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

isympy

isympy(1)																 isympy(1)

NAME

       isympy - interactive shell for SymPy

SYNOPSIS

       isympy [-c | --console]
       isympy [ {-h | --help} | {-v | --version} ]

DESCRIPTION

       isympy  is  a  Python shell for SymPy. It is just a normal python shell (ipython shell if you have the ipython package installed) that exe-
       cutes the following commands so that you don't have to:

       >>> from __future__ import division
       >>> from sympy import *
       >>> x, y, z = symbols("xyz")
       >>> k, m, n = symbols("kmn", integer=True)

       So starting isympy is equivalent to starting python (or ipython) and executing the above commands by hand. It  is  intended  for  easy  and
       quick  experimentation  with  SymPy. For more complicated programs, it is recommended to write a script and import things explicitly (using
       the "from sympy import sin, log, Symbol, ..." idiom).

OPTIONS

       -c shell, --console=shell
	      Use the specified shell (python or ipython) as console backend instead of the default one (ipython if present or python otherwise).

	      Example: isympy -c python

FILES

       ${HOME}/.sympy-history
	      Saves the history of commands when using the python shell as backend.

BUGS

       The upstreams BTS can be found at <http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/list> Please report all bugs that you find  in	there,	this  will
       help improve the overall quality of SymPy.
