How do you set multiple columns, would you just use commas on the SET statement ?

Hello Mike,

I've re-subscribed to your blog after deciding to finally settle on Python as my implementation language, but it's interesting that you're working on the same book I'll do. :-)

I'm not sure if wxWidgets-3.0 will be released ever, so I gave up on wx(python) and decided to use Qt, but still not sure whether PyQt or PySide (we'll do open-source project, so license is not the issue).

In any case, nice to be here again, this time learning from you about Python GUI programming using Qt. ;)

Python preview brochure looks really worthy. I read the preview, it's for non-technical peoples like a manager. Is it true ??

This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. I have tried searching for a beginners course in pythos. This helps a lot. Thanks a lot Mike

I actually copy it to then end of the system variable string. Make sure you're separating it from the previous one with a semi-colon

Re: Python 101 – Intro to XML Parsing with ElementTree

Mike Driscoll — Wed, 01 May 2013 10:58:41 -0000

I suppose I was just being pedantic...and I was trying to minimize my line widths to prevent my readers from having to scroll my code examples. In this case, it probably didn't help much though.

Re: Python 101 – Intro to XML Parsing with ElementTree

According to Effbot, cElementTree should be 15-20 times faster: http://effbot.org/zone/celemen.... Also according to this site, it's also more memory efficient: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2...

Can I as why you use this style,

appointments = root.getchildren()
for appointment in appointments:
appt_children = appointment.getchildren()
for appt_child in appt_children:

rather than this style ?

for appointment in root.getchildren():
for appt_child in appointment.getchildren():

Re: Python 101 – Intro to XML Parsing with ElementTree

Sure this isn't an exhaustive test, but I ran a test of cElementTree vs just Elementtree on some code I wrote a few months ago to parse QuantumEspresso output files.

I found that for the version with elementtree it took 50.006s to parse and process roughly 5 GB worth of data.
With cElementTree it took 1minute and 4.422 seconds.

Do you have any thoughts as to why this difference may have shown up in a way that is contradictory to your claims?

I would have believed that the cElementTree would be faster aswell. I wonder if this would be an edge case.

My program largely finds and splits text elements and reoutputs them into a flat text format readable by other programs. Maybe the difference is in the search feature or in the text feature of elementtree

Such an interesting post of multiple widget on same slot. I am so surprised about it because i wasn't knew it.

Oh...you know, I didn't think that looked right, but Firefox's spell check didn't catch it yesterday. I fixed the post, although not the downloadable code. Thanks!

Mike, thanks for the review, and glad you like it! The fact that it's a beginners' course helped guide the decisions on what to include in terms of GUI dev options, installation methods, etc, but I'm hoping to update the course over the next couple weeks to cover even more :)
