Hi folks,
I'm serving a Django app behind IIS 6. I'm wondering if I can restart IIS 6 within Python/Django and what one of the best ways to do would be.
Help would be great!
I've always laughed to myself when I looked back at my VB6 days, "What modern language doesn't allow incrementing with double plus signs?":
number++
To my surprise I can't find anything about this in the Python docs. Must I really subject myself to number = number + 1? Doesn't people use the ++/-- notation?
:-(
I need to be able to block the urls that are stored in a text file on the hard disk using Python. If the url the user tries to visit is in the file, it redirects them to another page instead. How is this done?
Hi I have a MySQL server that I need access through a VPN.
I use MySQLdb package to access MySQL server in Python.
When I can access the server without VPN, it works fine, but when I'm at certain locations, I need to connect through VPN.
My computer is connected to the VPN and I can access the database through PHPMyAdmin, but MySQLdb gives me an error message:
OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'MY_IP' (10061)")
Any ideas on why it's not working?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm writing a parser in Python. I've converted an input string into a list of tokens, such as:
['(', '2', '.', 'x', '.', '(', '3', '-', '1', ')', '+', '4', ')', '/', '3', '.', 'x', '^', '2']
I want to be able to split the list into multiple lists, like the str.split('+') function. But there doesn't seem to be a way to do my_list.split('+'). Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi all
I am a newbie to the python. Can I unhash, or rather how can I unhash a value. I am using std hash() function. What I would like to do is to first hash a value send it somewhere and then unhash it as such:
#process X
hashedVal = hash(someVal)
#send n receive in process Y
someVal = unhash(hashedVal)
#for example print it
print someVal
Thx in advance
I am trying to get python to make noise when certain things happen. Preferably, i would like to play music of some kind, however some kind of distinctive beeping would be sufficient, like an electronic timer going off. I have thus far only been able to make the system speaker chime using pywin32's Beep, however this simply does not have the volume for my application.
Any ideas on how I can do this?
How can I log into my Launchpad account in a python script? Any sample code would be appreciated.
The login url is https://launchpad.net/+login and then redirect to something like https://login.launchpad.net/fJLVSRbxPfKTpVDr/+decide
Thanks in advance!
I am iterating over an array in python:
for g in [ games[0:4] ]:
g.output()
Can I also initialise and increment an index in that for loop and pass it to g.output()?
such that g.output(2) results in:
Game 2 - name: Fruit Splat, text: "Splat fruits!", bitrate: 250000
I'm curious if their is some python magic I may not know to accomplish a bit of frivolity
given the line:
csvData.append(','.join([line.split(":").strip() for x in L]))
I'm attempting to split a line on :, trim whitespace around it, and join on ,
problem is, since the array is returned from line.split(":"), the
for x in L #<== L doesn't exist!
causes issues since I have no name for the array returned by line.split(":")
So I'm curious if there is a sexy piece of syntax I could use to accomplish this in one shot?
Cheers!
Hello, I am creating a Beta Testers reporting module so they can send in thier comments on my software, but I would like to have the option to include a screenshot with the report. How do I take a screenshot of the screen with Python on Windows? I have found several examples on Linux, but haven't had much luck on Windows.
In Python I can use the iterkeys() method to iterate over the keys of a dictionary. For example:
mydict = {'a': [3,5,6,43,3,6,3,],
'b': [87,65,3,45,7,8],
'c': [34,57,8,9,9,2],}
for k in mydict.iterkeys():
print k
gives me:
a
c
b
How can I do something similar in Javascript?
I have a following string - "AACCGGTTT" (alphabet is ["A","G","C","T"]). I would like to generate all strings that differ from the original in any two positions i.e.
GAGCGGTTT
^ ^
TATCGGTTT
^ ^
How can I do it in Python?
I have only brute force solution (it is working):
generate all strings on a given alphabet with the same length
append strings that have 2 mismatches with a given string
However, could you suggest more efficient way to do so?
I have a Python app that contains an object structure that the user can manipulate. What I want to do is allow the user to create a file declaring how the object structure should be created.
For example, I would like the user to be able to create the following file:
foo.bar.baz = true
x.y.z = 12
and for my app to then create that object tree automatically. What's the best way to do something like this?
I want to be able to take a shortened or non-shortened URL and return its un-shortened form. How can I make a python program to do this?
Additional Clarification:
Case 1: shortened -- unshortened
Case 2: unshortened -- unshortened
e.g. bit.ly/silly in the input array should be google.com in the output array
e.g. google.com in the input array should be google.com in the output array
Thanks for the help!
I'm trying to use python to determine if one (small) image is within another (large) image.
Any suggestions before I take myself completely down the wrong path?
How do you end up running pypcap for python 2.6 on a mac? It seems that there hasn't been any new releases since 2.5 or am I just looking in the wrong places?
I am writing a program in Python, and want to get it to make the OS open the current working directory, making for instance Windows open explorer.exe and navigating to the wanted directory. Any ideas on how to do this?
The directory is already given by os.getcwd.
Cross platform methods preferred :)
I need to change some characters that are not ASCII to '_'.
For example,
Tannh‰user - Tann_huser
If I use regular expression with Python, how can I do this?
Is there better way to do this not using RE?
class A:
def __init__(self):
print "world"
class B(A):
def __init__(self):
print "hello"
B()
hello
In all other languages I've worked with the super constructor is invoked implicitly. How does one invoke it in Python? I would expect super(self) but this doesn't work
Is there any way other than creating a method myself to write XML using python which are easily readable? xMLFile.write(xmlDom.toxml()) does create proper xml but reading them is pretty difficult. I tried toprettyxml but doesn't seem like it does much. e.g. following is what I would consider a human readable xml:
Hi, I have an application that starts several threads using
gobject.timeout_add(delay, function)
Now in my function I want to test and set on some variable, e.g.
def function(self):
if flag == True:
flag = False
doSomething()
Now to make this threadsafe, I would have to lock the function using some mutex lock.
Is this possible with Gtk? Or can I use the Python Lock objects from threading?
I have read about python sched (task schedular), it works like a cron.
but I have a question :
lets say if i schedule a function to ryn after every 2 hours and in the mean time my system gets shut down, then I again restart the system...did the schedular automatically starts and will run the function after 2 hours? or i have to start that again after shutting down the system?
did sched work like a deamon?
