Is there any dolby/5.1/7.1 audio processing Python library? It would be best if it is platform independent. Would be nice if it looks like: import lib f = lib.open("8channels_audiofile") lib.play(from=f.channel3, to="left rear"); ...
In using the m4_ax_python_module.m4 macro in configure.ac (AX_PYTHON_MODULE), one can know at configure time if a given module is installed. It takes two arguments, the module name, and second argument which if not empty, will lead to an exit, useful when the module is a must-have. In the case where you don't want a fatal exit, how do ...
This post relates to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/520421/add-row-to-inlines-dynamically-in-django-admin Is there a way to achive adding inline formsets WITHOUT using javascript? Obviously, there would be a page-refresh involved. So, if the form had a button called 'add'... I figured I could do it like this: if request.met...
Our server cluster consists of 20 machines, each with 10 pids of 5 threads. We'd like some way to prevent any two threads, in any pid, on any machine, from modifying the same object at the same time. Our code's written in Python and runs on Linux, if that helps narrow things down. Also, it's a pretty rare case that two such threads wan...
Hi I want to write a function that revives a list [1,5,3,6,...] and gives [1,1,5,5,3,3,6,6,...] any idea how to do it? thanks ...
My query is essentially the following: entries=Entry.all().order("-votes").order("-date").filter("votes >", VOTE_FILTER).fetch(PAGE_SIZE+1, page* PAGE_SIZE) I want to grab N of the latest entries that have a voting score above some benchmark (VOTE_FILTER). Google currently says that I cannot filter on 'votes' because I order by 'date....
Hello, I have been using pil for the first time today. And I wanted to resize an image assuming it was larger than 800x600 and also create a thumbnail. I could do either of these tasks separately but not together in one method (I am doing a custom save method in django admin). This returns a "cannot identify image file" error message. T...
I need to grab the duration of a video file via python as part of a larger script. I know I can use ffmpeg to grab the duration, but I need to be able to save that output as a variable back in python. I thought this would work, but it's giving me a value of 0: cmd = 'ffmpeg -i %s 2>&1 | grep "Duration" | cut -d \' \' -f 4 | sed s/,//' %...
I'm re-asking this question but with a different framework this time. I have two Models: User and Book with a M2M-relation. I want Book to have an attribute "read" that is True when the relation exists. Is this possible in SQLAlchemy? ...
I am interested in finding a path (not necessarily shortest) in a short amount of time. Dijsktra and AStar in networkx is taking too long. Why is there no DFS or BFS in networkx? I plan to write my own DFS and BFS search (I am leaning more towards BFS because my graph is pretty deep). Is there anything that I can use in networkx's lib...
I have variables with values like 1.7m 1.8k and 1.2b how can I convert them to a real number value for example 1.7m = 1700000 1.8k = 1800 1.2b = 1200000000 ...
I have a set of points like: pointA(3302.34,9392.32), pointB(34322.32,11102.03), etc. I need to scale these so each x- and y-coordinate is in the range (0.0 - 1.0). I tried doing this by first finding the largest x value in the data set (maximum_x_value), and the largest y value in the set (minimum_y_value). I then did the following: p...
Using the code print('{0} is not'.format('That that is not')) in Python 3.1.1, I get the following error: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'format' when I delete the line Netbeans automatically inserted at the beginning: from distutils.command.bdist_dumb import format which itself causes an error of ImportError: canno...
I am writing a huffman implementation in Python as a learning exercise. I have got to the point of writing out my variable length huffman codes to a buffer (or file). Only to find there does not seem to be a bitstream class implemented by Python! I have had a look at the array and struct modules but they do not seem to do what I need ...
Hi I have 1000 encrypted workbooks which I would like to decrypt by providing a pwd. I could not find a decrypt method under apache poi or python's xlrd module. Does anyone know a library which could handle this (wbc.decrypt(pwd)). I would prefer a lib i could you use from a unix box. Thanks ...
I've inherited an older database that was setup with a "on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" put on a field that should only describe an item's creation. With PHP I have been using "timestamp=timestamp" on UPDATE clauses, but in SQLAlchemy I can't seem to force the system to use the set timestamp. Do I have no choice and need to update the MyS...
I am getting input with this here areaInput = QtGui.QInputDialog.getText(self, "Copy Area", "New Area Name:", 0) However I would like to make the dialog box larger, I've tried things such as QtGui.QInputDialog.resize(400, 400) However it says "the first argument must be a QWidget class" and I'm not quite sure what this means or how...
I would like to write a CPython app that would consume WCF services that use NetNamedPipeBinding and NetTcpBinding. It is possible? What library enables that? ...
Does CPython have any library that helps to write binding-independent services? I have found some SOAP libraries for Python, but it misses the flexibility of choosing the binding at runtime. ...
For an assignment for my intro to python course, we are to write a program that generates 100 sets of x,y coordinates. X must be a float between -100.0 and 100.0 inclusive, but not 0. Y is Y = ((1/x) * 3070) but if the absolute value of Y is greater than 100, both numbers must be discarded (BUT STORED) and another set generated. The re...
