I'm using Carrot for a message queue in a Django project and followed the tutorial, and it works fine. But the example runs in the console, and I'm wondering how I apply this in Django. The publisher class I'm calling from one of my models in models.py, so that's OK. But I have no idea where to put the consumer class. Since it just sit...
Are there any security exploits that could occur in this scenario: eval(repr(unsanitized_user_input), {"__builtins__": None}, {"True":True, "False":False}) where unsanitized_user_input is a str object. The string is user-generated and could be nasty. Assuming our web framework hasn't failed us, it's a real honest-to-god str instance f...

There is a lot of discussions of Python vs Ruby, and I all find them completely unhelpful, because they all turn around why feature X sucks in language Y, or that claim language Y doesn't have X, although in fact it does. I also know exactly why I prefer Python, but that's also subjective, and wouldn't help anybody choosing, as they migh...

I'm currently attempting to migrate a legacy VBA/Microsoft Access application to Python and PyQt. I've had no problems migrating any of the logic, and most of the forms have been a snap, as well. However, I've hit a problem on the most important part of the application--the main data-entry form. The form is basically a row of text boxes...

Let's say class A is the superclass, and class B, C, and D are children of that class. Both class B and class C can have multiples of class D, however I've seen tha...
