I just found out the existence of the optparse module. I personally always used getopt, so I did not care to look for something better. It's clear, however, that optparse is much more advanced, so I would expect it to be the preferred way in the future to get options from the command line. Anyway, this event struck me. I am now wonderin...
I have a Pylons-based web application which connects via Sqlalchemy (v0.5) to a Postgres database. For security, rather than follow the typical pattern of simple web apps (as seen in just about all tutorials), I'm not using a generic Postgres user (e.g. "webapp") but am requiring that users enter their own Postgres userid and password, ...
I need to populate my database with a bunch of dummy entries (around 200+) so that I can test the admin interface I've made and I was wondering if there was a better way to do it. I spent the better part of my day yesterday trying to fill it in by hand (i.e by wrapping stuff like this my_model(title="asdfasdf", field2="laksdj"...) in a b...
Django-survey or django-questionnaire is too admin-centric for me (beside tied to django). I want my user to create their own survey. Something like Google Form survey (view example), where form creation feels fluid and intuitive (because of js magic). I've googling around with no luck. Is there any python-based survey app/library/pack...
I need a list with the following behavior >>> l = SparseList() >>> l [] >>> l[2] = "hello" >>> l [ None, None, "hello"] >>> l[5] None >>> l[4] = 22 >>> l [ None, None, "hello", None, 22] >>> len(l) 5 >>> for i in l: print i None None "hello" None 22 Although it can "emulated" via a dictionary, it's not exactly the same. numpy array ca...

DICTA={'bw':['BW','VW'],'b':['BB','VV'],'a':['AA']} DICTB={'yn':['$YN','$YNN'],'ye':['$YE','A$Y'],'y':['Y$']} How to extract every possible values of that 2 Dict to ["BWYN","VWYN","BBYN","VVYN","AAYN","BWYNN","VWYNN","BBYNN","VVYNN","AAYNN", "BWYE","VWYE","BBYE","VVYE","AAYE","ABWY","AVWY","ABBY","AVVY","AAAY", "YBW","YVW","YBB","YVV"...
Are there any Python libraries that help parse and validate numeric strings beyond what is supported by the built-in float() function? For example, in addition to simple numbers (1234.56) and scientific notation (3.2e15), I would like to be able to parse formats like: Numbers with commas: 2,147,483,647 Named large numbers: 5.5 billion ...
The following code binds specified ip address to socket in main program globally. import socket true_socket = socket.socket def bound_socket(*a, **k): sock = true_socket(*a, **k) sock.bind((sourceIP, 0)) return sock socket.socket = bound_socket Suppose main program has 10 threads, each with a urllib2 instance running insid...
I am building a Python application and I have a class with a lot of functions (more than 20). I'm developing it using Eclipse with PyDev. While the general interface is good, I have the problem of managing the placement of functions. I need to add/delete or change the placement of functions in the source to group similar functions togeth...
I know that NLTK has this. But...is that only for NLP? Is there a library that specializes in classification? ...
This is a piece of my code. Lambda accepts 3 parameters, and I wanted to pass them as a tuple of positional arguments, but apparently map supplies them as a single argument. How can I supply those tuples in the bottom as lists of arguments? (I know I can rewrite the lambda, but it will become not well readable) adds = map((lambda j, f...
I'm building a Django app, which I comfortably run (test :)) on a Ubuntu Linux host. I would like to package the app without source code and distribute it to another production machine. Ideally the app could be run by ./runapp command which starts a CherryPy server that runs the python/django code. I've discovered several ways of doing ...
I've created a python script in which an event needs to be executed each time I press the Super (or WinKey) on my keyboard. How can one achieve this without the python process being "focused" - as it is running in the background waiting for the key to be pressed to execute the event? I've seen a lot of posts around the web showing me h...
Hi, I wanted to know if there are any built-in ways to continue to next iteration in outer loop in python. For example, consider the code: for ii in range(200): for jj in range(200, 400): ...block0... if something: continue ...block1... I want this continue statement to exit the jj loop and goto ...
Im currently working on a Python/Pygame module to wrap some basic sprite animation. Animation in the sense that the image itself is static but I apply rotation and scale with start and end values with a sine wave interpolation. That is, sprite transformation like the ones that could be made in Flash. I hope you understand, otherwise feel...

I would like to use buildout rather than virtualenv. This decision means that I don't want virtualenv to be snuck into my kit, so I am looking for either a way to tell gp.recipe.pip not to install the virtualenv meme virus, or, a way to install packages from git repos for use with django/djangorecipe. Ideas? ...
I see the function SerializeAsString in the protobuf Python documentation, but like this suggests, this gives me a string version of the binary data. Is there a way of serializing and parsing a binary array of protobuf data using Python? We have a C++ application that stores the protobuf messages as binary data in a file. We'd like to r...
I've been looking for a way to tell clients about expired objects and AppEngine's XMPP implementation seems really interesting because it's scalable, should be reliable and can contain up to 100kb of data. But as I understand it, before a client can listen to messages, he should have a gmail account. That's very impractical. Is there ...
