This may be silly, but its been nagging the back of my brain for a while. So Python gives us two built-in ways to delete attributes from objects, the del command word and the delattr built-in function. I prefer delattr because it I think its a bit more explicit: del foo.bar delattr(foo, "bar") But I'm wondering if there might be und...
Say you are telneting into IRC to figure out how it all works. As you issue commands the IRC server returns data telling you what it's doing. Once I have created a default script that basically is how a normal IRC connection between server and client occurs, if it ever deviates from that it won't tell me what is wrong. I need to be ab...

I've got a python script that loops indefinitely waiting for input, and then does something when the input happens. My problem is then making python tell emacs to do something. I just need some way to send emacs input and make emacs evaluate that input. Here's some code to illustrate my problem... while(1): on_off = query_lightswit...

Hi, I'm writing a RESTful API in Python using the restish framework. I would like to write some unit tests (using the unittest package, for example), that will make different requests to my application and validate the results. The unit tests should be able to run as-is, without needing to start a separate web-server process. How do I...

Using the Python portion, I have recursion problems as noted in Issue 70 and Issue 59 but can't find a recent Mercurial revision that is stable.

What is the equivalent list comprehension in python of the following Common Lisp code: (loop for x = input then (if (evenp x) (/ x 2) (+1 (* 3 x))) collect x until (= x 1)) ...
Example: It's really annoying to type a list of strings in python: ["January", "February", "March", "April", ...] I often do something like this to save me having to type quotation marks all over the place: "January February March April May June July August ...".split() Those took the same amount of time, and I got 2x the # of mont...
I wanted to use the Python installed under cygwin rather than one installed under WinXP directly, so I edited ~/.bashrc and sourced it. Nothing changed. I tried other things, but nothing I did changed $PATH in any way. So I rebooted. Aha; now $PATH has changed to what I wanted. But, can anyone explain WHY this happened? When do cha...
I'm wondering if Python has anything like the C# anonymous classes feature. To clarify, here's a sample C# snippet: var foo = new { x = 1, y = 2 }; var bar = new { y = 2, x = 1 }; foo.Equals(bar); // "true" In Python, I would imagine something like this: foo = record(x = 1, y = 2) bar = record(y = 2, x = 1) foo == bar # true The s...
I'm having trouble using python function decorators in Google's AppEngine. I'm not that familiar with decorators, but they seem useful in web programming when you might want to force a user to login before executing certain functions. Anyway, I was following along with a flickr login example here that uses django and decorates a func...

I could use a lock or semaphore but the python implementation is for threads only, so if the production server forks then those will not be respected. Does anyone know of a way (I am thinking posix semaphores right now) to guarantee a lock across processes, or barring ...
