I'm looking for up-to-date documentation and tutorials on creating Python bindings for gobjects. Everything I can find on the web is either incomplete or out of date.
Hi,
I need a memory efficient int-int dict in Python that would support the following operations in O(log n) time:
d[k] = v # replace if present
v = d[k] # None or a negative number if not present
I need to hold ~250M pairs, so it really has to be tight.
Do you happen to know a suitable implementation (Python 2.7)?
EDIT Removed impossible requirement and other nonsense. Thanks, Craig and Kylotan!
To rephrase. Here's a trivial int-int dictionary with 1M pairs:
>>> import random, sys
>>> from guppy import hpy
>>> h = hpy()
>>> h.setrelheap()
>>> d = {}
>>> for _ in xrange(1000000):
... d[random.randint(0, sys.maxint)] = random.randint(0, sys.maxint)
...
>>> h.heap()
Partition of a set of 1999530 objects. Total size = 49161112 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Kind (class / dict of class)
0 1 0 25165960 51 25165960 51 dict (no owner)
1 1999521 100 23994252 49 49160212 100 int
On average, a pair of integers uses 49 bytes.
Here's an array of 2M integers:
>>> import array, random, sys
>>> from guppy import hpy
>>> h = hpy()
>>> h.setrelheap()
>>> a = array.array('i')
>>> for _ in xrange(2000000):
... a.append(random.randint(0, sys.maxint))
...
>>> h.heap()
Partition of a set of 14 objects. Total size = 8001108 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Kind (class / dict of class)
0 1 7 8000028 100 8000028 100 array.array
On average, a pair of integers uses 8 bytes.
I accept that 8 bytes/pair in a dictionary is rather hard to achieve in general. Rephrased question: is there a memory-efficient implementation of int-int dictionary that uses considerably less than 49 bytes/pair?
I'm using simple code:
import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.mysite.com/getfile/4355")
output = open('myfile.zip','wb')
output.write(response.read())
output.close()
The web-server is IIS + ASP.NET MVC 4
It returns FileResult wrapping a zip-file with "application/octet-stream" content-type.
The problem is that downloaded zip file is broken - only 4.1kB size, where it must be 24kB. When I type the url adress in web-browser directly - it downloads and opens fine.
Could you please, suggest, what's wrong with my Python code?
I've a python script that gives me 2 lists and another who is the reference(the time).
How can I create a graphic with the representation of my first list by the time. And same question for the second list. I need them on the same graphic.
list1 [12, 15, 17, 19]
list2 [34, 78, 54, 67]
list3 [10, 20, 30, 40] (time in minutes)
How can I create a graphic in png format with these lists?
Thanks
I am using python lxml library to parse html pages:
import lxml.html
# this might run indefinitely
page = lxml.html.parse('http://stackoverflow.com/')
Is there any way to set timeout for parsing?
hi, i am siva this is frist time taken the python programming language i have a small problem please help me the question is **Write two functions, called countSubStringMatch and countSubStringMatchRecursive that take two arguments, a key string and a target string. These functions iteratively and recursively count the number of instances of the key in the target string. You should complete definitions for
def countSubStringMatch(target,key):
and
def countSubStringMatchRecursive (target, key):
**
I was told that 95% of all loops in Python are "for" loops. Since "while" loops are clearly more "dangerous" than "for" loops, I would like to know if there are situations in which the use of a "while" loop is essential. For teaching purposes it would be useful to know if there is a systematic way of transforming "while" loops into "for" loops.
First of all, I get the name of the current window
win32gui.GetWindowText(win32gui.GetForegroundWindow())
k, no problem with that...
But now, how can I make an if with the result for having an specific string on it...
For example, the result gave me
C:/Python26/
How can I make an True of False for the result containing the word, 'python' ?
I'm trying with re.search, but I'm not being able to make it do it
We have some legacy string dates that I need to convert to actual dates that can be used to perform some date logic. Converting to a date object isn't a problem if I knew what the format were! That is, some people wrote 'dd month yy', othes 'mon d, yyyy', etc.
