Hi everyone. This question is in continuation to my previous question, in which I asked about passing around an ElementTree. I need to read the XML files only and to solve this, I decided to create a global ElementTree and then parse it wherever required. My question is: Is this an acceptable practice? I heard global variables are ba...
Given two vectors X and Y, I have to find their correlation, i.e. their linear dependence/independence. Both vectors have equal dimension. The result should be a floating point number from [-1.0 .. 1.0]. Example: X=[-1, 2, 0] Y=[ 4, 2, -0.3] Find y = cor(X,Y) such that y belongs to [-1.0 .. 1.0]. It should be a simple construct...
Hello, In brief, I am trying to call into a shared library from python, more specifically, from numpy. The shared library is implemented in C using sse2 instructions. Enabling optimisation, i.e. building the library with -O2 or –O1, I am facing strange segfaults when calling into the shared library via ctypes. Disabling optimisation (-O...
I wanted to make my own encryption algorithm and decryption algorithm , encryption algorithm works fine and converts ascii value of the characters into alternate hexadecimal and octal representations. But when I tried decryption, problem occured as it return int('0671') = 671, as 0671 is string type in the following code. Is there a meth...
Can someone explain why Python does the following? >>> class Foo(object): ... bar = [] ... >>> a = Foo() >>> b = Foo() >>> a.bar.append(1) >>> b.bar [1] >>> a.bar = 1 >>> a.bar 1 >>> b.bar [1] >>> a.bar = [] >>> a.bar [] >>> b.bar [1] >>> del a.bar >>> a.bar [1] It's rather confusing! ...
I need to replace all the white(ish) pixels in a PNG image with alpha transparency. I'm using Python in AppEngine and so do not have access to libraries like PIL, imagemagick etc. AppEngine does have an image library, but is pitched mainly at image resizing. I found the excellent little pyPNG module and managed to knock up a little fun...

I have a python program that imports pythoncom (and uses pythoncom.CoCreateInstance from it). I want to create a unittest for the program logic without it importing pythoncom (so I can run the test on Linux as well). What options are there? Can I do it without modifying the system under test? What I found so far: sys.modules["pythonco...
Possible Duplicate: Python Ternary Operator If Python would support the (x ? a : b) syntax from C/C++, I would write: print paid ? ("paid: " + str(paid) + " €") : "not paid" I really don't want to have an if-check and two independent prints here (because that is only an example above, in my code, it looks much more complica...

When you write an application using Qt, it can be run in different operating systems. And - correct me if I'm wrong - you don't need to have Qt already installed in all of the plataforms you execute your application. How exactly this approach works? Does Qt compiles to the desired platform, does it bundle some "dlls" (libs), how does it...

When I enter in python in Terminal it loads up Python 2.6.2. However there are folders by the name of Python 2.6 in different places on my drive. I'm not sure if that's because Python 2.6 has been installed in different places or because Python just likes to have lots of folers in different places. If there are multiple installations, I...
