I need to do some extensive searching and string comparisons and for this I figure that a compiled program is much better than an interpreted ones especially after seeing some comparison studies. I came across ParallelPython which was beautiful. It has autodiscovery for clusters and can pretty much do all the load balancing for me as wel...
How can a pie chart be drawn with Matplotlib with a first wedge that starts at noon (i.e. on the top of the pie)? The default is for pyplot.pie() to place the first edge at three o'clock, and it would be great to be able to customize this. ...
Hello all! I am new to python (and this site); I am trying to write a script that will use a regular expression to search through a given file to find a name. I have to print out the different ways the name was capitalized and how many times the name was found. My current code will just print out my first flag and then hang. I don't know...
Hi all, I'm new to Python, so I was wondering how would I extract buffer to convert the whole buffer into one integer from a Structure object with the code defined below g = 12463 h = 65342 i = 94854731 j = 9000 class Blah(Structure): _fields_ = [ ("a", ctypes.c_int32, 17), ("b", ctypes.c_int32, 19),...
I'm doing some largish scale data processing with nltk. In doing so we iterate through 2-3000 files sitting on the server, reading through them all, making changes, and closing them out. This is all handled via Celery tasks. The only problem is that we often find ourselves encountering this: IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error A qui...

I'm adapting the following code (created via advice in this question), that took an XML file and it's DTD and converted them to a different format. For this problem only the loading section is important: xmldoc = open(filename) parser = etree.XMLParser(dtd_validation=True, load_dtd=True) tree = etree.parse(xmldoc, parser) This wo...
Hi, I'm trying to test if the extra_context provided by the user was correctly processed in the view. Here is my test approach: # tests.py (of course it's a part of TestCase class) def test_should_use_definied_extra_context(self): response = self.client.get(reverse('contact_question_create'), { 'extra_context': {'foo': 'ba...
I'm trying to test sent signal and it's providing_args. Signal triggered inside contact_question_create view just after form submission.

Is it possible to generate a SHA-256 hash using M2Crypto? Python 2.4's SHA module doesn't support 256, so I started using PyCrypto, only to find out that PyCrypto doesn't support PKCS#5 (needed elsewhere in my project.) I switched to M2Crypto as a result and now I would like to replace my PyCrypto SHA-256 call with an M2Crypto equivale...

I have a Python script which uses a glade file to define its UI, and has a lot of repetitive widgets, each one to adjust a different numerical attribute of a certain active object. Since it is repetitive, I decided to define all the handlers in a separate file for encapsulation and readability. Here are some code excerpts: The main file...
