AOP and pep 246
by Rustom Mody Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

I am interested in AOP in python. From here one naturally (or google-ly) reaches peak. But peak seems to be discontinued. Whereas pep-246 on adaptors seems to be rejected in favor of something else. What?? Can someone please throw some light on whats the current state of the art?

Print a list to a string?
by mrstephengross Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

I would like to get the results of a print operation placed in a string. For instance, you can very easily create a list and print it to stdout: x = [1,2,3] print x # Will print [1,2,3] What if I want the text "[1,2,3]" placed in a string? For instance, something like: x = [1,2,3] str = '' print str x # x = '[1,2,3]' Any ideas? Thanks, --Steve

urllib.getproxies and PAC
by gooli Nov. 1, 2007

Hi, I'm using urllib to get html pages from the web but my computer is behind a proxy. The proxy is automatically configured in Internet Explorer via a proxy.pac file (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config). >From what I can see in the urllib source it only handles proxies that are manually configured in IE and doesn't concern itself with automatic configuration. Does anybody know of some code that can handle all the proxy configuration variants? Thanks.

just a crazy question
by Robert LaMarca Nov. 1, 2007

Hi all.. Was planning to use Python (maybe C later) to mock parallel processing project.. About to put together a set of computers for this.. Wondered if anyone had any knowledge or ideas about using a playstation running linux? My first impressions are that it is interesting.. for $400, one can get access to 6 smps under linux.. For about $300-$600 one could build basic x86 node..... probably between 2 and 4 cores on the x86 node, though the quads are still a bit pricey. Upside of PS3... lotsa cores for less... Downside.. less, a lot less RAM.. Of course, the PS3 does not allow access to the graphics, but for my purposes, I don't mind that.. So.. how is Python for memory management? ... My plan is to try measuring the memory usage of my python code elements and take a guess as to how it might perform on a cell-system.. . naturally a good idea in any event.. But.. Just thought maybe someone out in Python world would have an idea? Thanks! Best Robert

ANN: O'Reilly e-book, "Getting Started with Pyparsing"
by Paul McGuire Nov. 1, 2007

I'm happy to report the release of the O'Reilly ShortCut, "Getting Started With Pyparsing." This 65-page e-book goes into detail on Pyparsing's design rationale, basic features, and a succession of applications. "Getting Started With Pyparsing" covers a range of samples, from an extended version of "Hello, World!" to a 100-line search engine. An index helps you quickly find descriptions and sample uses of the most common Pyparsing classes and methods. Several chapter excerpts are available online, including this chapter on the Zen of Pyparsing: http://preview.tinyurl.com/yp4v48 For more details, see O'Reilly's web page: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514235/ Thanks, -- Paul McGuire (For those who have downloaded it, please add a review to the book download page.)

source example including the python shell in a wxPython application
by chewie54 Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

Is there an python example that shows how to include a python shell in a wxPython application. I have looked the wxPython demo but I was wondering if there are any others that might be helpful in seeing how to connect the shell into the app and allow scripting so that the shell knows all about the app classes and variables. thanks,

Which persistence is for me?
by Neal Becker Nov. 1, 2007

Nov. 1, 2007

I need to organize the results of some experiments. Seems some sort of database is in order. I just took a look at DBAPI and the new sqlite interface in python2.5. I have no experience with sql. I am repulsed by e.g.: c.execute("""insert into stocks values ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)""") ewww. How unpythonic. I don't want to use a string to specify what function to execute. I want to call a function (c.insert?). Is there some other interface/database that I might like better?

hello all, I had mentioned previously that I can't open html files in python. I have my username as krishna and there is a documents folder. so when I give webbrowser.open("file:///home/krishna/documents/tut.html") on python prompt I get true as return value but web browser (firefox ) opens with page not found. and the address bar shows the following address which indeed is wrong. file:///home/krishna/"file:///home/krishna/documents/tut.html" I can't understand what is happening. regards, Krishnakant.
