I can easily do it with Tkinter. import Tkinter as tk import tkFont root = tk.Tk() canvas = tk.Canvas(root, width=300, height=200) canvas.pack() (x,y) = (5,5) text = "yellow world" fonts ...
Python 3.0 came out at the beginning of December 2008, but I've recently been encountering a fair number of libraries that use C extensions/components and seem like they're commonly used but have not yet had versions created for 3.0+. With some of them, it's simply been a matter of development having stalled or stopped for various reason...
I have a string read in from a binary file that is unpacked using struct.unpack as a string of length n. Each byte in the string is a single integer (1-byte) representing 0-255. So for each character in the string I want to convert it to an integer. I can't figure out how to do this. Using ord doesn't seem to be on the right track......

I've been googling and reading, but I'm just getting confused. Most of the sites I'm looking at explain how to use Python eggs that were already cr...
Using GDAL in Python, how do you get the latitude and longitude of a GeoTIFF file? GeoTIFF's do not appear to store any coordinate information. Instead, they store the XY Origin coordinates. However, the XY coordinates do not provide the latitude and longitude of the top left corner and bottom left corner. It appears I will need to d...

What is a correct way to pickle an object from a class with slots, when this object references itself through one of its attributes? Here is a simple example, with my current implementation, which I'm not sure is 100 % correct: import weakref import pickle class my_class(object): __slots__ = ('an_int', 'ref_to_self', '__weakref__...

Hi guys, I'm trying to find some sort of a good, fuzzy string matching algorithm. Direct matching doesn't work for me — this isn't too good because unless my strings are a 100% similar, the match fails. The Levenshtein method doesn't work too well for strings as it works on a character level. I was looking for something along the lines ...
