Apparently libigraph and python-igraph are the only packages on earth that can't be installed via apt-get or easy_install under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64-bit. Installing both from source from source on seems to go smoothly...until I try to use them. When I run python I get: >>> import igraph Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>...
Hi, I'm looking for a library to draw ASCII graphs (for use in a console) with Python. The graph is quite simple: it's only a flow chart for pipelines. I saw NetworkX and igraph, but didn't see a way to output to ascii. Do you have experience in this? Thanks a lot! Patrick EDIT 1: I actually found a library doing what I need, but i...
I have a mapping of catalog numbers to product names: 35 cozy comforter 35 warm blanket 67 pillow and need a search that would find misspelled, mixed names like "warm cmfrter". We have code using edit-distance (difflib), but it probably won't scale to the 18000 names. I achieved something similar with Lucene, but as PyLucene only...
I've come across a place in my current project where I have created several classes for storing a complicated data structure in memory and a completed SQL schema for storing the same data in a database. I've decided to use SQLAlchemy as an ORM layer as it seems the most flexible solution that I can tailor to my needs. My problem is tha...
I have been playing around with Python's FTP library and am starting to think that it is too slow as compared to using a script file in DOS? I run sessions where I download thousands of data files (I think I have over 8 million right now). My observation is that the download process seems to take five to ten times as long in Python th...

Sphinx is a new documentation tool for Python. It looks very nice. What I'm wondering is: How suitable this is for documenting a C++ project? Are there any tools for converting existing documentation (e.g. doxygen) to Sphinx format? Are there online/downloadable examples of C++ projects that use Sphinx? Any tips from anyone who has use...
It looks like the lists returned by keys() and values() methods of a dictionary are always a 1-to-1 mapping (assuming the dictionary is not altered between calling the 2 methods). For example: >>> d = {'one':1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3} >>> k, v = d.keys(), d.values() >>> for i in range(len(k)): print d[k[i]] == v[i] True True True ...

I need to identify some locations in a file where certain markers might be. I started off thinking that I would use list.index but I soon discovered that returns the first (and only the first) item. so I decided to implement my own solution which was count=0 docIndex=[] for line in open('myfile.txt','r'): if 'mystring' in line: ...
