I'm in a bit of a discussion with some other developers on an open source project. I'm new to python but it seems to me that site-packages is meant for libraries and not end user applications. Is that true or is site-packages an appropriate place to install an application meant to be run by an end user? ...

How do I get python to work with aptana studio? I've downloaded a bunch of stuff, but none of them seem to give me a straight text editor where I can interpret code into an executable type thing. I know there's interactive mode in IDLE, but I want to actually use an editor. So I downloaded the pydev extensions for Aptana studio, but it ...

I'm trying to write a function to return the truth value of a given PyObject. This function should return the same value as the if() truth test -- empty lists and strings are False, etc. I have been looking at the python/include headers, but haven't found anything that seems to do this. The closest I came was PyObject_RichCompare() with ...

Here's code that displays the error: import email data = file('testmessage.txt').read() msg = email.message_from_string( data ) payload = msg.get_payload(decode=True) print payload And here's a sample message: tes...
Hey guys, I'm looking for the number of free bytes on my HD, but have trouble doing so on python. I've tried the following: import os stat = os.statvfs(path) print stat.f_bsize * stat.f_bavail But, on OS/X it gives me a 17529020874752 bytes, which is about about 1.6 TB, which would be very nice, but unfortunately not really true. ...
I've got a thread that's polling a piece of hardware. while not hardware_is_ready(): pass process_data_from_hardware() But there are other threads (and processes!) that might have things to do. If so, I don't want to burn up cpu checking the hardware every other instruction. It's been a while since I've dealt with threading, and...
I need rsvg support in Python 2.5.2. It appears that I have to install all 199 deps along with the package python-gnome2-desktop, which doesn't sound fun at all. Alternatives? ...
I know that you can use the ctypes library to perform case insensitive comparisons on strings, however I would like to perform case insensitive replacement too. Currently the only way I know to do this is with Regex's and it seems a little poor to do so via that. Is there a case insensitive version of replace()? ...

I'm looking at PyOpenAL for some sound needs with Python (obviously). Documentation is sparse (consisting of a demo script, which doesn't work unmodified) but as far as I can tell, there are two layers. Direct wrapping of OpenAL calls and a lightweight 'pythonic' wrapper - it is the latter I'm concerned with. Specifically, how do you cle...
