Hello everyone,
How can I get the file name and line number in python script.
Exactly the file information we get from an exception traceback. In this case without raising an exception.
Hi,
I am planning to write a generic python module for installing a package. This script should retrieve the module from a remote machine or locally and install it on a given host and user. However, there needs to be changes made to the package files based on the host, user and given environment.
My approach is to use XML to describe changes to be made to package files based on environment. It will first extract the package to the user directory and then using an xml configuration file, it should replace the file values in the package directory. The xml would look something like this:
<package version="1.3.3">
<environment type="prod">
<file dir="d1/d2" name="f1">
<var id="RECV_HOST" value="santo">
<var id="RECV_PORT" value="RECV_PORT_SERVICE" type="service">
<var id="JEPL_SERVICE_NAME" value="val_omgact">
</file>
<var dir="d4/d3/s2" name="f2">
<var id="PRECISION" value="true">
<var id="SEND_STATUS_CODE" value="323">
<var id="JEPL_SERVICE_NAME" value="val_omgact">
</file>
</environment>
<environment type="qa">
<file dir="d1/d2" name="f1">
<var id="RECV_HOST" value="test">
<var id="RECV_PORT" value="1444">
<var id="JEPL_SERVICE_NAME" value="val_tsdd">
</file>
<file dir="d4/d3/s2" name="f2">
<var id="PRECISION" value="false">
<var id="SEND_STATUS_CODE" value="323">
<var id="JEPL_SERVICE_NAME" value="val_dsd">
</file>
</environment>
</package>
What are your thoughts on this approach? Is there an existing python module, package or script that I could use for this purpose since this seems fairly generic and can be used for any installation.
Thanks!

how can I use wild cars like '*' when getting a list of files inside a directory in Python? for example, I want something like:
os.listdir('foo/*bar*/*.txt')
which would return a list of all the files ending in .txt in directories that have bar in their name inside of the foo parent directory.
how can I do this?
thanks.
Is there any way other than creating a method myself to write XML using python which are easily readable? xMLFile.write(xmlDom.toxml()) does create proper xml but reading them is pretty difficult. I tried toprettyxml but doesn't seem like it does much. e.g. following is what I would consider a human readable xml:
I was working with Python with a Linux terminal screen. When I typed:
help(somefunction)
It printed the appropriate output, but then my screen was stuck, and at the bottom of the terminal was "(end)".
How do I get unstuck? Thanks in advance.
I am running a multithreaded application(Python2.7.3) in a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz. I thought it would be using only one core but using the "top" command I see that the python processes are constantly changing the core no. Enabling "SHOW THREADS" in the top command shows diffrent thread processes working on different cores.
Can anyone please explain this? It is bothering me as I know from theory that multithreading is executed on a single core.
The greenlet package is used by gevent and eventlet for asynchronous IO. It is written as a C-extension and therefore doesn't work with Jython or IronPython. If performance is of no concern, what is the easiest approach to implementing the greenlet API in pure Python.
A simple example:
def test1():
print 12
gr2.switch()
print 34
def test2():
print 56
gr1.switch()
print 78
gr1 = greenlet(test1)
gr2 = greenlet(test2)
gr1.switch()
Should print 12, 56, 34 (and not 78).
I have a few questions about python
I've seen many pages like these on Google
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6583
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=13488
...that have .py extensions. 1: Are pages like these built on pure python code, but printing out html like print "<div etc..." or like the typical asp,jsp,php type of pages with html pages and embedded python code like:
<html>
<% some python code %>
</html>
2: What is python mainly used for making? windows apps or web or .. ?
3: Are ruby and perl also similar to python?
I have a text document that contains a list of numbers and I want to convert it to a list. Right now I can only get the entire list in the 0th entry of the list, but I want each number to be an element of a list. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this in Python?
1000
2000
3000
4000
to
['1000','2000','3000','4000']
I'm looking for a way in python to find out which type of file system is being used for a given path. I'm wanting to do this in a cross platform way. On linux I could just grab the output of df -T but that won't work on OSX or windows.
I am creating a sort of "Command line" in Python. I already added a few functions, such as changing login/password, executing, etc., But is it possible to browse files in the directory that the main file is in with a command/module, or will I have to make the module myself and use the import command? Same thing with changing directories to view, too.
This whole topic is way out of my depth, so forgive my imprecise question, but I have two computers both connected to one LAN.
What I want is to be able to communicate one string between the two, by running a python script on the first (the host) where the string will originate, and a second on the client computer to retrieve the string.
What is the most efficient way for an inexperienced programmer like me to achieve this?
