List Advisory

TriZPUGlians:

This is to inform you that soon you will be subscribed to our new 
python.org email list.

Python.net has been dying a slow painful death for some time now and 
there has been work behind the scenes to get our list moved to 
python.org for many months. That time has now come.

When you are subscribed to the new list, you will be getting a welcome 
message. It will describe the list purposes, policies, email addresses, 
and URLs.

Your email address subscription is the only thing that will carry over 
to the new list. That means you will need to set yourself a new email 
list password. There will be a description in your subscribe email about 
how to do that.

Also, if you receive the list via daily digest or have your subscription 
set to "no email," you will need to reset that as well *after* setting a 
new password. Of course, if your subscription is set to "no email," then 
you won't see this message either. :)

There are three of you who are "private" members of this list. That is, 
we don't know who you are because you chose to keep your subscriptions 
"private" from the other list of members. So, I guess those three of you 
are own your own to find a way to resubscribe. I bet the front page of 
http://trizpug.org might hold a clue how to do that. :)

I would like to ask that you send no more emails to

scope in nested function calls


I've just moved a piece of code out of a long function into another (lower 
nested) function and I'd like the lower nested function to still access (write 
to) variables in the calling function. I'm doing this for readability and so 
that I can test a couple of different versions of the lower nested function by 
commenting out calls in the calling function.

Here's an example piece of code
-------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/python

def foo():
         print "foo: bar_value  %d" %bar_value

def bar():
         bar_value=1
         print "bar: bar_value  %d" %bar_value
         foo()

#main()
bar()

---------

the output is

# ./test_scope.py
bar: bar_value  1
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./test_scope.py", line 12, in ?

Quick IRC Cheat Sheet

Hi All,
There's been some indication from various folks that ya'll don't know IRC as well as you should. :)

So, here's a very brief crash-course in IRC commands and what they do. I'm pulling this mostly from memory, I'm sure there's some docs on freenode or elsewhere, and others that are more l33t than me that will fill in any gaps (AFAIK, most of the other commands deal with channel management):

Command
What it does
/me is hungry
* yourusername is hungry
shows up in the channel
/nick newnick
change your username to newnick
/away message
set yourself as away (most multi-clients like gaim do this for you)
/msg somebody
send a private message to the user named 'somebody'. In Gaim, this comes up like any other instant message.
/query somebody
start a private chat with a user named 'somebody' most clients will open a new window for this
/whois somebody
get basic info on somebody, also lets you know if they're online
/join #channel
join the #channel chat room
/quit message
leave the server with a cleaver message
/help command
get help (at least on freenode)! if you specify command, it will give you help on that command. If not, it will list all available commands.

HTH!

[Fwd: [Usergroups] World Plone Day]

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [Usergroups] World Plone Day
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:24:22 -0300
From: Roberto Allende <rover@...>
To: usergroups@...

Hello

Members of the Plone evangelism mailing list are working to organize a
World Plone Day.

The idea is to invite to the members of the Plone community and User
Groups to give (at least) an introductory talk in their community, and
do the same all over the world.

The suggested date is november 7th.

Right now we're looking for ploners interested to join the initiative,
so we're asking to add their city in
http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone-marketing/world-plone-day

We believe that's a very simple idea and it could get a huge impact in
Plone promotion.

If you need support to organize the talks or want to get deeply involved
on the initiative, feel free to join the evangelism group:
http://www.nabble.com/Evangelism-f24086.html

Also, if you've any suggestion or comment don't hesitate to write us!.

Kind Regards
r0ver
