I've looked at this and it wasn't much help. I have a Ruby program that puts a question to the cmd line and I would like to write a Python program that can return an answer. Does anyone know of any links or in general how I might go about doing this? Thanks for your help. EDIT Thanks to the guys that mentioned piping. I haven't use...
When an object has hundreds of methods, tab completion is hard to use. More often than not the interesting methods are the ones defined or overridden by the inspected object's class and not its base classes. How can I get IPython to group its tab completion possibilities so the methods and properties defined in the inspected object's cl...
I suppose I could take a text and remove high frequency English words from it. By keywords, I mean that I want to extract words that are most the characterizing of the content of the text (tags ) . It doesn't have to be perfect, a good approximation is perfect for my needs. Has anyone done anything like that? Do you known a Perl or Pyt...

Surely this is possible? I have been hunting through pyqt tutorials and documentation but cannt find the answer to it. Probably I just need to phrase my search query differently.

In SCons, my command generators create ridiculously long command lines. I'd like to be able to split these commands across multiple lines for readability in the build log. e.g. I have a SConscipt like: import os # create dependency def my_cmd_generator(source, target, env, for_signature): return r'''echo its a small world after ...
Short and simple. I've got a huge list of date-times like this as strings: Jun 1 2005 1:33PM Aug 28 1999 12:00AM I'm going to be shoving these back into proper datetime fields in a database so I need to magic them into real datetime objects. Any help (even if it's just a kick in the right direction) would be appreciated. Edit: Thi...
Conceptually, I would like to accomplish the following but have had trouble understand how to code it properly in Python: from threading import Thread for i in range(0,3): t = Thread(target=myfunction) t.start() # wait until threads have finished executing print 'complete!' ...
When using Python's super() to do method chaining, you have to explicitly specify your own class, for example: class MyDecorator(Decorator): def decorate(self): super(MyDecorator, self).decorate() I have to specify the name of my class MyDecorator as an argument to super(). This is not DRY. When I rename my ...
Using Python, how can information such as CPU usage, memory usage (free, used, etc), process count, etc be returned in a generic manner so that the same code can be run on Linux, Windows, BSD, etc? Alternatively, how could this information be returned on all the above systems with the code specific to that OS being run only if that OS i...

I'm curious about how .NET will affect Python and Ruby applications. Will applications written in IronPython/IronRuby be so specific to the .NET environment, that they will essentially become platform specific? If they don't use any of the .NET features, then what is the advantage of IronPython/IronRuby over their non .NET counterpar...

I'm looking to take a string and create a list of strings that build up the original string. e.g.: "asdf" => ["a", "as", "asd", "asdf"] I'm sure there's a "pythonic" way to do it; I think I'm just losing my mind. What's the best way to get this done? ...
I would like to find a generic way of preventing to save an object if it is saved after I checked it out. We can assume the object has a timestamp field that contains last modification time. If I had checked out (visited a view using a ModelForm for instance) at t1 and the object is saved again at t2, given t2 > t1 I shouldn't be able t...
Following from this OS-agnostic question, specifically this response, similar to data available from the likes of /proc/meminfo on Linux, how can I read system information from OS X using Python (including, but not limited to memory usage). ...
