So some internal application sends off a request to /import/?a=1&b=2&c=3, for example.

Distributing Ruby/Python desktop apps
Is there any way besides Shoes to develop and distribute cross-platform GUI desktop applications written in Ruby? I come to believe that general bugginess of _why's applications is exceptionally crippling in case of Shoes, and anything more complex than a two-button form is a pain to maintain. RubyGTK, wxRuby, etc seem to be promising,...

Python 2.6 subprocess.call() appears to be invoking setgid behavior triggering Perl's taint checks. How can I resolve?
I've got some strange behavioral differences between Python's subprocess.call() and os.system() that appears to be related to setgid. The difference is causing Perl's taint checks to be invoked when subprocess.call() is used, which creates problems because I do not have the ability to modify all the Perl scripts that would need untaint c...

Python Extension Returned Object Etiquette
I am writing a python extension to provide access to Solaris kstat data ( in the same spirit as the shipping perl library Sun::Solaris::Kstat ) and I have a question about conditionally returning a list or a single object.

How does Spring for Python compare with Spring for Java

Passing data to mod_wsgi
In mod_wsgi I send the headers by running the function start_response(), but all the page content is passed by yield/return. Is there a way to pass the page content in a similar fashion as start_response()? Using the return.yield statement is very restrictive when it comes to working with chunked data. E.g. def Application(): b = ...
Regular expression syntax for "match nothing"?
Hello. I have a python template engine that heavily uses regexp. It's uses concatenation like re.compile( regexp1 + "|" + regexp2 + "*|" + regexp3 + "+" ) I can modify individual substrings (regexp1, regexp2 etc). Is it any small and light expression that match nothing so i can use it inside a template where i don't want any matches...

But, as I started to read a guide on how to integrate python. In the article the author says: There are se...

Validating a slug in Django
Hi I'm guessing this is going to involve regexp or something, but I'll give it a shot. At the minute, a user can break a website by typing something similar to £$(*£$(£@$&£($ in the title field, which is converted into a slug using Django slugify. Because none of these characters can be converted, Django returns an error. My question ...
