Is there such a thing as a "translator" (for lack of a better word in my mind now) that translates Python code directly to JVM / Dalvik bytecode?
Would be great for writing Android applications in Python!
NOTE: I know about the scripting capabilities of the Android platform but I am looking for something that would generate a '.apk' without having to install the 'scripting' package... annoying for end-users.
Is there a cross-platform way to list the processes running on one's computer through a python script? For Unix based system "ps -ef" works, but I am new to Python and don't know a way to write something that would work across any platform.
Thanks!
I have simple python script, 'first.py':
#first.py
def firstFunctionEver() :
print "hello"
firstFunctionEver()
I want to call this script using : python first.py and have it call the firstFunctionEver(). But, the script is ugly -- what function can I put the call to firstFunctionEver() in and have it run when the script is loaded?
I have seen various articles about good Python editors/IDEs, like this. However, none of them points out whether the editors support automatic code completion. I tried notepad++, PyScript and Komodo Edit, but all of these requires a hotkey to invoke the code completion dialog.
Do you know any Python editors with automatic code completion?
I tried to implement XOR sort in python.
x,y= 10,20
x,y,x = x^y,x^y,x^y
print('%s , %s'%(x,y))
OUTPUT:
30 , 30
I am not new to python but I am unable to explain this output. It should have been 20,10.
What is going on under the hood?
Hi,
I have a Python script that takes the directory path of a text file and converts it into an excel file. Currently I have it running as a console application (compiled with py2exe) and prompts the user for the directory path through raw_input().
How do i make it such that I can drag & drop my text file directly into the .exe of the python script?
Thanks,
i have a python script which keeps crashing on:
subprocess.call(["pdftotext", pdf_filename])
the error being:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
the absolute path to the filename (which i am storing in a log file as i debug) is fine; on the command line, if i type pdftotext <pdf_filename_goes_here> it works for any of the alledgedly bad file names. but when called using subprocess in python i keep getting that error.
what is going on???
I have a script that I want to exit early under some condition:
if not "id" in dir():
print "id not set, cannot continue"
# exit here!
# otherwise continue with the rest of the script...
print "alright..."
[ more code ]
I run this script using execfile("foo.py") from the Python interactive prompt and I would like the script to exit going back to the command line. How do I do this? If I use sys.exit(), the Python interpreter exits completely.
What protocol preferred to use for interaction between Python-code and Erlang-code over Internet? ASN.1 would be ideally for me, but its implementation in Python cannot generate encoder/decoder out from notation.
I'm trying to find a tool to check for coding style in python.
For php I've seen there is the Code Sniffer, and a small perl script used by Drupal. Is there such a tool for python code?
Thanks
Is there an official documentation on python website somewhere, on how to install and run multiple versions of python on the same machine? On linux?
I can find gazillions of blog posts and answers - but I want to know if there is a "standard" official way of doing this?
Or is this all dependent on OS?
My project uses buildout to do primarily two things: automatically fetch dependencies and create scripts; and setup cron jobs (on deployment machines) using the usercrontab buildout recipe.
But buildout is not yet available for Python 3.
So I would like to consider alternatives for buildout. I know that both virtualenv and pip work on Python 3 - but what is the preferred tool to automate the build toolchain (of creating virtualenv, and automatically installing/upgrading deps)? There is fabric, paver, and so on. What is your preferred tool of choice in this case? It must work seamlessly on both Windows and *nix.
I'm not quite sure how to build a really simple one-file source module. Is there a sample module out there one the web somewhere which can be built as a python .egg?
From the setuptools page it looks pretty simple, you just have your setup.py file and then at least one other .py file somewhere, and I can build an .egg file OK, and even install it using easy_install, but I can't seem to import the file from within python. (note: using 2.6.4)
Say I have a function foo that I want to call n times. In Ruby, I would write:
n.times { foo }
In Python, I could write:
for _ in xrange(n): foo()
But that seems like a hacky way of doing things.
My question: Is there an idiomatic way of doing this in Python?
Hi,
I am unable to display images in pages created using Google App Engine(Python).
My app.yaml file has :
- url: /images
static_dir: images
And the python file has:
self.response.out.write("""<img src = '/images/title.gif' />""")
The image still does not display in the page.
Thanks
I'm using Notepad++ for python development, and few days ago I found out about free Komodo Edit.

How to create simple web site with python?
I mean really simple, f.ex, you see text "Hello World", and there are button "submit", which (onClick) will show ajax box "submit successful".
I want to start develop some stuff with Python, and I don't know where to start :)
I am a newcomer to Python and am converting a Perl script. What is the Python equivalent to...
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am wondering if there are any tips or tricks to converting perl into python. It would be nice if there was a script like python's 2to3. Or perhaps some compatibility libraries.
I like the sinatra framework, but might have to work in python. A quick web search has uncovered a few python equivalents including itty, flask and juno.
I'd like to know people's experience of these, or other sinatra equivalents. Which would you recommend?
