What would be easiest way to use MediaWiki cookies in some Python CGI scripts (on the same domain, ofc) for authentication (including MW's OpenID, especially)? Access from python to MediaWiki database is possible, too. ...
Is this Python script correct? import urllib, urllib2, cookielib username = 'myuser' password = 'mypassword' cj = cookielib.CookieJar() opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj)) login_data = urllib.urlencode({'username' : username, 'j_password' : password}) opener.open('http://www.example.com/login.php', l...
I'm trying to extract set of data from a string that can match one of three patterns. I have a list of compiled regexes. I want to run through them (in order) and go with the first match. regexes = [ compiled_regex_1, compiled_regex_2, compiled_regex_3, ] m = None for reg in regexes: m = reg.match(name) if m: break ...
Is it pythonic to mimic method overloading as found in statically typed languages? By that I mean writing a function that checks the types of its arguments and behaves differently based on those types. Here is an example: class EmployeeCollection(object): def find(value): if isinstance(value, str): #find employe...
I have two date/time strings: start_date = 10/2/2010 8:00:00 end_date = 10/2/2010 8:59:00 I need to write a function to calculate if the event is in the future, in the past or if it is happening right now - I've read a fair bit of documentation but just finding it quite hard to get this to work. I've not really done much time base...
I need to replace non-numeric chars from a string. For example, "8-4545-225-144" needs to be "84545225144"; "$334fdf890==-" must be "334890". How can I do this? ...
So I have so far a simple python tkinter window and i'm adding text, buttons, etc. snippet: class Cfrm(Frame): def createWidgets(self): self.text = Text(self, width=50, height=10) self.text.insert('1.0', 'some text will be here') self.text.tag_configure('big', font=('Verdana', 24, 'bold')) self.text["state"] = "dis...

I am working with a large set of html documents. One of my tasks is to extract all text from the documents. I have gotten pretty far but now I am stumped because of the use of tables as containers / formatting structures for information that is not numeric in nature My goal is to ignore - leave behind - not extract the 'table' if it i...
I've implemented this short example to try to demonstrate a simple delegation pattern. My question is. Does this look like I've understood delegation right? class Handler: def __init__(self, parent = None): self.parent = parent def Handle(self, event): handler = 'Handle_' +event if hasattr(self, handler):...
I would like to be able to save my session state within the PythonWin editor (e.g. these three files are opened and positioned in these particular locations within the PythonWin window). I can get handles to each of the child windows within PythonWin using win32gui, as well as the titles of each of the files and the positions/sizes of t...
I'm working on a Project Euler problem which requires factorization of an integer. I can come up with a list of all of the primes that are the factor of a given number. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic implies that I can use this list to derive every factor of the number. My current plan is to take each number in the list of base p...
I've been looking over what I can find about this and found something about denying access to specific user-agents but couldn't find how I can actually get the full request header. I am trying to make a customized analytics app so would like access to the full headers.. any info is appreciated. ...

I'm just starting getting into Python - my focus being on using it with Maya and its API - and I've found that when I'm working on something there's, generally, at least 2 or 3 ways to do the same thing that I'm trying to do. For instance: for key, value in locNameConnector.iteritems(): value = locNameConnector[key] cmds.connect...
I need to find out in what country given GPS coordinates are, on a device that has no Internet access (e.g. this, but without the easy on-line solution). Having no experience with GIS, I guess I'd need some kind of module that would statically store shapes of countries and match current location against them. I'd therefore like to ask w...
In browser I get: Request URL: http://xxxxxx:8000/person/test/ Using the URLconf defined in person.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^person/ ^$ ^person/ ^person/(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$ ^admin/ The current URL, person/test/, didn't match any of these. In python shell I get: import re url = 'person/test/' p...
I have a python program that has no windows frame and doesn't show up in the taskbar because of self.overrideredirect(1). This program has an options menu (a top level widget) that allows for the alpha to be adjusted with self.attributes("-alpha", 0.85). However when I close out of the options menu my program shows up in the task bar. Ob...

I am going to add something based on Matthew's answer - he got me almost t...
