I've tried doing this using Python + ElementTree...

I have a website I am looking to stay updated with and scrape some content from there every day. I know the site is updated manually at a certain time, and I've set cron schedules to reflect this, but since it is updated manually it could be 10 or even 20 minutes later. Right now I have a hack-ish cron update every 5 minutes, but I'd li...
I'd like to know the best way (more compact and "pythonic" way) to do a special treatment for the last element in a for loop. There is a piece of code that should be called only between elements, being suppressed in the last one. Here is how I currently do it: for i, data in enumerate(data_list): code_that_is_done_for_every_element ...

I guess I'm stuck with the command line... Any...

If you have a QImage wrapped inside a QLabel, is it possible to scale it up or down when you resize the window and maintain the aspect ratio (so the image doesn't become distorted)? I figured out that it can scale using setScaledContents(), and you can set a minimum and maximum size, but the image still loses its aspect. It would be gr...
I'm working on a new Django project, and the client wants to "feature" content on the homepage and a few other sections of the website. Content in this case could be a blog post, an event, a news story, etc. Each item would have a "start featuring" datetime and an "stop featuring" datetime. I've done this a few different ways in the pa...

Hi, I have been writing Python code for only a couple of weeks, so I'm still figuring out the lay of the land. But let's say I have a method that MAY be called on by a 'user' on occasion as well as used HEAVILY internally (ie, the arguments have already been checked before the call). Here is what I am currently doing: #The method the '...
Is there a one-liner to read all the lines of a file in Python, rather than the standard: f = open('x.txt') cts = f.read() f.close() Seems like this is done so often that there's got to be a one-liner. Any ideas? ...
