Here is an example of the problem I am running into. I am using the Python Win32 extensions to access an Outlook mailbox and retrieve messages. Below is a script that should write "hello world" to a text file. I need to grab some messages from an Outlook mailbox and I noticed something weird. After I attach to the mailbox once, I can...
I have a range of dates and a measurement on each of those dates. I'd like to calculate an exponential moving average for each of the dates. Does anybody know how to do this? I'm new to python. It doesn't appear that averages are built into the standard python library, which strikes me as a little odd. Maybe I'm not looking in the r...
I'm trying to validate a few python arguments. Until we get the new static typing in Python 3.0, what is the best way of going about this. Here is an example of what I am attempting: class A(object): @accepts(int, int, int) def __init__(a, b, c): pass class B(A): @accepts(int, int, int, int) def __init__(a, b, ...
I was imagining a 3-line Python script to do this but the yum Python API is impenetrable. Is this even possible? Is writing a wrapper for 'yum list package-name' the only way to do this? ...

Is it possible to make a user-defined Python function act like a statement? In other words, I'd like to be able to say: myfunc rather than: myfunc() and have it get called anyway -- the way that, say, print would. I can already hear you all composing responses about how this is a horrible thing to do and I'm stupid for asking it a...
While I like to think of myself as a reasonably competent Python coder, one aspect of the language I've never been able to grok is decorators. I know what they are (superficially), I've read tutorials, examples, questions on Stack Overflow, and I understand the syntax, can write my own, occasionally use @classmethod and @staticmethod, b...

Hello, I need to lock a file for writing in Python. It will be accessed from multiple Python processes at once. I have found some solutions online, but most fail for my purposes as they are often only Unix based or Windows based. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ...

I'd like to take a multi-page pdf file and create separate pdf files per page. I've downloaded reportlab and have browsed the documentation, but it seems aimed at pdf generation, I haven't yet seen anything about processing pdf's themselves. Is there an easy way to do this in python? ...
I'm just getting into python on the web. I have a simple linux (CentOS) server with python installed into apache via mod_python. It all works great, but I don't really understand what to do about the Handler. It works, but I have to do low-level things like, at minimum, set the proper content_type of the request before I write out anythi...
I'm using a Python API that expects me to pass it a function. However, for various reasons, I want to pass it a method, because I want the function to behave different depending on the instance it belongs to. If I pass it a method, the API will not call it with the correct 'self' argument, so I'm wondering how to turn a method into a fu...
