Hi, I'm working on a project in Python/Django which uses ReportLab's SimpleDocTemplate to generate PDF documents. All the documents generated have the current date/time printed in the top right corner. I can't see that it's being done anywhere in my code, is this a default behaviour in the SimpleDocTemplate object? How do I get rid o...

Hello Stack Overflow, I have come upon a couple of lines of code similar to this one, but I'm unsure how I should break it: blueprint = Blueprint(self.blueprint_map[str(self.ui.blueprint_combo.currentText())], runs=self.ui.runs_spin.text(), me=self.ui.me_spin.text(), pe=self.ui.pe_skill_combo.currentIndex()) Thanks in advance ...
This afternoon I spent several hours trying to find a bug in my custom extension to urllib2.Request. The problem was, as I found out, the usage of super(ExtendedRequest, self), since urllib2.Request is (I'm on Python 2.5) still an old style class, where the use of super() is not possible. The most obvious way to create a new class with ...

However, I don't need the items in this list of values to refer to any models in particular... I just want a text list of items, plain and si...

I want to perform the inverse: creation of a string from an integer. i.e. I want some function int2base(num,base) such that: int( int2base( X , BASE ) , BASE ) == X the function name/argument order is unimportant For any number X and ba...

I'm looking for a library similar to FFDshow to help me convert .flv to .avi format and possibly do more. I understand that I can do this via VLC player, but I'd rather do it manually with Python (and in bulk).

The wx.Cursor class automatically scales the image I give it to 32x32 and I need to use a cursor that is larger than that. On http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307213 I saw what might be the reason for this behavior Although cursors can, in theory, be any size, the system imposes a standard size that is exposed by means of the ...
