I want to use Python to make a configuration file generator. My roughly idea is feeding input with template files and some XML files with the real settings. Then use the program to generate the real configuration files. Example: [template file] server_IP = %serverip% server_name = %servername% [XML file] <serverinfo> <server ip="x....

Or should I just reconsider the syntax (which is p...
One of my django models has a large TextField which I often don't need to use. Is there a way to tell django to "lazy-load" this field? i.e. not to bother pulling it from the database unless I explicitly ask for it. I'm wasting a lot of memory and bandwidth pulling this TextField into python every time I refer to these objects. The al...
Hi, I need a data structure for doing 2d range counting queries (i.e. how many points are in a given rectangle). I think my best bet is range tree (it can count in log^2, or even log after some optimizations). Does it sound like a good choice? Does anybody know about a python implementation or will I have to write one myself? ...

In 2.6, if I needed to accept input that allowed a percent sign (such as "foo % bar"), I used raw_input() which worked as expected. In 3.0, input() accomplishes that same (with raw_input() having left the building). As an exercise, I'm hoping that I can have a backward-compatible version that will work with both 2.6 and 3.0. When I us...
