I ask this because there seems to be a few more jobs available (at least by telecommute) in RoR. If an employer sees significant Python/Django experience on a resume, would it be plausible to believe that the developer would be able quickly learn Rails? ...
For practice, I'm trying to do some stuff in Python. I've decided to make a simple hangman game - I'm not making a GUI. The game would start with a simple input(). Now, I'd like next line to, beside asking for input, to delete the hidden word. I've tried using \b (backspace character), but it's not working. Something like: word = input(...

I have Python 2.6 & 3.1 installed on Leopard via mac ports with no problems. I want to install Django 1.2 via mac ports for Python 2.6, but a google search of how to do it seems to point me in the wrong direction. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks again..... ...
I have an implicit function, for example: f(x,y) = x**y + y**y - 3*x I want to solve the root on a meshgrid. So f(x,y) = 0 Drawing the solution is easy: x = linspace(-2,2,11) y = linspace(-2,2,11) (X,Y) = meshgrid(x,y) A = X**Y + Y**Y - 3*X contour(X,Y,A,0) This works great, I have a drawing of the curve I need, however I would l...
Hi! I got this list looking something like this words = ['how', 'much', 'is[br]', 'the', 'fish[br]', 'no', 'really'] What I would like is to replace the [br] with some fantastic value similar to <br /> and thus getting a new list looking like this words = ['how', 'much', 'is<br />', 'the', 'fish<br />', 'no', 'really'] I've labora...
Hello, I would like to do the following: import StringIO, uu my_data = StringIO.StringIO() # this is a file-like object uu.encode(in_file, my_data) # do stuff with my data (send over network) uu.decode(my_data, out_file) # here I finally write to disk The above code works. However, if I implement the previous step as a property in an...
All the stuff I am seeing points me towards writing clients. ...
I have one y variable, which I am trying to plot against two related x axes, on the top and bottom of the figure (e.g. y="number of things in cube", x1="side length of cube", x2="volume of cube"). I have y, x1, x2 in numpy arrays. The relationship between my x1 and x2 is one-to-one and monotonic, but not simple, and they increase in diff...
Currently I am using this: def _get_mac_ver(): import subprocess p = subprocess.Popen(['sw_vers', '-productVersion'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) stdout, stderr = p.communicate() return stdout.strip() Is there a better version (eg: by using built-in Python API)? >>> print _get_mac_ver() 10.6.3 Note: I tried os.uname()[2...
I want to pass all the arguments passed to a function(func1) as arguments to another function(func2) inside func1 This can be done with *args, *kwargs in the called func1 and passing them down to func2, but is there another way, Orignially def func1(*args, **kwargs): func2(*args, **kwargs) but if my func1 signature is def func1...
I have a wxPython application which allows the users to select items from menus that then change what is visible on the screen. This often requires a recalculation of the layout of panels. I'd like to be able to call the layout of all the children of a panel (and the children of those children) in reverse order. That is, the items wit...
My Case: I'm working on a system that will need to create various X12 files for health care (insurance) transactions and inquiries (Specifically 270 Eligibility and 837 Claim). I know there are good tools out there (pyx12 specifically) for converting between XML and X12, and actually I've gone as far as importing some components from ...
I have a list of users that only administrators can see (= few reads). This list also displays a count of the number of users in the datastore. Because the list could grow larger than 1000 my first thought was to avoid a normal count() and instead use a sharded counter. However, the problem is that the admins also have access to various...
While trying to send form with image field in it I'm getting : Exception Type: OSError at /user/register/ Exception Value: (13, 'Permission denied') Of course first thing I've checked were the permissions to my folders, and just in case set them to 777 on the whole path from '/'. Still nothing. So I've tried adding parameters to setting...

I want to make sure that the selected tab will have different background color when page is loaded. Which is a best way to do it? JavaScript/CSS/Direc...
This tutorial on using GObject in Python only covers using a property of type gobject.TYPE_FLOAT. I've adapted it to use an enumerated type: import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gobject FUEL_NONE = 0 FUEL_SOME = 1 FUEL_FULL = 2 class Car(gobject.GObject): __gproperties__ = { 'fuel' : (gobject.TYPE_ENUM, ...
Take the following example: >>> for item in [i * 2 for i in range(1, 10)]: print item 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 Is [i * 2 for i in range(1, 10)] computed every time through the loop, or just once and stored? (Also, what is the proper name for that part of the expression?) One reason I would want to do this is that I only want the ...
What I would like to do, is create a folder, where people can put in a file for testing, and have pyunit automatically expand in order to run the test as a separate test. Currently, what I'm doing is: class TestName(unittest.testcase): def setUp(self): for file in os.listdir(DIRECTORY): # Setup Tests def te...
