Basically, what I'm trying to do is to render os.environ in a template in google app engine. I believe the technology is (or is adapted from) the Django template engine version 0.96 (but correct me if I'm wrong). I found this question suggesting that you could do: {{ for key, value in environ}} But when I try that, I get an error say...
Hi, I'm wrapping C++ code into Python and .NET code by using SWIG 2.0.0. I'm able to wrap a (myClass*, std::string) by introducing the following sentence in the "interface.i" file: %template(Dictionary_myClass_String) std::map<myClass*, std::string>; But I'm getting several errors if i try this: %template(Dictionary_myClass_myClass)...

In writing an application for my school's yearbook committee, I've hit a bit of a dead end with modeling a specific relation. Currently I have a photo class class Photo(models.Model): photo = models.ImageField(upload_to="user_photos/") name = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=50) rating = models.IntegerField(default=1000) wi...

How do you wrap the view of a 3rd-party app (let's call the view to wrap "view2wrap" and the app "3rd_party_app") so you can do some custom things before the app does its thing? I've set urls.py to capture the correct url: url( r'^foo/bar/$', view_wrapper, name='my_wrapper'), I've created my custom view: from 3rd_party_app.views...
I want to use Python to convert a wav file to ogg vorbis format, so it can be streamed to a browser for playback. I've been able to use PyMedia 1.3.7.3 to encode to mp3 format, but when I set the output stream type to 'ogg', I get the error: oggvorbis_encode_init: init_encoder failed and the script dies. Perhaps I don't have the right ...

There is one function which accepts a field name from imported table and its value, does some actions on value and stores it in target dictionary under ...
I'm attempting to create what a believe (in my ignorance) is known as a class factory. Essentially, I've got a parent class that I'd like to take an __init__ argument and become one of several child classes. I found an example of this recommended on StackOverflow here, and it looks like this: class Vehicle(object): def __init__(self, ...
I'm calling rtmpdump via subprocess and trying to redirect its output to a file. The problem is that I simply can't redirect it. I tried first setting up the sys.stdout to the opened file. This works for, say, ls, but not for rtmpdump. I also tried setting the sys.stderr just to make sure and it also didn't work. I tried then using a "...

I store all the user data in a session object and this data gets called twice, one to render the HTML on the server side and another to send the data to the client side...
Does anyone know of a way to call MIT's Meep simulation package from C# (probably Mono, god help me). We're stuck with the #$@%#$^ CTL front-end, which is a productivity killer. Some other apps that we're integrating into our sim pipeline are in C# (.NET). I've seen a Python interface to Meep (light years ahead of CTL), but I'd like to...
Hi, I'm running Python 2.6.2 on XP. I have a large number of text files (100k+) spread across several folders that I would like to consolidate in a single folder on an external drive. I've tried using shutil.copy() and shutil.copytree() and distutils.file_util.copy_file() to copy files from source to destination. None of these methods ...
I'm using Python's xml.dom.minidom but I think the question is valid for any DOM parser. My original file has a line like this at the beginning: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> This doesn't seem to be part of the dom, so when I do something like dom.toxml() the resulting string have not line at the beginning....
This seems very verbose, particularly with long function names, is there a better way to do this in Python? if someRandomFunction(): variable = someRandomFunction() Edit: For more context variable is not already defined, and it will be a new node on a tree. I only want to create this node if someRandomFunction() returns a value. A...
