I am not sure if I understood question correctly, but I supose that you want to build web app on multiple languages. My first guess is Service Oriented Programming. You build services on multiple languages and they can communicate trough JSon or XML

The canvas has many methods for finding objects. You could, for example, call find_closest to find the element closest to the coordinate you are wanting to check. Then, for the element it finds, you can use the coords method to find out if all of the coordinates of the element are identical.

Looks like warvariuc's answer requires a slight modification as of Scrapy 1.3.3: you need to override _parse_response instead of parse. Overriding make_requests_from_url is no longer necessary.

You said it, you are using SQLAlchemy's event interface, it is not the one of the RDBMS, and SQLAlchemy does not communicate with the other instances connected to that DB. SQLAlchemy's event system calls a function in your own process. It's up to you to make this function send a signal to the rest of them via the netwo...

I would like to use an expect-like module in python3. As far as I know, neither pexpect nor fabric work with python3. Is there any similar package I can use?

NO! Please, for the love of your God or intelligent designer, don't do that! Don't continually create/spawn/whatever threads and try to micro-manage them.

You should use Queue.Queue. Create a queue for each series, and a thread to listen on that queue. Each time you need to read a series, put a request in the queue. The thread waits for items in the queue, and each one it receives, it reads the data.

Does it spawn a new thread underneath? If classical web server spawns a thread to serve a HTTP request and with Twisted web I have to spawn a Deferred() each time I want to query mysql - where's the gain? Looks like it doesn't make sens if it spawned a thread, so how's it implemented?

Metaprogramming is strong in Python; Python classes are extremely malleable. You can alter them after declaration all the way you want, though it's best done in a metaclass (decorator). More than that, instances are malleable, independently of their classes. A 'reference to a place' is often simply a string. E.g. a ref...

Sphinx has only 2 types of data source they are sql data source and xmlpipe datasource. At the moment you cant directly search json files One solution that I can think off is to store the json data in a database and then use sql data source. Just be creative when storing the json data and when indexing it.

You need to know your server's IP or domain address. If you used example.com to access you server SSH, then launching Django with ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8002 and accessing it with http://example.com:8002 should work. But if you only know IP, then launch Django with that IP instead of 0.0.0.0 and access it wi...

While the pickle module is an obvious choice, the files it writes will be non-human-readable. For configuration files, it would be good if your configuration file was a simple text format that your users can read or even edit. So, I recommend you use JSON and the json module.

I've been searching the web and reading about GUI development in Python and have read that Tkinter is one of the best GUI toolkits for Python. But I also know that Pygame is a library that can be used for GUI. As i'm fairly new to programming, could somebody please explain the differences between Pygame and Tkinter, an...

What you are describing is the task of "paraphrase" (or bidirectional "textual entailment"). This is an extremely hard problem and an open research area. I doubt that there is a system available that would do well enough on this task for real-world, general use. If you have a very narrow set of transformations in min...

I would like to find an NLP library in Python, PHP or even JavaScript for determining whether a sentence in a string is equivalent to a differently structured sentence? For example, the library would need to be able to determine whether these two sentences are equivalent: "Would you like the order for here or to go?" "...

you might try to use np.memmap, and compute the 10x10 output matrix one element at a time. so you just load the first row of the first matrix and the first column of the second, and then np.sum(row1 * col1).

Im trying to produce a usual matrix multiplication between two huge matrices (10*25,000,000). My memory runs out when I do so. How could I use numpy's memmap to be able to handle this? Is this even a good idea? I'm not so worried about the speed of the operation, I just want the result even if it means waiting some tim...

A) The mr.developer recipe mentioned on your recipe's page is probably a better choice. B) you want your eggs in bin/python? Include them in 'eggs' in your zc.recipe.eggs part in your buildout where you generate bin/python.

I'm using isotoma.buildout.autodevelop to develop eggs which I'm currently developing within my buildout. I would like to include these developed eggs (which are located on the filesystem next to my buildout.cfg) as namespaces in my buildout's custom interpreter. Can anyone provide an example of this or link to some r...

This isn't rocket science. Create a constants file, say constants.txt. Put name/value pairs in that file in an easily-parseable format. For example name:value. Write a small program in your language of choice (Python would be great for this). This program reads in constants.txt, and then writes out an appropriate f...

First, let me preface this by saying I am brand new to both Python and Django. I would like to be using a language I already know, like and prefer, alas the frameworks simply don't exist for them. Bottom line, I'm no "pythonista." At any rate, I'm on the first couple of pages of a Django tutorial, and am at the point...

The short answer is that the site packages live in /app/.heroku/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages. If you want to take a look around you can open a remote shell using `heroku run -app [app_name] bash'. However, you probably don't want to just edit the packages in place since there's no guarantee that heroku won't wip...

I've launched my app on Heroku but need to change one of the files of one the dependent libs that I installed in the requirements.txt file. On my local machine, this would just be in my virtual environment in lib > python2.7 > site-packages etc. Where are these dependencies stored within Heroku's file structure? When I...

There is no official library for what you're trying to do, and the Google Terms of Service prohibit using automated tools to 'scrape' search results.

My problem was with a workspace saved in Google Drive, but where Drive had created a lot of files with a (1) before the first period in the .metadata folder, presumably as a conflict resolution thing.

I'm attempting to get eclipse running as something more powerful than a colored text editor so that I can do some Maya scripting. There's literally nothing fancy about this setup, it just doesn't keep my interpreter once the prefs window is closed. I can open and view .py docs fine, but pydev will not keep the interpr...
Eclipse + Pydev wont keep interpreter setting within the same session.

I had the same problem in fedora, disappearing interpreter settings. The issue was Eclipse couldn't write to the folder even after granting read+write access. Solution: Go to terminal and type: sudo eclipse enter admin password to run as admin. Solved

I had the same issue. This is how I solved it: Go to your workspace folder. Edit the file ".pydevproject". Change the path located after "PYTHON_PROJECT_INTERPRETER" pydev property. Save and you're good to go.

I encountered this problem, and the issue was that .project and .pydevproject were read only and Eclipse couldn't save the configurations. Solution: make .project and .pydevproject writable.
