[...] Finally getting around to implementing linkback functionality for my links…for links in new posts, I’ll test pingback, stop there if it works, and try trackback if pingback isn’t enabled. Thanks to Teli Adlam for a very clear tutorial on linkback (esp. ettiquette), and an URL to test against without being considered evil. Also to Mathieu Fenniak and Matt Croydon for the pingback and trackback libraries I’m using, respectively. [...]

Koblaid – most PDF read errors will throw an exception, pyPdf.utils.PdfReadError.

Out of topic:
Is there a way to catch the exception if the file that is loaded is no pdf?

Something like this:

try:
pdfFile = pyPdf.PdfFileReader(file(path, “rb”))
except IOError,e:
print ‘File wasn\’t opened’
except PdfError,e:
print ‘File is no supported pdf’

Your 2 first bytes issues are here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BytesStr
Someone one could also setup a wiki page for documenting early porting experiences like yours and this ones:

Now I’m curious, Mathieu – both technically and criminologically. Did it work? And did you find out what was going on with the plants?

[...] I haven’t tried it yet, but assuming that I can make easy use ofpg8000, a PostgreSQL that throws out c-based bindings and speaking postgresql-ish in native python, then it’s an example of the anti-thesis of “dragon tea”. It doesn’t appear to require hunting down obscure dependencies, it doesn’t require that you build ten other equally obscure things before you can use it, and if it delivers what it promises it will make developer’s lives much easier.
