Search functionality for Django

<p>I'm developing a web app using Django, and I'll need to add search functionality soon.

Python: defining my own operators?

<p>No, you can't create new operators. However, if you are just evaluating expressions, you could process the string yourself and calculate the results of the new operators.</p>

<p>If you intend to apply the operation on a particular class of objects, you could just override the operator that matches your function the closest... for instance, overriding <code>__eq__()</code> will override the <code>==</code> operator to return whatever you want. This works for almost all the operators.</p>

<p>Audio processing is pretty new for me. And currently using Python Numpy for processing wave files. After calculating FFT matrix I am getting noisy power values for non-existent frequencies.

<p>Simulated waveforms shouldn't show FFTs like your figure, so something is very wrong, and probably not with the FFT, but with the input waveform. The main problem in your plot is not the ripples, but the harmonics around 1000 Hz, and the subharmonic at 500 Hz. A simulated waveform shouldn't show any of this (for e...

<p>I am having a script which makes a db connection and pereform some select operation.accroding to the fetch data i am calling different functions which also perform db operations.How can i pass db connection to the functions which are being called as i donot want to make new connection</p>

<p>Why to pass connection itself? Maybe build a class that handles all the DB-operation and just pass this class' instance around, calling it's methods to perform selects, inserts and all that DB-specific code? </p>

An algorithm to generate subsets of a set satisfying certian conditions

<p>Suppose I am given a sorted list of elements and I want to generate all subsets satisfying some condition, so that if a given set does not satisfy the condition, then a larger subset will also not satisfy it, and all sets of one element do satisfy it.</p> <p>For example, given a list of all positive integers smalle...

<p>I think in the worst case, you still have to generate all subsets and calculate the sum of each set to determine if it is qualify or not. Asymptotically, it is the cost of subsets generating procedure.</p> <p>The following is the method I implemented in javascript for the same idea. </p> <pre><code>//this is to ge...

<p>I managed to do this with cx_Oracle.</p> <p>I used the sys.xmltype.createxml() function in the statement that inserts the rows in a table with XMLTYPE fields; then I used prepare() and setinputsizes() to specify that the bind variables I used for XMLTYPE fields were of cx_Oracle.CLOB type.</p>

Retrieving network mask in Python

<p>How would one go about retrieving a network device's netmask (In Linux preferably, but if it's cross-platform then cool)?
