Hi, We are using Apache and Python, but that doesn't really matter. Basically, we have a Production version of our software that is running with clients depending on it being stable. Meanwhile, we are coding up the never version. Does anyone have a simple release plan they'd care to share? I've done the following on past projects,...
I have some functions in my code that accept either an object or an iterable of objects as input. I was taught to use meaningful names for everything, but I am not sure how to comply here. What should I call a parameter that can a sinlge object or an iterable of objects? I have come up with two ideas, but I don't like either of them: F...

I'm trying to print random items from a list into my XCHAT channel messages. So far I've only been able to print the random items from my list alone, but not with any specific text. Example usage would be: "/ran blahblahblah" to produce the desired effect of a channel message such as "blahblahblah [random item]" __module_name__ = "ra...

I'm using Python Google App Engine to simply fetch html pages and show it. My aim is to be able to fetch any page in any language. Now I have a problem with encoding: Simple result = urllib2.urlopen(url).read() leaves artifacts in place of special letters and urllib2.urlopen(url).read().decode('utf8') throws error: 'utf8' c...
Suppose I have this sort of HTML from which I need to select "text2" using lxml / ElementTree: <div>text1<span>childtext1</span>text2<span>childtext2</span>text3</div> If I already have the div element as mydiv, then mydiv.text returns just "text1". Using itertext() seems problematic or cumbersome at best since it walks the entire tr...

(When I say "object address", I mean the string that you type in Python to access an object. For example 'life.State.step'. Most of the time, all the objects before the last dot will be packages/modules, but in some cases they can be classes or other objects.) In my Python project I often have the need to play around with object address...
I'm trying to sanitize and XSS-proof some HTML input from the client. I'm using Python 2.6 with Beautiful Soup. I parse the input, strip all tags and attributes not in a whitelist, and transform the tree back into a string. However... >>> unicode(BeautifulSoup('text < text')) u'text < text' That doesn't look like valid HTML to me. An...
