# # Aren't URLs tedius? Have you ever wished you could just say the # name of a web page, and get right to it? Here's something you can # use to jump to any page in the Python Library Reference, by name, # or any page of this wiki. # # # Make a special bookmark in Firefox to do this: # # 1. Under "Bookmarks," pick "Manage Bookmarks" # # 2. Create a new bookmark, call it "Python Reference," # and set the Location to: # # "http://localnames.taoriver.net/pythonref/%s" # # Set the keyword to "python". # # 3. Put the bookmark in the "Quick Searches" folder. # # # Now, at the address bar, you can just type something like: # # python cgi # # ...and you'll be at the Python Reference CGI page. # # Or type something like: # # python FrontPage # # ...and you'll be at the front page of the wiki. # # Take care! # # # (If you're curious how this works, it's all just a bunch # of webservices and browser redirection.) # # ( You can pull down the namespace binding with the following # code, if you like, as well: # # import xmlrpclib # nameserver = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy( "http://services.taoriver.net:9089/" ) # nameserver.parse_description( "http://wrap.localnames.taoriver.net/spaces/pythoninfo/" ) # # You'll get back a big fat dictionary of name-URL bindings. # See http://services.taoriver.net:9089/ for other functionality available to you. ) #
