I am trying to design the package and module system for a programming language (Heron) which can be both compiled and interpreted, and from what I have seen I really like the Python approach. Python has a rich choice of modules, which seems to contribute largely to its success. What I don`t know is what happens in Python if a module is ...

If not, what is the best place to start with for this type of comparison, so that I can write one of my own? ...

That is, I want to find all sequences of length 20 in one word that is unique for that word. My problem is that the code I've written takes an extremely long time to run. I've never ev...
In my code I'm trying to take copies of instances a class using copy.deepcopy.

I've got a script which is reading an ATOM feed and I'd like to be able to compare the timestamp of an item in the ATOM feed to the modification time of a file. I notice from the ATOM spec, that ATOM dates include a time zone offset (Z<a number>) but, in ...

In the project we use a mix of languages and in perl I can do this importing by using h2xs utility to generate .pm module. Constants definitio...
I have been handed the task of creating a function in python (3.1) that will take a CIDR notation and return the list of possible ip addresses. I have looked around python.org and found this: http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/ipaddr.html but i haven't seen anything that will fill this need... I would be very grateful for any assi...
Hello, I am currently a high school senior who's been programming mainly in Python for about 4 years now (& some XHTML, CSS, Javacript).

So, the only educ...
When writing a custom string class that stores UTF-8 internally (to save memory) rather than UTF-16 from scratch is it feasible to some extent cache the relationship between byte offset and character offset to increase performance when applications use the class with random access? Does Perl do this kind of caching of character offset t...

I want to call a C library from a Python application. I don't want to wrap the whole API, only the functions and datatypes that are relevant to my case. As I see it, I have three choices: Create an actual extension module in C. Probably overkill, and I'd also like to avoid the overhead of learning extension writing. Use Cython to expos...
