python-2.5

Can I use clean Python 3 super() syntax in Python 2.5.6? Maybe with some kind of __future__ import? donkopotamus You cannot use a bare super() call that contains no type/class. Nor can you implement a replacement for it that will work. Python 3.x contains special support to enable bare super() calls (it places a __class__ cell variable in all functions defined within a class - see PEP 3135 Update As of Python 2.6+, bare super() calls can be used via the future Python package. See posita's answer for an explanation. posita I realize this question is old, and the selected answer may have been

I know this is easily possible in python 2.6. But what is the easiest way to do this in Python 2.5? x = "This is my string" b = to_bytes(x) # I could do this easily in 2.7 using bin/ord 3+ could use b"my string" print b Any suggestions? I want to take the x and turn it into 00100010010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000001101101011110010010000001110011011101000111001001101001011011100110011100100010 This one-line works: >>> ''.join(['%08d'%int(bin(ord(i))[2:]) for i in 'This is my string'])

I have a a user-inputted polynomial and I only want to use it if it only has characters in the string 1234567890^-+x . How can I check if it does or not without using external packages? I only want to use built-in Python 2.5 functions. I am writing a program that runs on any Mac without needing external packages. Here are some odd ;-) ways to do it: good = set('1234567890^-+x') if set(input_string) <= good: # it's good else: # it's bad or if input_string.strip('1234567890^-+x'): # it's bad! else: # it's good Use a regular expression: import re if re.match('^[-0-9^+x]*$', text): # Valid input

I am running pygame (for Python) on Windows. I have some .pyo files and some .pyd files. I have another script for somewhere else that is trying to import one of the .pyd files as a module but I keep getting the error that no such module exists. Do .pyo files have issues importing .pyd files as modules? What can I do to solve this issue? It's typically because of one or more of the following: The .pyd is not in your current path (you said it was in the same folder so that should not be the problem) A DLL the .pyd depends on is not in your current path. Locate the missing DLL's using depends

I am stuck with a fairly complex Python module that does not return useful error codes (it actually fails disturbingly silently). However, the underlying C library it calls sets errno. Normally errno comes in over OSError attributes, but since I don't have an exception, I can't get at it. Using ctypes, libc.errno doesn't work because errno is a macro in GNU libc. Python 2.6 has some affordances but Debian still uses Python 2.5. Inserting a C module into my pure Python program just to read errno disgusts me. Is there some way to access errno? A Linux-only solution is fine, since the library
