Background I have many (thousands!) of data files with a standard field based format (think tab-delimited, same fields in every line, in every file). I'm debating various ways of making this data available / searchable. (Some options include RDBMS, NoSQL stuff, using the grep/awk and friends, etc.). Proposal In particular, one ide...
I'm trying to write a Python script that will perform the same action on multiple databases. There are too many for me to input them by hand, so I'd like to write a script that will loop over them. Right now, I've gotten as far as the following before getting stuck: countylist = ['01001','01002','01003','01004'] for item in countylist: ...
Hi all, I am reading binary data from one file that specifies intensity values across x and y coordinates (not a open-source image format) and want to convert it to a PNG image (or other widely supported format). I have the data loaded into an array (using the array module) where each element is a integer from 0 to 255. To save this to ...
I am trying to select specific column elements for each row of a numpy array. For example, in the following example: In [1]: a = np.random.random((3,2)) Out[1]: array([[ 0.75670668, 0.1283942 ], [ 0.51326555, 0.59378083], [ 0.03219789, 0.53612603]]) I would like to select the first element of the first row, the secon...
I just want to build this on my development machine -- the binary install from Python.org is still 32 bits and installing extensions (MySQLdb, for example) is driving me nuts with trying to figure out the proper flags for each and every extension. Clarification: I did NOT replace the system Python, I just installed the Python.org binary...
We would like to use our own tables for user management instead of the Django "auth" tables. We already have database tables that include all of the relevant information our application needs but it isn't in the Django format. We would prefer not to have the information duplicated in two tables. We would like to utilize the auth package...
I am using a 3rd party library function which reads a set of keywords from a file, and is supposed to return a tuple of values. It does this correctly as long as there are at least two keywords. However, in the case where there is only one keyword, it returns a raw string, not a tuple of size one. This is particularly pernicious because ...
Hi there - totally confused by now... I am developing in python/django and using python logging. All of my app requires unicode and all my models have only a unicode()`, return u'..' methods implemented. Now when logging I have come upon a really strange issue that it took a long time to discover that I could reproduce it. I have tried b...

I'm new to unit tests for my own projects, so this is my first attempt to write a unit test from scratch. I'm using python, and the unittest module. The TodoList class being tested here is a wrapper for actual lists, with a few extra methods for stuff like saving to disc. It also defines a few methods for getting items by their ID in the...
I have a string that I would like to encrypt in Python, store it as a cookie, then in a PHP file I'd like to retrieve that cookie, and decrypt it in PHP. How would I go about doing this? I appreciate the fast responses. All cookie talk aside, lets just say I want to encrypt a string in Python and then decrypt a string in PHP. Are th...
I'm a PhD student and use Python to write the code I use for my research. My workflow often consists of making a small change to the code, running the program, seeing whether the results improved, and repeating the process. Because of this, I find myself spending more time waiting for my program to run than I do actually working on it...
I am working in the Google Application Engine environment where I am loading doctests and python code from strings to test Python homework assignments. My basic implementation (Provided by Alex Martelli) appears to work for all of my problems except for those containing the print statement. Something seems to go wrong when I attempt to e...

Is it possible to run Python & Django on IIS? I am going to be a Lead Developer in some web design company and right now they are using classic ASP and ASP.NET. As far as I can see ASP.NET MVC is not mature. Should I recommend Python & Django stack? If it's not possible to run Python on IIS what do you think I should do? Stick with ASP.N...
Is it possible to create a grid like below? I didn't found anything in the forum. #euler-project problem number 11 #In the 20 times 20 grid below, #four numbers along a diagonal line have been marked in red. #The product of these numbers is 26 times 63 times 78 times 14 = 1788696. #What is the greatest product of four adjacent numbers i...
In C: #include "foo.h" int main() { } I believe that "foo.h" effectively gets copied and pasted in at the spot of the "#include". Python imports are different though, I'm finding. I just refactored a bit of GAE code that initially had ALL request handlers in one big index.py file. NEW directory tree: + | +- [handlers] // all...
I've got a Python project using PyDev in Eclipse, and PyDev keeps generating false errors for my code. I have a module settings that defines a settings object. I import that in module b and assign an attribute with: from settings import settings settings.main = object() In some of my code--but not all of it, statements like: from s...
I'm developing in Python using PyDev in Eclipse, and some of my code generates errors in the code analysis tool. Specifically: class Group(object): def key(self, k): class Subkey(object): def __enter__(s): self._settings.beginGroup(k) return self def __exit__(s, type,...
I want to use glClear and glClearColor to fill a frame buffer with a colour including alpha transparency. However the framebuffer always renders as opaque when binded to a texture which is rendered to the screen. I want everything which is rendered to the framebuffer to kept their transparency. I just want to change the background. See...
