Looking at the source of urllib2 it looks like the easiest way to do it would be to subclass HTTPRedirectHandler and then use build_opener to override the default HTTPRedirectHandler, but this seems like a lot of (relatively complicated) work to do what seems like it should be pretty simple. ...

The reports must be returned either as a easily printable html document, or a pdf file. I have previously used jasper and iReport for creating the documents, but if I c...

Now that it's clear what a metaclass is, there is an associated concept that I use all the time without knowing what it really means. I suppose everybody made once a mistake with parenthesis, resulting in an "object is not callable" exception. What's more, using __init__ and __new__ lead to wonder what this bloody __call__ can be used...
I'm an avid programmer, and I like to learn new languages... I normally teach them myself. Python isn't a "MUST Learn" for me, but, as I work with Ubuntu, and a lot of their own code is now Python based, it'd be useful for me to learn, so that I can work with their code. I already know the basics of programming (and the advanced) and m ...

I've started programming more in OO style than ever (Python). Any good web resources I could read? I need help constructing and modelling objects, relations, interfaces etc. . Not only dry theory (I've read that), but something easy to grasp (examples would be nice), do you know any site or a good book? ...
I'm specifically looking for one that lets me display a map of US states with each one as it's own "object" in the sense that I can control the color, on click, and on mouseover of each one individually. GTK is my personal preference, but at this point I'd settle for just about anything. The application itself will be written in Python...
How would a go about making a program where the user enters a string, and the program generates a list of words beginning with that string? Ex: User: "abd" Program:abdicate, abdomen, abduct... Thanks! Edit: I'm using python, but I assume that this is a fairly language-independent problem. ...

I thought I heard that py2exe was able to do this, but I never figured it out. Has anyone successfully done this? Can I see your setup.py file, and what command line options you used?
