr/lib/python1.4/compileall.py in their postrm script. Therefore
+  I had to provide a link from /usr/lib/python1.5/compileall.py, otherwise
+  the old packages won't be removed completely. THIS IS A SILLY HACK!
+
+
+
+2. Notes for developers using the Debian python packages:
+
+
+Embedding python:
+----------------
+
+The files for embedding python resp. extending the python interpreter
+are included in the python-dev package. With the configuration in the
+Debian GNU/Linux packages of python 1.5, you will want to use something
+like
+
+    -I/usr/include/python1.5                  (e.g. for config.h)
+    -L/usr/lib/python1.5/config -lpython1.5   (... -lpthread)
+                           (also for Makefile.pre.in, Setup etc.)
+
+Makefile.pre.in automatically gets that right.  Note that unlike 1.4,
+python 1.5 has only one library, libpython1.5.a.
+
+Currently, there's no shared version of libpython. Future version of
+the Debian python packages will support this.
+
+
+Python extension packages:
+-------------------------
+
+According to www.python.org/doc/essays/packages.html, extension packages
+should only install into /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ (resp.
+/usr/lib/site-python/ for packages that are definitely version independent).
+No extension package should install files directly into /usr/lib/python1.5/.
+
+But according to the FSSTND, only Debian packages are allowed to use
+/usr/lib/python1.5/. Therefore Debian Python additionally by default
+searches a second hierarchy in /usr/local/lib/. These directories take
+precedence over their equivalents in /usr/lib/.
+
+a) Locally installed Python add-ons
+
+    /usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/
+    /usr/local/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
+
+b) Python add-ons packaged for Debian
+
+    /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/
+    /usr/lib/site-python/ (version-independent modules)
+
+Note that no package must install files directly into /usr/lib/python1.5/
+or /usr/local/lib/python1.5/. Only the site-packages directory is allowed
+for third-party extensions.
+
+Use of the new `package' scheme is strongly encouraged. The `ni' interface
+is obsolete in python 1.5.
+
+Header files for extensions go into /usr/include/python1.5/.
+
+
+Installing extensions for local use only:
+----------------------------------------
+
+Most extensions use Python's Makefile.pre.in. Note that Makefile.pre.in
+by default will install files into /usr/lib/, not into /usr/local/lib/,
+which is not allowed for local extensions. You'll have to change the

+        It is incredibly hard and inconvenient to sensibly handle this in
+        applications, so let's fix this at the right level.
+      - Patch based on original proposal of Peter <C3><85>strand
+        in http://python.org/sf/1068268.
+      - Add two test cases.
+    - Change the interpreter to build and install python extensions
+      built with the python-dbg interpreter with a different name into
+      the same path (by appending `_d' to the extension name). The debug build
+      of the interpreter tries to first load a foo_d.so or foomodule_d.so
+      extension, then tries again with the normal name.
+    - When trying to import the profile and pstats modules, don't
+      exit, add a hint to the exception pointing to the python-profiler
+      package, don't exit.
+    - Keep the module version in the .egg-info name, only remove the

+    If you repackage/adapt your modules for python2.1, don't build

+    See the debian-python mailing list at http://lists.debian.org/devel.html
+    for details and the current discussion and a draft for a debian-python
+    policy (August to October 2001).

+    provides the default python version.
+
+  * Regenerate control file to fix build dependencies (closes: #116190).
+  * Remove alternative for /usr/bin/{python,pydoc}.

+A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
+==========================
+
+Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
+Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands
+as a successor of a language called ABC.  Guido remains Python's
+principal author, although it includes many contributions from others.
+
+In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for
+National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us)
+in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the
+software.
+
+In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to
+BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team.  In October of the same
+year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope
+Corporation, see http://www.zope.com).  In 2001, the Python Software
+Foundation (PSF, see http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a
+non-profit organization created specifically to own Python-related
+Intellectual Property.  Zope Corporation is a sponsoring member of
+the PSF.
+
+All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
+the Open Source Definition).  Historically, most, but not all, Python
+releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes
+the various releases.

+(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under
+    the GPL.  All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute
+    a modified version without making your changes open source.  The
+    GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
+    other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
+
+(2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,
+    because its license has a choice of law clause.  According to
+    CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1
+    is "not incompatible" with the GPL.
+
+Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
+direction to make these releases possible.

