How can I poll the keyboard from a console python app? Specifically, I would like to do something akin to this in the midst of a lot of other I/O activities (socket selects, serial port access, etc.): while 1: # doing amazing pythonic embedded stuff # ... # periodically do a non-blocking check to see if # we...
I have the following regex expression to match html links: <a\s*href=['|"](http:\/\/(.*?)\S['|"]> it kind of works. Except not really. Because it grabs everything after the < a href... and just keeps going. I want to exclude the quote characters from that last \S match. Is there any way of doing that? EDIT: This would make it grab on...

I'm writing a simple program that's going to parse a logfile of a packet dump from wireshark into a more readable form. I'm doing this with python. Currently I'm stuck on this part: for i in range(len(linelist)): if '### SERVER' in linelist[i]: #do server parsing stuff packet = linelist[i:find("\n\n", i, len(linelist))] linelist i...
I need to sanitize HTML submitted by the user by closing any open tags with correct nesting order. I have been looking for an algorithm or Python code to do this but haven't found anything except some half-baked implementations in PHP, etc. For example, something like <p> <ul> <li>Foo becomes <p> <ul> <li>Foo</li> </ul...
I want to automate several tasks (eg. simulate eclipse style ctrl-shift-r open dialog for other editors). The general pattern is: the user will press some key combination, my program will detect it and potentially pop up a dialog to get user input, and then run a corresponding command, typically by running an executable. My target envir...

Some googling for variations of "PHP Unpa...

Hi, I am searching for an open-source implementation of an UPnP client in Python, and more specifically of its Internet Gateway Device (IGD) part. For now, I have only been able to find UPnP Media Server implementations, in projects such as PyMediaServer, PyMedS, BRisa or Coherence. I am sure I could use those code bases as a start, b...

I have a few model classes with basic one-to-many relationships. For example, a book has many recipes, and each recipe has many ingredients: class Book(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=64) class Recipe(models.Model): book = models.ForeignKey(Book) name = models.CharField(max_length=64) class Ingredient(mo...
I've explored python for several years, but now I'm slowly learning how to work with c. Using the python documentation, I learned how to extend my python programs with some c, since this seemed like the logical way to start playing with it. My question now is how to distribute a program like this. I suppose the heart of my question is...

I have a port scanning application that uses work queues and threads, it uses simple TCP connections and spends a lot of time waiting for packets to come back (up to half a second). Thus the threads don't need to fully execute (i.e. first half sends a packet, context switch, does stuff, comes back to thread which has network data waiting...
