I've found a PHP script that lets me do what I asked in this SO question. I can use this just fine, but out of curiosity I'd like to recreate the following code in Python. I can of course use urllib2 to get the page, but I'm at a loss on how to handle the cookies since mechanize (tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6 on Windows and Python 2...

Because of this, I'd like to have a way to have Xcode set the copyright notice at the top of each source file on a per-project basis. I've s...
I want to automate this process: A number comes from an external system, let's say 35. Search and find svn commits which have #35 in their comments on branch A. Make list of all the changes of these commits to the commits before them. Apply this changes to branch B. For e.g. if rev 95 has #35 in its comments and introduced a new file...
How do you convince people (i.e. non-programmers) that automating a process is a GOOD thing? The common argument against is something like "But you only have to do [X mindnumbing task]" and "it only takes [Y mindnumbing time], just do it and don't waste time trying to change things." Any other programmers working in non-dev jobs where ...

Hi; In ClearCase, you can list the content of a directory using "cleartool ls". My question is how can I do the same thing using CAL (ClearCase Automation Layer). The reason I prefer the COM API is because I won't have to parse the output of "ls". So far, I am able to get the VOB and the View successfully, but I didn't find any method...

One of the FTP accounts that I use recently began requiring secure FTP connections, which broke a script that I used to upload to it using a 'standard' FTP library. I've written a little batch file that will upload the 2 files via FTPS.exe (MoveIT Freely), but I get a dialog box that pops up and requires me to click yes. Normally this ...
One of my clients needs to pull customer data from a web service periodically.

Programming is at the heart about automating tasks on a computer. Presumably those tasks would normally be done manually by a human. Humans use the computer through the keyboard, mouse, and interaction with the console or the window manager. But very few languages have built in functions that provide an interface to these basic computin...

How can I do this? Can you provide samp...
