I'm wondering how the best way to build a way to interface with Yahoo Chat is. I haven't found anything that looks incredibly easy to do yet. One thought it to build it all from scratch, the other thought would be to grab the code from open source software. I could use something like zinc, however, this maybe more complex than it need...
The code below projects the blue vector, AC, onto the red vector, AB, the resulting projected vector, AD, is drawn as purple. This is intended as my own implementation of this Wolfram demonstration. Something is wrong however and I can really figure out what. Should be either that the projection formula itself is wrong or that I mistake...
Hi, The bus company I use runs an awful website (Hebrew,English) which making a simple "From A to B timetable today" query a nightmare. I suspect they are trying to encourage the usage of the costly SMS query system. I'm trying to harvest the entire timetable from the site, by submitting the query for every possible point to every poss...

Hi there, I'm currently toying with python at home and I'm planning to switch to python 3.1. The fact is that I have some script that use python 2.6 and I can't convert them since they use some module that aren't available for python 3.1 atm. So I'm considering installing python 3.1 along my python 2.6. I only found people on internet t...
I'm trying to subclass the built-in file class in Python to add some extra features to stdin and stdout. Here's the code I have so far: class TeeWithTimestamp(file): """ Class used to tee the output of a stream (such as stdout or stderr) into another stream, and to add a timestamp to each message printed.

Hi there, I am experimenting with several languages (Python, Ruby...), and I would like to know if there is a way to optimize my Apache Server to load certain modules only in certain VirtualHost, for instance: http://myapp1 <- just with Ruby support http://myapp2 <- just with Python support http://myapp3 <- just with Php support ... ...

Hello everyone, I have been teaching myself the rudiments of Python and have reached a stage where I would like to tackle a project of increasing complexity in order to "scratch an itch".

I'm working in the Google App Engine environment and programming in Python. I am creating a function that essentially generates a random number/letter string and then stores to the memcache. def generate_random_string(): # return a random 6-digit long string def check_and_store_to_memcache(): randomstring = generate_random_strin...

I been trying all day to figure out the Qt's Phonon library with Python. My long term goal is to see if I could get it to play a mms:// stream, but since I can't find an implementation of this done anywhere, I will figure that part out myself. (figured I'd put it out there if anyone knew more about this specifically, if not no big deal...
I'm slowly building a web browser in PyQt4 and like the speed i'm getting out of it. However, I want to combine easylist.txt with it. I believe adblock uses this to block http requests by the browser. How would you go about it using python/PyQt4? [edit1] Ok. I think i've setup Privoxy. I haven't setup any additional filters and it seem...
Best practices aside, is there a compelling reason not to do this? I'm writing a post-commit hook for use with a Google Code project, which provides commit data via a JSON object. GC provides an HMAC authentication token along with the request (outside the JSON data), so by validating that token I gain high confidence that the JSON dat...
Hi all, i'm just testing out the csv component in python, and i am having some trouble with it. I have a fairly standard csv string, and the default options all seems to fit with my test, but the result shouldn't group 1, 2, 3, 4 in a row and 5, 6, 7, 8 in a row? Thanks a lot for any enlightenment provided! Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600,...

Hi, I'm looking for a way to create a graphics file (I don't really mind the file type, as they are easily converted). The input would be the desired resolution, and a list of pixels and colors (x, y, RGB color). Is there a convenient python library for that? What are the pros\cons\pitfalls? Udi ...
