Another approach is to use the standard csv module to read the file lines into the rows like ['Vincent', '18', '190']. If you want the numbers as integers (i.e. not as strings), the strings must be converted explicitly via int(str_variable).

There are certainly other ways. Whether they're better is a different matter.

You need to run the program with escalated privileges. Under Ubuntu, this is normally done with the sudo command, which will prompt the user for their password.

I'd like to place a special file in the /usr/bin folder of Ubuntu. Basically I'm trying to write a setup file in python which would do the job. But administrative privileges are needed to fulfill the job, how to provide my setup with these privileges (provided that I have the password and can use it in my program)?

In my experience creating a class is a very good solution for a number of reasons. One is that you wind up using the class as a 'normal' class (esp. making more than just one instance) more often than you might think. It's also a reasonable style choice to stick with classes for everthing; this can make it easier for o...

Hm. I don't believe any utilty like this exists. It would be nice if there were a reverse ModelForm. It would look at field type and get the data ranges for each field for a search form. I think right now you are stuck with creating a text box and a datepicker range. And processing that data in a view.

Don't forget that the remoteapi executes your code locally and only calls appengine servers for datastore/blobstore/etc. operations. So in essence, you're running code that's hitting a database living over the network. It's definitely slower.

Depending on the size of your blob, I would say that dramatically reducing the resolution of your image may achieve what you want. Reduce it to a 1/10 resolution, find the one white pixel, and then you have a precise idea of where to search for the centroid.

The centroid's coordinates are arithmetic means of coordinates of the points. If you want the linear solution, just go pixel by pixel, and count means of each coordinates, where the pixels are white, and that's the centroid. There is probably no way you can make it better than linear in general case, however, if your c...

I've got a 640x480 binary image (0s and 255s). There is a single white blob in the image (nearly circular) and I want to find the centroid of the blob (it's always convex). Essentially, what we're dealing with is a 2D boolean matrix. I'd like the runtime to be linear or better if possible - is this possible? Two lines...

PgBouncer reduces the latency in establishing connections by serving as a proxy which maintains a connection pool. This may help speed up your application if you're opening many short-lived connections to Postgres. If you only have a small number of connections, you won't see much of a win.

Regex and wildcards are slow in search engines. You'll get better performance by pre-processing the terms in a language-sensitive way. You can match "run" to "running" with a stemmer, an analysis step that reduces different forms of a word to a common stem. When the query and the index term are both stemmed, then they ...

I'm guessing the OP is talking about an MDI frame, which Microsoft created and has since decided to abandon. I think the OP should check out the wx.agw.aui widget set versus the wx.aui stuff since the former has been updated a lot and wx.aui has not. Plus the agw package is pure Python and thus much more hackable.

I have a quick question about WxPython. I would like to have frames inside of my main frame in a program. The user should not be able to move the frame. Any ideas you guys? Thanks

The following is reposted from my comment on the question, so that this question may be marked as answered (assuming OP is satisfied with this answer). It was originally posted as a comment because it does not answer the question directly. The reason there aren't many tutorials on how to do this on Linux is because ...

IPython is a Python package. When you have multiple Pythons, you must (generally, barring PYTHONPATH hacks) install a package for a given Python. yum would only install it for the System Python, so you must install it separately for your own Python. The solution is to simply pip install ipython with your own Python ...

I am guessing that I am not the only one using non-system Python 2.7.2 for scientific computations on 6.2 PUIAS Linux (RedHat)). My Python 2.7.2 is installed in the sandbox and I call it with the command python2.7. When I need to execute scripts this is not the problem. However, I would like to use ipython instead defa...

I would suggest threading it allows the webserver to be unaffected by the scheduled tasks that will either be in a queue or written into the code itself.

On linux, you can open('/dev/sdX', 'r'). However, the easier way is using the dd commandline utility (but it will only work properly if both disks are exactly the same).

I want to read bytes directly off a hard drive, preferably using python. How can I do this, provided it is even possible. Also, can I write directly to a hard drive, and how? I want to do this to make a complete clone of a hard drive, and then restoring from that backup. I'm quite certain there are easier ways to get w...

I want to run a command which prompts me to enter yes/no or y/n or whatever. If I just run the command local("my_command") then it stops and asks me for input. When I type what is needed, script continues to work. How can I automatically respond to the prompt?

One thing to take into account for the huge numpy array is that you are not touching it. Memory is allocated lazily by default by the kernel. Try writing some values in that huge array and then check for swapping behaviour.

My program plots a large number of lines (~200k) with matplotlib which is pretty greedy for memory. I usually have about 1.5G of free memory before plotting. When I show the figures, the system starts swapping heavily when there's still about 600-800M of free RAM. This behavior is not observed when, say, creating a hug...

I am guessing you will have to set up your own proxy service for this, i.e set up your entire API and OAuth logic on a server outside your own country. If you call this proxy service from within your own country it is probably not apparent that you are actually communicating with Twitter. You will need some sort of cr...

Twitter, Facebook and some other websites are blocked in my country. And I want to call the open API to do some hacking. I have searched but it can't solve my problem. Any python libraries can help me sign the OAuth request through proxy and get the access token ? Thanks.

You may use something like the common solution on *nix. Install the config files to %PROGRAMFILES%, and copy them to %APPDATA% when the program detects a particular user is running the program for the first time (which can be detected by checking that the config files are missing).

My setup routine using distutils that works perfectly fine on Windows XP does not work for Windows 7. Here are the specifics: My package has a lot of config files which I install into %APPDATA%. On Windows I run setup.py with the bdist_wininst option to create an installer. On Win7 the installer is then executed as Adm...

You should open the file with a codecs to make sure that the file gets interpreted as UTF8. import codecs fd = codecs.open(filename,'r',encoding='utf-8') data = fd.read()

I keep getting this error while reading a text file. Is it possible to handle/ignore it and proceed? UnicodeEncodeError: ‘charmap’ codec can’t decode byte 0x81 in position 7827: character maps to undefined.

If you start your script with something like #!/usr/local/bin/python (but using the path to your python interpreter) you can run it without including python in your command, like a bash script.

When I import the wx module in a python interpreter it works as expect. However, when I run a script (ie. test.py) with wx in the imports list, I need to write "python test.py" in order to run the script. If I try to execute "test.py" I get an import error saying there is no module named "wx". Why do I need to include ...
