I know the obvious answer is to use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, but for various reasons I can't/don't want to do that. So how do I modify this command: pip install package_name to make pip install the package somewhere other than the default site-packages? ...

Do I just: Put the argparse.py file along with my project. That is, in the tar file for my project. Create a package for it for my distro? Tell t...
Yesterday I had to parse a very simple binary data file - the rule is, look for two bytes in a row that are both 0xAA, then the next byte will be a length byte, then skip 9 bytes and output the given amount of data from there. Repeat to the end of the file. My solution did work, and was very quick to put together (even though I am a C p...

I want to use the credentials of the logged-in Windows user to authenticate an SMTP connection to an Exchange server using NTLM. I'm aware of the python-ntlm module and the two patches that enable NTLM authentication for SMTP, however I want to use the current user's security token and not have to supply a username and password.

I'm trying deploy a Python application on Windows as a folder that includes a full python 2.6 folder. I don't need/want a fancy solution like py2exe, I'm just trying to automate deployment of a web application.

I'm trying to build a Friendly URL lookup method in GAE and Python. Have anyone done this? I've got it working but it feels VERY shaky. How it works is that it takes the path (let's say /foo/bar/) and splits it to a list. Takes the last element in the list and query the database for a match. Now comes some headaches. If there is more ...

I like the incredible transparency (lack of magic), the built-in components they selected (sqlalchemy, formencode, routes), and the ability to easily change things up (use a different ORM or templating engine). Moving forwa...

If there's some freeware out there which will do the ...