+Licenses for Software linked to
+===============================
+
+Note that the choice of GPL compatibility outlined above doesn't extend
+to modules linked to particular libraries, since they change the
+effective License of the module binary.
+
+
+GNU Readline
+------------
+
+The 'readline' module makes use of GNU Readline.
+
+      The GNU Readline Library is free software; you can redistribute it
+      and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
+      published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at
+      your option) any later version.
+
+      On Debian systems, you can find the complete statement in
+      /usr/share/doc/readline-common/copyright'. A copy of the GNU General
+      Public License is available in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.
+
+
+OpenSSL
+-------
+
+The '_ssl' module makes use of OpenSSL.
+
+      The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual license, i.e. both the
+      conditions of the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license
+      apply to the toolkit. Actually both licenses are BSD-style Open
+      Source licenses. Note that both licenses are incompatible with
+      the GPL.
+
+      On Debian systems, you can find the complete license text in
+      /usr/share/doc/openssl/copyright'.

+.TH IDLE 1 "21 September 2004"
+.SH NAME
+\fBIDLE\fP \- An Integrated DeveLopment Environment for Python
+.SH SYNTAX
+.B idle [ \fI-dins\fP ] [ \fI-t title\fP ] [ \fIfile\fP ...]
+.PP
+.B idle [ \fI-dins\fP ] [ \fI-t title\fP ] ( \fI-c cmd\fP | \fI-r file\fP ) [ \fIarg\fP ...]
+.PP
+.B idle [ \fI-dins\fP ] [ \fI-t title\fP ] - [ \fIarg\fP ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.BR idle
+command.
+This manual page was written for Debian
+because the original program does not have a manual page.
+For more information, refer to IDLE's help menu.
+.PP
+.B IDLE
+is an Integrated DeveLopment Environment for Python. IDLE is based on
+Tkinter, Python's bindings to the Tk widget set. Features are 100% pure
+Python, multi-windows with multiple undo and Python colorizing, a Python
+shell window subclass, a debugger. IDLE is cross-platform, i.e. it works
+on all platforms where Tk is installed.
+.LP
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-h
+.PD
+Print this help message and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-n
+.PD
+Run IDLE without a subprocess (see Help/IDLE Help for details).
+.PP
+The following options will override the IDLE 'settings' configuration:
+.TP
+.B \-e
+.PD
+Open an edit window.
+.TP
+.B \-i
+.PD
+Open a shell window.
+.PP
+The following options imply -i and will open a shell:
+.TP
+.B \-c cmd
+.PD
+Run the command in a shell, or
+.TP
+.B \-r file
+.PD
+Run script from file.
+.PP
+.TP
+.B \-d
+.PD
+Enable the debugger.
+.TP
+.B \-s
+.PD
+Run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else.
+.TP
+.B \-t title
+.PD
+Set title of shell window.
+.PP
+A default edit window will be bypassed when -c, -r, or - are used.
+.PP
+[arg]* and [file]* are passed to the command (-c) or script (-r) in sys.argv[1:].
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+idle
+.PD
+Open an edit window or shell depending on IDLE's configuration.
+.TP
+idle foo.py foobar.py
+.PD
+Edit the files, also open a shell if configured to start with shell.
+.TP
+idle -est "Baz" foo.py
+.PD
+Run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP, edit foo.py, and open a shell
+window with the title "Baz".
+.TP
+idle -c "import sys; print sys.argv" "foo"
+.PD
+Open a shell window and run the command, passing "-c" in sys.argv[0]
+and "foo" in sys.argv[1].
+.TP
+idle -d -s -r foo.py "Hello World"
+.PD
+Open a shell window, run a startup script, enable the debugger, and
+run foo.py, passing "foo.py" in sys.argv[0] and "Hello World" in
+sys.argv[1].
+.TP
+echo "import sys; print sys.argv" | idle - "foobar"
+.PD
+Open a shell window, run the script piped in, passing '' in sys.argv[0]
+and "foobar" in sys.argv[1].
+.SH SEE ALSO
+python(1).

