Does anyone know of a memory efficient way to generate very large xml files (e.g. 100-500 MiB) in Python?
I've been utilizing lxml, but memory usage is through the roof.

Hi
I have a list of points as shown below
points=[ [x0,y0,v0], [x1,y1,v1], [x2,y2,v2].......... [xn,yn,vn]]
Some of the points have duplicate x,y values. What I want to do is to extract the unique maximum value x,y points
For example, if I have points [1,2,5] [1,1,3] [1,2,7] [1,7,3]
I would like to obtain the list [1,1,3] [1,2,7] [1,7,3]
How can I do this in python
Thanks
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?
Hi
I wrote a matlab code (that easily could be implimented as a function) that convert a series of BMPs to avi. I want a python program to call to this program/function. how do I do it?
thanks
I have two floats in Python that I'd like to subtract, i.e.
v1 = float(value1)
v2 = float(value2)
diff = v1 - v2
I want "diff" to be computed upto two significant figures, that is compute it using %.2f of v1 and %.2f of v2. How can I do this? I know how to print v1 and v2 up to two decimals, but not how to do arithmetic like that.
thanks.
I'm using the following code to hide stderr on Linux/OSX for a Pythonlibrary 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.
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to automatically run commands on entering the python shell as you would with the .bash_profile or .profile scripts with bash. I would like to automatically import some modules so I don't have to type the whole shebang everytime I hop into the shell.
Thanks,
given a list of python strings, how can I automatically convert them to their correct type? Meaning, if I have:
["hello", "3", "3.64", "-1"]
I'd like this to be converted to the list
["hello", 3, 3.64, -1]
where the first element is a stirng, the second an int, the third a float and the fourth an int.
how can I do this? thanks.
Given a PyObject* pointing to a python object, how do I invoke one of the object methods? The documentation never gives an example of this:
PyObject* obj = ....
PyObject* args = Py_BuildValue("(s)", "An arg");
PyObject* method = PyWHATGOESHERE(obj, "foo");
PyObject* ret = PyWHATGOESHERE(obj, method, args);
if (!ret) {
// check error...
}
This would be the equivalent of
>>> ret = obj.foo("An arg")
I'm trying to use Emacs as a python editor and it works fine when I evaluate(C-c C-c) only single files but when I evaluate a file that imports another file in the same directory, I get an error saying that the file could not be imported.
Does anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks in advance
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!"
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!
Windows XP, Python 2.5:
hash('http://stackoverflow.com') Result: 1934711907
Google App Engine (http://shell.appspot.com/):
hash('http://stackoverflow.com') Result: -5768830964305142685
Why is that? How can I have a hash function which will give me same results across different platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac)?
Working with Python in Emacs if I want to add a try/catch to a block of code, I often find that I am having to indent the whole block, line by line. In Emacs, how do you indent the whole block at once.
I am not an experienced Emacs user, but just find it is the best tool for working through ssh. I am using Emacs on the command line(Ubuntu), not as a gui, if that makes any difference.
I'm writing a Python application, that I want to later migrate to GAE.
The new "Task Queues" API fulfills a requirement of my app, and I want to simulate it locally until I have the time to migrate the whole thing to GAE.
Does anyone know of a compatible module I can run locally?
In school I am part of a team of four working to create a GUI to translate the paper records of a made-up company and their functionality to a digital format. We're using an ASP.NET website for this purpose.
Basically we use stored procedures and C# classes to represent the database. The folder we're using for the project contains the site and the libraries in separate folders. If I try to open the site from the folder containing both these elements the site will not run. I want to know if there is some way I can set up a relative path to the database in the Settings.Settings.cs file (or by some other means) of my libraries so I don't have to constantly change the database location for the connection string value every time we move the project.
I suppose I should also mention that the database is in an App_Data folder.
I have
stringA = "xxxxxxFoundAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaFoundBxxxxxxx"
stringB = "FoundA"
stringC = "FoundB"
How do I do a regular expression in python in order to return aaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,
I'm having quite a problem deciding how to serve a few Python scripts.
The problem is that the basic functionality could be generalized by this:
do_something()
time.sleep(3)
do_something()
I tried various WSGI servers, but they have all been giving me concurrency limitations, as in I have to specify how many threads to use and so on.
I only wish that the resources on the server be used efficiently and liberally.
Any ideas?
Can you please give me a simple, and straightforward python example of sending an HTML e-mail using App Engine? Plaintext is straightforward, but I'm having difficulties with HTML tags.
Hi! I was wondering how to make a simple Clipboard Monitor in python, for GUI I'm using PyGTK.
I found gtk.clipboard class and all that but I couldn't find any solution to get the "signals" to trigger the event when the clipboard content has changed :(
Any ideas?
Thanks you! :)
In the effort to learn python and/or ruby, I was wondering how a file shredder would be implemented? I would like it to take in a file as an argument and then employ an algorithm to make that file unrecoverable. Would possibly add the support for multiple files or even whole directories later.
