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??
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.
How can I find the dimensions of a matrix in Python. Len(A) returns only one variable.
Edit:
Hi Thanks.
close = dataobj.get_data(timestamps, symbols, closefield)
Is (I assume) generating a matrix of integers (less likely strings). I need to find the size of that matrix, so I can run some tests without having to iterate through all of the elements. As far as the data type goes, I assume it's an array of arrays (or list of lists).
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 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!
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.
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
I want to start using Python for small projects but the fact that a misplaced tab or indent can throw a compile error is really getting on my nerves. Is there some type of setting to turn this off?
I'm currently using NotePad++. Is there maybe an IDE that would take care of the tabs and indenting?
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?
In Perl, I would write:
$x = "abbbc";
$x =~ s/(b+)/z/;
print "Replaced $1 and ended up with $x\n";
# "Replaced bbb and ended up with azc"
How do I do this in Python -- do a regular-expression string replacement and record what it was that got replaced?
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 have a project on going for a TV guide, called mytvguide in the database - I use PHPMyAdmin. This is the structure for one table, which is called tvshow1:
Field Type
channel varchar(255)
date date No
airdate time No
expiration time No
episode varchar(255)
setreminder varchar(255)
but am not sure how to get DATE, TIME to work with the pagination script (below is the script, which works for the version with DATETIME): http://pastebin.com/6S1ejAFJ
However, although the DATETIME one works - it shows programmes that air on the day itself like this:
Programme 1 showing on Channel 1 2:35pm "Episode 2" Set Reminder
Programme 1 showing on Channel 1 May 26th - 12:50pm "Episode 3" Set Reminder
Programme 1 showing on Channel 1 May 26th - 5:55pm "Episode 3" Set Reminder
but I'm not quite sure how to replicate that for the fields that use DATE, TIME functions as seen above.
Any advice on this is appreciated, thanks!
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
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?
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?
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?
Is there a way in python without wrapping a function call like following?
from sys import stdout
from copy import copy
tempstdout = copy(stdout)
stdout = file("trash",w)
foo()
stdout = tempstdout
That way works but appears to be terribly inefficient. There has to be a better way... I would appreciate any insight I can get into this.
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.

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:(

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've been using Python for quite a while now, and I'm still unsure as to why you would subclass from object. What is the difference between this:
class MyClass():
pass
And this:
class MyClass(object):
pass
As far as I understand, object is the base class for all classes and the subclassing is implied. Do you get anything from explicitly subclassing from it? What is the most "Pythonic" thing to do?
All the Python built-ins are subclasses of object and I come across many user-defined classes which are too. Why? What is the purpose of the class object? It's just an empty class, right?
I usually do this in Perl:
whatever.pl
while(<>) {
#do whatever;
}
then cat foo.txt | whatever.pl
Now, I want to do this in Python. I tried sys.stdin but I have no idea how to do as I have done in Perl. How can I read the input?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Thanks, I like every single solution.
