We're talking about uses; not static vs. dynamic typing, whitespace indentation, etc. It seems Python and Java are similar in that they are both cross-platform and used in the desktop programming and server programming arts. How is Python being used like Java? Is it another good way to write your cross-platform software? ...
Python is doing string multiplication where I would expect it to do numeric multiplication, and I don't know why. >>> print('%d' % 2 * 4) 2222 >>> print('%d' % (2 * 4)) 8 Even forcing the type to integer does nothing. (I realize this is redundant, but it's an idiot-check for me: >>> print('%d' % int(2) * int(4)) 2222 Obviously I ...
I've looked at vObject, iCalendar and the official list of CalDAV libraries, including 3 in python. However, I can't find any code that can get me an event object from a given CalDAV (i.e. google, exchange, etc.) server using a username/password. Most of the django calendar related code uses native code libraries and not WebDAV. An idea...
I am trying to use parameter substitution with SQLite within Python for an IN clause. Here is a complete running example that demonstrates: import sqlite3 c = sqlite3.connect(":memory:") c.execute('CREATE TABLE distro (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT)') for name in 'Ubuntu Fedora Puppy DSL SuSE'.split(): c.execute('...
I'm having problems with smtplib tying up my program when email sending fails, because a timeout is never raised. The server I'm using does not and will never have python greater than 2.4, so I can't make use of the timeout argument to the SMTP constructor in later versions of python. Python 2.4's docs show that the SMTP class does not ...

I've got the code below, and I was planning on making several classes all within the same "import". I was hoping to instantiate each class and get a return value with the widgets I'm making. This isn't really a PyQt question at all, more of a "good practices" question, as I'll have a class for each widget. Should I make functions th...
I'm trying to make my program faster, so I'm profiling it. Right now the top reason is: 566 1.780 0.003 1.780 0.003 (built-in method decode) What is this exactly? I never call 'decode' anywhere in my code. It reads text files, but I don't believe they are unicode-encoded. ...
What is the best way to dynamically create a Python object instance when all you have is the Python class saved as a string? For background, I am working in the Google Application Engine environment and I want to be able to load classes dynamically from a string version of the class. problem = “1,2,3,4,5” solvertext1 = “””class solv...

Hi, Is it possible to use XPath Query in Python while processing XML. I am using minidom which doesn't support that. Is there any other module for that? ...
Hi, Context: Imagine that you have a standard CherryPy hello word app: def index(self): return "Hello world!" index.exposed = True and you would like to do some post-processing, i.e. record request processing or just log the fact that we were called from specific IP. What you would do is probably: def index(self): sel...

When using ConfigParser module I would like to use values containing of multiple words set in cfg file. In this case seems trivial for me to surround the string with quotes like (example.cfg): [GENERAL] onekey = "value in some words" My problem is that in this case python appends the quotes to the string as well when using the value l...

After the remote computer is connected, I can execute other commands. However I cannot get the result in python again. p = pexpect.spawn("ssh user@remote_computer") print "connecting..." p.waitnoe...
I'm thinking of switching from using PHP to Python for web applications, but I was wondering if Python is as adept as weaving in and out of HTML as PHP is. Essentially, I find it very easy/intuitive to use <? and ?> to put PHP where I want, and am then free to arrange/organize my HTML however I want. Is it just as easy to do this with Py...
