Hi all, Pyhon comes with the handy dir() function that would list the content of a class for you. For example, for this class: class C: i = 1 a = 'b' dir(C) would return ['__doc__', '__module__', 'a', 'i'] This is great, but notice how the order of 'a' and 'i' is now different then the order they were defined in. How can I...
Suppose some function that always gets some parameter s that it does not use. def someFunc(s): # do something _not_ using s, for example a=1 now consider this call someFunc("the unused string") which gives a string as a parameter that is not built during runtime but compiled straight into the binary (hope thats right). The que...
The Python docs clearly state that x==y calls x.__eq__(y). However it seems that under many circumstances, the opposite is true. Where is it documented when or why this happens, and how can I work out for sure whether my object's __cmp__ or __eq__ methods are going to get called. Edit: Just to clarify, I know that __eq__ is called in ...

Some time ago I looked over Haskell docs and found it's functional composition operator really nice. So I've implemented this tiny decorator: from functools import partial class _compfunc(partial): def __lshift__(self, y): f = lambda *args, **kwargs: self.func(y(*args, **kwargs)) return _compfunc(f) def __rshi...
Hi, I have a shell script that loops through a text file containing URL:s that I want to visit and take screenshots of. All this is done and simple. The script initializes a class that when run creates a screenshot of each site in the list. Some sites take a very, very long time to load, and some might not be loaded at all. So I want t...

I'm running OS X 10.6.2 and have installed python from the website (the package that includes IDLE). This works absolutely fine, and in fact IDLE will run everything I want...
I have a list of tuples representing x,y points. I also have a list of values for each of these points. How do I combine them into a list of lists (i.e one entry for each point [x,y,val]) or a list of tuples? Thanks ...
I'm going to write my first non-Access project, and I need advice on choosing the platform. I will be installing it on multiple friends' and family's computers, so (since I'm sure many, many platforms would suffice just fine for my app), my highest priority has two parts: 1) ease of install for the non-technical user and, 2) minimizing c...

Here's a very simple way to build an suffix array from a string in python: def sort_offsets(a, b): return cmp(content[a:], content[b:]) content = "foobar baz foo" suffix_array.sort(cmp=sort_offsets) print suffix_array [6, 10, 4, 8, 3, 7, 11, 0, 13, 2, 12, 1, 5, 9] However, "content[a:]" makes a copy of content, which becomes very...
