I'm a modest graduate student in a high energy particle physics department. With an unfounded distaste for C/C++ and a founded love of python, I have resorted to python for my data analysis so far (just the easy stuff) and am about to attempt backing python scripts against ROOT libraries and, particularly, utilize MINUIT for some paramet...

I was able to get this working in Perl, using Perl's \G regular expression sigil, which matches the end of the previous match. However, Python doesn't a...

I've got a django Form which contains a dictionary of strings. I've given the form a submit button and a preview button. When the preview button is pressed after entering some information, a POST is sent, and the strings in the dictionary are automagically recovered (I assume that it's done using session state or something). This is g...
