Dear stack overflow community, I've been given the task of overhauling a couple of websites for a large corporation I'm working for, as well as developing an internal intranet site for content management and document storage within the organization. My "problem" is this: They want me to use a framework/set of languages/technologies tha...
I'm investigating SUDS as a SOAP client for python. I want to inspect the methods available from a specified service, and the types required by a specified method. The aim is to generate a user interface, allowing users to select a method, then fill in values in a dynamically generated form. I can get some information on a particular ...
I would like to be able to drop to the python REPL from the debugger -- if this is not possible is there an easier way to evaluate python expressions in the context of the current breakpoint other than manually adding them all as watch expressions? ...

I have Python installed on Fedora as well as OpenGL however the minute I call an OpenGL command in my Python code I get a segmentation fault. I have no idea why this is. Just to avoid the "just use C" comments heres why I want to use Pyt...
I have been enjoying learning the basics of python, but before I started reading things I tried to install various python versions and modules clumsily. Now that I have some ideas of what I want to do and how to do it I'm finding that various aspects are broken. For instance, 2.6 IDLE won't launch, and when I try to import modules they u...

This is a question I have wondered about for quite some time, yet I have never found a suitable solution. If I run a script and I come across, let's say an IndexError, python prints the line, location and quick description of the error and exits. Is it possible to automatically start pdb when an error is encountered? I am not against hav...
Has anyone heard whether there is another version of Core Python Programming coming out that will focust on Python 3000? ...
Emacs does not recognize my correct python path. I think it is a general problem with emacs not recognizing my environment variables. I have GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-apple-darwin8.9.1, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2007-06-17 installed. I have set the PYTHONPATH in my ~/.bashrc. Maybe I should set it somewhere else? ...
Hi guys, I want to check our google postions for several keywords every day and make a note in a spreadseet. At the moment, we have a student doing it but it's a rubbish job and it doesn't seem fair on them! Are there any tools available to automate this process? I have tried rankchecker by seobook.com, but although that should be exac...
I have written a CGI script that creates an image dynamically using GET data. To include this image in my webpage, I am using the following code: <img src="image.py?text=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"> The problem is that I expect in the future the "text" field will get very long and the URL will become too large. From Googling around there doesn't ...
Is there a way to get the Unicode Block of a character in python? The unicodedata module doesn't seem to have what I need, and I couldn't find an external library for it. Basically, I need the same functionality as Character.UnicodeBlock.of() in java. ...
Is there a library method to copy all the properties between two (already present) instances of the same class, in Python? I mean, something like Apache Commons' PropertyUtilsBean.copyProperties() Thanks! ...
I want to create a list of integers from 1 to n. I can do this in Python using range(1, n+1), and in Haskell using: take n (iterate (1+) 1). What is the right OCaml idiom for this? ...
I have two iterators, a list and an itertools.count object (i.e. an infinite value generator). I would like to merge these two into a resulting iterator that will alternate yield values between the two: >>> import itertools >>> c = itertools.count(1) >>> items = ['foo', 'bar'] >>> merged = imerge(items, c) # the mythical "imerge" >>> m...
I'm getting started with python, eclipse and pydev. Which Eclipse package should I choose? Nothing on the eclipse homepage tells me what to choose and python documentation assumes I have eclipse installed. Does which package I choose matter? ...
I started off programming in Basic on the ZX81, then BASICA, GW-BASIC, and QBasic. I moved on to C (Ah, Turbo C 3.1, I hardly knew ye...) When I got started in microcontrollers I regressed with the BASIC Stamp from Parallax. However, BASIC is/was awesome because it was so easy to understand and so hard to make a mistake. I moved on t...
Imagine I have these python lists: keys = ['name', 'age'] values = ['Monty', 42, 'Matt', 28, 'Frank', 33] Is there a direct or at least a simple way to produce the following list of dictionaries ? [ {'name': 'Monty', 'age': 42}, {'name': 'Matt', 'age': 28}, {'name': 'Frank', 'age': 33} ] ...
Because I need to display a huge number of labels that move independently, I need to render a label in pyglet to a texture (otherwise updating the vertex list for each glyph is too slow). I have a solution to do this, but my problem is that the texture that contains the glyphs is black, but I'd like it to be red. See the example below: ...
I'm planning to write gateway web application, which would need "terminal window" with VT100/ANSI escape code support. Are there any AJAX based alternatives for such a task? I'm thinking something like this: http://tryruby.hobix.com/ My preferred backend for the system is Python/Twisted/Pylons, but since I'm just planning, I will explo...
