Basically, I've got a homework task of programming a text based battle simulator in Python. Obviously I've gone with pokémon...
I would like the enemy to be randomly selected, however I don't know how to randomly select from a list...
foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
from random import choice
print choice(foo)
This is what I've been told to try but I've got no modules or anything imported...
How can I make this work,
appreciated.
A python program opens a new process of the C++ program and is reading the processes stdout.
No problem so far.
But is it possible to have multiple streams like this for communication? I can get two if I misuse stderr too, but not more. Easy way to hack this would be using temporary files. Is there something more elegant that does not need a detour to the filesystem?
PS: *nix specific solutions are welcome too
I want to loop through a Python list and process 2 list items at a time. Something like this in another language:
for(int i = 0; i < list.length(); i+=2)
{
// do something with list[i] and list[i + 1]
}
What's the best way to accomplish this?
Is it possible for a python webapp to be bundled (gzipped?) into a single file, along with any required resources (js/css files) & modules (including modules like lxml which are mostly C-based), for easy deployment?
Is there any way to install setuptools for python 2.6 in Windows without having an .exe installer?
There isn't one built at the moment, and the maintainer of setuptools has stated that it's probable be a while before he'll get to it.
Does anyone know of a way to install it anyway?
Whenever I change my python source files in my Django project, the .pyc files become out of date. Of course that's because I need to recompile them in order to test them through my local Apache web server. I would like to get around this manual process by employing some automatic means of compiling them on save, or on build through Eclipse, or something like that. What's the best and proper way to do this?
I need to calculate modulus with large number like :
<?php
$largenum = 95635000009453274121700;
echo $largenum % 97;
?>
It's not working... beacause $largenum is too big for an int in PHP.
Any idea how to do this ?
I'm looking for ideas on recommended approach.
I'm trying to scrape some headlines and body text from articles for a few specific sites, similar to what Google does with Google News.
The problem is across different sites, they may have articles on the same exact subject, worded slightly differently.
Can anyone point to me what I need to know in order to write a comparison algorithm to auto-detect similar articles?
Thanks very much in advance.
I use Python.
I am able to establish the initial telnet session. But from this session I need to create a second. Basically I can not telnet directly to the device I need to access. Interactively this is not an issue but I am attempting to setup an automated test using python.
Does anyone know who to accomplish this?
I am porting code from Matlab to Python and am having trouble finding a replacement for the firls( ) routine. It is used for, least-squares linear-phase Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter design.
I looked at scipy.signal and nothing there looked like it would do the trick. Of course I was able to replace my remez and freqz algorithsm, so that's good.
On one blog I found an algorithm that implemented this filter without weighting, but I need one with weights.
Thanks, David
I have both Fruityloops and Propellerheads Reason software synths on my Windows PC.
Any way I can get at and script these from either Visual Basic or Python? Or at least send Midi messages to the synths from code?
Update : attempts to use something like a "midi-mapper" (thanks for link MusiGenesis) don't seem to work. I don't think Reason or FL Studio act like standard GM Midi synths.
Update 2 : If you're interested in this question, check out this too.
Hello. Since my pc's fan is very loud, I'd like to make myself a program to "shut it up" when it's not required to be running at full speed. I want to make it with python, so is there any module that can detect the temperature and/or set the fan speed?
After calling encodeURIComponent in JS and piecing things together, I have an URL like this:
http://www.foo.com/%E5%9C%B0%E9%9C%87
(i.e utf-8 encoding)
This gets received in my python server side. How can I decode that to a unicode string of
http://www.foo.com/??
?
I want Python to ignore Windows proxy settings when using urllib. The only way I managed to do that was disabling all proxy settings on Internet Explorer. Is there any programmatic way?
os.environ['no_proxy'] is not a good option, since I'd like to avoid proxy for all addresses.
when I used the SSL fot my website i got following error.

As per the title, I'm trying to parse an XML file containing an xs:duration data type. I'd like to convert that into a Python timedelta object, which I can then use in further calculations.
Is there any built-in way of doing this? If not, what is the best way to achieve this?
Is it possible to have Python save the .pyc files to a separate folder location that is in sys.path?
/code
foo.py
foo.pyc
bar.py
bar.pyc
To:
/code
foo.py
bar.py
/code_compiled
foo.pyc
bar.pyc
I would like this because I feel it'd be more organized. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Hello,
Lets say I have a time 04:05 and the timezone is -0100 (GMT)

Hello:
I'm looking for an easy-to-use graphics lib for python that can output to screen as well as pdf. So, I would use code to draw some stuff (simple prims like ovals, rectangles, lines and points) to screen and then when things look good, have it output to pdf.
Make sense?
Thanks!

how i can handle this, in python ?
I've finally figured out how to create a Python egg and gotten it to work. What do I do with it now? How do I use it? How do I ensure that everything was correctly included? (Simple steps please... not just redirection to another site. I've googled, but it's confusing me, and I was hoping someone could explain it in a couple of simple bullet points or sentences.)
