  - by Thierry Lam

  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.

• How to pack python files and its dependencies in a single executable file?

  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?

• Inspiration and influence of the else clause of loop statements in Python?

  - by Aristide

  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. ;-)

• Is there a way around coding in Python without the tab, indent & whitespace criteria?

  - by Donny V.

  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?

• What is the purpose of subclassing the class "object" in Python?

  - by ignoramus

  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?

• How does Dropbox use Python on Windows and OS X?

  - by robotshapes

  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 turn a single element in a list into multiple elements using Python?

  - by Trivun

  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.

• Search backward through a string using a regex (in Python)?

  - by John Mulder

  I'm parsing some code and want to match the doxygen comments before a function. However, because I want to match for a specific function name, getting only the immediately previous comment is giving me problems. Is there a way to search backward through a string using the Python Regex library? Is there a better (easier) approach that I'm missing?

• In python beyond 'exec string' is there a way to 'import' using the db as a filesystem

  - by molicule

  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?

• Why is the "file" command get confused on .py files?

  - by pythonic metaphor

  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.

• Is there an image phase correlation library 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?

• Why should Python PEP-8 specify a maximum line length of 79 characters?

  - by pcorcoran

  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 a python source code I stumbled upon I've seen a small b before a string like in: b"abcdef" I know of u prefix that means unicode and r prefix that means raw.