What's the best way of getting the last item from an iterator in Python 2.6? For example, say
my_iter = iter(range(5))
What is the shortest-code / cleanest way of getting 4 from my_iter?
I could do this, but it doesn't seem very efficient:
[x for x in my_iter][-1]
I am creating an application that lets users login using Google, Facebook and the website's native login. The site is being built in Python / Django.
What would be the best way to handle login, session management and user authentication?
I do not want to use the in-built Django user management. I am using Django very sparingly(URLs, templates)
I downloaded a webpage in my python script.
In most cases, this works fine.
However, this one had a response header: GZIP encoding, and when I tried to print the source code of this web page, it had all symbols in my putty.
How do decode this to regular text?
Python has string.find() and string.rfind() to get the index of a substring in string.
I wonder, maybe there is something like string.find_all() which can return all founded indexes (not only first from beginning or first from end)?
For example:
string = "test test test test"
print string.find('test') # 0
print string.rfind('test') # 15
#that's the goal
print string.find_all('test') # [0,5,10,15]
Format is like:
CHINA;2002-06-25 00:00:00.000;5,60
CHINA;2002-06-26 00:00:00.000;5,32
CHINA;2002-06-27 00:00:00.000;5,31
and I try to use Python's CSV tools to parse it but cannot understand the paragraph, source:
And while the module doesn’t directly support parsing strings, it can easily be done:
import csv
for row in csv.reader(['one,two,three']):
print row
Could someone clarify the line ['one,two,three']? How would you use it with format A;B;C?
Hi
I am trying to perform a 2d convolution in python using numpy
I have a 2d array as follows with kernel H_r for the rows and H_c for the columns
data = np.zeros((nr, nc), dtype=np.float32)
#fill array with some data here then convolve
for r in range(nr):
data[r,:] = np.convolve(data[r,:], H_r, 'same')
for c in range(nc):
data[:,c] = np.convolve(data[:,c], H_c, 'same')
It does not produce the output that I was expecting, does this code look OK
Thanks
Hi,
I'm use nosetests to run some tests. However, after the tests have finished running, the nosetests process just sits there, and will not exit. Is there anyway to diagnose this? Does Python have a facility similar to sending Java a kill -QUIT which will print a stack trace?
In Javascript I can do this:
function A(x) { return x || 3; }
This returns 3 if x is a "non-truthful" value like 0, null, false, and it returns x otherwise. This is useful for empty arguments, e.g. I can do A() and it will evaluate as 3.
Does Python have an equivalent? I guess I could make one out of the ternary operator a if b else c but was wondering what people use for this.
wow i thought i knew python untill tonight.. what is the correct way to do something like this.. heres my code
a = ["one", "two", "three"]
b = a #here i want a complete copy that when b is changed, has absolutely no effect on a
b.append["four"]
print a #a now has "four" in it..
so basically i want to know, instead of the b = a step, how would i correctly make a copy of a list or dictionary so that when b is changed a does not change along with it.. thanks guys
So the setup is a slew of proprietary server/client Python applications running on one Linux box (the server) and a set of Windows 7 workstations (the clients). Everything is running smoothly until any of the proprietary Python packages needs updating.
For now I am using distutils eggs which are very easily updated with easy_install, but it is still a manual process which quickly becomes tedious as the number of applications and client workstations grow.
The ideal setup IMHO is to have the Python packages on the server so when a client application is launched on a workstation the client application can check to see whether its current Python packages are up-to-date. If not, the client application should download the newer Python package from the server, install it, and then launch as per normal.
Does this sounds familiar to anyone? I have tried to find alternatives myself, but as far as I can see there is no Python module offering this functionality. Does anyone have any home made solutions for this?
Is there a general convention about exposing members in Python classes? I know that this is a case of "it depends", but maybe there is a rule of thumb.
Private member:
class Node:
def __init__(self):
self.__childs = []
def add_childs(self, *args):
self.__childs += args
node = Node()
node.add_childs("one", "two")
Public member:
class Node2:
def __init__(self):
self.childs = []
node2 = Node2()
node2.childs += "one", "two"
I have a string of HTML stored in a database. Unfortunately it contains characters such as ®
I want to replace these characters by their HTML equivalent, either in the DB itself or using a Find Replace in my Python / Django code.
Any suggestions on how I can do this?
given a list of python strings, how can I automatically convert them to their correct type? Meaning, if I have:
["hello", "3", "3.64", "-1"]
I'd like this to be converted to the list
["hello", 3, 3.64, -1]
where the first element is a stirng, the second an int, the third a float and the fourth an int.
how can I do this? thanks.
