My Django app displays data from a database. This data changes without user intervention, i.e. behind the scenes. Whenever it changes, I would like the webpage to update the changed sections without a full page reload. Obviously AJAX springs to mind. When the page is loaded initially (or manually, fully re-loaded later on), the rendered...

I'm looking for a pure Python library to help put together SVG images. It doesn't need to be fast. I know pySVG exists, but I'm not interested in a GPL library (and I can't use GPL libraries for this particular project). Basic SVG elements aren't especially complicated, so I suppose I could roll my own, but I'd rather participate in a...

Are there ...

I'v managed to install python2.6 along side of python2.5. Now I'm trying to install wxPython for 2.6 from the repos but I can't get it to install it for python2.6 rather than 2.5. Is there so...
I wish to take a file encoded in UTF-8 that doesn't use more than 128 different characters, then move it to a 7-bit encoding to save the 1/8 of space. For example, if I have a 16 MB text file that only uses the first 128(ascii) characters, I would like to shave off the extra bit to reduce the file to 14MB. How would I go about doing thi...
I know that you can use the Python shell in Vi mode on Unix-like operating systems. For example, I have this line in my ~/.inputrc: set editing-mode vi This lets me use Vi-style editing inside the Python shell. But can this be made to work when using Python on a Windows XP box? I'm using the pre-built Python for Windows downloaded di...

I've got a pre-existing spreadsheet hosted on google docs. Each month I update this document. I've got a template workseet in the spreadseet that I'd like to clone and then update.
