I've recently discovered the very useful '-i' flag to Python -i : inspect interactively after running script, (also PYTHONINSPECT=x) and force prompts, even if stdin does not appear to be a terminal this is great for inspecting objects in the global scope, but what happens if the exception was raised in a function call, ...
I'm trying to extract data from the following page: http://www.bmreports.com/servlet/com.logica.neta.bwp_PanBMDataServlet?param1=&param2=&param3=&param4=&param5=2009-04-22&param6=37# Which, conveniently and inefficiently enough, includes all the data embedded as a csv file in the header, set as a variable called gs_...
These weekend I've been tearing down to pieces Michele Simionato's decorator module, that builds signature-preserving decorators. At the heart of it all there is a dynamically generated function, which works something similar to this... src = """def function(a,b,c) :\n return _caller_(a,b,c)\n""" evaldict = {'_caller_' : _caller_} co...
Let's say I have the following class class Parent(object): Options = { 'option1': 'value1', 'option2': 'value2' } And a subclass called Child class Child(Parent): Options = Parent.Options.copy() Options.update({ 'option2': 'value2', 'option3': 'value3' }) I want to be able to overrid...
Django has a DATE_FORMAT and a DATE_TIME_FORMAT options that allow us to choose which format to use when viewing dates, but doesn't apparently let me change the input format for the date when editing or adding in the Django Admin. The default for the admin is: YYYY-MM-DD But would be awesome to use: DD-MM-YYYY Is this integrated in an...
My hosting provider says my python script must be made to be executable(chmod755). What does this mean & how do I do it? Cheers! ...
I don't think this has been asked before-I have a folder that has lots of different .py files. The script I've made only uses some-but some call others & I don't know all the ones being used. Is there a program that will get everything needed to make that script run into one folder? Cheers! ...
I know how to set initial values to a form from the view. But how do I go about letting a generic view set initial values to a form? I can write a wrapper view for the generic view, but I still have no access to the form object instantiation. The specific goal I'm trying to achieve is to have a user create a new object, using the create...

Hi, I have an application written in python. I created a plugin system for the application that uses egg files. Egg files contain compiled python files and can be easily decompiled and used to hack the application. Is there a way to secure this system? I'd like to use digital signature for this - sign these egg files and check the signat...
In python 2.x I could do this: import sys, array a = array.array('B', range(100)) a.tofile(sys.stdout) Now however, I get a TypeError: can't write bytes to text stream. Is there some secret encoding that I should use? ...
How can I get the current date, month & year online using Python? Thanks! EDIT-By this I mean, rather than getting it from the computer's date-visit a website & get it, so it doesn't rely on the computer. ...
I have a CSV file with several entries, and each entry has 2 unix timestamp formatted dates. I have a method called convert(), which takes in the timestamp and converts it to YYYYMMDD. Now, since I have 2 timestamps in each line, how would I replace each one with the new value? EDIT: Just to clarify, I would like to convert each occur...

Can anyone tell me how could I data mine the XML file using an awk one-liner? For example, I would like to know attr3 of abc. It will return 345 to me. ...
I was just pleasantly surprised to came across the documentation of Python's compiler package, but noticed that it's gone in Python 3.0, without any clear replacement or explanation. I can't seem to find any discussion on python-dev about how this decision was made - does anyone have any insight inot this decision? ...

Press the key down = PIO High, release the Key = PIO goes low. What I need it for is not the problem. I kind of went down a rabbit hole trying to use a factory to create the key press call back funct...
