I have a fair number of Python scripts that contain reusable code that are used and referenced by other Python scripts. However, these scripts tend to be scattered across different directories and I find it to be somewhat tedious to have to include (most often multiple) calls to sys.path.append on my top-level scripts. I just want to pro...

Hello, I want to parse an Apache access.log file with a python program in a certain way, and though I am completely new to object-oriented programming, I want to start doing it now. I am going to create a class ApacheAccessLog, and the only thing I can imagine now, it will be doing is 'readline' method. Is it conventionally correct to i...
Is it possible to perform a named-group match in Perl's regex syntax as with Python's? I always bind the $n values to proper names after matching, so I'd find it more convenient to do it in the regex itself if it's possible. Python does it like so: >>> import re >>> regex = re.compile(r'(?P<count>\d+)') >>> match = regex.match('42') >>...
I'm making a program that retrieves decently large amounts of data through a python socket and then immediately disconnects when the information is finished sending. But I'm not sure how to do this All the examples on the web are of tcp clients where they have while 1: data = sock.recv(1024) But this creates a look to infinite loo...

I've got mssql 2005 running on my personal computer with a database I'd like to run some python scripts on. I'm looking for a way to do some really simple access on the data. I'd like to run some select statements, process the data and maybe have python save a text file with the results. Unfortunately, even though I know a bit about pyt...
Hello, I would want to do something like: >>> lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] >>> lst.find(lambda x: x % 2 == 0) 2 >>> lst.findall(lambda x: x % 2 == 0) [2, 4] Is there anything even nearing such behavior in Python's standard libraries ? P.S. I know it's very easy to roll-your-own here, but I'm looking for a more standartized way ...
This is a follow-up to two questions I asked a week or so back. The upshot of those was that I was building a prototype of an AI-based application for the web, and I wondered what language(s) to use. The conclusion seemed to be that I should go for something like python and then convert any critical bits into something faster like Java o...

So I set it up like this: default_data = {'first_name','greg'} form1=ContactForm(default_data) However now when I go ...
Is it possible for a python script to open its own source file and overwrite it? The idea was to have a very simple and very dirty way for a python script to download an update of itself so that the next time it is run it would be an updated version. ...
I would like my python script to search through a directory in SVN, locate the files ending with a particular extension (eg. *.exe), and copy these files to a directory that has been created in my C drive. How can I do this? I'm new to Python so a detailed response and/or point in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Fol...
When A Python exception is thrown by code that spans multiple lines, e.g.: myfoos = [foo("bar", "baz", "quux", i) for i in range(10)] Python will report the line number of the last line, and will show the code fragment from that line: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test....
I have a huge text file (~1GB) and sadly the text editor I use won't read such a large file. However, if I can just split it into two or three parts I'll be fine, so, as an exercise I wanted to write a program in python to do it. What I think I want the program to do is to find the size of a file, divide that number into parts, and f...
