python 2.6 py2exe wx app fails
I'm trying to move a wxPython application forward to 2.6, but although the app runs fine in 2.6 when run directly when I build the app into an exe using py2exe I get this popup message "application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)" when I try to run the built exe.

Reading a binary file and wrtiting the bytes verbatim ?in an utf-8 file
Thanks, I'll try this. I have no idea how you'd go about reading the contents of such a file in a sensible way. The purpose is to embed PNG pictures in an RTF file that will be read by OpenOffice. It seems that OpenOffice reads RTF in 8-bit, so it should be ok. The RTF is produced from a TeX source file... 23 Apr 2010 20:48

[Python3] Reading a binary file and wrtiting the bytes verbatim in an utf-8 file
Hello. I have to read the contents of a binary file (a PNG file exactly), and dump it into an RTF file. The RTF-file has been opened with codecs.open in utf-8 mode. As I expected, the utf-8 decoder chokes on some combinations of bits; how can I tell python to dump the bytes as they are, without interpreting... 23 Apr 2010 20:48

a.extend(b) better than a+=b ?
Suppose a and b are lists. What is more efficient in order to extend the list a by appending all the items in the list b ? I imagine a.extend(b)to be more efficient for only appendinding the items from b while a+=b creates a copy of a before appending, right ? ... 23 Apr 2010 20:48
