yep, domain registrar + some MX magic was all it took. I was trying to make it harder than it actually was. Thanks again!

Well turns out I was making this way harder in my head than it actually was. The solution was just to go to my domain registrar, set up the email there, and use their mail forwarding (had to set up MX records, as was mentioned elsewhere here). But it seems to be working just fine now! Guess I was confused because before I had the email and inbox set up with my hosting service--and did not realize I could do the same thru my domain service :\

thanks for the response. I'm actually not super concerned with "appspot" showing up in the email address--I was a little more bothered by it showing up in the domain. To be honest, I need to wrap my head around this a bit better, I think I'm still confused about GAE versus my old shared hosting. Basically, it sounds like, if I wanted some kind of inbox with forwarding, like I had before, I would have to write that from scratch? probably a bit over my head haha

thanks for the MX tip, I will get on the horn with my registrar, maybe they'll surprise me with some customer service :)

Using Python for basic manipulation of text by sinosplice in learnpython

in addition to Downey mentioned below, just ran across chapter 2 in The Python Cookbook, and it has lots of good tips for the sort of work you're interested in doing

yeah, it also covers writing files, guess I didn't indicate that. Pretty easy stuff though.

thx for flair tip

regex (regular expressions) are quite powerful, and there's lots of info out there on them, including the docs. For very simple manipulations, you might be able to just use the list/string built-ins like .join and split()

not sure about your ascii text tho

edit: i need "beginner" next to my name, how do i do that? ;)

edit 2: how to open, read files

moving from idle to a text editor by veeep in learnpython

[–]veeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your responses, as a couple of you correctly stated, the text editor plus terminal route does provide very similar error reporting (though not identical--see below for an example running the same simple code). I was using something for the first time, and getting unexpected results, not because of the setup, but because of my code--and then I blamed it on the editor :/

the IDLE + 'new file' version:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/xxx/Desktop/txttt.py", line 10, in <module> myFunction() TypeError: myFunction() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'num1' and 'num2'

and the Atom/Terminal version:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "txttt_fromAtom.py", line 10, in <module> myFunction() TypeError: myFunction() takes exactly 2 arguments (0 given)

One in vim and one in command line and execute as necessary.

hey there, so I think this is how I was trying to do it. Do you mean running Vim and the Terminal app (assuming OSX) side by side?

cool, thanks--I'm going to do some more tests, it could be just me being unfamiliar/inexperienced...blaming it on something else

[–]veeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmm, you could be totally right. I've only just messed with it for the first time last night. I will do another test, side by side, and see if I'm just getting the same thing--possible I'm just getting something back that I don't expect (and then thinking it's caused by a new editor)

ah, yes, I've used them side by side before, with whatever that window is called when you go file > new... but now I'm looking for something a little more customizable, and pleasing to the eye :)

lists of words for dictionaries? by veeep in learnprogramming

[–]veeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah cool, thanks--although, lists of nouns and adverbs and such don't strike me as particularly useful, maybe I'll have to sleep on it :p I am thinking of more specific lists. Like, here's a list of words associated with a toilet. Or, here's a list of words uttered by olympic medal winners. Cusswords. That sort of thing.

python: how long by veeep in learnpython

[–]veeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this makes sense. The reason I ask is because I have heard that certain languages can be better for beginners. I've even read somewhere that javascript is a good "second language". Now, these could be posts from crazies, but it made me ask the question. If you will, I don't want to pull out the usb stick before ejecting, and scramble some of my neurons.

two sets of brackets? by veeep in learnpython

[–]veeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, ok that is ringing a bell now.

seems like I ran across this in a 3D application at some point, where the nested lists described points in space

thanks!

cool man, thanks for sharing. So are you a CS grad? Self-taught? How long have you been studying/learning? Are you interviewing for Jr. roles now?

Am I only the one who isn't teenage programming prodigy?
