I've created a new Pylons application and added a controller ("main.py") with a template ("index.mako"). Now the URL http://myserver/main/index works.

Thanks in advance, Jim. Update Turns out you can use u"éã" but f...

I can see how it can be helpful in a package's __init__.py file, b...
In Python I can use the iterkeys() method to iterate over the keys of a dictionary. For example: mydict = {'a': [3,5,6,43,3,6,3,], 'b': [87,65,3,45,7,8], 'c': [34,57,8,9,9,2],} for k in mydict.iterkeys(): print k gives me: a c b How can I do something similar in Javascript? ...

Example: >>> True True >>> True + True 2 >>> True + False 1 >>> True + True + True 3 >>> True + True + False 2 >>> False + False 0 Why? Why does this make sense? I understand that True is often represented as 1, whereas False is represented as 0, but that ...

I've been using sikuli for awhile, however I have an issue with it... It's not sensitive enough. I'm trying to match something on the screen that is -EXACT-, and there are a few other items on the screen that look similar enough that sikuli is mistaking them for what I'm actually looking for, so I need to make it look for ONLY this item ...
What's the pythonic way of achieving the following? list_a = [1, 2, 3, 4] list_b = [5, 6, 7, 8] #Need to create a of tuples from list_a and list_b list_c = [(1,5), (2,6), (3,7), (4,8)] Each member of list_c is a tuple, whose first member is from list_a and the second is from list_b. ...

I am looking for a convenient way to create a list of lists for which the lists within the list have consecutive numbers. So far I only came up with a very unsatisfying brute-typing force solution (yeah right, I just use python for a few weeks now): block0 = [] ... block4 = [] blocks = [block0,block1,block2,block3,block4] I appreciat...

I would like to set a cookies each time when user chooses one of element of this list [HttpResponse.set_cookie(...)]. What is the best solution? Should I write function in views.py or have you got more simple solution? ...
I am (trying) to make a simple IRC client in python (as kind of a project while I learn the language). I have a loop that I use to receive and parse what the IRC server sends me, but if I use raw_input to input stuff, it stops the loop dead in its tracks until I input something (obviously). How can I input something without the loop sto...
I'm new to Python. I have a method that begins: def foo(self, list): length = len(list) I've called len() successfully in other cases, but here I get: TypeError: object of type 'type' has no len() How do I convince Python that this object passed in is a list? What am I missing? ...

However, when I call it from the following python script, the program seemed to hang after printing out the first 'alive'. Can anyone here tell m...
