I've been developing in .NET now for about 3 years. I love the visual studio IDE and sadly I won't be able to use it anymore. Could someone save me hours of searching the web and reading reviews, and suggest the 'standard' or most popular IDE/Text editor for linux that will get me up and running quickly? My main goals here are web deve...
Background: Standard RIT computer engineering student. Took computer science courses (Java, then C++). I spend a lot of time on tech sites, so I constantly hear about scripting languages like Python, Perl, and Ruby. Besides them being scripting languages, I basically don't know anything else about them. I have a lot of experience in...

Generally it works good, but I don't know how to get diff for m2m fields. At the moment I have something like this: def pre_save(sender, **kwargs): pk = kwar...
I'm using Python 2.5 on Linux, in multiple parallel FCGI processes. I use chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits cookie = ''.join([random.choice(chars) for x in range(32)]) to generate distinct cookies. Assuming that the RNG is seeded from /dev/urandom, and that the sequence of random numbers comes from the Mersenne twis...
From django's documentation, I became under the impression that calling: request.session.set_expiry(300) from one view would cause the session to expire after five minutes inactivity; however, this is not the behavior that I'm experiencing in django trunk. If I call this method from one view, and browse around to other views that don'...

I want to download a list of web pages. I know wget can do this. However downloading every URL in every five minutes and save them to a folder seems beyond the capability of wget. Does anyone knows some tools either in java or python or Perl which accomplishes the task? Thanks in advance. ...

Hello everyone, I would like to read a website asynchronously, which isnt possible with urllib as far as I know. Now I tried reading with with plain sockets, but HTTP is giving me hell. I run into all kind of funky encodings, for example transfer-encoding: chunked, have to parse all that stuff manually, and I feel like coding C, not pyt...

Hello. I've found a strange issue with subclassing and dictionary updates in New-Style Classes: Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> class a(object): ... def __init__(self, props={}): ... self.props = props ... >>> class b(a): ... def __init__(self, val = None): .....
I was wondering if there are any ways to simplify the following piece of Code. As you can see, there are numerous dicts being used as well as condition statements to weed out bad input data. Note that the trip rate values are not all inputed yet, the dicts are just copied and pasted for now EDIT In any of the rates, (x,y):z . x and y a...
I want to mimic a Python functionality in Java. In Python if I want unique characters in a string I can do just, text = "i am a string" print set(text) # o/p is set(['a', ' ', 'g', 'i', 'm', 'n', 's', 'r', 't']) How can I do this in Java trivially or directly? ...

At this point in my development I want to begin integrating unit testing and I've discovered unit testing a view to be tricky because of the way that django implements views with functions. For example, each function is a view/page in django if t...
