Question is: what is the right way to do it...

Is there anything in python that lets me dump out a random object in such a way as to see its underlying data representation? I am coming from Perl where Data::Dumper does a reasonable job of letting me see how a data structure is laid out. Is there anything that does the same thing in python? Thanks! ...

I have the following python modules. Sorry if the code is ugly. This is my first python GUI app and I'm fairly new to python as well. It's some sort of a count down timer with a todo list. It works kinda well except that after two minutes after running the program, it crashes with the following error: Pango:ERROR:/build/buildd/pango1.0-...
How can I check if the first element of the list (below) is a number (using some sort of regular expression) in python: temp = ['1', 'abc', 'XYZ', 'test', '1'] Many thanks. ...
What is the best way to determine how many models of a certain kind are in my app's datastore? The documentation says that MyKind.all().count() is only marginally better than retrieving all of the data, and has a limit of 1000. This is not helpful, because I am expecting to have 6000+ instances of MyKind stored. Is there a better way to...
I'm using the Python GAE SDK. I have some processing that needs to be done on 6000+ instances of MyKind. It is too slow to be done in a single request, so I'm using the task queue. If I make a single task process only one entity, then it should take only a few seconds. The documentation says that only 100 tasks can be added in a "batc...
