I have a question about how python treats the methods passed to sorted(). Consider the following small script: #!/usr/bin/env python3 import random class SortClass: def __init__(self): self.x = random.choice(range(10)) self.y = random.choice(range(10)) def getX(self): return self.x def getY(self): ...

Does Python have an equivalent to the $OUTPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR or $\ in Perl? UPDATE: I totally had this wrong... I was looking for a Python equivalent to a $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR if there is such a thing? Something that you can override so that when you do a readline() type call its looking for something other than the newline char. S...

For fun, I've been toying around with writing a load balancer in python and have been trying to figure the best (correct?) way to test if a port is available and the remote host is still there. I'm finding that, once connected, it becomes difficult to tell when the remote host goes down. I've turned keep alive on, but can't get it to r...

I try to store a draft e-mail via IMAP to a folder running on MS Exchange. Everything ok, except that Bcc recipients don't get shown in the draft message stored on the server.

I want to do an app constantly watching the serial port and changing the user interface according to the input received from the port. I've managed to read lines from the port with pyserial under Linux, but I'm not sure how to do this in a regular fashion: create a separate thread and check for input on a timer event? How do i make sure ...

So far, my attempts at this have been unsuccessful. Any ideas how to do this? The code I have so far is below. import pygame import sys if __nam...
I have an XCode project built as a Cocoa single document application (it's not a Python-Cocoa application, that is not what I want). All the documentation I found assumes I want to create a Cocoa application with code written in Python and this is not the case - I want a standard Cocoa application that calls a method out of a Python cla...
While idly surfing the namespace I noticed an odd looking object called "Ellipsis", it does not seem to be or do anything special, but it's a globally available builtin. After a search I found that it is used in some obscure variant of the slicing syntax by Numpy and Scipy... but almost nothing else. Was this object added to the lang...

A friend of mine was talking about a word game she liked to play where you try to convert one word to another (they have the same number of letters) by switching one letter at a time, where each iteration produces a real word. Example: MOON --> WOLF GOON GOOF GOLF WOLF I figured it'd be a fun little project to write a prog...
Surely a 0d array is scalar, but Numpy does not seem to think so... am I missing something or am I just misunderstanding the concept? >>> foo = numpy.array(1.11111111111, numpy.float64) >>> numpy.ndim(foo) 0 >>> numpy.isscalar(foo) False >>> foo.item() 1.11111111111 ...
