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.
Cant download any pyhton windows modules and install. I wanted to experiment with scrapy framework and stackless but unable to install due to error "Python veIrsion 2.6 required, which was not found in the registry".
Trying to install it to
Windows 7, 64 bit machine
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
Since input and raw_input() stop the program from running anymore, I want to use a subprocess to run this program...
while True: print raw_input()
and get its output.
This is what I have as my reading program:
import subprocess
process = subprocess.Popen('python subinput.py', stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
while True:
output=process.stdout.read(12)
if output=='' and process.poll()!=None:
break
if output!='':
sys.stdout.write(output)
sys.stdout.flush()
When I run this, the subprocess exits almost as fast as it started. How can I fix this?
I'd like to work with a dict in python, but limit the number of key/value pairs to X. In other words, if the dict is currently storing X key/value pairs and I perform an insertion, I would like one of the existing pairs to be dropped. It would be nice if it was the least recently inserted/accesses key but that's not completely necessary.
If this exists in the standard library please save me some time and point it out!
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!
I have
stringA = "xxxxxxFoundAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaFoundBxxxxxxx"

How do I do a regular expression in python in order to return aaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
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,
Hello!
I`m trying to write simple batch file generator in python. Batch file consist of about 30-50 lines of text and is passed to other applications. During the execution of script there a lot of calls to external applications. I want to create file in memory (like named pipes in win32). Is there any platform independ way?
p.s. sorry for possible mistakes in text, I'm still learning English
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! :)
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.
I have a string which is like this:
this is "a test"
I'm trying to write something in Python to split it up by space while ignoring spaces within quotes. The result I'm looking for is:
['this','is','a test']
PS. I know you are going to ask "what happens if there are quotes within the quotes, well, in my application, that will never happen.
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.
Let's say that I have the following text:
in = "one aaa two bbbb three cccc"
I would like to parse this into a group of variables that contain
notworking = ["one", "two", "three"]
v1,v2,v3 = in.split(notworking)
I know that the example above won't work, but is there some utility in python that would allow me to use this sort of approach? I know what the identifiers will be in advance, so I would think that there has got to be a way to do this...
Thanks for any help,

Hey
Is it possible with python to set the timezone just like this in php:
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/London");
$Year = date('y');
$Month = date('m');
$Day = date('d');
$Hour = date('H');
$Minute = date('i');
I can't really install any other modules etc as I'm using shared web hosting.
Any ideas?
How to truncate sthe string to 75 characters only in python
This is how it was done in javascript
var data="saddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddsaddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddsadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd"
var info = (data.length > 75) ? data.substring[0,75] + '..' : data;
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.
Does anybody know any module in Python that computes the best bi-partite matching?
I have tried the following two:
munkres
hungarian
However, in my case, I have to deal with non-complete graph (i.e., there might not be an edge between two nodes), and therefore, there might not be a match if the node has no edge. The above two packages seem not be able to deal with this.
Any advise?
Right now I am using an arduino to send data from an analog sensor to COM4. I am trying to make a python script that continuously monitors that data and looks for a certain parameter.
I tried something like this but it isn't outputing the data like I want.
import serial
port = "COM4"
ser = serial.Serial(port,9600, timeout =1)
value = 0
while 1:
value = ser.read()
print value
Much like Java (or php), I'm use to seperating the classes to files.
Is it the same deal in Python? plus, how should I name the file?
Lowercase like classname.py or the same like ClassName.py?
Do I need to do something special if I want to create an object from this class or does the fact that it's in the same "project" (netbeans) makes it ok to create an object from it?
