Using kill fails with Operation not permitted. Can I somehow modify my long running python script so that it'll recive a signal from another user? Obviously, t...
There appears to be many packages for getting/formatting the current date, or finding out the date n time intervals from now. But I must be overlooking the existence of a simple method to set the date (like Windows' date.exe) in Python. Surely such a function exists?

Being new to the python games I seem to have missed out on some knowledge on how you can develop on a program but also keep it in your live environment. Programs like gpodder can be run directly from the source checkout which is really handy however others want to be "installed" to run. A lot of programs are distributed with a setup.p...

Given a list of unsorted numbers, I want to find the smallest number larger than N (if any). In C#, I'd do something like this (checks omitted) : var x = list.Where(i => i > N).Min(); What's a short, READABLE way to do this in Python? ...

I'm looking for a virtual environment solution for Python applications and I would like something that respects these requirements: Windows and Linux works with x86/x64 Python versions easy to use/maintain Python 2.6-2.7 compatible and preferably even 3.x source control friendly - I want to keep the packages in SCM. So far I identif...

If I have a Python dictionary, how do I get the key to the entry which contains the minimum value? I was thinking about something to do with the min() function... Given the input: {320:1, 321:0, 322:3} It would return 321. Any ideas? Thanks! ...
Let's say I have this little piece of code: <?php $tmp = str_split('hello world!',2); // $tmp will now be: array('he','ll','o ','wo','rl','d!'); foreach($tmp AS &$a) { // some processing } unset($tmp); ?> How can I do this in Python v2.7?
