Python Linear Programming on Ubuntu

2008-09-16 Thread Fett
I am trying to find a wrapper to do linear programming within python. I am using an ubuntu machine and I have apt-get'd lp_solve, which works just fine. If someone knows of a wrapper that will work with that that'd be great. I also heard that scipy has a wrapper, however, I can't find any document

Can anyone suggest a good crypto package?

2008-09-04 Thread Fett
I need a crypto package that works on windows with python 2.5. Can anyone suggest one for me? I have been searching for a couple days for a good cryptography package to use for public/private key encryption, at this point I would settle for symmetric even. Every encryption package I have found fo

I am creating a program that requires some data that must be kept up to date. What I plan is to put this data up on a web-site then have the program periodically pull the data off the web-site. My problem is that when I pull the data (currently stored as a dictionary on the site) off the site, it
