  • Python style: if statements vs. boolean evaluation

    - by mkscrg
    One of the ideas of Python's design philosophy is "There should be one ... obvious way to do it." (PEP 20), but that can't always be true. I'm specifically referring to (simple) if statements versus boolean evaluation. Consider the following: if words: self.words = words else: self.words = {} versus self.words = words or {} With such a simple situation, which is preferable, stylistically speaking? With more complicated situations one would choose the if statement for readability, right?

  • Python command line - add PYTHONPATH during module run

    - by orokusaki
    I want to run: python somescript.py somecommand But, when I run this I need PYTHONPATH to include a certain directory. I can't just add it to my environment variables because the directory I want to add changes based on what project I'm running. Is there a way to alter PYTHONPATH while running a script? Note: I don't even have a PYTHONPATH variable, so I don't need to worry about appending to it vs overriding it during running of this script.

  • How does Python store lists internally?

    - by Mike Cooper
    How are lists in python stored internally? Is it an array? A linked list? Something else? Or does the interpreter guess at the right structure for each instance based on length, etc. If the question is implementation dependent, what about the classic CPython?

  • Python: Run a progess bar and work simultaneously?

    - by DanielTA
    I want to know how to run a progress bar and some other work simultaneously, then when the work is done, stop the progress bar in Python (2.7.x) import sys, time def progress_bar(): while True: for c in ['-','\\','|','/']: sys.stdout.write('\r' + "Working " + c) sys.stdout.flush() time.sleep(0.2) def work(): *doing hard work* How would I be able to do something like: progress_bar() #run in background? work() *stop progress bar* print "\nThe work is done!"

  • Python - How is this snippet working?

    - by orokusaki
    For some reason this function confused me: def protocol(port): return port == "443" and "https://" or "http://" Can somebody explain the order of what's happening behind the scenes to make this work the way it does. I understood it as this until I tried it: Either A) def protocol(port): if port == "443": if bool("https://"): return True elif bool("http://"): return True return False Or B) def protocol(port): if port == "443": return True + "https://" else: return True + "http://" Is this some sort of special case in Python, or am I completely misunderstanding how statements work?

  • python interpreter waits for child process to die

    - by Moulik Kallupalam
    Contents of check.py: from multiprocessing import Process import time import sys def slp(): time.sleep(30) f=open("yeah.txt","w") f.close() if __name__=="__main__" : x=Process(target=slp) x.start() sys.exit() In windows 7, from cmd, if I call python check.py, it doesn't immediately exit, but instead waits for 30 seconds. And if I kill cmd, the child dies too- no "yeah.txt" is created. How do I make ensure the child continues to run even if parent is killed and also that the parent doesn't wait for child process to end?

  • Python: if key in dict vs. try/except

    - by LeeMobile
    I have a question about idioms and readability, and there seems to be a clash of Python philosophies for this particular case: I want to build dictionary A from dictionary B. If a specific key does not exist in B, then do nothing and continue on. Which way is better? try: A["blah"] = B["blah"] except KeyError: pass or if "blah" in B: A["blah"] = B["blah"] "Do and ask for forgiveness" vs. "simplicity and explicitness". Which is better and why?

  • Restrictons of Python compared to Ruby: lambda's

    - by Shyam
    Hi, I was going over some pages from WikiVS, that I quote from: because lambdas in Python are restricted to expressions and cannot contain statements I would like to know what would be a good example (or more) where this restriction would be, preferably compared to the Ruby language. Thank you for your answers, comments and feedback!

  • Cross platform /dev/null in Python

    - by Tristan
    I'm using the following code to hide stderr on Linux/OSX for a Python library I do not control that writes to stderr by default: f = open("/dev/null","w") zookeeper.set_log_stream(f) Is there an easy cross platform alternative to /dev/null? Ideally it would not consume memory since this is a long running process.
