Which technology is better to use in terms of performance for high performance scalable web application? PHP or Python?
The project is going to involve database.
What's the best way to sanitise user input for a Python-based web application? Is there a single function to remove HTML characters and any other necessary characters combinations to ensure that an XSS or SQL injection attack isn't possible?
I have an unknown number of functions in my python script (well, it is known, but not constant) that start with site_...
I was wondering if there's a way to go through all of these functions in some main function that calls for them.
something like:
foreach function_that_has_site_ as coolfunc
if coolfunc(blabla,yada) == true:
return coolfunc(blabla,yada)
so it would go through them all until it gets something that's true.
thanks!
Hi,
I'm writing a parser in Python. I've converted an input string into a list of tokens, such as:
['(', '2', '.', 'x', '.', '(', '3', '-', '1', ')', '+', '4', ')', '/', '3', '.', 'x', '^', '2']
I want to be able to split the list into multiple lists, like the str.split('+') function. But there doesn't seem to be a way to do my_list.split('+'). Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi all
I am a newbie to the python. Can I unhash, or rather how can I unhash a value. I am using std hash() function. What I would like to do is to first hash a value send it somewhere and then unhash it as such:
#process X
hashedVal = hash(someVal)
#send n receive in process Y
someVal = unhash(hashedVal)
#for example print it
print someVal
Thx in advance
Python is filled with little neat shortcuts.
For example:
self.data = map(lambda x: list(x), data)
and (although not so pretty)
tuple(t[0] for t in self.result if t[0] != 'mysql' and t[0] != 'information_schema')
among countless others.
In the irc channel, they said "too many to know them all".
I think we should list some here, as i love using these shortcuts to shorten & refctor my code. I'm sure this would benefit many.
I have a long-running python server and would like to be able to upgrade a service without restarting the server. What's the best way do do this?
if foo.py has changed:
unimport foo <-- how do I do this?
import foo
myfoo=foo.Foo()
I am trying to get python to make noise when certain things happen. Preferably, i would like to play music of some kind, however some kind of distinctive beeping would be sufficient, like an electronic timer going off. I have thus far only been able to make the system speaker chime using pywin32's Beep, however this simply does not have the volume for my application.
Any ideas on how I can do this?

In python if a string contains the following,
print valid_str
The output of this is
Record is positive in tone:
It emphasizes "what a child can do and his or her achievements, as opposed to what he or she cannot do," explains the It is useful for progress and achievements during office conferences
How to search for the pattern It is useful in the above string and if not found return something.
Thanks..
hello.
What is the pythonic way to test if there is a tuple starting with another tuple in collection? actually, I am really after the index of match, but I can probably figure out from test example
for example:
c = ((0,1),(2,3))
# (0,) should match first element, (3,)should match no element
I should add my python is 2.4 and/or 2.5
thanks
Hi,
How can i print only certain words from a string in python ?
lets say i want to print only the 3rd word (which is a number) and the 10th one
while the text length may be different each time
mystring = "You have 15 new messages and the size is 32000"
thanks.
I want to break a Python string into its characters.
sequenceOfAlphabets = list( string.uppercase )
works.
However, why does not
sequenceOfAlphabets = re.split( '.', string.uppercase )
work?
All I get are empty, albeit expected count of elements
I'm new in python and I'm having some issues doing a simple thing.
I've an array (or list as it's said in pyton) like this:
list = [ 'NICE dog' , 'blue FLOWER' , 'GOOD cat' , 'YELLOW caw']
As you see each element of this array contains some words. These words is both lowercase and uppercase.
How I can delete from this array each lowercase words?
For example I'd like to have as result this list:
list = [ 'NICE' , 'FLOWER' , 'GOOD' , 'YELLOW']
I want to run a cmd exe using a python script.
I have the following code:
def run_command(command):
p = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
return p.communicate()
then i use:
run_command(r"C:\Users\user\Desktop\application\uploader.exe")
this returns the option menu where i need to specify additional parameter for the cmd exe to run. So i pass additional parameters for the cmd exe to run.
How do i accomplish this. I've looked at subprocess.communicate but i was unable to understand it
I am pretty new to python and I discovered by myself that I can create a list of function and call with a for loop.
example:
def a(args):
print "A"
def b(args):
print "B"
def c(args):
print "C " + str(args)
functions = [a,b,c]
for i in functions:
i(1)
So, my question is: is there any good practice or elegant way to use list of functions and what is a good use of all this? (do have a particular name the "list of functions"?)
thank you
I'm writing a shell for a project of mine, which by design parses commands that looks like this:
COMMAND_NAME ARG1="Long Value" ARG2=123 [email protected]
My problem is that Python's command line parsing libraries (getopt and optparse) forces me to use '-' or '--' in front of the arguments. This behavior doesn't match my requirements.
Any ideas how can this be solved? Any existing library for this?
How can I split a line in Python at a non-printing ascii character (such as the long minus sign hex 0x97 , Octal 227)?
I won't need the character itself. The information after it will be saved as a variable.
Good day chaps.
I'm interested in learning how to invert (make a negative of) an image using the python image libary module.
I cannot however, use the ImageOps function 'invert.' I need another solution, using the RGB values. I've searched and tried to no avail. Thanks for any help :)
Using python and wsgiref.handlers, I can get a single variable from a form with self.handler.request.get(var_name), but how do I iterate through all form variables, be they from GET and POST? Is it something like this?
for field in self.handler.request.fields:
value = self.handler.request.get(field)
Again, it should include both fields included in the POST and fields from the query string, as in a GET request.
Thanks in advance folks...

In all other languages I've worked with the super constructor is invoked implicitly. How does one invoke it in Python? I would expect super(self) but this doesn't work
I need to be able to block the urls that are stored in a text file on the hard disk using Python. If the url the user tries to visit is in the file, it redirects them to another page instead. How is this done?
