Much like Java (or php), I'm use to seperating the classes to files.
Is it the same deal in Python? plus, how should I name the file?
Lowercase like classname.py or the same like ClassName.py?
Do I need to do something special if I want to create an object from this class or does the fact that it's in the same "project" (netbeans) makes it ok to create an object from it?
Right now I am using an arduino to send data from an analog sensor to COM4. I am trying to make a python script that continuously monitors that data and looks for a certain parameter.
I tried something like this but it isn't outputing the data like I want.
import serial
port = "COM4"
ser = serial.Serial(port,9600, timeout =1)
value = 0
while 1:
value = ser.read()
print value
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?
What Python libraries do folks use for querying Amazon product data? (Amazon Associates Web Service - used to be called E-Commerce API, or something along those lines).
Based on my research, PyAWS (http://pyaws.sourceforge.net/) seems okay, but still pretty raw (and hasn't been updated in a while). Wondering if there's an obvious canonical library that I'm just missing.
Hi,
I need to compare two files and redirect the different lines to third file. I know using diff command i can get the difference . But, is there any way of doing it in python ?
Hi there,
I'm trying to find information on different ways to traverse an object tree in python.
I don't know much about the language in general yet, so any suggestions/techniques would be welcome.
Thanks so much

When I run some python code in NetBeans, which raises an error, the output in NetBeans just gives an error message and no further information, such as line number. Is there any way to fix that?
It is recommended to not to use import * in python. Can anyone please share the reason for that, so that I can avoid it doing next time.
Thanks and Regards
Can somebody explain to me why this works (in Python 2.5) :
class Foo(object):
pass
class Bar(Foo):
pass
print(Foo.__subclasses__())
but this doesn't :
class Foo():
pass
class Bar(Foo):
pass
print(Foo.__subclasses__())
The latter returns "AttributeError: class Foo has no attribute '__subclasses__'" but i'm not sure why. I know this is related to old-style vs. new-style classes but i'm not clear on why that would make this functionality unavailable.
Is there a way in python to programmatically determine the width of the console? I mean the number of characters that fits in one line without wrapping, not the pixel width of the window.

Hello,
I want to make an executable file (.exe) of my python's application.
I want to know how to do it but have this in mind:
I use a c++ dll!
Do I have to put the dll along side with the .exe or is there some other way?
Thanks in advance!
Is there any fast method to make a transposition of a rectangular 2D matrix in Python (non-involving any library import).? Say, if I have an array X=[[1,2,3], [4,5,6]] I need an array Y which should be a transposed version of X, so Y=[[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]].
Hello all, I have a python script and am wondering is there any way that I can ensure that the script run's continuously on a remote computer? Like for example, if the script crashes for whatever reason, is there a way to start it up automatically instead of having to remote desktop. Are there any other factors I have to be aware of? The script will be running on a window's machine.
Hello everybody
I'm trying to manually create the file descriptor associated with a socket in python and then loaded directly into memory with mmap. Create a file into memory with mmap is simple, but I can not find a way to associate the file with a socket.
Anyone know how?
thank you very much.
When I run my python script in the shell terminal, it works
sudo myscript.py --version=22 --base=252 --hosts="{'hostA':[1],'hostB':[22]}"
But when I run in Hudson and Jenkins, using Execute Shell step, somehow, the string --hosts="{'hostA':[1],'hostB':[22]}" is interpreted as
sudo myscript.py --version=22 --base=252 '--hosts="{'hostA':[1],'hostB':[22]}"'
How do we overcome this so that our script would run in Jenkins and Hudson ?
Thank you.
Sincerely
I'm wondering specifically what experienced programmers thought when they started developing in Python. I'm sure the answer depends on your background, but my own personal answer is the conversion of basically anything in the language to a True/False value in boolean contexts.
Resulting in "oddities" like:
if x:
not meaning the same thing as:
if x == True:
I understand why, but it bugs me, and I certainly had to think about it a bit when I first ran into it.
I want to know how to run a progress bar and some other work simultaneously, then when the work is done, stop the progress bar in Python (2.7.x)
import sys, time
def progress_bar():
while True:
for c in ['-','\\','|','/']:
sys.stdout.write('\r' + "Working " + c)
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.2)
def work():
*doing hard work*
How would I be able to do something like:
progress_bar() #run in background?
work()
*stop progress bar*
print "\nThe work is done!"
I need to share a huge dictionary (around 1 gb in size) between multiple processs, however since all processes will always read from it. I dont need locking.
Is there any way to share a dictionary without locking?
The multiprocessing module in python provides an Array class which allows sharing without locking by setting
lock=false
however There is no such option for Dictionary provided by manager in multiprocessing module.
I have a list L of objects (for what it's worth this is in scons). I would like to create two lists L1 and L2 where L1 is L with an item I1 appended, and L2 is L with an item I2 appended.
I would use append but that modifies the original list.
How can I do this in Python? (sorry for the beginner question, I don't use the language much, just for scons)
I have a large data set of tuples containing (time of event, latitude, longitude) that I need to visualize. I was hoping to generate a 'movie'-like xy-plot, but was wondering if anyone has a better idea or if there is an easy way to do this in Python?
Thanks in advance for the help,

What do the bit operators like AND(&),OR(|),XOR(^) in python do behind the screen? What do they calculate? I cannot understand the results they give when used in a program?
30&45 yields 12. How can we relate these three?
30|45 yields 63. How are these three related?
Please answer this...
Java is not my main programming language so I might be asking the obvious.
But is there a simple file-handling library in Java, like in python?
For example I just want to say:
File f = Open('file.txt', 'w')
for(String line:f){
//do something with the line from file
}
Thanks!
I'm using Python's subprocess.communicate() to read stdout from a process that runs for about a minute. How can I print out each line of that process's stdout in a streaming fashion, so that I can see the output as it's generated, but still block on the process terminating before continuing? subprocess.communicate() appears to give all the output at once.
