I'm teaching my self python and I was translating some sample code into this class Student(object): def __init__( self, name, a,b,c ): self.name = name self.a = a self.b = b self.c = c def average(self): return ( a+b+c ) / 3.0 Which is pretty much my intended class definition Later in...
I'm doing it like this now, but i want it to write at the beginning of the file instead. f = open('out.txt', 'a') # or 'w'? f.write("string 1") f.write("string 2") f.write("string 3") f.close() so that the contenst of out.txt will be: string 3 string 2 string 1 and not (like this code does): string 1 string 2 string 3 ...
I'm doing some research with an interactive shell and using a Django app (shell_plus) for storing data and browsing it using the convenient admin. Occasionally I add or change some of the app models, and run a syncdb (or South migration when changing a model). The changes to the models don't take effect in my interactive session even if...
I'm trying to validate that the fields given to sphinx are valid, but I'm having difficulty. Imagine that valid fields are cat, mouse, dog, puppy. Valid searches would then be: @cat search terms @(cat) search terms @(cat, dog) search term @cat searchterm1 @dog searchterm2 @(cat, dog) searchterm1 @mouse searchterm2 So, I want to u...
I'm having trouble retrieving the youtube video automatically, heres the code. The problem is the last part. download = urllib.request.urlopen(download_url).read() # Youtube video download script # 10n1z3d[at]w[dot]cn import urllib.request import sys print("\n--------------------------") print (" Youtube Video ...
I saw this video, and I am really curious how it was performed. Does anyone have any ideas? My intuition is that he scraped pixels from the screen (one per 'box'), and then fed that into some program to determine the next move. Is scraping pixel-by-pixel the way to do this, or is there a better way? I am looking to do something similar ...
In Windows the Dropbox client uses python25.dll and the MS C runtime libraries (msvcp71.dll, etc). On OS X the Python code is compiled bytecode (pyc). My guess is they are using a common library they have written then just have to use different hooks for the different platforms. What method of development is this? It clearly isn't Iron...
Hello, I'm trying to come up with the best way to handle user subscription and management for our magazine website. What I want to happen is a user purchases a subscription and they are granted online access of a certain membership role for a certain amount of time depending on how many years they subscribed for. I would also like the s...
I am fitting a Gaussian kernel density estimator to a variable that is the difference of two vectors, called "diff", as follows: gaussian_kde_covfact(diff, smoothing_param) -- where gaussian_kde_covfact is defined as: class gaussian_kde_covfact(stats.gaussian_kde): def __init__(self, dataset, covfact = 'scotts'): self.covfac...

Hi I am trying to animate a skeleton using a BVH file. I am doing this in pyopengl. Now I have googled and got to know that python has a generic module that can be used to read BVH file but i don't know how to use it or how to import that module. Can anyone help me with that. Any sample code or any other help would be appreciated. Tha...
I'm trying to do a very simple search from a list of terms terms = ['term1', 'term2', 'term3'] How do I programmatically go through the list of terms and construct the "conditions" from the list of terms so that I can make the query using filter and or_ or _and? e.g. query.filter(or_(#something constructed from terms)) ...
I need to run a python script on a machine that doesn't have python installed. I use python as a part of a software package, and the python runs behind the curtain without the user's notice of it. What I did was as follows. Copy python.exe, python26.dll, msvcr90.dll and Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest zip all the directory in LIBs direc...
Is there a template engine for Python 3? It should be flexible (not HTML/XML centric) and fast. ...
Hi Say I have the unknown number of questions. For example: Is the sky blue [y/n] What date were your born on [date] What is pi [3.14] What is a large integ [100] Now each of these questions poses a different but very type specific answer (boolean, date, float, int). Natively django can happily deal with these in a model. clas...
I am using py.test for unit testing my python program. I wish to debug my test code with the python debugger the normal way (by which i mean pdb.set_trace() in the code) but I can't make it work. Putting pdb.set_trace() in the code doesn't work (raises IOError: reading from stdin while output is captured). I have also tried running py....
I have a client (written in Python, with a wxPython front end in dead-simple wizard style) which communicates a website running IIS. A python script receives requests and does the usual client-server dance. I would have written this as a browser application, but for the requirement that certain things happen on the local PC that the we...

I'm working on solving a memory leak in my Python application. Here's the thing - it really only appears to happen on Windows Server 2008 (not R2) but not earlier versions of Windows, and it also doesn't look like it's happening on Linux (although I haven't done nearly as much testing on Linux). To troubleshoot it, I set up debugging o...
Is there any way to get a backend-neutral dictionary cursor in Django? This would be a cursor that is a dict rather than a tuple. I am forced to use Oracle for the school project I'm working on. in Python's MySQLDb module it's called a DictCursor. With WoLpH's inspiring suggestion I know I am very close.. def dict_cursor(cursor): ...
