Basically I would love to say: echo `grep ^foo /usr/share/dict/words | popup_menu` ...and have some type of keyboard navigable menu popup or selection tool, very similar to how vim's ":Explore" mechanism works. Extreme bonus points for "easy and works pretty much everywhere with standard tools" Also acceptable is "needs some sort ...
Are there any common timesavers that people put in Python Interactive Startup scripts? I made a dopey one to help me know where I am when I try to do relative file operations or imports, using a win32 module to change the name of the console window. import sys import os import win32api __title_prefix = 'Python %i.%i.%i %s %s' % (sys.ve...
After researching into various charting solutions fusion charts looks like it will be most suited to my needs. I'm finding it difficult to get a good detailed tutorial on how to create a chart that lets the user can click on different data to open a new window. For example a pie chart of backup statistics (successful, failed, missing)...
Suppose I'm using R's interactive console, and I've just done something like this: long_running_command() That long-running command returns a value, and I've just realized that I wanted to assign that value to a variable instead of discard it.

I am using Eclipse as a Python IDE. Is there anyway for me to Debug my program and break to an interactive prompt. I am interested in exploring the existing data and running/testing commands.

I have two pieces of Windows technology which I'd like to plumb together: a TSP (a TAPI service provider) and an API wrapped around some hardware. The API accepts requests synchronously but returns success/fail/status result asynchronously by sending messages to a passed-down HWND. As I understand it, the problem is that because a TSP r...
A couple of weeks ago I found a great page. It basically was a level based SQL game. Starting off with simple queries you earned stars by completing tasks. The exercise declaration featured information about a certain database and what tables it features. You had to write statements/queries in the browser and solve the problem. The exerc...

Hi! I have to validate user-input from stdin that is not going to be entered by hitting the Enter-key. So readline() and other Enter-dependent functions are of no use to me. Practically the promt will be filled, and each keystroke has to be handled as an event. How do I get access to the promt buffer's contents? ...

In my python startup script, I define a function called load which is similar to import, but adds some functionality. It takes a single string: def load(s): # Do some stuff return something In order to call this function I have to ty...
