Let say i want to read the integers a, b and c from stdin (in one line, do not need to press return after each number). In c++, i would just do:
cin a b c;
How to do this in Python ?
Is it possible to set a default value for a variable argument list in Python 3?
Something like:
def do_it(*args=(2, 5, 21)):
pass
I wonder that a variable argument list is of type tuple but no tuple is accepted here.
In a Python Google App Engine app I'm writing, I have an entity stored in the datastore that I need to retrieve, make an exact copy of it (with the exception of the key), and then put this entity back in.
How should I do this? In particular, are there any caveats or tricks I need to be aware of when doing this so that I get a copy of the sort I expect and not something else.
I'd like to be able to parse out the city, state or zip from a string in python. So, if I entered
Boulder, Co
80303
Boulder, Colorado
Boulder, Co 80303
...
any variation of these it would return the city, state or zip.
This is all going to be user inputted data and inputted in one text field.
I am writing a test harness in python and as part of the testing I need to initialise an FTP server and upload various files. I am using ftplib and everything is working ok. The only problem I have is that I am seeing loads of FTP text appearing in the console window intermixed with my test results, which makes scanning the results quite tricky. I haven't found a way to shut ftp lib up and stop this happening, does anyone know how to stop this?
I am trying to retrieve a 500mb file using Python, and I have a script which uses urllib.urlretrieve(). There seems to some network problem between me and the download site, as this call consistently hangs and fails to complete. However, using wget to retrieve the file tends to work without problems. What is the difference between urlretrieve() and wget that could cause this difference?
Python
params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': '1', 'eggs': '2', 'bacon': '3'})
binary_data = params.encode('utf-8')
reg = urllib.request.Request("http://www.abc.com/abc/smart/ap/request/",binary_data)
reg.add_header('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
f = urllib.request.urlopen(reg)
print(f.read())
PHP
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
//parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
var_dump($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}
When i try print binary_data , it does show the parameter but by the time it reaches the PHP , i see nothing.
Any idea?
I'm looking for a way to programatically control a browser on a Mac (i.e. not IE) using Python.
The actions I need include following links, checking if elements exist in a page, and submitting forms.
Which solution would you recommend?
Thanks!
Dear all, I need to implement a TCP server in Python which receives some data from a client and then sends this data to another client. I've tried many different implementations but no way to make it run. Any help would be really appreciated.
Hi,
I'm running a Mac OS X environment and am used to using ~/ to provide the access to the current user's directory.
For example, in my python script I'm just trying to use
os.chdir("/Users/aaron/Desktop/testdir/")
But would like to use
os.chdir("~/Desktop/testdir/")
I'm getting a no such file or directory error when trying to run this. Any ideas?
can you convert this perl code to python code :
$list = $ARGV[0];
open (PASSFILE, "$list") || die "[-] Can't open the List of password file !";
@strings = ;
close PASSFILE;
Thanks

Hi All
I would like to handle time series in python.
I have been suggested to use scikit.timeseries but I need to handle up to microseconds and this last, as far as I know, handles up to milliseconds.
Do you know any other library able to do that? At some point I need to merge 2 time series sampled at different time, and I would like to avoid rewriting such kind of features or any new classes from scratch whenever it is possible.
I thank you all

I'm curious if their is some python magic I may not know to accomplish a bit of frivolity
given the line:
csvData.append(','.join([line.split(":").strip() for x in L]))
I'm attempting to split a line on :, trim whitespace around it, and join on ,
problem is, since the array is returned from line.split(":"), the
for x in L #<== L doesn't exist!
causes issues since I have no name for the array returned by line.split(":")
So I'm curious if there is a sexy piece of syntax I could use to accomplish this in one shot?
Cheers!
I'm trying to do this:
commands = { 'py': 'python %s', 'md': 'markdown "%s" "%s.html"; gnome-open "%s.html"', }
commands['md'] % 'file.md'
But like you see, the commmands['md'] uses the parameter 3 times, but the commands['py'] just use once. How can I repeat the parameter without changing the last line (so, just passing the parameter one time?)
What is the best way to implement the singleton pattern in Python? It seems impossible to declare the constructor private or protected as is normally done with the Singleton pattern...
I'm trying to validate the entry of text using Python/tkInter
def validate_text():
return False
text = Entry(textframe, validate="focusout", validatecommand=validate_text)
where validate_text is the function - I've tried always returning False and always returning True and there's no difference in the outcome..? Is there a set of arguments in the function that I need to include?
Edit - changed from NONE to focusout...still not working
How to retrieve the process start time (or uptime) in python in Linux?
I only know, I can call "ps -p my_process_id -f" and then parse the output. But it is not cool.
I erroneously wrote this code in python:
name = input("what is your name?")
if name == "Kamran" or "Samaneh":
print("That is a nice name")
else:
print("You have a boring name ;)")
It always prints out "That is a nice name" even when the input is neither "Kamran" nor "Samaneh".
Am I correct in saying that it considers "Samaneh" as a true? why?
By the way, I already noticed my mistake. The correct form is:
if name == "Kamran" or name == "Samaneh":
I have a python script that accepts a file from the user and saves it.
Is it possible to not upload the file immediately but to que it up and when the server has less load to upload it then.
Can this be done by transferring the file to the browsers storage area or taking the file from the Harddrive and transferring to the User's RAM?
I have a variable in Python containing a floating point number (e.g. num = 24654.123), and I'd like to determine the number's precision and scale values (in the Oracle sense), so 123.45678 should give me (8,5), 12.76 should give me (4,2), etc.
I was first thinking about using the string representation (via str or repr), but those fail for large numbers:
>>> num = 1234567890.0987654321
>>> str(num) = 1234567890.1
>>> repr(num) = 1234567890.0987654
I have two Python scripts in two different locations and cannot be moved. What is the best way to send information between the two scripts?
say for example in script1.py i had a string e.g.
x = 'teststring'
then i need variable 'x' passed to script2.py, which saves the variable 'x' to a text file?
Any ideas?
Hi folks,
I'm trying to submit a few forms through a Python script, I'm using the mechanized library.
This is so I can implement a temporary API.
The problem is that before after submission a blank page is returned informing that the request is being processed, after a few seconds the page is redirected to the final page.
I understand if it might sound a bit generic, but I'm not sure what is going on. :)
Any ideas?
Does Python offer a way to iterate over all "consecutive sublists" of a given list L - i.e. sublists of L where any two consecutive elements are also consecutive in L - or should I write my own?
(Example: if L = [1, 2, 3], then the set over which I want to iterate is {[1], [2], [3], [1, 2], [2,3], [1, 2, 3]}. [1, 3] is skipped since 1 and 3 are not consecutive in L.)
