Yes, this should be possible. Your solution might look something like this: A user creates a new group. You generate some random questions and store them in a list for that group. More users join that group. You start showing the questions to the users by selecting the first question in that groups list. Once all u...

I have a python script that gave different output when run on a Windows machine and when run on a Mac.

Thus, if I change every \n in the script to \r...

blank=True allows you to input nothing (i.e "", None) and keep it empty. null=True means the database row is allowed to be NULL. default=None sets the field to None if no other value is given.

You can get the character (and thus, the line number) at a pixel position using an index of @x,y (eg: @0,0 for the top-left-most visible character).

Is there any way to get what lines are currently visible in a Tkinter text widget? I'm trying to make a scrollbar. Currently I'm trying to coordinate my scroll bar with the other methods of scrolling (ie, the arrow keys and scroll wheel). So that when I scroll with the arrow keys or mouse, my bar scrolls too.

Don't think of a tar file as a database that you can read/write -- it's not. A tar file is a concatenation of files. To modify a file in the middle, you need to rewrite the rest of the file.

Carl, whenever you write data into a file what Python actually does is buffer the data and then does its I/O operation with the file (writing the data into the file). This operation is called 'flushing' (the buffers). You have to make sure you are close()ing the opened file, if not, buffer won't be flushed and thus you...

One thing I might suggest is using Python's built-in array class (http://docs.python.org/library/array.html), with a type of 'B'. Coding will be simplest if you use one byte per pixel, but if you want to save memory, you can pack 8 to a byte, and access using your own bit manipulation.

Java and python can be compiled in a way that maintains platform independance. This holds even for C#. Advantages are that VMs are able to convert this mostly strongly typed bytecode into very good platform specific code with relativ low overhead. Since Java is intended to "build once - run anywhere", the JVM has been ...

So, for example, Python and Java have a VM, C and Haskell do not. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Thinking about what languages on both sides of the line have, I can't find the reason. Java is static in a lot of ways, while Haskell provides a lot of dynamic features.
What is a VM and why do dynamic languages need one?

A VM (Virtual Machine) is actually a tool for a language designer to avoid some complexity in writing the implementation of a language. Basically is a specification of a virtual computer and how each piece of said computer will interact with the other. You can code some assumptions in this specification that can be us...

Imagine you created a programming language: you figured out the language semantics and developed a nice syntax. However, a textual representation isn't enough: Having to parse text again and again when executing a program is inefficient, so it's natural to add an in-memory binary representation. Couple that with a cust...

A virtual machine is basically an interpreter that interprets a language closer to machine code. When real machine interprets real machine code, Virtual Machine interprets a made-up machine code. Some VM-s interpret machine code of an actual computer - these are called emulators. It's easier to write an interpreter for...

It's nothing to do with static vs. dynamic. Rather, it's about becoming independent from the underlying hardware platform ("build once, run everywhere" - in theory...) Actually, it's nothing to do with the language, either. One could write a C compiler that generates bytecode for the JVM. One could write a Java compi...

Possibly neither; it depends on what you want to do. Both PHP and Python are scripting languages, and are therefore not suited for high-performance numerical routines (which most image processing requires). However, they both have a number of image-processing libraries available for them, the innards of which are prob...

I am writing an application for image processing. I am just wondering which programming language would be the best fit. Python or PHP. This process is system based not web based so I am just thinking if Python could be of more help. Let me know your thoughts!

One cannot suggest much without knowing the kind of image processing you have in mind. If you just want to do some generic rotate/resize/etc then I guess there isn't much difference. If you want to do something more complex, then study the libraries and decide which fits best for your particular task. If you want to d...

It really depends on what you want to do with the images. You probably should just use a batch or similar script to run a command that does the processing your looking for. Between the two languages, I would go with python. The command line interface for php is only a recent addition, while python was designed primaril...

Python is more clean and readable. For image processing there is the imageMagic library available for Python and PHP too. If you want to do some other complex image processing, which cannot by done using a library and you still want to do it in Python or PHP, then Python is defenitely the answer as Python can be extend...
