Suppose I have two modules: a.py: import b print __name__, __file__ b.py: print __name__, __file__ I run the "a.py" file. This prints: b C:\path\to\code\b.py __main__ C:\path\to\code\a.py Question: how do I obtain the path to the __main__ module (a.py in this case) from within the "b.py" library? ...
RDFLib needs C extensions to be compiled to install on ActiveState Python 2.5; as far as I can tell, there's no binary installer anywhere obvious on the web. On attempting to install with python setup.py install, it produces the following message: error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler...
I'm somewhat new to Python, Django, and I'd like some advice on how to layout the code I'd like to write. I have the model written that allows a file to be uploaded. In the models save method I'm checking if the file has a specific extension. If it has an XML extension I'm opening the file and grabbing some information from the file to ...
I'm running Python 2.5, so this question may not apply to Python 3. When you make a diamond class hierarchy using multiple inheritance and create an object of the derived-most class, Python does the Right Thing (TM). It calls the constructor for the derived-most class, then its parent classes as listed from left to right, then the grandp...
I´m reading a file in Python where each record is separated by an empty new line. If the file ends in two or more new lines, the last record is processed as expected, but if the file ends in a single new line it´s not processed. Here´s the code: def fread(): record = False for line in open('somefile.txt'): if line.starts...

I'm trying to parse the title tag in an RSS 2.0 feed into three different variables for each entry in that feed. Using ElementTree I've already parsed the RSS so that I can print each title [minus the trailing )] with the code below: feed = getfeed("http://www.tourfilter.com/dallas/rss/by_concert_date") for item in feed: print rep...

However, certain Qt objects don't automatically cast to Python or Sqlite equivalents when...
I have a file open for writing, and a process running for days -- something is written into the file in relatively random moments. My understanding is -- until I do file.close() -- there is a chance nothing is really saved to disk. Is that true? What if the system crashes when the main process is not finished yet? Is there a way to do k...
Hey everyone, I've recently been learning python and I just started playing with networking using python's socket library. Everything has been going well until recently when my script terminated without closing the connection. The next time I ran the script, I got: File "./alert_server.py", line 9, in <module> s.bind((HOST, PORT)) Fi...

I want to write a python script on Windows that saves the title of the program that the user uses at a given time like the http://www.rescuetime.com . I don't want to use rescuetime because of privacy consideration but instead write a script that does something similar myself to capture data about how much I use my computer. Is there so...

My promblem comes with the installation of PIL, i have no support for JPEG after the compile process. I know that the compiler dont find "libjpeg", so i tried to install it at my home, i download the tar.gz and compile it ...
I'm trying to put a Python project into a tarball using setuptools. The problem is that setuptools doesn't appear to like the way that the source tree was originally setup (not by me, I must add). Everything that I actually want to distribute is in the top-level directory, rather than in a subdirectory like the setuptools docs talk abo...
I'm trying to come up with an elegant way of creating a list from a function that yields values in both Python and Ruby. In Python: def foo(x): for i in range(x): if bar(i): yield i result = list(foo(100)) In Ruby: def foo(x) x.times {|i| yield i if bar(i)} end result = [] foo(100) {|x| result << x} Although I love ...
I was intrigued by this answer to my question about getting vim to highlight unmatched brackets in python code. Specifically, I'm talking about the second part of his answer where he mentions that the C syntax highlighting is actually flagging as an error any instance of curly braces inside parens. It is an unobtrusive cue that you hav...
Sometimes I'll be working with, say, a list of thousands of items in IDLE, and accidently print it out to the shell. When this happens, it crashes or at least very significaly slows down IDLE. As you can imagine, this is extremely inconvenient. Is there a way to make it, rather than printing the entire thing, just give me a summarised [1...
