I have a file that I need to "protect" so that it cannot be copied! I am using Python on Windows XP.
I think it may just be changing file permissions??
I have several python modules that I've written. Randomly, I used file on this directory, and I was really surprised by what I saw. Here's the resulting count of what it thought the files were:
1 ASCII Java program text, with very long lines
1 a /bin/env python script text executable
1 a python script text executable
2 ASCII C++ program text
4 ASCII English text
18 ASCII Java program text
That's strange! Any idea what's going on or why it seems to think python modules are very often java files?
I'm using CentOS 5.2.
Hi
When selecting the volume in the installation program it says "You cannot install Merucrial on this volume. Mercurial requires Apple Python 2.6". I tried installing the latest version of Python from python.org but no luck.

Hello,
I am using feedparser for parsing from XML file.But I couldn't parse <geo:lat>, <geo:long> tags using feedparser from that file! Do you people have any idea how I can parse those tags using feedparser in python?
Thanks in advance!
For the following Python dictionary:
dict = {
'stackoverflow': True,
'superuser': False,
'serverfault': False,
'meta': True,
}
I want to aggregate the boolean values above into the following boolean expression:
dict['stackoverflow'] and dict['superuser'] and dict['serverfault'] and dict['meta']
The above should return me False. I'm using keys with known names above but I want it to work so that there can be an infinite number of unknown key names.
In Perl, I can do this:
push(@{$h->[x]}, y);
Can I simplify the following python codes according to above Perl example?
if x not in h:
h[x] = []
h[x].append(y)
I want to simplify this, because it goes many places in my code, (and I cannot initialize all possible x with []). I do not want to make it a function, because there is no 'inline' keyword.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I'm trying to open a write-protected ms excel 2007 file using win32com in python -- I know the password. I can open it with user input of the password into the excel dialog box. I want to be able to open the file without any user interaction. I've tried the following, but it still pops up the dialog box.
app.Workbooks.Open("filename.xls", WriteResPassword="secret")
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong please?
Thanks,
Dave.
Python: How to get the caller's method name in the called method?
Assume I have 2 methods:
def method1(self):
...
a = A.method2()
def method2(self):
...
If I don't want to do any change for method1, how to get the name of the caller (in this example, the name is method1) in method2?
Hello,
I want a framework (or anything) that helps me make rich client guis. I know my server-side, but I don't like programming in ajax, javascript, css etc.
Something that wraps the ajax code in some objects/methods with clean syntax, would do the trick. I want to write code in java instead of defining css and html tags.
Does Java Spring, JSF, Django support this ?
Languages: Java, Python
Thank you
Is there a faster way to do this in python?
[f for f in list_1 if not f in list_2]
list_1 and list_2 both consist of about 120.000 strings. It takes about 4 minutes to generate the new list.
Although it does not seem possible, I wanted to put this out there to see if others had some innovative solutions to 'dynamically loading and executing code in python'
So if one saved code in a database, one could read it and 'exec it', however if one wanted to use it in a similar fashion to the filesystem, one would need to
'save and load the compiled .pyc'
create an 'import dbimp' ala 'import imp' etc.
any pointers? ideas? thoughts?
There is a certain page on my website where I want to prevent the same user from visiting it twice in a row. To prevent this, I plan to create a Lock object (from Python's threading library). However, I would need to store that across sessions. Is there anything I should watch out for when trying to store a Lock object in a session (specifically a Beaker session)?
I am having a heck of a time taking the information in a tweet including hashtags, and pulling each hashtag into an array using Python. I am embarrassed to even put what I have been trying thus far.
For example, "I love #stackoverflow because #people are very #helpful!"
This should pull the 3 hashtags into an array.
Why in this millenium should Python PEP-8 specify a maximum line length of 79 characters?
Pretty much every code editor under the sun can handle longer lines. What to do with wrapping should be the choice of the content consumer, not the responsibility of the content creator.
Are there any (legitimately) good reasons for adhering to 79 characters in this age?
In Windows the Dropbox client uses python25.dll and the MS C runtime libraries (msvcp71.dll, etc). On OS X the Python code is compiled bytecode (pyc).
My guess is they are using a common library they have written then just have to use different hooks for the different platforms.
What method of development is this? It clearly isn't IronPython or PyObjC. This paradigm is so appealing to me, but my CS foo and Google foo are failing me.
Hi,
We have discussion in my job place about question (We use 1 of the php frameworks):
Why program with php frameworks big web application if it can be done better with rubi on rails, python or java?
Please say our opinion
thanks
want to ask user to input something but not want to wait forever. There is a solution for Linux, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1335507/keyboard-input-with-timeout-in-python, but I am in windows environment. anybody can help me?
I've got a piece of software which consists of several python sources and a couple of c++ libraries. I'd like to pack them in a executable single file, just like java does with .jar files. Is there a way to do that?
Python offers an optional else clause in loop statements, which is executed if and only if the loop is not terminated by a break. For an interesting discussion about this neglected commodity, see this question. Here, I just wanted to know:
if the very concept of this loop-else construct originates from another language (either theoretical or actually implemented),
conversely, if it was taken up in any newer language.
May be I should ask the former to Guido, but he surely is a too busy guy for such a futile inquiry. ;-)

I'm writing a script to parse some text files, and insert the data that they contain into a mysql database. I don't have root access on the server that this script will run on. I've been looking at mysql-python, but it requires a bunch of dependencies that I don't have available. Is there a simpler way to do this?
On a fresh mac os x 10.8 install, i've Quantum GIS Installed from Kingchaos binaries and running fine. I'm trying to develop a plugin for QGIS, and using Plugin Builder.
The skel that Plugin Builder, produces, should work off-the-shelf, but it does not compile using the makefile. Somewhere python can't find (pyuic.py), and it searches for (/Users/kyngchaos/...), path. This user does not exist on my system:(
Here are my ENVS on .profile:
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs:$PATH
export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/lib:/Applications/Qgis.app/Contents/Frameworks"
export PATH="/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH"
Here is the ouptput of make:
Arthur@teste:make

thanks for reading.
i have users from all timezones, and i want to send out alerts at around 8AM in each users respective timezone.
i need a python script that runs every hour [in a cron job] and i need to find out at which timezone it is 8AM right now, and i can use that info to select the users that have to receive the alerts.
how do i go about doing this? there seems to be gmt+14 to gmt-12 that is 27 timezones, and there are only 24 hours in a day!
I have a list of elements, and each element consists of four seperate values that are seperated by tabs:
['A\tB\tC\tD', 'Q\tW\tE\tR', etc.]
What I want is to create a larger list without the tabs, so that each value is a seperate element:
['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'Q', 'W', 'E', 'R', etc.]
How can I do that in Python? I need it for my coursework, due tonight (midnight GMT) and I'm completely stumped.
Where can i find good practice python problems with solutions?
I'm looking for detailed practice problems that are designed with a coding purpose in mind.
