Which technology is better to use in terms of performance for high performance scalable web application? PHP or Python?
The project is going to involve database.
I'm trying to write a function named median that takes a list as an input and returns the median value of the list.
I'm working with Python 2.7.2
The list can be of any size and the numbers are not guaranteed to be in any particular order.
If the list contains an even number of elements, the function should return the average of the middle two.
This is the code I'm starting with:
def median(list):
print(median([7,12,3,1,6,9]))
I'm new in python and I'm having some issues doing a simple thing.
I've an array (or list as it's said in pyton) like this:
list = [ 'NICE dog' , 'blue FLOWER' , 'GOOD cat' , 'YELLOW caw']
As you see each element of this array contains some words. These words is both lowercase and uppercase.
How I can delete from this array each lowercase words?
For example I'd like to have as result this list:
list = [ 'NICE' , 'FLOWER' , 'GOOD' , 'YELLOW']
Hi,
How can i print only certain words from a string in python ?
lets say i want to print only the 3rd word (which is a number) and the 10th one
while the text length may be different each time
mystring = "You have 15 new messages and the size is 32000"
thanks.
Hi, I have an application that starts several threads using
gobject.timeout_add(delay, function)
Now in my function I want to test and set on some variable, e.g.
def function(self):
if flag == True:
flag = False
doSomething()
Now to make this threadsafe, I would have to lock the function using some mutex lock.
Is this possible with Gtk? Or can I use the Python Lock objects from threading?

What's the best way to sanitise user input for a Python-based web application? Is there a single function to remove HTML characters and any other necessary characters combinations to ensure that an XSS or SQL injection attack isn't possible?
Hi,
I'm writing a parser in Python. I've converted an input string into a list of tokens, such as:
['(', '2', '.', 'x', '.', '(', '3', '-', '1', ')', '+', '4', ')', '/', '3', '.', 'x', '^', '2']
I want to be able to split the list into multiple lists, like the str.split('+') function. But there doesn't seem to be a way to do my_list.split('+'). Any ideas?
Thanks!
Im using python to access a MySQL database and im getting a unknown column in field due to quotes not being around the variable.
code below:
cur = x.cnx.cursor()
cur.execute('insert into tempPDBcode (PDBcode) values (%s);' % (s))
rows = cur.fetchall()
How do i manually insert double or single quotes around the value of s?
I've trying using str() and manually concatenating quotes around s but it still doesn't work.
The sql statement works fine iv double and triple check my sql query.
I want to break a Python string into its characters.
sequenceOfAlphabets = list( string.uppercase )
works.
However, why does not
sequenceOfAlphabets = re.split( '.', string.uppercase )
work?
All I get are empty, albeit expected count of elements
In python if a string contains the following,
print valid_str
The output of this is
Record is positive in tone:
It emphasizes "what a child can do and his or her achievements, as opposed to what he or she cannot do," explains the It is useful for progress and achievements during office conferences
How to search for the pattern It is useful in the above string and if not found return something.
Thanks..
Hi all
I am a newbie to the python. Can I unhash, or rather how can I unhash a value. I am using std hash() function. What I would like to do is to first hash a value send it somewhere and then unhash it as such:
#process X
hashedVal = hash(someVal)
#send n receive in process Y
someVal = unhash(hashedVal)
#for example print it
print someVal
Thx in advance
How can I split a line in Python at a non-printing ascii character (such as the long minus sign hex 0x97 , Octal 227)?
I won't need the character itself. The information after it will be saved as a variable.
I have an unknown number of functions in my python script (well, it is known, but not constant) that start with site_...
I was wondering if there's a way to go through all of these functions in some main function that calls for them.
something like:
foreach function_that_has_site_ as coolfunc
if coolfunc(blabla,yada) == true:
return coolfunc(blabla,yada)
so it would go through them all until it gets something that's true.
thanks!
I need a way to determine the space remaining on a disk volume using python on linux, Windows and OS X. I'm currently parsing the output of the various system calls (df, dir) to accomplish this - is there a better way?
hello.
What is the pythonic way to test if there is a tuple starting with another tuple in collection? actually, I am really after the index of match, but I can probably figure out from test example
for example:
c = ((0,1),(2,3))
# (0,) should match first element, (3,)should match no element
I should add my python is 2.4 and/or 2.5
thanks
What is the shortest / most elegant way to implement the following Scala code with an abstract attribute in Python?
abstract class Controller {
val path: String
}
A subclass of Controller is enforced to define "path" by the Scala compiler. A subclass would look like this:
class MyController extends Controller {
override val path = "/home"
}
I need to change some characters that are not ASCII to '_'.
For example,
Tannh‰user - Tann_huser
If I use regular expression with Python, how can I do this?
Is there better way to do this not using RE?
I am looking to setup a automated screen scraper that will run on Google app engine using python. I want it to scrape the site and put the specified results into a Entity in app engine. I am looking for some directions on what to use. I have seen beautifulsoup but wonder if people could recommend anything else that could run on Google App engine.
I'm writing a shell for a project of mine, which by design parses commands that looks like this:
COMMAND_NAME ARG1="Long Value" ARG2=123 [email protected]
My problem is that Python's command line parsing libraries (getopt and optparse) forces me to use '-' or '--' in front of the arguments. This behavior doesn't match my requirements.
Any ideas how can this be solved? Any existing library for this?
