Using PyCrypto (although I've tried this in ObjC with OpenSSL bindings as well) : from Crypto.Cipher import DES import base64 obj=DES.new('abcdefgh', DES.MODE_ECB) plain="Guido van Rossum is a space alien.XXXXXX" ciph=obj.encrypt(plain) enc=base64.b64encode(ciph) #print ciph print enc outputs a base64 encoded value of : ESzjTnGMRFnfV...
I need to write some python ftp code that uses a ftp proxy. The proxy doesn't require authentication but the ftp server I am connecting to does. I have the following code but I am getting a "I/O error(ftp error): 501 USER format: proxy-user:auth-method@destination. Closing connection." error. My code is: import urllib2 proxies = {'ftp'...
I quite like Rails' database migration management system. It is not 100% perfect, but it does the trick. Django does not ship with such a database migration system (yet?) but there are a number of open source projects to do just that, such as django-evolution and south for example. So I am wondering, what database migration management...
I'm trying to unit test some code that looks like this: def main(): parser = optparse.OptionParser(description='This tool is cool', prog='cool-tool') parser.add_option('--foo', action='store', help='The foo option is self-explanatory') options, arguments = parser.parse_args() if not options.foo: parser.error('--f...
I've been wanting to have a play with either Ruby or Python while at the same time I've been wanting to do a bit of Cocoa programming. So I thought the best way to achieve both these goals is to develop something using either a Ruby or Python to Objective-C bridge (PyObjc or RubyCocoa). I know that ideally to get the best learning exp...
I've written a small command line utility in Python (ljdump if you're curious). I originally wrote it for a technical audience who is comfortable with editing textual config files and running Python scripts from the command line. With Python, I don't have to worry about cross-platform concerns very much. I would like to make this more a...
I'm especially interested in solutions with source code available (django independency is a plus, but I'm willing to hack my way through) ...
Recently I asked about scripting FruityLoops or Reason from Python, which didn't turn up much. Today I found LMMS, a free-software FruityLoops clone. So, similarly. Has anyone tried scripting this from Python (or similar)? Is there an API or wrapper for accessing its resources from outside? If not, what would be the right approach to t...

I use python cgi for our intranet application. When I measure time, the script takes 4s to finish. But after that, it still takes another 11s to show the screen in the browser. The screen is build with tables (size: 10 KB, 91 KB uncompressed) and has a large css file (5 KB, 58 KB uncompressed). I used YSlow and did as much optimizatio...
I have a python application that relies on a file that is downloaded by a client from a website. The website is not under my control and has no API to check for a "latest version" of the file. Is there a simple way to access the file (in python) via a URL and check it's date (or size) without having to download it to the clients machin...

I would like to write a Python script that continuously reads each of these records. The PyYAML library seems best at taking fully l...
