How do I parse a listing of files to get just the filenames in python?
237,699
<p>So lets say I'm using Python's <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-ftplib.html" rel="nofollow">ftplib</a> to retrieve a list of log files from an FTP server. How would I parse that list of files to get just the file names (the last column) inside a list? See the link above for example output.</p>

<p>Since every filename in the output starts at the same column, all you have to do is get the position of the dot on the first line:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>drwxrwsr-x 5 ftp-usr pdmaint 1536 Mar 20 09:48 .</code></p> </blockquote> <p>Then slice the filename out of the other lines using the position of tha...

Single Table Inheritance in Django

<p>Is there explicit support for Single Table Inheritance in Django? Last I heard, the feature was still under development and debate. </p> <p>Are there libraries/hacks I can use in the meantime to capture the basic behavior?