+.TH PYGETTEXT 1 "" "pygettext 1.4"
+.SH NAME
+pygettext \- Python equivalent of xgettext(1)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pygettext
+[\fIOPTIONS\fR] \fIINPUTFILE \fR...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+pygettext is deprecated. The current version of xgettext supports
+many languages, including Python.
+
+pygettext uses Python's standard tokenize module to scan Python
+source code, generating .pot files identical to what GNU xgettext generates
+for C and C++ code.  From there, the standard GNU tools can be used.
+.PP
+pygettext searches only for _() by default, even though GNU xgettext
+recognizes the following keywords: gettext, dgettext, dcgettext,
+and gettext_noop. See the \fB\-k\fR/\fB\--keyword\fR flag below for how to
+augment this.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-extract\-all\fR
+Extract all strings.
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-default\-domain\fR=\fINAME\fR
+Rename the default output file from messages.pot to name.pot.
+.TP
+\fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-escape\fR
+Replace non-ASCII characters with octal escape sequences.
+.TP
+\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-docstrings\fR
+Extract module, class, method, and function docstrings.
+These do not need to be wrapped in _() markers, and in fact cannot
+be for Python to consider them docstrings. (See also the \fB\-X\fR option).
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
+Print this help message and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-keyword\fR=\fIWORD\fR
+Keywords to look for in addition to the default set, which are: _
+.IP
+You can have multiple \fB\-k\fR flags on the command line.
+.TP
+\fB\-K\fR, \fB\-\-no\-default\-keywords\fR
+Disable the default set of keywords (see above).
+Any keywords explicitly added with the \fB\-k\fR/\fB\--keyword\fR option
+are still recognized.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-no\-location\fR
+Do not write filename/lineno location comments.
+.TP
+\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-add\-location\fR
+Write filename/lineno location comments indicating where each
+extracted string is found in the source.  These lines appear before
+each msgid.  The style of comments is controlled by the
+\fB\-S\fR/\fB\--style\fR option.  This is the default.
+.TP
+\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fIFILENAME\fR
+Rename the default output file from messages.pot to FILENAME.
+If FILENAME is `-' then the output is sent to standard out.
+.TP
+\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-output\-dir\fR=\fIDIR\fR
+Output files will be placed in directory DIR.
+.TP
+\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-style\fR=\fISTYLENAME\fR
+Specify which style to use for location comments.
+Two styles are supported:
+.RS
+.IP \(bu 4
+Solaris	# File: filename, line: line-number
+.IP \(bu 4
+GNU		#: filename:line
+.RE
+.IP
+The style name is case insensitive.
+GNU style is the default.
+.TP
+\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
+Print the names of the files being processed.
+.TP
+\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+Print the version of pygettext and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-width\fR=\fICOLUMNS\fR
+Set width of output to columns.
+.TP
+\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-exclude\-file\fR=\fIFILENAME\fR
+Specify a file that contains a list of strings that are not be
+extracted from the input files.  Each string to be excluded must
+appear on a line by itself in the file.
+.TP
+\fB\-X\fR, \fB\-\-no\-docstrings\fR=\fIFILENAME\fR
+Specify a file that contains a list of files (one per line) that
+should not have their docstrings extracted.  This is only useful in
+conjunction with the \fB\-D\fR option above.
+.PP
+If `INPUTFILE' is -, standard input is read.
+.SH BUGS
+pygettext attempts to be option and feature compatible with GNU xgettext
+where ever possible.  However some options are still missing or are not fully
+implemented.  Also, xgettext's use of command line switches with option
+arguments is broken, and in these cases, pygettext just defines additional
+switches.
+.SH AUTHOR
+pygettext is written by Barry Warsaw <barry@zope.com>.
+.PP
+Joonas Paalasmaa <joonas.paalasmaa@iki.fi> put this manual page together
+based on "pygettext --help".

+the interpreter.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-cflags"
+print the C compiler flags.
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-ldflags"
+print the flags that should be passed to the linker.
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-includes"
+similar to \fI\-\-cflags\fP but only with \-I options (path to python header files).
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-libs"
+similar to \fI\-\-ldflags\fP but only with \-l options (used libraries).
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-prefix"
+prints the prefix (base directory) under which python can be found.
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-exec\-prefix"
+print the prefix used for executable program directories (such as bin, sbin, etc).
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-extension\-suffix"
+print suffix used for extension modules (including the _d modified for debug builds).
+.TP
+.BI "\-\-configdir"
+prints the path to the configuration directory under which the Makefile, etc. can be found).
