Help with Python Code Whitespace
Hello All,

I have some python code that pulls together titles and displays them on web pages.

Here is the section of code I am struggling with:

#string to grab title

titlePattern =r'''\s*(\([^\)]+\))?(?P<title>.*)'''

#returns the title part of the subject line

def getTitle (self,data):

return re.search (

PartParser.titlepattern,

self.getSubject (data),

re.X

).group ("title)


This code will print out a title with whitespace in the midde od the title

ie: This is a (whitespace here, spaces or tabs) great day.

I am trying to use join and split to make the tile read

ie: This is a great day.

I believe I can remove the whitespace with

newtitlePattern = ' '.join(titlePattern(1).split())

and

PartParser.newtitlePattern

but I an not sure where to put this in the code.

Please help

lp-shell

lp-shell(1)						      General Commands Manual						       lp-shell(1)

NAME

       lp-shell - Open an interactive launchpadlib shell.

SYNOPSIS

       lp-shell [-a] [-cPROGRAM] [--python] [--ipython] [service] [LP API version]

DESCRIPTION

       lp-shell opens an interactive Python shell with a launchpadlib.Launchpad object "lp" which is ready for use.

       It  authenticates against Launchpad with the consumer name "udt-lp-shell". When using lp-shell with the -a option it will use the anonymous
       login from launchpadlib.Launchpad.

       By default lp-shell connects to the "production" Launchpad service using the "1.0" LP API version.

       If you want to connect to another Launchpad service, call lp-shell with the service name as the second argument. lp-shell supports all ser-
       vices known by launchpadlib Python module.  Currently known are (list can be incomplete or outdated): "production", "staging", "dogfood".

       A  different  LP  API version can be selected by passing the API version to use as the third argument. Current supported are: "beta", "1.0"
       and "devel".

OPTIONS

       -a     Login anonymously into Launchpad.

       -c PROGRAM
	      Don't enter a shell but only run the specified Python program and exit.

       --ipython
	      Use an ipython shell if available (default).

       --python
	      Use a regular python shell.
