Encoding of string returned by GetUserName()
How do I get the encoding that is used for the string returned by GetUserName from the win32 API? I'm using pywin32 and it returns an 8-bit string.

I've written some python code to download an image using urllib.urlopen().read() and then upload it to an FTP site using ftplib.FTP().storbinary() but I'm having a problem.

Asynchronous File Upload to Amazon S3 with Django
I am using this file storage engine to store files to Amazon S3 when they are uploaded: http://code.welldev.org/django-storages/wiki/Home It takes quite a long time to upload because the file must first be uploaded from client to web server, and then web server to Amazon S3 before a response is returned to the client. I would like to ...
Line-wrapping problems with IPython shell
If I have run a long line in IPython, and try and recall it (using the up-arrow) or backspace beyond the start of the current line, it displays incorrectly (all smushed into one line) For example, in the following session I wrote a long line [1], entered a somewhat-blank line [2], then up-arrowed twice to get the print statement on line...

I'm building an app in python, and I need to get the URL of all links in one webpage.

Django: specifying a base template by directory

Memory efficiency: One large dictionary or a dictionary of smaller dictionaries?
I'm writing an application in Python (2.6) that requires me to use a dictionary as a data store. I am curious as to whether or not it is more memory efficient to have one large dictionary, or to break that down into many (much) smaller dictionaries, then have an "index" dictionary that contains a reference to all the smaller dictionarie...
How to do "performance-based" (benchmark) unit testing in Python
Let's say that I've got my code base to as high a degree of unit test coverage as makes sense. (Beyond a certain point, increasing coverage doesn't have a good ROI.) Next I want to test performance. To benchmark code to make sure that new commits aren't slowing things down needlessly. I was very intrigued by Safari's zero tolerance poli...
