Re: Can I Import table from txt file into form letter using Python?

Using the data you supplied as is, you could try something like: def print_cities(filename): # cnt is used just to know if it's time for a newline cnt = 0 cities = open(filename,'r').readlines() for city in cities: # Make sure we have a valid population if re.match('\d+$',city.spli

Re: Checking for valid date input and convert appropriately

The datetime function: strptime() DOES check the date for validity. So try something like: from datetime import datetime def get_date(): while True: try: date_in = raw_input("Enter date (dd mm ): ") date_out = datetime.strptime(date_in,"%d %m %Y").strftime("%Y-%m-%d")

Transparent Proxy and Redirecting Sockets

Hi all, Around I have found plenty useful sources about TCP transparent proxies. However I am still missing how to make socket redirection. What I would like to do is: host_A <--> PROXY <--> host_B ^ | host_C <-- At the beginning the proxy is simply forwarding th

What am I doing wrong installing Python 2.7.3?

I have downloaded the windows installer for a 32 bit installation of python 2.7.3 but it tells me that: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package python 2.7.

yeah, i just checked github, i thought a buddy of mine had submitted an issue not sure how they get their updates. this is an interesting project - https://github.com/kencochrane/pypi-mirrors On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 6:04 AM, Philipp Hagemeister wrote: > Just FYI, PyPi already has an RSS feed: >

totally agree. if you just had a listener setup you could just have a simple trigger-action setup. On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 6:07 AM, Philipp Hagemeister wrote: > On 02/21/2013 02:58 PM, Michael Herman wrote: > > Oh - and I haven't tried this site, but you may be able to set something > up > > on t

Re: pypi changelog api

Just FYI, PyPi already has an RSS feed: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=rss And instead of mailing the author, you should probably open an issue (or better yet, a pull request) at https://github.com/crateio/crate.web/issues For that matter - how does crate.io update their PyPi mirror? Cheer

Re: pypi changelog api

I'd love to see https://crate.io/ set up an API or at the very least an RSS feed for tracking changes. I've emailed the author about this. I think if enough people do, an RSS feed would be easy to setup. On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 5:33 AM, Philipp Hagemeister wrote: > Hi Gregg, > > to get a smaller

Re: pypi changelog api

Hi Gregg, to get a smaller response, you can simply pass in a timestamp, like this: >>> client = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://pypi.python.org/pypi') >>> import time >>> client.changelog(int(time.time() - 600)) [['vs.bootstrap.plonetheme', '1.0.1', 1361451748, 'update description, classifiers'],

Re: Urllib's urlopen and urlretrieve

Are you just trying to get the html? If so, you can use this code- *import urllib* * * *# fetch the and download a webpage, nameing it test.html* *urllib.urlretrieve("http://www.web2py.com/";, filename="test.html")* I recommend using the requests library, as it's easier to use and more powerful:

Urllib's urlopen and urlretrieve

I only just started Python and given that I know nothing about network programming or internet programming of any kind really, I thought it would be interesting to try write something that could create an archive of a website for myself. With this I started trying to use the urllib library, howe

Thanks for the replies. Its also important for me to have asynchronous abilities. I will be running some programs which will be taking much longer (1-2 minutes) and I don't want others to be blocked. On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 2:35 AM, Chris Rebert wrote: > On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 8:04 PM, Rita
