Users can login to my app, update their profile, change address and change the picture among many other things. A user can export the models to PDF, YAML and JSON, save the file on his computer. You can download any available format...

The code I have at the moment is along the lines of: if angles['B'] > 30: # Do stuff e...
Is it possible to declare functions in python and define them later or in a separate file? I have some code like: class tata: def method1(self): def func1(): # This local function will be only used in method1, so there is no use to # define it outside. # Some code for func1. # Some code for m...
Does anyone know how to parse the format as described in the title using Pythons strptime method? I have something similar to this: import datetime date = datetime.datetime.strptime(entry.published.text, '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.Z') I can't seem to figure out what kind of timeformat this is. By the way, I'm a newbie at the Python langu...

I've got a program/joke that needs a reasonably large data structure to operate, (a dictionary that takes a few seconds to construct) and I would like to create and pickle it into the installation dir when running python setup.py install. setup() in distutils.core looks like it shouldn't exit, so I thought that I could just import my mo...

I'm developing on Google App Engine. I am using WingIDE (a python IDE) to debug on the development server. I have several thousand entities in my datastore and I can see that when the development server starts up, it has to go through DatastoreFileStub.Read() and do something which each entity. The problem is, when I run the development...
I have a series of unit tests that I'm running with nose. For some of my tests, I'd like to remove a module's path from the sys.path so there is no conflict with what I am testing. sys.path.remove('/path/to/remove/from/sys/path') If I run the Python interpreter and call sys.path, the '/path/to/remove/from/sys/path' is there in the li...

I looked at gc...
