I'd like to have a Python program start listening on port 80, but after that execute without root permissions. Is there a way to drop root or to get port 80 without it?
Is it possible to perform multi-linear regression in Python using NumPy?
The documentation here suggests that it is, but I cannot find any more details on the topic.
I have a list in python ('A','B','C','D','E'), how do I get which item is under a particular index number?
Example:
Say it was given 0, it would return A.
Given 2, it would return C.
Given 4, it would return E.
I'm just getting started on building a Python app for Google App Engine. In the localhost environment I'm trying to send debug info to the GoogleAppEngineLauncher Log Console via logging.debug(), but it isn't showing up. However, anything sent through, say, logging.info() or logging.error() does show up. I've tried a logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG) before the logging.debug(), but to no avail.
What am I missing?
I am attempting to write some tests using webtest to test out my python GAE application. The problem I am running into is that the application is listening on port 8080 but I cannot configure webtest to hit that port.
For example, I want to use app.get('/getreport') to hit http://localhost:8080/getreport. Obviously, it hits just thits http:// localhost/getreport.
Is there a way to set up webtest to hit a particular port?
Hi.
I'm implementing a RESTful web service in python and would like to add some QOS logging functionality by intercepting function calls and logging their execution time and so on.
Basically i thought of a class from which all other services can inherit, that automatically overrides the default method implementations and wraps them in a logger function. What's the best way to achieve this?
I've a python script that gives me 2 lists and another who is the reference(the time).
How can I create a graphic with the representation of my first list by the time. And same question for the second list. I need them on the same graphic.
list1 [12, 15, 17, 19]
list2 [34, 78, 54, 67]
list3 [10, 20, 30, 40] (time in minutes)
How can I create a graphic in png format with these lists?
Thanks
In Python I have a list of n lists, each with a variable number of elements. How can I create a single list containing all the possible permutations:
For example
[ [ a, b, c], [d], [e, f] ]
I want
[ [a, d, e] , [a, d, f], [b, d, e], [b, d, f], [c, d, e], [c, d, f] ]
Note I don't know n in advance. I thought itertools.product would be the right approach but it requires me to know the number of arguments in advance
Hi,
I need a memory efficient int-int dict in Python that would support the following operations in O(log n) time:
d[k] = v # replace if present
v = d[k] # None or a negative number if not present
I need to hold ~250M pairs, so it really has to be tight.
Do you happen to know a suitable implementation (Python 2.7)?
EDIT Removed impossible requirement and other nonsense. Thanks, Craig and Kylotan!
To rephrase. Here's a trivial int-int dictionary with 1M pairs:
>>> import random, sys
>>> from guppy import hpy
>>> h = hpy()
>>> h.setrelheap()
>>> d = {}
>>> for _ in xrange(1000000):
... d[random.randint(0, sys.maxint)] = random.randint(0, sys.maxint)
...
>>> h.heap()
Partition of a set of 1999530 objects. Total size = 49161112 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Kind (class / dict of class)
0 1 0 25165960 51 25165960 51 dict (no owner)
1 1999521 100 23994252 49 49160212 100 int
On average, a pair of integers uses 49 bytes.
Here's an array of 2M integers:
>>> import array, random, sys
>>> from guppy import hpy
>>> h = hpy()
>>> h.setrelheap()
>>> a = array.array('i')
>>> for _ in xrange(2000000):
... a.append(random.randint(0, sys.maxint))
...
>>> h.heap()
Partition of a set of 14 objects. Total size = 8001108 bytes.
Index Count % Size % Cumulative % Kind (class / dict of class)
0 1 7 8000028 100 8000028 100 array.array
On average, a pair of integers uses 8 bytes.
I accept that 8 bytes/pair in a dictionary is rather hard to achieve in general. Rephrased question: is there a memory-efficient implementation of int-int dictionary that uses considerably less than 49 bytes/pair?
Let's imagine a situation: I have two Python programs. The first one will write some data (str) to computer memory, and then exit. I will then start the second program which will read the in-memory data saved by the first program.
Is this possible?
I'm using simple code:
import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.mysite.com/getfile/4355")
output = open('myfile.zip','wb')
output.write(response.read())
output.close()
The web-server is IIS + ASP.NET MVC 4
It returns FileResult wrapping a zip-file with "application/octet-stream" content-type.
The problem is that downloaded zip file is broken - only 4.1kB size, where it must be 24kB. When I type the url adress in web-browser directly - it downloads and opens fine.
Could you please, suggest, what's wrong with my Python code?
Hi folks,
I'm using the timeout parameter within the urllib2's urlopen.
urllib2.urlopen('http://www.example.org', timeout=1)
How do I tell Python that if the timeout expires a custom error should be raised?
Any ideas?
I am currently get access to a cluster of Unix machines, but they don't have the software I need (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, etc), and I have to install them by myself (I don't have the root permission, either, so commands like apt-get or yast doesn't work).
In the worst case, I have to compile them all from source. Is there any better way to do so? I hear something about Enthought Python and Sage, but not sure what is the best way to do so.
Any suggestion?
I was told that 95% of all loops in Python are "for" loops. Since "while" loops are clearly more "dangerous" than "for" loops, I would like to know if there are situations in which the use of a "while" loop is essential. For teaching purposes it would be useful to know if there is a systematic way of transforming "while" loops into "for" loops.
I'm looking for up-to-date documentation and tutorials on creating Python bindings for gobjects. Everything I can find on the web is either incomplete or out of date.
hi, i am siva this is frist time taken the python programming language i have a small problem please help me the question is **Write two functions, called countSubStringMatch and countSubStringMatchRecursive that take two arguments, a key string and a target string. These functions iteratively and recursively count the number of instances of the key in the target string. You should complete definitions for
def countSubStringMatch(target,key):
and
def countSubStringMatchRecursive (target, key):

I have 4 reasonably complex r scripts that are used to manipulate csv and xml files. These were created by another department where they work exclusively in r.
My understanding is that while r is very fast when dealing with data, it's not really optimised for file manipulation. Can I expect to get significant speed increases by converting these scripts to python? Or is this something of a waste of time?
I am using python lxml library to parse html pages:
import lxml.html
# this might run indefinitely
page = lxml.html.parse('http://stackoverflow.com/')
Is there any way to set timeout for parsing?
Is there a way to get functionality similar to mkdir -p on the shell... from within python. I am looking for a solution other than a system call. I am sure the code is less than 20 lines... really I am wondering if someone has already written it?
First of all, I get the name of the current window
win32gui.GetWindowText(win32gui.GetForegroundWindow())
k, no problem with that...
But now, how can I make an if with the result for having an specific string on it...
For example, the result gave me
C:/Python26/
How can I make an True of False for the result containing the word, 'python' ?
I'm trying with re.search, but I'm not being able to make it do it
I want to produce a JSON file, containing some initial parameters and then records of data like this:
{
"measurement" : 15000,
"imi" : 0.5,
"times" : 30,
"recalibrate" : false,
{
"colorlist" : [234, 431, 134]
"speclist" : [0.34, 0.42, 0.45, 0.34, 0.78]
}
{
"colorlist" : [214, 451, 114]
"speclist" : [0.44, 0.32, 0.45, 0.37, 0.53]
}
...
}
How can this be achieved using the Python json module? The data records cannot be added by hand as there are very many.
I have a SimpleXMLRPCServer server (Python).
How can I get the IP address of the client in the request handler?
This information appears in the log. However, I am not sure how to access this information from within the request handler.
