The os.walk documentation (http://docs.python.org/library/os.html? highlight=os.walk#os.walk), says I can skip traversing unwanted directories by removing them from the dir list. The explicit example from the docs:
import os
from os.path import join, getsize
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('python/Lib/email'):
print root, "consumes",

I've been working with linux for a while but in a rather simple manner.
I understand that scripts in init.d are executed when the os starts but how exactly does it works?
How does the os know which paramater to pass to a script?
To start apache I would do sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start. If I run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 it doesn't work without…
The mouse acceleration on Mac OS X is driving me nuts. It may work for touchpads but nothing beats the Windows' acceleration curves. Is there a way to modify the behaviour on OS X? I tried getting a Microsoft mouse driver for OS X but it didn't work since my mouse is not from Microsoft.
Hi,
We wrote a simple OS X executable in objective c. It opens and runs very quickly when called.
We then put that executable into a .app bundle. When calling "open" from the command line on that bundle, or double clicking the app from the finder the "open" call can take upwards of 30 seconds to return.
This is especially confusing because…
Hi, I've read that you can run a 64bit guest OS on a 32bit host OS through virtualisation (if the CPU/BIOS supports it etc...).
Now I ask myself: How many RAM can the guest OS use/allocate? (assuming 4GB+ RAM)
Thanks in advance.
I have OS X Server installed. I am using Window Vista on a PC.
But on my network I can't see the OS X server. But I can see other Mac computers in shared but not OS X server.
I am able to ping the IP.
What should I do?
I'd like to install Gentoo Linux on my Macbook Pro by keeping my current OS X installation.
I currently have OS X installed on a RAID 0 on two 160GB Intel SSDs and I'd like to create a new partition for Gentoo alongside OS X without losing the RAID setup but, from what I read on the net, Apple's software RAID is poorly (read "not at all")…
I just had a new Asus EeePC R051CX. Out of the box, the installed OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I am trying to install Peppermint OS three (as single boot).
Problem. Once on live CD (well, live USB stick...), I'm in trouble in both following situations:
Try Peppermint OS Live
In this case, the first thing I get is a message reading

I dual-boot with Windows and Ubuntu. Usually, when I restart my computer, it is to switch os. Is there a way to tell it to Grub so that it preselects the right os in its menu when I restart my computer?
Currently, I have the following two lines in /etc/default/grub file :
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
These lines make Grub…
In this blog post I show the full stack tracing of Brendan Gregg's
php_syscolors.d script in the DTrace
Toolkit. The Toolkit contains a dozen very useful PHP DTrace
scripts and many more scripts for other languages and the OS.
For this example, I'll trace the PHP micro framework Silex, which was the topic of
the second of two talks by…
In my WiX project I need to install different content for the same file name, based on the OS.
If the OS is Windows 7 then the file needs to have content X.
If the OS is Windows Vista the file needs to have content Y.
I have thought through a few approaches:
Define two components, one with the content for windows 7 and…
I'm looking to make my app compatible with older versions of iPhone OS. I did see weak linking mentioned as an option. Can I use OS version detection code to avoid code blocks that the OS can't handle? (Say iAD?)
if(OS >= 4.0){
//set up iADs using "NDA code"...
}
If yes, what goes in place of if(OS >= 4.0)?
I am a new user of Ubuntu. I would like to install a persistent Ubuntu 11.04 to my USB stick, and it should be able to work as a guest OS running on Windows so that I can boot it on other computers other than the one which I used for the installation. I have used several creators such as unetbootin, however from my understanding…
SSH is a life-saver when you need to remotely manage a computer, but did you know you can also upload and download files, too? Using SSH keys, you can skip having to enter passwords and use this for scripts!
This process works on Linux and Mac OS, provided that they’re properly configured for SSH access. If you’re using Windows,…

Are there any real differences between them?
I want to program in java and python. And of corse be a normal user: internet, etc
Which one will give me less headaches/more satisfaction ?
And which is better for a server machine ?
Thank you
I'm just playing around with some code. I create an Activity and simply do something like this:
long lo = currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println(lo);
lo *= 3;
System.out.println(lo);
SystemClock.setCurrentTimeMillis(lo);
System.out.println( currentTimeMillis() );
Yes, in my…
Previous questions have asked "how can I efficiently switch between windows, not applications, in OS X"? (Switching windows on OS X, Switch between windows on Mac OS X? and others). The most recommended suggestions seem to be:
Use some combo of cmd-tab and cmd-~.
