C wrappers and the proxy dilemma

Anyone who has wrapped C or C++ libraries has encountered the proxy dilemma. A long time ago, I naively thought that I could start by deriving my high level python class from the c-python type, but this leads to many difficult problems because several of the underlying methods return the low

Portable general timestamp format, not 2038-limited

I have a requirement to store timestamps in a database. Simple enough you might think but finding a suitably general format is not easy. The specifics are 1) subsecond resolution - milliseconds or, preferably, more detailed 2) not bounded by Unix timestamp 2038 limit 3) readable in Java 4) writabl

Ten years on....

I've been waiting for a month to post this (yesterday), and then I missed it. Oh, well, it's funny and deserves to be republished on its ten-year-and-one-day anniversary. BTW, a member of the ANSI C committee once told me that the only thing rand is used for in C code is to decide whether to pick

regular expression concatenation with strings

Hi folks, I have a little script that sits in a directory of images and, when ran, creates thumbnails of the images. It works fine if I call the function inside the program with something like "thumbnailer("jpg), but I want to use a regular expression instead of a plain string so that I can match

is this a valid import sequence ?

This might be a very weird construction, but it's the most easy way in translating another language into Python (for simulation). Although it works, I like to know if this a valid construction: I've defined a class, like this, attaching a not yet defined global to itself class T6963_device (tDe
