Can you please give me a simple, and straightforward python example of sending an HTML e-mail using App Engine? Plaintext is straightforward, but I'm having difficulties with HTML tags.
Hi! I was wondering how to make a simple Clipboard Monitor in python, for GUI I'm using PyGTK.
I found gtk.clipboard class and all that but I couldn't find any solution to get the "signals" to trigger the event when the clipboard content has changed :(
Any ideas?
Thanks you! :)
Contents of check.py:
from multiprocessing import Process
import time
import sys
def slp():
time.sleep(30)
f=open("yeah.txt","w")
f.close()
if __name__=="__main__" :
x=Process(target=slp)
x.start()
sys.exit()
In windows 7, from cmd, if I call python check.py, it doesn't immediately exit, but instead waits for 30 seconds. And if I kill cmd, the child dies too- no "yeah.txt" is created.
How do I make ensure the child continues to run even if parent is killed and also that the parent doesn't wait for child process to end?
Hi there,
I'm trying to find information on different ways to traverse an object tree in python.
I don't know much about the language in general yet, so any suggestions/techniques would be welcome.
Thanks so much

In the effort to learn python and/or ruby, I was wondering how a file shredder would be implemented? I would like it to take in a file as an argument and then employ an algorithm to make that file unrecoverable. Would possibly add the support for multiple files or even whole directories later.
Does anybody know any module in Python that computes the best bi-partite matching?
I have tried the following two:
munkres
hungarian
However, in my case, I have to deal with non-complete graph (i.e., there might not be an edge between two nodes), and therefore, there might not be a match if the node has no edge. The above two packages seem not be able to deal with this.
Any advise?
I want to parse a timestamp from a log file that has been written via
datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
and then compute the number of seconds that have passed since this timestamp.
I know I could do it with datetime.datetime.strptime to get back a datetime object and then compute a timedelta. Problem is, the strptime function has been introduced with Python 2.5 and I'm using Python2.4.4 (an upgrade is not possible in my context).
Any easy way to do this?
I know this question may well be the silliest question you've herd today, but to me it is a big question at this stage of my programming learning.
Why is the second empty line needed in this Python code? What does that line do?
print 'Content-Type: text/plain'
print ''
print 'Hello, world!'
Working with Python in Emacs if I want to add a try/catch to a block of code, I often find that I am having to indent the whole block, line by line. In Emacs, how do you indent the whole block at once.
I am not an experienced Emacs user, but just find it is the best tool for working through ssh. I am using Emacs on the command line(Ubuntu), not as a gui, if that makes any difference.
Python has string.find() and string.rfind() to get the index of a substring in string.
I wonder, maybe there is something like string.find_all() which can return all founded indexes (not only first from beginning or first from end)?
For example:
string = "test test test test"
print string.find('test') # 0
print string.rfind('test') # 15
#that's the goal
print string.find_all('test') # [0,5,10,15]
Much like Java (or php), I'm use to seperating the classes to files.
Is it the same deal in Python? plus, how should I name the file?
Lowercase like classname.py or the same like ClassName.py?
Do I need to do something special if I want to create an object from this class or does the fact that it's in the same "project" (netbeans) makes it ok to create an object from it?
Hey
Is it possible with python to set the timezone just like this in php:
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/London");
$Year = date('y');
$Month = date('m');
$Day = date('d');
$Hour = date('H');
$Minute = date('i');
I can't really install any other modules etc as I'm using shared web hosting.
Any ideas?
So the setup is a slew of proprietary server/client Python applications running on one Linux box (the server) and a set of Windows 7 workstations (the clients). Everything is running smoothly until any of the proprietary Python packages needs updating.
For now I am using distutils eggs which are very easily updated with easy_install, but it is still a manual process which quickly becomes tedious as the number of applications and client workstations grow.
The ideal setup IMHO is to have the Python packages on the server so when a client application is launched on a workstation the client application can check to see whether its current Python packages are up-to-date. If not, the client application should download the newer Python package from the server, install it, and then launch as per normal.
Does this sounds familiar to anyone? I have tried to find alternatives myself, but as far as I can see there is no Python module offering this functionality. Does anyone have any home made solutions for this?
Can somebody explain to me why this works (in Python 2.5) :
class Foo(object):
pass
class Bar(Foo):
pass
print(Foo.__subclasses__())
but this doesn't :
class Foo():
pass
class Bar(Foo):
pass
print(Foo.__subclasses__())
The latter returns "AttributeError: class Foo has no attribute '__subclasses__'" but i'm not sure why. I know this is related to old-style vs. new-style classes but i'm not clear on why that would make this functionality unavailable.
How can I protect my web server, if I run custom users code on server. If any user can submit his python source on my server and run it.
Maybe some modules or linux tools for close any network and hardware activity for this script.
Thank's all for help!
Is there a way in python to programmatically determine the width of the console? I mean the number of characters that fits in one line without wrapping, not the pixel width of the window.
Edit
Looking for a solution that works on Linux
How to truncate sthe string to 75 characters only in python
This is how it was done in javascript
var data="saddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddsaddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddsadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd"
var info = (data.length > 75) ? data.substring[0,75] + '..' : data;
Right now I am using an arduino to send data from an analog sensor to COM4. I am trying to make a python script that continuously monitors that data and looks for a certain parameter.
I tried something like this but it isn't outputing the data like I want.
import serial
port = "COM4"
ser = serial.Serial(port,9600, timeout =1)
value = 0
while 1:
value = ser.read()
print value
I want to run:
python somescript.py somecommand
But, when I run this I need PYTHONPATH to include a certain directory. I can't just add it to my environment variables because the directory I want to add changes based on what project I'm running. Is there a way to alter PYTHONPATH while running a script? Note: I don't even have a PYTHONPATH variable, so I don't need to worry about appending to it vs overriding it during running of this script.
It is recommended to not to use import * in python. Can anyone please share the reason for that, so that I can avoid it doing next time.
Thanks and Regards
What Python libraries do folks use for querying Amazon product data? (Amazon Associates Web Service - used to be called E-Commerce API, or something along those lines).
Based on my research, PyAWS (http://pyaws.sourceforge.net/) seems okay, but still pretty raw (and hasn't been updated in a while). Wondering if there's an obvious canonical library that I'm just missing.
Hello everybody
I'm trying to manually create the file descriptor associated with a socket in python and then loaded directly into memory with mmap. Create a file into memory with mmap is simple, but I can not find a way to associate the file with a socket.
Anyone know how?
thank you very much.
Hi,
I need to compare two files and redirect the different lines to third file. I know using diff command i can get the difference . But, is there any way of doing it in python ?
Hello all, I have a python script and am wondering is there any way that I can ensure that the script run's continuously on a remote computer? Like for example, if the script crashes for whatever reason, is there a way to start it up automatically instead of having to remote desktop. Are there any other factors I have to be aware of? The script will be running on a window's machine.
