I've never used SOAP before and I'm sort of new to Python. I'm doing this to get myself acquainted with both technologies. I've installed SOAPlib and I've tried to read their Client documentation, but I don't understand it too well. Is there anything else I can look into which is more suited for being a SOAP Client library for Python?...
I want to create a model, that will set editable=False on creation, and editable=True on editing item. I thought it should be something like this: home = models.ForeignKey(Team, editable=lambda self: True if self.id else False) But it doesn't work. Maybe something with overriding the init can help me, but i don't sure what can do th...
The following seems strange.. Basically, the somedata attribute seems shared between all the classes that inherited from the_base_class. class the_base_class: somedata = {} somedata['was_false_in_base'] = False class subclassthing(the_base_class): def __init__(self): print self.somedata first = subclassthing(...
Hello I am interested in getting some Python code talking to some Ruby code on Windows, Linux and possibly other platforms. Specificlly I would like to access classes in Ruby from Python and call their methods, access their data, create new instances and so on. An obvious way to do this is via something like XML-RPC or maybe CORBA but ...
What is the best method to scrape a dynamic website where most of the content is generated by what appears to be ajax requests? I have previous experience with a Mechanize, BeautifulSoup, and python combo, but I am up for something new. --Edit-- For more detail: I'm trying to scrape the CNN primary database.

Hey, I'm writing some code in python and I'm having trouble when trying to retrieve content of an Entry widget. The thing is: I want to limit the characters that can be typed, so I'm trying to clear the Entry widget when I reach the specific number of characters (2 in this case), but it looks like I always miss the last typed character....
Is there any meaningful distinction between: class A(object): foo = 5 # some default value vs. class B(object): def __init__(self, foo=5): self.foo = foo If you're creating a lot of instances, is there any difference in performance or space requirements for the two styles? When you read the code, do you consider t...
Trying to implement a progress dialog window for file uploads that look like a cross between IE download dialog and Firefox download dialog with a python GUI library on Windows. What asynchronous (S)FTP libraries are there for python? Ideally I should be able to do file upload resumes and track the progress of each parallel file upload...
How can I get a list of the IP addresses or host names from a local network easily in Python? It would be best if it was multi-platform, but it needs to work on Mac OS X first, then others follow. Edit: By local I mean all active addresses within a local network, such as 192.168.xxx.xxx. So, if the IP address of my computer (within th...
I've been wondering about how hard it would be to write some Python code to search a string for the index of a substring of the form ${expr}, for example, where expr is meant to be a Python expression or something resembling one. Given such a thing, one could easily imagine going on to check the expression's syntax with compile(), evalu...
Why did you start using Python? I was using Perl for my programming needs, and was often frustrated. I hated reading other people's Perl code and basically would often result to re-writting entire functions rather than trying to debug someone else's code. Also, coming back to code I'd written months before was a headache. (admittidl...
I've recently been given a group of five 16/17 year old students to mentor through a extra-curricular software project. The only trouble is, they have never done any form of coding / scripting. This in itself makes me feel nervous. After much agonising I settled on getting them to use Python as its free and there appears to be a lot of u...
I recently saw an announcement and article outlining the release of the first Python 3.0 release candidate. I was wondering whether there were any commercial, free, open source etc. IDE's that support its syntax. ...
pdb and winpdb both seem to be missing this essential (to me) feature. I saw something suggesting WingIDE has it but I'd prefer a solution that is free, and if I do have to pay, I'd prefer to pay for something that is better than Wing. ...
