I am making a Python script which will read in a GeoTIFF file, and will do both: convert the GeoTIFF into a static JPEG (that is much smaller in size), and create a separate text file which contains the GeoTIFF headers. Using the Python GDAL API, I am able to get the script to open a GeoTIFF file, and print details, such as the RasterXS...

For example: I wrote client/server application using python3 with ssl communication. Client is supposed to verify files on any differences on ...
The Story After cleaning up my Dreamhost shared server's home folder from all the cruft accumulated over time, I decided to start afresh and compile/reinstall Python. All tutorials and snippets I found seemed overly simplistic, assuming (or ignoring) a bunch of dependencies needed by Python to compile all modules correctly. So, starting...
I'm working on my first real Django project after years of PHP programming, and I am running into a problem with my models. First, I noticed that I was copying and pasting code between the models, and being a diligent OO programmer I decided to make a parent class that the other models could inherit from: class Common(model.Model): ...
I'm seeing some additional items in sys.path which 1) don't exist and 2) cause problems with imports (specifically with Nose). Basically, I've created a package (lets call it foo) which I use in multiple projects. The project I'm working on at the moment can import everything from foo without issue, but when I run Nose I get import erro...

The API ships with both 64 and 32 DLLs/LIBs. I can succesfully load the DLL using ctypes.WinDLL('TheLibName') and call functions etc etc. However some functions were not ...

In this application, I want to silence all stdout/stderr from the console and redirect it to my GUI. To accomplish this purpose, I've written a specialized Tkinter.Text object (code at the end of the post). ...
I was wondering how Blippy is able to get my data? It requires me to put in my bank name, bank card number and password, so is it doing a simple website scrape by logging in? My bank, however also requires a seperate passphrase as well. How does it get around that? Can urllib and such libraries be used in Python to replicate Blippy fun...

I have read in many posts that global variables are bad, but I need them! My situation: I have few variables defined in a dedicated module which are updated every minute and are used by other modules in the application. (Implemented after reading this), Do you think its a good approach or needs any improvement or any better idea? Than...
Is it possible a lambda function to have variable number of arguments? For example, I want to write a metaclass, which creates a method for every method of some other class and this newly created method returns the opposite value of the original method and has the same number of arguments. And I want to do this with lambda function. How...
I'm have a problem sending data as a file from one end of a socket to the other. What's happening is that both the server and client are trying to read the file so the file never gets sent. I was wondering how to have the client block until the server's completed reading the file sent from the client. I have this working with raw packet...

I have a main thread that waits for connection. It spawns client threads that will echo the response from the client (telnet in this case). But say that I want to close down all sockets and all threads after some time, like after 1 connection. How would I do? If I do clientSocket.close() from the main thread, it won't stop doing the recv...
I am currently learning python in preperation for a class over the summer and have gotten started by implementing different types of heaps and priority based data structures.
