Hi,
Fastest way to uniqify a list in Python without preserving order? I saw many complicated solutions on Internet - could they be faster then simply:
list(set([a,b,c,a]))
?
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 :)
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 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?
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
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 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
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.
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?
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).
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.
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 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.
how can I use wild cars like '*' when getting a list of files inside a directory in Python? for example, I want something like:
os.listdir('foo/*bar*/*.txt')
which would return a list of all the files ending in .txt in directories that have bar in their name inside of the foo parent directory.
how can I do this?
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 running a multithreaded application(Python2.7.3) in a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz. I thought it would be using only one core but using the "top" command I see that the python processes are constantly changing the core no. Enabling "SHOW THREADS" in the top command shows diffrent thread processes working on different cores.
Can anyone please explain this? It is bothering me as I know from theory that multithreading is executed on a single core.
I have a text document that contains a list of numbers and I want to convert it to a list. Right now I can only get the entire list in the 0th entry of the list, but I want each number to be an element of a list. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this in Python?
1000
2000
3000
4000
to
['1000','2000','3000','4000']
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'm looking for a way in python to find out which type of file system is being used for a given path. I'm wanting to do this in a cross platform way. On linux I could just grab the output of df -T but that won't work on OSX or windows.
I am creating an application that lets users login using Google, Facebook and the website's native login. The site is being built in Python / Django.
What would be the best way to handle login, session management and user authentication?
I do not want to use the in-built Django user management. I am using Django very sparingly(URLs, templates)
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?
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
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?
