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?Read the article

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. ;-)Read the article

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?Read the article

Silent the stdout of a function in python without trashing sys.stdout and restoring each function ca
- by Tim McJilton
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.Read the article

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.Read the article

compiling QGIS Plugin using make
- by user1675014
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 pyuic4 -o ui_teste.py ui_teste.ui /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file '/Users/kyngchaos/Applications/qgis-python27/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/python/PyQt4/uic/pyuic.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory make: *** [ui_teste.py] Error 2 thanks for reading.Read the article

Why would it be necessary to subclass from object in Python?
- by rmh
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?Read the article

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?Read the article

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

Command line tool in python in a fixed root directory ...
- by koleto
I would like to install my python application as a command line tool that should work entirelly inside the install directory (for example C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\application) The problem is I would like to reffer in runtime to the submodules and resources from within the application directory three. If I install the app with [console_scripts] option the default path is the current directory. Is there a elegant way to keep the current execution path of the application to the site-packages directory? ThanksRead the article
