In the "Memcache Viewer", is there any way to dump a list of existing keys? Just for debugging, of course, not for use in any scripts! I ask because it doesn't seem like the GAE SDK is using a "real" memcache server, so I'm guessing it's emulated in Python (for simplicity, as it's just a development server).. This would mean there is a ...

I've come across this question but I don't like the solution that is presented. Shell scripting is operating system dependent. Is there a python solution to this problem? I'm not looking for python to machine code compilers, just a way to modify the include paths with python. ...
I wrote a little python program as a personal utility to help me with some refactoring. It's similar to unix replace, except it supports regular expressions and operates on all files in a directory and (optionally) all subdirectories. The problem is I'm not replacing in place. I'm opening files, passing the contents into memory, and t...

Apropos of This question, there is a bit of scaffolding within the interpreter to inspect frame objects, which can be retrieved by sys._getframe(). The frame objects appear to be read only, but I can't find anything obvious in the docs that explicitly states this. Can someone confirm whether these objects are writeable (in some way) or...

I have experience with PHP 5, both with functional and object oriented programming methods. I created a few feature-minimalistic websites. Professionals may agree about PHP not being a programming langua...
