distutils really isn't all that difficult once you get the hang of it. It's really just a matter of putting in some meta-information (program name, author, version, etc) and then selecting what files you want to include. For example, here's a sample distutils setup.py module from a decently complex python library: [...

Only thing I can think of to handle what you're wanting to do is to have to params, one that describes the param type (an enum with LogonName, BadgeNumer, etc) and the second is the param value.

I'm trying to create web applications that use JavaScript. I'd like to be able to use animation in these applications. I've tried to use basic JavaScript, but I've decided that the best thing to do is to use a library (such as [YUI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_UI_Library) or jQuery). I'm running into a probl...

Ok, I've solved my own problem. To get that "authdata" string, you need to configure your client to how you need to authenticate. Then navigate to c:[users directory][username]\Local Settings\Application Data\plastic. Pick up the client.conf and extract the string from the SecurityConfig element in the XML.

I currently use the following function to do a simple HTTP GET. ``` public static String download(String url) throws java.io.IOException { java.io.InputStream s = null; java.io.InputStreamReader r = null; //java.io.BufferedReader b = null; StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder(); try { ...
Is there a reason to use BufferedReader over InputStreamReader when reading all characters?

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it until you see a problem. Messing with the default python install on a *Nix system can cause more trouble than it's worth. I can say from personal experience that you never truly understand what python has done for the nix world until you have a problem with it. You can also add ...

Why not use FormsAuth, but against ActiveDirectory instead as per the info in [this thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30861/authenticationg-domain-users-with-systemdirectoryservices). It's just as (in)secure as Basic Auth, but logging out is simply a matter of blanking a cookie (or rather, calling [FormsAuthe...

You are correct, if you use BufferedReader for reading HTTP content and headers you will want InputStreamReader so you can read byte for byte. BufferedReader in this scenario sometimes does weird things...escpecially when it comes to reading HTTP POST headers, sometimes you will be unable to read the POST data, if yo...

My gut tells me that since you're already performing buffering by using the byte array, it's redundant to use the BufferedReader.

I see many similar questions, however I want to find the Username of the currently logged in user using Java. Its probably something like: ``` System.getProperty(current.user); ``` But, I'm not quite sure.

I have been using Castle MonoRail for the last two years, but in a new job I am going to be the one to bring in ASP.NET MVC with me. I understand the basics of views, actions and the like. I just need a good sample for someone with MVC experience. Any good links besides Scott's Northwind traders sample?
Where can I find a good ASP.NET MVC sample?

How much info are you sharing between the Plugins and the main program? If you are doing anything more than just executing them and waiting for the results (sharing no data between the program and the plugin in the process) then you could most likely get away with them being proprietary, otherwise they would probably n...

You can use a [Derived Column Transformation](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141069.aspx) in which you'll create a new output column and set its value to 2. You can then use that column when outputting to SQL.
