What is the easiest way to handle dates/times in Python? | 1,096,396 | <p>My use case is that I'm just making a website that I want people all over the world to be able to use, and I want to be able to say things like "This happened at 5:33pm on October 5" and also "This happened 5 minutes ago," etc.</p>
<p>Should I use the datetime module?
Or just strftime?
Or something fancier that is... | 1 | 2009-07-08T06:29:03Z | 1,096,409 | <p>Take a look at the dateutil module:</p>

Is os.popen really deprecated in Python 2.6? | 1,098,257 | <p>The on-line <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.popen">documentation</a> states that os.popen is now deprecated. All other deprecated functions duly raise a DeprecationWarning. For instance:</p>

Looking for elegant glob-like DNA string expansion | 1,098,461 | <p>I'm trying to make a glob-like expansion of a set of DNA strings that have multiple possible bases.</p>
<p>The base of my DNA strings contains the letters A, C, G, and T. However, I can have special characters like M which could be an A or a C.</p>
<p>For example, say I have the string:</p>
<p><code>ATMM</code><... | 2 | 2009-07-08T14:28:03Z | 1,098,478 | <p>This isn't really an "expansion" problem and it's almost certainly not doable with any sensible regular expression.</p>
<p>I believe what you're looking for is "how to generate permutations".</p>
