I'm curious...I've read much of Python being on the approved list of languages used by Google employees, and I know they employ Guido. That said, is their use of Python focused mainly on managing servers and applications, and not for developing the applications themselves? If so, why? It seems most I read indicates they use Java for the ...
I need to write a python script that makes multiple HTTP requests to the same site. Unless I'm wrong (and I may very well be) urllib reauthenticates for every request. For reasons I won't go into I need to be able to authenticate once and then use that session for the rest of my requests. I'm using python 2.3.4 ...
I am trying to scrape rows off of over 1200 .htm files that are on my hard drive. On my computer they are here 'file:///home/phi/Data/NHL/pl07-08/PL020001.HTM'. These .htm files are sequential from *20001.htm until *21230.htm. My plan is to eventually toss my data in MySQL or SQLite via a spreadsheet app or just straight in if I can get ...
I'd like to match the contents within each paragraph in html using a python regular expression. These paragraphs always have BR tags inside them like so: <p class="thisClass">this is nice <br /><br /> isn't it?</p> I'm currently using this pattern: pattern = re.compile('<p class=\"thisClass\">(.*?)<\/p>') Then I'm using: pattern.f...
I want to do a functional like pattern match to get the first two elements, and then the rest of an array return value. For example, assume that perms(x) returns a list of values, and I want to do this: seq=perms(x) a = seq[0] b = seq[1] rest = seq[2:] Of course I can shorten to: [a,b] = seq[0:2] rest = seq[2:] Can I use some not...
I'm developing a script that runs a program with other scripts over and over for testing purposes. How it currently works is I have one Python script which I launch. That script calls the program and loads the other scripts. It kills the program after 60 seconds to launch the program again with the next script. For some scripts, 60 sec...
Scenario: I have a php page in which I call a python script. Python script when run on the command line (Linux) shows output on the command line, as well as writes the output to a file. Python script when run through php, doesn't do either. Elaboration: I use a simple system command in PHP to run the python script as: /var/www/htm...
I am writing automation code in python to test the behavior of a network application. As such, my code needs to be able to start a process/script (say, tcpdump or a python script) on a server in the network, disconnect, run other processes and then later return and shutdown/evaluate the process started earlier. My network is a mix of w...
I want to code up a panel that will be used both in Linux and Windows. Ideally it will be written in Python using PyQT. What I've found so far is the QSystemTrayIcon widget, and while that is quite useful, that's not quite what I'm looking for. That widget lets you attach a menu to the left and right clicks of an icon on the system tray...
I am trying to find a way of calling def templates determined by the data available in the context. Edit: A simpler instance of the same question. It is possible to emit the value of an object in the context: # in python ctx = Context(buffer, website='stackoverflow.com') # in mako <%def name="body()"> I visit ${website} all the time...

Hi. I'm trying to use python to parse a log file and match 4 pieces of information in one regex. (epoch time, SERVICE NOTIFICATION, hostname and CRITICAL) I can't seem to get this to work. So Far I've been able to only match two of the four. Is it possible to do this? Below is an example of a string from the log file and the code I've go...

The site is written in django (python) using mysql, memcached, ngnix, and apache Let's say, for instance, my site sells books. As a user browses around my site I'd like to keep track of which books they've viewed, ...
Referring on this question, i have a similar -but not the same- problem.. On my way, i'll have some text file, structured like: var_a: 'home' var_b: 'car' var_c: 15.5 And i need that python read the file and then create a variable named var_a with value 'home', and so on. Example: #python stuff over here getVarFromFile(filename) #t...
Instead of the default "boxed" axis style I want to have only the left and bottom axis, i.e.: +------+ | | | | | | ---> | | | | +------+ +------- This should be easy, but I can't find the necessary options in the docs. ...
I need a file system walker that I could instruct to ignore traversing directories that I want to leave untouched, including all subdirectories below that branch. The os.walk and os.path.walk just don't do it. ...
Hi, I know this must be a trivial question, but I've tried many different ways, and searched quie a bit for a solution, but how do I create and reference subfunctions in the current module? For example, I am writing a program to parse through a text file, and for each of the 300 different names in it, I want to assign to a category. T...

I want to be able to upload multiple images (varying number) inline for each portfolio item, and I can't see an obvious way to do it. The most user-friendly way I can see would be a file upload form with a JavaScript control that allows the...
