What are the differences between these built-in Python data types: list, sequence and slice? As I see it, all three essentially represent what C++ and Java call array.
Hi,
I need to construct an if statement from the data coming from the client as below:
conditions: condition1, condition2, condition3, condition4
logical operators: lo1, lo2, lo3 (Possible values: "and" "or")
Eg.
if condition1 lo1 condition2 lo3 condition4:
# Do something
I can think of eval/exec but not sure how safe they are! Any better approach or alternative?
Appreciate your responses :)
PS: Client-side: Flex, Server-side: Python, over internet
Thanks
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:
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?
:-(
Hello,
Is there a way to declare a string variable in python such that everything inside of it is automatically escaped, or has its literal character value? I'm NOT asking how to escape the quotes with slashes, that's obvious. What I'm asking for is a general purpose way for making EVERYTHING in a string literal so that I don't have to manually go through and escape everything for very large strings. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks!
How can I parse text and find all instances of hyperlinks with a string? The hyperlink will not be in the html format of <a href="http://test.com">test</a> but just http://test.com
Secondly, I would like to then convert the original string and replace all instances of hyperlinks into clickable html hyperlinks.
I found an example in this thread:
Easiest way to convert a URL to a hyperlink in a C# string?
but was unable to reproduce it in python :(
What is the most effective and compatible automatic Python obfuscator? What are your experiences with using each?
And before anyone asks why I am obfuscating -- I am doing it simply because I can. Thanks.
Hi, I'm developing C extensions from python ad I obtain some segfaults (inevitable during the development...).
I'm searching a way to display at which line of code the segfault happens (an idea is like tracing every single line of code), how I can do that?
This whole topic is way out of my depth, so forgive my imprecise question, but I have two computers both connected to one LAN.
What I want is to be able to communicate one string between the two, by running a python script on the first (the host) where the string will originate, and a second on the client computer to retrieve the string.
What is the most efficient way for an inexperienced programmer like me to achieve this?
I write a python class which makes asynchronous method calls using D-Bus. When my reply_handler is called, it stores data in list. This list can be used by another class methods at the same time. Is it safe or I can use only synchronized data structures like Queue class?
What sort of mime type should I be using to email a .avi file from an automated python script? There are specific ones for audio/images, but not video afaik.
I am trying to get the response codes from Mechanize in python. While I am able to get a 200 status code anything else isn't returned (404 throws and exception and 30x is ignored). Is there a way to get the original status code?
Thanks
Hello everyone,
How can I get the file name and line number in python script.
Exactly the file information we get from an exception traceback. In this case without raising an exception.
Hello everyone, i'm looking for a way in python to run an external binary and watch it's output for: "up to date" If "up to date" isn't returned i want to run the original command again, once "up to date" is displayed i would like to be able to run another script. So far I've figured out how to run the binary with options using subprocess but thats as far as I've gotten. Thanks!
I have a few questions about python
I've seen many pages like these on Google
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6583
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=13488
...that have .py extensions. 1: Are pages like these built on pure python code, but printing out html like print "<div etc..." or like the typical asp,jsp,php type of pages with html pages and embedded python code like:
<html>
<% some python code %>
</html>
2: What is python mainly used for making? windows apps or web or .. ?
3: Are ruby and perl also similar to python?
I am building a python application to pull data from a website. The application has to authenticate(HTTPS/SSL) with a CAC card and pin in order to make requests.
Am I correct in my assumptions that you can't retrieve the private key from a CAC card, and am therefore stuck using a PKCS #11 Wrapper like PyKCS?
Any tips or resources for going about this?
I am creating a sort of "Command line" in Python. I already added a few functions, such as changing login/password, executing, etc., But is it possible to browse files in the directory that the main file is in with a command/module, or will I have to make the module myself and use the import command? Same thing with changing directories to view, too.
Format is like:
CHINA;2002-06-25 00:00:00.000;5,60
CHINA;2002-06-26 00:00:00.000;5,32
CHINA;2002-06-27 00:00:00.000;5,31
and I try to use Python's CSV tools to parse it but cannot understand the paragraph, source:
And while the module doesn’t directly support parsing strings, it can easily be done:
import csv
for row in csv.reader(['one,two,three']):
print row
Could someone clarify the line ['one,two,three']? How would you use it with format A;B;C?
Hi
I am trying to perform a 2d convolution in python using numpy
I have a 2d array as follows with kernel H_r for the rows and H_c for the columns
data = np.zeros((nr, nc), dtype=np.float32)
#fill array with some data here then convolve
for r in range(nr):
data[r,:] = np.convolve(data[r,:], H_r, 'same')
for c in range(nc):
data[:,c] = np.convolve(data[:,c], H_c, 'same')
It does not produce the output that I was expecting, does this code look OK
Thanks
What's the best way of getting the last item from an iterator in Python 2.6? For example, say
my_iter = iter(range(5))
What is the shortest-code / cleanest way of getting 4 from my_iter?
I could do this, but it doesn't seem very efficient:
[x for x in my_iter][-1]
I downloaded a webpage in my python script.
In most cases, this works fine.
However, this one had a response header: GZIP encoding, and when I tried to print the source code of this web page, it had all symbols in my putty.
How do decode this to regular text?
The greenlet package is used by gevent and eventlet for asynchronous IO. It is written as a C-extension and therefore doesn't work with Jython or IronPython. If performance is of no concern, what is the easiest approach to implementing the greenlet API in pure Python.
A simple example:
def test1():
print 12
gr2.switch()
print 34
def test2():
print 56
gr1.switch()
print 78
gr1 = greenlet(test1)
gr2 = greenlet(test2)
gr1.switch()
Should print 12, 56, 34 (and not 78).
Hi there,
I have a piece of text that gets handed to me like:
here is line one\n\nhere is line two\n\nhere is line three
What I would like to do is break this string up into three separate variables.
I'm not quite sure how one would go about accomplishing this in python.
Thanks for any help,

I was working with Python with a Linux terminal screen. When I typed:
help(somefunction)
It printed the appropriate output, but then my screen was stuck, and at the bottom of the terminal was "(end)".
How do I get unstuck? Thanks in advance.
