In my app I need to watch a directory for new files. The amount of traffic is very large and there are going to be a minimum of hundreds of new files per second appearing. Currently I'm using a busy loop with this kind of idea: while True: time.sleep(0.2) if len(os.listdir('.')) > 0: # do stuff After running profiling I'm seei...
I'm currently using Django 1.1 beta for some personal projects, and plan to start messing arround with the trunk to see the new stuff under the hood. But I might start using it on a professional basis, and I'd need to know if trunk is stable enough for using in production, or I should stick to 1.0 for mission critical systems. Edit Put...
I have a process that I run every day. It uses Python logging. How would I configure the python logging module to write to a file containing the current date in the file name?

So you can use distutils to create a file, such as PIL-1.1.6.win32-py2.5.exe which you can run and use to easily install something. However, the installation requires user input to proceed (you have to click 'OK' three times). I want to create an easily installable windows version that you can just run as a cmd line program, that does...

I am getting ready to deploy my first Django application and am hitting a bit of a roadblock. My base template relies on me passing in the session object so that it can read out the currently logged in user's name. This isn't a problem when I control the code that is calling a template. However, as part of getting this app ready to be...
In Java, for example, the @Override annotation not only provides compile-time checking of an override but makes for excellent self-documenting code. I'm just looking for documentation (although if it's an indicator to some checker like pylint, that's a bonus). I can add a comment or docstring somewhere, but what is the idiomatic way to i...
It appears to me that Django and Pylons have different ideas on how middleware should work. I like that Pylons follows the standardized PEP 333, but Django seems to have more widespread adoption. Is it possible to write middleware to be used in both? The project that involves said middleware is porting a security toolkit called ESAPI fr...
