Generating all combinations
by Johannes Bauer June 5, 2009

June 5, 2009

Hello group, I'm trying to write a function in Python which does the following: For a number of arguments which are all lists, return a list (or generator) which yields all tuples of combination. E.g: foofunction() # returns [ ] foofunction([1, 2, 3]) # returns [ (1), (2), (3) ] foofunction([1, 2, 3], ["a", "b"], ["x"]) # returns [ (1, "a", "x"), (1, "b", "x"), (2, "a", "x"), (2, "b", "x"), (3, "a", "x"), (3, "b", "x") ] I must admit that I have no clue on how to do that efficiently (and more importantly: in a variadic manner) in Python. Any help is appreciated!

urlretrieve() failing on me
by Robert Dailey June 5, 2009

June 5, 2009

Hey guys, try using urlretrieve() in Python 3.0.1 on the following URL: http://softlayer.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/wxMSW-2.8.10.zip Have it save the ZIP to any destination directory. For me, this only downloads about 40KB before it stops without any error at all. Any reason why this isn't working?

(Also, it's not Alt+tilde (which would be Alt+Shift+`), it's Alt+` i.e. no Shift.) It's an alternate command, and IMO is just adding confusion to the discussion. > Ha ha ha ha ha! > > No -- really? Not really. If you don't want to save buffers, you just answer “No” when prompted by ‘save-buffers-kill-emacs’, so Ctrl+X Ctrl+C is all you need to know to exit Emacs. -- \ “Consider the daffodil.

How to develop a python application?
by Vincent Davis June 5, 2009

June 5, 2009

This might be a off topic but this also seemed like a good place to ask. I have an application (several) I would like to develop. Parts of it I can do but parts I would like to outsource. I am thinking mostly of outsourcing most of my django (or similar) work and otherwise have some custom classes written. I would like to do this small bits (that is the out sourcing) at a time for many reasons but I realize there are down sides to doing this (I probably don't know all them) I have a this specific project in mind but don't mind this topic being rather broad. I would like to read and learn more about developing software (commercial or open source) My questions How do I find programs interested in small projects. How do they expect to be paid or how should I pay. Are sites like elance.com good? What do I not know to ask? That is what should I be considering? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Very brief description of the project. The app would take GPS, Heartrate, Power(bicycle) data from a Garmin GPS and other devises and upload it to a database. After that I have several calculations and analysis of the data. Then display graphs and other statistics. This is a very brief explanation. There are several examples of similar python projects, but not web based. Granola pygarmin garmin-sync The closest web based example would be Training Peaks http://home.trainingpeaks.com/personal-edition/training-log-and-food-diary.… Thanks Vincent Davis 720-301-3003

And, AFAIK, pygccxml can generate pybindgen code.

can you or tavis or one of the cheetah masters please show us how to use cheetah from webpy the only useful thing webpy cheetah.py does is replace the #include with the content of the files Can you share a simple snippet/cookbook example on how to hook up cheetah from other frameworks such as django/webpy/pylons, if there is a unified way to access the cheetah template then the problems will be easier to fix?
