So for example, if the user input is "test" , the output should be "vguv". This is the code i have...
Hi, I started playing around with web2py the other day for a new project. I really like the structure and the whole concept which feels like a breath of fresh air after spending a few years with PHP frameworks. The only thing (currently) that is bothering me is the ticketing system. Each time I make a misstake a page with a link to a t...

I'm writing a program, with a PyQt frontend. To ensure that the UI doesn't freeze up, I use QThreads to emit signals back to the parent. Now, I have reached a point where I need my thread to stop running, emit a signal back to the parent, then wait on the parent to return an approval for the thread to continue (after the user interacts...
Hi, I am using Emacs 23.1.1 on GNU/Linux with autocomplete.el 1.3 and Ropemacs 0.6. In Lisp programming, autocomplete.el shows the documentation (known as 'QuickHelp' in autocomplete.el) of the suggested completions. Python completion with ropemacs works, but does not show quick help for the Python completion. Is it possible to enable ...

So I'm using static class members so I can share data between class methods and static methods of the same class (there will only be 1 instantiation of the class). I understand this fine, but I'm just wondering when the static members get initialized? Is it on import? On the first use of the class? Because I'm going to be calling the sta...
I am almost finished with a task someone gave me that at first involved easy use of the product() function from itertools. However, the person asked that it should also do something a bit different like: li = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]] A regular product() would give something like: [1, 4], [1, 5], [1, 6], [2, 4], [2, 5], [2, 6], [3, 4] ...
I may be posting a premature question, and maybe I'm just freaking out for no reason, but the way Oracle is handling Java is not very promising. I am a nerd who fell in love with Java from the first sight... and use it all the time in my personal/freelance projects but now I am thinking of a replacement. I am fluent in C#/VB.NET too but ...
I'm trying to install libxml2 on my Mac (OS 10.6.4). I'm actually trying to just run a Scrapy script in Python, which has required me to install Twisted, Zope, and now libxml2. I've downloaded the latest version (2.7.7, from xmlsoft.org) and tried following these instructions here. To summarize, I tried this command (in the python sub...
I've written an index and search view all in one if a GET request is detected it returns just the search results otherwise it returns all records. I've written this view below but I feel like I'm repeating myself a bit too much. Any ideas as to how I can slim this code down a bit would be much appreciated. def index(request): if 'q'...
My question does not really have much to do with sqlalchemy but rather with pure python. I'd like to control the instantiation of sqlalchemy Model instances. This is a snippet from my code: class Tag(db.Model): __tablename__ = 'tags' query_class = TagQuery id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) name = db.Column(d...
I'm working on an application that will run on Google App Engine. I would like it to respond gracefully to App Engine maintenance periods.

How do I go about returning json data from a bottle request handler. I see a dict2json method in the bottle src but I am not sure how to use it. What is in the documentation: @route('/spam') def spam(): return {'status':'online', 'servertime':time.time()} Gives me this when I bring up the page: <html> <head></head> <bod...

The mongo documents will be very simple, something like this: { shortUrlSlug: 'pbbs', fullUrl: 'http://example.com/pean...
I'm trying to write a program in python to run a program in C++. It wasn't working right, so I made the most basic version of each I could. The C++ program merely takes in a string from stdin, and then prints it out. The Python code is written as follows: import popen2, string, StringIO fin, fout = popen2.popen2("PyTest") msg = ur"Hel...