So, I was wondering if anybody knew of a py module that attempts to guess date formats and rewrites them in a uniform way?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks! :)

I use the following method to break the double loop in Python.
for word1 in buf1:
find = False
for word2 in buf2:
...
if res == res1:
print "BINGO " + word1 + ":" + word2
find = True
if find:
break
Is there better way to break the double loop?
Hello,
I have a Python script and I want to call it several functions down the script. Example code below:
class Name():
def __init__(self):
self.name = 'John'
self.address = 'Place'
self.age = '100'
def printName(self):
print self.name
def printAddress(self):
print self.address
def printAge(self):
print self.age
if __name__ == '__main__':
Person = Name()
Person.printName()
Person.printAddress()
Person.printage()
I execute this code by entering ./name.py. How could I exectute this code from the function printAddress() down the the end of the script?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a script where I launch with popen a shell command.
The problem is that the script don't wait that popen command is finished and go forward.
om_points = os.popen(command, "w")
.....
How can I tell to my python script to wait until the shell command has finished?
Thanks.
I have a SimpleXMLRPCServer server (Python).
How can I get the IP address of the client in the request handler?
This information appears in the log. However, I am not sure how to access this information from within the request handler.
I have 4 reasonably complex r scripts that are used to manipulate csv and xml files. These were created by another department where they work exclusively in r.
My understanding is that while r is very fast when dealing with data, it's not really optimised for file manipulation. Can I expect to get significant speed increases by converting these scripts to python? Or is this something of a waste of time?
There is function in python called eval that takes string input and evaluates it.
>>> x = 1
>>> print eval('x+1')
2
>>> print eval('12 + 32')
44
>>>
What is Haskell equivalent of eval function?
Is there a way to get functionality similar to mkdir -p on the shell... from within python. I am looking for a solution other than a system call. I am sure the code is less than 20 lines... really I am wondering if someone has already written it?
I wanted to know if there was a way I can get my python script located on a shared web hosting provider to read the contents of a folder on my desktop and list out the contents?
Can this be done using tempfiles?
Is there any benefit in using compile for regular expressions in Python?
h = re.compile('hello')
h.match('hello world')
vs
re.match('hello', 'hello world')
I want to produce a JSON file, containing some initial parameters and then records of data like this:
{
"measurement" : 15000,
"imi" : 0.5,
"times" : 30,
"recalibrate" : false,
{
"colorlist" : [234, 431, 134]
"speclist" : [0.34, 0.42, 0.45, 0.34, 0.78]
}
{
"colorlist" : [214, 451, 114]
"speclist" : [0.44, 0.32, 0.45, 0.37, 0.53]
}
...
}
How can this be achieved using the Python json module? The data records cannot be added by hand as there are very many.
pt=[2]
pt[0]=raw_input()
when i do this , and give an input suppose 1011 , it says list indexing error- " list assignment index out of range" . may i know why? i think i am not able to assign a list properly . how to assign an array of 2 elements in python then?
Hi, I have a CSV file and I want to bulk-import this file into my sqlite3 database using Python. the command is ".import .....". but it seems that it cannot work like this. Can anyone give me an example of how to do it in sqlite3? I am using windows just in case.
Thanks
Is there any free Python to C translator? for example capable to translate such lib as lib for Fast content-aware image resizing (which already depends on some C libs) to C classes and files?
I have a Python script that pulls in data from many sources (databases, files, etc.). Supposedly, all the strings are unicode, but what I end up getting is any variation on the following theme (as returned by repr()):
u'D\\xc3\\xa9cor'
u'D\xc3\xa9cor'
'D\\xc3\\xa9cor'
'D\xc3\xa9cor'
Is there a reliable way to take any four of the above strings and return the proper unicode string?
u'D\xe9cor' # --> Décor
The only way I can think of right now uses eval(), replace(), and a deep, burning shame that will never wash away.
Hey im new to python. How do you get a portion of a list by the relative value of its sorting key.
example...
list = [11,12,13,14,15,16,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
list.sort()
newList = list.split("all numbers that are over 13")
assert newList == [14,15,16]
