My website already runs PHP for it's UI. I now need to code some scripts which will fetch data from certain URL's on a daily basis and populate the database. If PHP 5, with its enhanced object oriented features and rich libraries is on par with Python on the command line, then wouldn't it make better sense for me to use PHP for both web...

Hi! I get the infamous "MERGE of 'whatever': 200 OK" whenever I try to commit using a post-commit hook on Windows (running the repository and Trac locally), and I'm going crazy. I've been looking all over for a day now, without finding any solutions. So here's how it's set up and what I've tried so far: Settings: Windows 7 (64-bit) Vi...
I'm working on a django project with a few other developers and we have recently realized that all the .pwc files in our app cause the commits and repository to be cluttered. Is there any way I can remove all .pwc files from all child directories in my git repository and then ignore them for any future commit? ...
I find it very useful to be able to create new variables during runtime and create a dictionary of the results for processing later, i.e. writing to a file: myDict = {} for i in range (1,10): temp = "variable"+str(i) vars()[temp] = myFunctionThatReturnsData() # variable1= data1, variable2 = data2,etc. myDict[temp] = vars(te...
Hello good people! :) I want to render parts of a svg file by name but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do so (using python + gtk).

I am selecting the maximum date value from a MySQL database table in python using the MySQLdb module. If the result comes back as null, I want to override it with a default value. I could do this in the MySQL using a sub-query, but would prefer to do it in python. Any recommendations on a simple way to do this? I figure this is an easy ...
Hi all, After a break from Python(and I knew very little then!) I'm coming back to it for a project(hopefully!). I want to do some parsing using Feedparser & need a few hints to start. Before anyone shouts, I have searched Google and read the docs, but I'm a bit too rusty unfortunately!(So please don't lmgtfy me!) If I have a rss fee...
d = Deferred() d.callback(Deferred()) # Assertion error saying that a Deferred shouldn't be passed Why is this? I looked through the code and commit messages / Trac and see no reason why this should be the case. The most obvious way to bypass this is to put the Deferred in a tuple, but why is this restriction here in the first place? ...

If another package wants to require more than one extra from the first package, can it ask for 'requires' : [ 'mypackage[PDF, DOC...
I know that with the SimpleHTTPServer I can make my directories accessible by web-browsers via Internet. So, I run just one line of the code and, as a result, another person working on another computer can use his/her browser to see content of my directories. But I wander if I can make more complicated things. For example, somebody uses...
I've written a simple program that captures and executes command line Python scripts, but there is a problem. The text passed to a Python input function isn't written to my program despite my program capturing stdout. For example: The Python script: import sys print("Hello, World!") x = input("Please enter a number: ") print(x) prin...
