I am building an application where I am trying to allow users to submit a list of company and date pairs and find out whether or not there was a news event on that date. The news events are stored in a dictionary with a company identifier and a date as a key. newsDict('identifier','MM/DD/YYYY')=[list of news events for that date] ...
After asking this question back in November, I've been very happy with ReportLab for all of my python pdf-generation needs. However, it turns out that while ReportLab will use regular TrueType (TTF) fonts, it does not support OpenType (OTF) fonts. One of the current widgets I'm working on is going to need to use some OpenType fonts, an...
I am just trying to get into python, but I've found it very difficult to find any resource that is Python 3. All I've got so far is diveintopython3.org, and its limited. Anyways, I was just trying to get a feel for the language by doing some very basic stuff, but I can't figure out why this little program won't do what I intend, which is...
Hi, I am going to start up gdb from python. For example: prog.shell.py: #do lots of things # # p.subprocess.Popen("gdb --args myprog", shell=True, stdin=sys.stdin, stdout=sys.stdout) But the gdb is not invoked as I expected, the interaction with gdb is broken. I have also tried os.system(), but it still doesnt work....

How do I set up module imports so that each module can access the objects of all the others? I have a medium size Python application with modules files in various subdirectories. I have created modules that append these subdirectories to sys.path and imports a group of modules, using import thisModule as tm. Module objects are referre...
Given a python file with the following repeated endlessly: def myFunction(a, b, c): if a: print b elif c: print 'hello' I'd like to move around and edit this file using familiar vim movements. For instance, using (, ), [[, ]], {, } or deleting/yanking/changing text using commands like di}. In other languages ...
Hi everyone, A Django autofield when displayed using a formset is hidden by default. What would be the best way to show it? At the moment, the model is declared as, class MyModel: locid = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) ... When this is rendered using Django formsets, class MyModelForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model ...
I have a few values that I would like to pass into a filter and get a URL out of it. In my template I have: {% if names %} {% for name in names %} <a href='{{name|slugify|add_args:"custid=name.id, sortid=2"}}'>{{name}}</a> {%if not forloop.last %} | {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% endif %} In my templatetags I have: @registe...
I want to integrate my mobile POS system with quickbooks (I need customers, sellers, inventory & post orders & invoices). I have not not been able to find a python library for this. ...
The default Django's User model has some fields, and validation rules, that I don't really need. I want to make registration as simple as possible, i.e. require either email or username, or phone number - all those being unique, hence good as user identifiers. I also don't like default character set for user name that is validated in D...
Alright, I know I've asked similar questions, but I feel this is hopefully a bit different. I'm integrating django.comments into my application, and the more I play with it, the more I realize it may not even be worth my while at the end of the day. That aside, I've managed to add Captcha to my comments, and I've learned that customizing...

As the question title might suggest, I would very much like to know of the way to check the ntfs permissions of the given file or folder (hint: those are the ones you see in the "security" tab). Basically, what I need is to take a path to a file or directory (on a local machine, or, preferrably, on a share on a remote machine) and get th...
Hi everyone, I have a model MyModel which contains a PK - locid, that is an AutoField. I want to construct a model formset from this, with some caveats: The queryset for the formset should be a custom one (say, order_by('field')) rather than all() Since locid for MyModel is an AutoField and thus hidden by default, I want to be able t...
I'd like to write a simple application that runs multiple programs and displays their output in multiple terminal (style) windows. In addition, I want to be able to read the stdout/stderr of these processes and search for keywords in the output. I've tried implementing this two ways in python, the first using subprocess.Popen and the s...
I've tried all manner of Python modules and they either escape too much or in the wrong way. What's the best way you've found to escape quotes (", ') in Python? ...
I have a python cgi script that receives files uploaded via a http post. The files can be large (300+ Mb). The thing is, cgi.FieldStorage() is incredibly slow for getting the file (a 300Mb file took 6 minutes to be "received"). Doing the same by just reading the stdin took around 15 seconds. The problem with the latter is, i would have t...
I have a list of callback functions that I need to invoke when an event is fired. Is this idiomatic python? def first_callback(m): print 'first ' + m def second_callback(m): print 'second ' + m lst = [first_callback, second_callback] map(lambda x: x("event_info"),lst) #is this how you do it? ...
