Hi, I'm working on a map of the native languages of California for Wikipedia. The map contains areas that each correspond to a language. The original looks like this (click it to see the SVG): I want to make "locator maps" for each of those individual languages by hand (in Inkscape), like this one, for a language called Cahuilla (whi...

Hi. I'm writing a curses application in Python under UNIX. I want to enable the user to use C-Y to yank from a kill ring a la Emacs. The trouble is, of course, that C-Y is caught by my shell which then sends SIGTSTP to my process. In addition, C-Z also results in SIGTSTP being sent, so catching the signal means that C-Y and C-Z are not...
I'm a Python beginner, and I have a utf-8 problem. I have a utf-8 string and I would like to replace all german umlauts with ASCII replacements (in German, u-umlaut 'ü' may be rewritten as 'ue'). u-umlaut has unicode code point 252, so I tried this: >>> str = unichr(252) + 'ber' >>> print repr(str) u'\xfcber' >>> print repr(str).repl...

As part of answering another question, I wrote the following code whose behaviour seems bizarre at first glance: print True # outputs true True = False; print True # outputs false True = True; print True # outputs false True = not True; print True # outputs true Can anyone explain this strange behaviour...
In python I have noticed that if you do mylist = [] for i in range(0,100000000): mylist.append('something here to take memory') mylist = [] it would seem the second call mylist = [] would remove the reference and it would get collected but, as I watch them memory it does not. when I use del mylist[:] it almost deletes ev...

Okay, I have an application written with cherrypy, and I want to build a wxpython gui for it. The problem is that both modules use a close loop for event handling, which (I assume) means while one is running the other will be locked. I asked for some advice and it was suggested that I merge the two event loops rather than using the stoc...

In my Python code I often find myself doing the following (using DB-API): yValues = pickInterestingValuesOfY() sql = "..." # includes a clause stating that "y must be in yValues" c.execute(sql, yValues) In the end, the SQL being executed could be something as simple as SELECT x FROM table1 WHERE y IN (1,2,3); The issue is that th...
Is it possible to distribute only the bytecode version (.pyc file) of a Python script instead of the original .py file? My app embeds the Python interpreter and calls PyImport_Import to load a script. How can I tell it to look for a .pyc file and import that? ...
I have a cherrypy application that I want to control over http with a simple gui. The problem is I don't want both the cherrypy window and the gui running at the same time.

Python can run script in optimized mode (-O) that turns off debugs like assert and if I remember also remove docstrings. I have no seen it used really and maybe it is just artifact of the past times. Is it being used? What for? Why isn't this useless thing being removed in Python 3? ...

Background: I'm doing COM programming of National Instruments' TestStand in Python. TestStand complains if objects aren't "released" properly (it pops up an "objects not released properly" debug dialog box). The way to release the TestStand COM objects in Python is to ensure all variables no longer contain the object—e.g. del() them, or ...
