How do I take advantage of HTTP 1.1's compression when downloading web pages using Python? I am currently using the built-in urllib module for downloading web content. Reading through the documentation I couldn't find any information that is indeed using compression. Is it already built-in into urllib or is there another library that ...

I wrote a Python program that acts on a large input file to create a few million objects representing triangles. The algorithm is: read an input file process the file and create a list of triangles, represented by their vertices output the vertices in the OFF format: a list of vertices followed by a list of triangles. The triangles a...
Is there any efficient mass string concatenation method in Python (like StringBuilder in C# or StringBuffer in Java)? I found following methods here: Simple concatenation using '+' Using UserString from MutableString module Using character array and the array module Using string list and join method Using cStringIO from StringIO module...

I am trying to find corresponding keys in two different dictionaries. Each has about 600k entries. Say for example: myRDP = { 'Actinobacter': 'GATCGA...TCA', 'subtilus sp.': 'ATCGATT...ACT' } myNames = { 'Actinobacter': '8924342' } I want to print out the value for Actinobacter (8924342) since it matches a value in myRDP.

Let's say my main controller 'hotels' has a pattern for the url, such as: /hotels/colorado/aspen/hotel-name/ How should I program my controller ( keep in mind I'm still learning MVC ) to handle this variable? I know that I have to probably check if anything after /hotels/ is set, otherwise show the default hotels page. If a state is s...
Hello, I'm making a program that, for reasons not needed to be explained, requires a float to be converted into a string to be counted with len(). However, str(float(x)) results in x being rounded when converted to a string, which throws the entire thing off. Does anyone know of a fix for it? Here's the code being used if you want to kno...
I'm developing a Python application; it has all its code in one package and runs inside this of course. The application's Python package is of no interest from the interpreter to the user, it's simply a GUI application. The question is, which style is preferred when importing modules inside the application package from application impo...
I'm writing unit tests for a function that takes both an *args and a **kwargs argument. A reasonable use-case for this function is using keyword arguments after the *args argment, i.e. of the form def f(a, *b, **c): print a, b, c f(1, *(2, 3, 4), keyword=13) Now this only became legal in Python 2.6; in earlier versions the above ...
I'm using SQLobject and so far was not able to find a elegant solution for "update row in the db or vreate a new one if it doesn't exist. Currently I use following somewhat convoluted code: args = dict(artnr=artnr, name=name, hersteller='?', hersteller_name='?') if cs.datamart.ArtNrNameHersteller.selectBy(artnr=artnr).count(): row ...

I looked into Logix and EasyExtend for Python. Logix hasn't been around for a while and it failed to install on Python 2.6. EasyExtend's tutorial is hopeless, the code in the tutorial doesn't even work. I am looking for something so I can write my DSL. My DSL will be used as a research tool. And I don't want to spend time learning all t...
Why is the Borg pattern better than the Singleton pattern? I ask because I don't see them resulting in anything different. Borg: class Borg: __shared_state = {} # init internal state variables here __register = {} def __init__(self): self.__dict__ = self.__shared_state if not self.__register: self._init_default_r...

I have heard that Ctypes can cause crashes (or stop errors) in Python and windows. Should I stay away from their use? Where did I hear? It was back when I tried to control various aspects of windows, automation, that sort of thing. I hear of swig, but I see Ctypes more often than not. Any danger here? If so, what should I watch out for?...
Hello everyone, I've been playing with Django's i18n system and it seems to be mostly working. However, dates in model code seem to be causing a problem. I use datetime.strftime to populate a few CHOICES tuples which are then used in forms. From what I understood, django will set the locale to the user's choice so that datetime.strft...
