  • good practice for string.partition in python

    - by user1544915
    some case i write code like these: a,temp,b = s.partition('-') i just need to pick the first and 3rd element. temp would never be used. is there a better way to do this? the common case is ,a better way to pick separted element to make a new list? for example i want to make a new list use old list 0,1,3,7 element code would be this: newlist = [oldlist[0],oldlist[1],oldlist[3],oldlist[7]] it's pretty ugly,isn't it?

  • Python how to convert this for loop into a while loop

    - by user1690198
    I have this for a for loop which I made I was wondering how I would write so it would work with a while loop. def scrollList(myList): negativeIndices=[] for i in range(0,len(myList)): if myList[i]<0: negativeIndices.append(i) return negativeIndices So far I have this def scrollList2(myList): negativeIndices=[] i= 0 length= len(myList) while i != length: if myList[i]<0: negativeIndices.append(i) i=i+1 return negativeIndices

  • Python 2.7 creating a multidimensional list

    - by poop
    I don't know why I am having so much trouble creating a 3 dimensional list. I need the program to create an empty n by n list. So for n = 4: x = [[[],[],[],[]],[[],[],[],[]],[[],[],[],[]],[[],[],[],[]]] I've tried using: y = [n*[n*[]]] y = [[[]]* n for i in range(n)] Which both appear to be creating copies of a reference. I've also tried naieve application of the list builder with little success: y = [[[]* n for i in range(n)]* n for i in range(n)] y = [[[]* n for i in range(1)]* n for i in range(n)] I've also tried building up the array iteratively using loops, with no success. In my rapid flurry of attempts to not post something stupidly easy to SO, I came upon a solution: y = [] for i in range(0,n): y.append([[]*n for i in range(n)]) Is there an easier/ more intuitive way of doing this?

  • python check value not in unicode list

    - by John
    Hi, I have a list and a value and want to check if the value is not in the list. list = [u'first record', u'second record'] value = 'first record' if value not in list: do something however this is not working and I think it has something to do with the list values having a u at the start, how can I fix this? And before someone suggests the list is returned from Django queryset so I can't just take the u out of the code :) Thanks

  • Convert a python dict to a string and back

    - by AJ00200
    I am writing a program that stores data in a dictionary object, but this data needs to be saved at some point during the program execution and loaded back into the dictionary object when the program is run again. How would I convert a dictionary object into a string that can be written to a file and loaded back into a dictionary object? This will hopefully support dictionaries containing dictionaries.

  • Python: Determine whether list of lists contains a defined sequence

    - by duhaime
    I have a list of sublists, and I want to see if any of the integer values from the first sublist plus one are contained in the second sublist. For all such values, I want to see if that value plus one is contained in the third sublist, and so on, proceeding in this fashion across all sublists. If there is a way of proceeding in this fashion from the first sublist to the last sublist, I wish to return True; otherwise I wish to return False. In other words, for each value in sublist one, for each "step" in a "walk" across all sublists read left to right, if that value + n (where n = number of steps taken) is contained in the current sublist, the function should return True; otherwise it should return False. (Sorry for the clumsy phrasing--I'm not sure how to clean up my language without using many more words.) Here's what I wrote. a = [ [1,3],[2,4],[3,5],[6],[7] ] def find_list_traversing_walk(l): for i in l[0]: index_position = 0 first_pass = 1 walking_current_path = 1 while walking_current_path == 1: if first_pass == 1: first_pass = 0 walking_value = i if walking_value+1 in l[index_position + 1]: index_position += 1 walking_value += 1 if index_position+1 == len(l): print "There is a walk across the sublists for initial value ", walking_value - index_position return True else: walking_current_path = 0 return False print find_list_traversing_walk(a) My question is: Have I overlooked something simple here, or will this function return True for all true positives and False for all true negatives? Are there easier ways to accomplish the intended task? I would be grateful for any feedback others can offer!

  • Reading from CSVs in Python repeatedly?

    - by matt
    I'm trying to check the value of extracted data against a csv I already have. It will only loop through the rows of the CSV once, I can only check one value of feed.items(). Is there a value I need to reset somewhere? Is there a better/more efficient way to do this? Thanks. orig = csv.reader(open("googlel.csv", "rb"), delimiter = ';') goodrows = [] for feed in gotfeeds: for link,comments in feed.items(): for row in orig: print link if link in row[1]: row.append(comments) goodrows.append(row)

  • Python | How to append elements to a list randomly

    - by MMRUser
    Is there a way to append elements to a list randomly, built in function ex: def random_append(): lst = ['a'] lst.append('b') lst.append('c') lst.append('d') lst.append('e') return print lst this will out put ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] But I want it to add elements randomly and out put something like this: ['b', 'd', 'b', 'e', 'c'] And yes there's a function random.shuffle() but it shuffles a list at once which I don't require, I just want to perform random inserts only.

  • Python: Closing a for loop by reading stdout

    - by user1732102
    import os dictionaryfile = "/root/john.txt" pgpencryptedfile = "helloworld.txt.gpg" array = open(dictionaryfile).readlines() for x in array: x = x.rstrip('\n') newstring = "echo " + x + " | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 " + pgpencryptedfile os.popen(newstring) I need to create something inside the for loop that will read gpg's output. When gpg outputs this string gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected, I need the loop to close and print Success! How can I do this, and what is the reasoning behind it? Thanks Everyone!

  • Python: Sort a dictionary by value

    - by the empirical programmer
    I have a dictionary of values read from 2 fields in a database: a string field and a numeric field. The string field is unique so that is the key of the dictionary. I can sort on the keys, but how can I sort based on the values? Note: I have read this post 72899 and probably could change my code to have a list of dictionaries but since I do not really need a list of dictionaries I wanted to know if there a simpler solution.

  • check if a process is running in python

    - by shash
    I am trying to find if the process is running based on process id. The code is as follows based on one of the post on the forum. I cannot consider process name as there are more than one process running with the same name. def findProcess( processId ): ps= subprocess.Popen("ps -ef | grep "+processId, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) output = ps.stdout.read() ps.stdout.close() ps.wait() return output def isProcessRunning( processId): output = findProcess( processId ) if re.search(processId, output) is None: return true else: return False Output : 1111 72312 72311 0 0:00.00 ttys000 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c ps -ef | grep 71676 1111 72314 72312 0 0:00.00 ttys000 0:00.00 grep 71676 It always return true as it can find the process id in the output string. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

  • A way to use Python which I don't know

    - by Konie
    In this quicksort function: def qsort2(list): if list == []: return [] else: pivot = list[0] # can't understand the following line lesser, equal, greater = partition(list[1:], [], [pivot], []) return qsort2(lesser) + equal + qsort2(greater) def partition(list, l, e, g): if list == []: return (l, e, g) else: head = list[0] if head < e[0]: return partition(list[1:], l + [head], e, g) elif head > e[0]: return partition(list[1:], l, e, g + [head]) else: return partition(list[1:], l, e + [head], g) I don't understand the sentence below the comment. Can someone tell me what is the meaning of this sentence here?

  • Parsing groupings of strings (Python)

    - by j00niner
    I have a string that looks something like this: [["Name1","ID1","DDY1", "CALL1", "WHEN1"], ["Name2","ID2","DDY2", "CALL2", "WHEN2"],...]; This string was taking from a website. Their can be any amount of groupings. How could I parse this string and print just the Name variables of each grouping?
