When using Django "out-of-the-box" administration forms, the "change form" pages can be rather long for complex models (with a lot of fields). I would like to use tabs in the "change form", so things can be more readable (group fields by tabs...) Instead of doing it all by myself, by modifiying the 'change_form.html' admin template, I ...
How to find out what week number is this year on June 16th (wk24) with Python? ...
Thanks to some great folks on SO, I discovered the possibilities offered by collections.defaultdict, notably in readability and speed. I have put them to use with success. Now I would like to implement three levels of dictionaries, the two top ones being defaultdict and the lowest one being int. I don't find the appropriate way to do th...

A while back I wrote a simple python program to brute-force the single solution for the drive ya nuts puzzle. The puzzle consists of 7 hexagons with the numbers 1-6 on them, and all pieces must be aligned so that each number is adjacent to the same number on the next piece. The puzzle has ~1.4G non-unique possibilities: you have 7! o...

I've gotten the impression that Python is good for this kind of stuff. but is this feasible to do? how would one go about implementing something like this? also, assume that the site does not let you visit som...
Is it possible to let the users choose / change dynamically the columns displayed in a object list in Django administration ? Things can surely be implemented "from scratch" by modifying the 'change_list.html' template but I was wondering if somebody has already had the same problem and/or if any django-pluggin can do that. Thanks in a...
I have a file called foobar (without .py extension). In the same directory I have another python file that tries to import it: import foobar But this only works if I rename the file to foobar.py. Is it possible to import a python module that doesn't have the .py extension? Update: the file has no extension because I also use it as a ...

I am extending Python with some C++ code. One of the functions I'm using has the following signature: int PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *arg, PyObject *kwdict, char *format, char **kwlist, ...); (link: http://docs.python.org/release/1.5.2p2/ext/parseTupleAndKeywords.html) The parameter of inter...
In python, there is no way to differentiate between arguments, local variables, and global variables. The easy way to do so might be have some coding convention such as Global variables start with _ and capital letter arguments end with with _ _Gvariable = 10 def hello(x_, y_): z = x_ + y_ Is this a Pythonian way to go? I mean...
Hi I have an old C# program that is being ported to Python 3 for different reasons. Basically, what the program does is to fetch a website and search its content (and process it, but that is not really relevant). I have never really had any issues with the actual fetch-and-search routine, but once I ported it to Python it started compla...

The thread suggests to use libtool in combination with the -module flag to link, but I am using qmake and need more precise instructions on how I do t...

Form, Redirect and Forward all send an unauthenticated user to a Form on a login page specified within an Authkit middleware application.
