I know this does not sound Pythonic, but bear with me for a second. I am writing a module that depends on some external closed-source module. That module needs to get instantiated to be used (using module.create()). My module attempts to figure out if my user already loaded that module (easy to do), but then needs to figure out if the ...

I'm looking for something like this: {% trans "There are %{flowers}n flowers in the vase" < flowers:3 %} Now obviously syntax is fake, but it should be sufficient to demonstrate what I'm looking for. Should I cook something of my own? It looks like a common usecase, so I was quite surprised that quick web search didn't return anythi...
This program is supposed to take the outline of an image, then split it into different quadrants, then color it, such as the Andy Warhol Marilyn Monroe picture. Every function up to the "Warholize" function works but it gets stuck on c=getPixel(picEdge,x,y) under the warholize function at which I'm not sure what to do. Any help would...

I have the hair-brained idea of grouping models from different existing apps into one big new shiny app. There's not a super important reason I need to do this, but it would be nice to consolidate all of the code in one subdirectory and it would improve the site to group all the models together in the admin_index under the same module he...

Hey All, I am working on a project built on python 2.4 (It is an embedded python project, so I don't have a choice on the version of python used). Throughout the application, we use array.array to store data. Support for pickling array.array objects was added to pickle (and cPickle) in 2.5. We have a viable workaround in 2.4 when usi...

The daemon checks a Django model Requisition for objects with a status=STATUS_NEW, then marks them STATUS_WORKING and puts them into a queue. A number of processes (created usin...
In Numpy, ix_() is used to grab rows and columns of a matrix, but it doesn't seem to work with sparse matrices. For instance, this code works because it uses a dense matrix: >>> import numpy as np >>> x = np.mat([[1,0,3],[0,4,5],[7,8,0]]) >>> print x [[1 0 3] [0 4 5] [7 8 0]] >>> print x[np.ix_([0,2],[0,2])] [[1 3] [7 0]] I used ix...
