Python Module Source

[eoae]

I'm looking for Python's scripts for its modules. Particularly string.find() and string.count().
Where can I find it? Is the script in the Python folder? I'm using Python 2.5, in Windows.

Purpose is, I want write a program that counts the number of matches in the given string. similar to string.count(), using string.find() to match. I've been cracking my head over it, and can't seem to find a solution, so i want to look at their code to learn something. Any enlightenment is appreciated.

For me its C:/python<ver>/Lib/string.py

At least for me, /usr/lib64/python2.6/string.py doesn't contain the actual logic for finding a string. Anyway, I just took a few minutes and threw together a working function to find all occurrences of a string and append them to a list. Its really quite simple. You just have to loop (while with counters, not for) through each letter, do some comparisons, and add to the list when you find the whole string. It only took 15 code lines to achieve.

hey thanks for your replies.

@shaqywacky: I can't find any scripts in string.py, only a function call. I think the function is already integrated into the binary. I'm just guessing, I have no idea.

@faazshift: That's what I'm trying to do. Except that my while loop with counter doesn't end/stuck at zero. Something is wrong with the counter, that's why I want to compare my codes to Python's so that I can see where I gone wrong.

Do you want to post your current code for users to look over and maybe make some suggestions on it?
