Re: open source linux -> windows database connectivity?

The product is called "mxODBC Connect" and allows connecting from
Python (running on pretty much any major platform) to a Windows
or Linux server running the database:

Note: The client part of this product is free. You only need to
get a license for the server part.

And thats what my sarcasm was alluding to. Steven's argument is moot
because it will blow up either way due to the fact that "value" is non-
existent! Every argument that has been brought forth about how this
will break is just False and basically a bunch of FUD! It just garbage

IIRC the sys and proc virtual file system requires new line at the end
of a modifier. At least echo appends \n unless it's told otherwise.

open source linux -> windows database connectivity?

2009-11-12T22:04:40Z

I am trying to read a Pervasive database on a Windows machine from a
Python script on a Linux machine.
I understand that this can be done with a proprietary ODBC-to-ODBC
bridge called mxODBC or Easysoft OOB.
Is there anyway to do this with existing free/ open source tools?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Re: Python & Go

Same here. Go syntax is much more like C/Java than Python.
Sematically, I don't see much that's similar either. Go is
statically typed. Go has no inheritence. Go has no exceptions
( no practical error handling AFAICT). Despite all the people
who keep saying it's similar to Python, I don't really see what

JSR223 Access Python class instances through Java

2009-11-12T21:25:41Z

I am trying to access (from Java) a python class that extends a Java
interface. The following program runs fine in the jython console (I
can instantiate Tada, call t.getName() and everything prints
correctly.) However, if I invoke test1() from Java using JSR223, the
returned object is inaccessible (proxy type) and none of the "in

Congratulations, you just reinvented one of the most infamous source of
bugs in C, C++, Java, PHP, javascript and quite a few other languages.
Believe it or not, but not allowing this in Python was a very deliberate
design choice.
Now whether it was a good choice is another troll^Mtopic !-)

Interfaces work a little bit like duck typing. You may call that
python-style. And it has go-routines, which are a bit similar to
generators (although I haven't look at them in detail). There is no

Re: python with echo

You can set environment variables from within Python using os.putenv:
>>> import os
>>> os.putenv('POWER', '14')
>>> return_value = os.system('echo $POWER')
14
>>> return_value
0
Keep in mind that putenv() only affects processes started by Python
after you call putenv. It does not, for example, affect the shell
