I am in the process of writing a small(er) Python script to automate a semi-frequent, long, and error-prone task. This script is responsible for making various system calls - either though os.system or through os.(mkdir|chdir|etc). Here is an example of my code right now: class AClass: def __init__(self, foo, bar, verbose=False, s...

Hi, I'm interested in writing a short python script which uploads a short binary file (.wav/.raw audio) via a POST request to a remote server. I've done this with pycurl, which makes it very simple and results in a concise script; unfortunately it also requires that the end user have pycurl installed, which I can't rely on. I've al...

I have written a [VERY] basic clone of this mechanism in Python: def Str...
