I gather (correct me) that there's no standard encoding of file attributes, link types, size, date ... in html <A attributes so building a solid URLtree module on shifting sands is tough. But surely this wheel...
Let's say I have a socket connection, and the 3rd party listener on the other side expects to see data flowing in a very structured manner.

I just got my first Jython (and Python) project, and I was wondering what documentation, IDEs, etc. are best suited to a Java buff like me. I know there are a lot of questions about starting out with Python, so I'm asking for things that might be specific to Jython. Where should I start? If it helps, I'm running Linux and Solaris only....

I don't have a problem changing the compilation symbol to PYTHON26 as specified in the docs, the solution rebuilds just fine, but when attempting to import the CLR, I get an error indicating that python26.dll is missing. Anyone know how to build this file? I...
I need to connect to a SOAP API in Python. A quick google led me here. Awesome, I thought, that looks perfect. However SOAPpy doesn't work with any moderately recent version of Python, and even if I could fix that, it depends on PyXML, which seems to have dropped off the net. So my question: what is the best library to use to connect to...

Nearly all the other objects in the game need to access the IO system at some point (e.g. printing a message, updating...

EDIT: I am fully aware that there are editors and environments that are better suited to Python development, but I am really just interested to see if there is a th...
