So I have a directory that contains my Python unit test. Each unit test module is of the form "test_*.py". I am attempting to make a file called "all_test.py" that will, you guessed it, run all files in aforementioned test form and return the result.

I'm looking for an excuse to learn Django for a new project that has come up. Typically I like to build RESTful server-side interfaces where a URL maps to resources that spits out data in some platform independent context, such as XML or JSON.

So here's the problem. I have sample.gz file which is roughly 60KB in size. I want to decompress the first 2000 bytes off this file.

For example, this is a lex specification for the ANSI C programming language: http://www.quut.com/c/ANSI-C-grammar-l-1998.html FYI, I am trying to write code highlighting into a Cocoa application. Regex won't do it because I also want grammar parsing to fold code...
I am having an issue with an embedded 64bit Python instance not liking PIL. Before i start exhausting more methods to get a compiled image editor to read the pixels for me (such as ImageMagick) i am hoping perhaps anyone here can think of a purely Python solution that will be comparable in speeds to the compiled counterparts. Now i am a...

After that, I tried to add this text to a MySQL table with UTF-8 character set a...

There's some documentation and a tiny Wikipedia article describing the high-level properties of the sort and some low-level performance evaluations, but I was curious if anybody can pro...
