Hello

This mail is slightly off-topic but sent to this list as there are
people I know who were interested in the Peloton project (an open
version of the kind of system discussed in my 'Twisted Movies' talk at
PyCon UK 2007) whose details I have been careless enough to loose.

Below is a link to a mail out on the twisted mailing list about Peloton.
 The project site is http://www.peloton-grid.net

I hope this reaches a few more people who I was unable to contact
previously!

Hi All,

We're looking for some Python supremos to help us with our product.

We're developing a product based on semantic analysis, search and social 
networking. Looking ideally for two developers, with decent experience 
in using Python in the past few years, including desktop development. In 
addition, the GUI is being developed in wx.

We're based in Shoreditch. Are well backed in terms of funding. And are 
working with some of the leading people in our industry.

Salary is dependant upon experience and we're looking for someone to 
start as soon as possible.

Would love to hear from you, if you're interested.

Yours,

Python is a case-sensitive language. You can' say "for fileName in..."
in one line and then refer to "filename" in the next.

Even apart from the other problems you're going to have when you
realise that file is a list (and that you're shadowing a builtin name).

Ooops. You *can't* say "for fileName in..." in one line
and "filename" in the next.

I'm not sure this is the right place for your question, but check how you
capitalised "filename" - in one case you used "fileName" and then called
"print filename" - because it is all lowercase this variable is undefined,
can't be printed, and you get an error.  You would probably have better luck
posting this kind of question on a python support forum (e.g.
http://bytes.com).

Variables are case sensitive - so fileName and filename are not the  
same thing.

Whatever you are trying to do here, you might want to try doing purely
in Python instead of mixing in shell. Doing it all in Python will make
your script more likely to work cross-platform.

Message-ID: <678720.43042.qm@web51805.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hello,

I'm trying to write a code to automate logging into a website.I have chosen the forum 'www.tek-tips.com' as an example and tried this script on it....But it doesnt seem to work...What am i missing here..plz help



Code:import urllib2

theurl = 'www.tek-tips.com'
protocol = 'http://'
username = 'johnny'
password = 'yesyes'


passman = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
# this creates a password manager
passman.add_password(None, theurl, username, password)
# because we have put None at the start it will always
# use this username/password combination for  urls
# for which `theurl` is a super-url

authhandler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passman)
# create the AuthHandler

opener = urllib2.build_opener(authhandler)

urllib2.install_opener(opener)
# All calls to urllib2.urlopen will now use our handler
# Make sure not to include the protocol in with the URL, or
# HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm will be very confused.
# You must (of course) use it when fetching the page though.

pagehandle = urllib2.urlopen(protocol + theurl)
# authentication is now handled automatically for us
the_page=pagehandle.read()
print the_page

You'll get more help by posting to the main Python
groups[1]. But you're very unlikely to get helpful
responses on any group unless you say something
more than "it doesn't seem to work". What doesn't
work? Is there a syntax error? Does it hang? Is
there a traceback? If so: dump it into the email.
Does it crash your system?

You should provide the Holy Trinity of bug reports (in this case, a bug in 
your own code):

  - What you did (check)
  - What happened (missing)
  - What you expected to happen (missing)

Whenever you think the answer to one of these questions is obvious, you're 
probably wrong.

Message-ID: <g69oli$inq$1@ger.gmane.org>

Hi,

We're looking for a python developer to join our team and work on large 
open-source web projects for leading clients.

We are a fast-growing web development company, specialising in usable 
and accessible open-source web solutions for the not-for-profit and 
public sector.

Requirements:
  + learn new skills and technologies quickly;
  + enjoy the challenge of analysing and solving complex problems;
  + knowledge of website production, including SQL and HTML/CSS/JS;
  + familiarity with linux/shell/version control etc.

Ideally, you will have some experience of web development and 
production, and be able to demonstrate projects that you have worked on 
(not necessarily in python).  Deep knowledge and experience of python is 
not a must, but an interest and aptitude to learn is key. 
Knowledge/experience of Zope or Plone is also a bonus.

This is a full-time position; please feel free to contact me if you 
require any further information.

Miles

posable to work from home?
