Exercise 7.9 in "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist (python)" measuring occurrences of a character in a string
- by Abie
The question is how to write a program that measures how many times a character appears in a string in a generalizable way in python. The code that I wrote: def countLetters(str, ch): count=0 index=0 for ch in str: if ch==str[index]: count=count+1 index=index+1 print count when I use this function, it measures the length of the string instead of how many times the character occurs in the string. What did I do wrong? What is the right way to write this code?Read the article

[Python] How to create a named temporary file in memory?
- by conradlee
I would like to use Python's tempfile module to create a temporary file that I will use for communication between processes (use of pipes is awkward). The documentation I've linked to above shows two functions that almost do what I want: tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile # For creating named tempfiles tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile # For creating tempfiles in memory but actually I want a tempfile that is both named AND in memory. Any ideas?Read the article

How can I check for unused import in many Python files?
- by Thierry Lam
I remember when I was developing in C++ or Java, the compiler usually complains for unused methods, functions or imports. In my Django project, I have a bunch of Python files which have gone through a number of iterations. Some of those files have a few lines of import statement at the top of the page and some of those imports are not used anymore. Is there a way to locate those unused imports besides eyeballing each one of them in each file? All my imports are explicit, I don't usually write from blah import *Read the article

Printing Variable names and contents as debugging tool; looking for emacs/Python shortcut
- by Schof
I find myself adding debugging "print" statements quite often -- stuff like this: print("a_variable_name: %s" % a_variable_name) How do you all do that? Am I being neurotic in trying to find a way to optimize this? I may be working on a function and put in a half-dozen or so of those lines, figure out why it's not working, and then cut them out again. Have you developed an efficient way of doing that? I'm coding Python in Emacs.Read the article

What is the cleanest way to do a sort plus uniq on a Python list?
- by knorv
Consider a Python list my_list containing ['foo', 'foo', 'bar']. What is the most Pythonic way to uniqify:ing and sorting and the list (think cat my_list | sort | uniq)? This is how I currently do it and while it works I'm sure there are better ways to do it. my_list = [] ... my_list.append("foo") my_list.append("foo") my_list.append("bar") ... my_list = set(my_list) my_list = list(my_list) my_list.sort()Read the article

I've got thousands of urls from many hosts I need to screenshot.

How do I simulate a progress counter in a command line application in Python?
- by CRP
My Python program does a series of things and prints some diagnostic output. I would also like to have a progress counter like this: Percentage done: 25% where the number increases "in place". If I use only string statements I can write separate numbers, but that would clutter the screen. Is there some way to achieve this, for example using some escape char for backspace in order to clear a number and write the next one? ThanksRead the article

Is there image phase correlation libraries available for Python?
- by kamasudra
A project that involves image processing, i.e. to calculate the angular shift of the same image when shifted by a medium of certain Refractive Index. We have to build an app that correlates the 2 images (phase/2D correlation?) and then plot using Chaco and Mayavi (2 libraries in Python). Is there any other existing template software (FOSS) that we can base our app on, or use it as a reference?Read the article

Do you use Python mostly for its functional or object-oriented features?
- by Eric
I see what seems like a majority of Python developers on StackOverflow endorsing the use of concise functional tools like lambdas, maps, filters, etc., while others say their code is clearer and more maintainable by not using them. What is your preference? Also, if you are a die-hard functional programmer or hardcore into OO, what other specific programming practices do you use that you think are best for your style? Thanks in advance for your opinions!Read the article
