I have a script that creates zip files of dirs containing symlinks. I was surprised to find that the zipfiles have zipped the targets of the links as opposed to the links themselves, which is what I wanted and expected. Googling I found this:

Emulating plotly's contour map color distribution

I am using a javascript ploting package called plotly and I use that to generate a contour map. In that package you define a rangeMin, rangeMax, and binSize, and you give it a color map, e.g.: [["0", "rgb(0,0,0)"], ["0.3", "rgb(230,0,0)"], ["0.6", "rgb(255,210,0)"], ["1", "rgb(255,255,255)"]]

List comprehension with if-else

I'm trying to do a list comprehension with an if and that requires an else, but in the else case I do not want anything added to the list. For example, if I do this: white_list = [l.control_hub.serial_number if l.wblist == wblist_enum['WHITE'] else None for l in wblist] I end up with None in

sort help

I currently have 3 lists of lists and I sort them based on a common field into a single list like this: def GetObjKey(a): return a[2] sorted(a + b + c, key=GetObjKey) Which works just fine. But now, I need to have just the first list (a) also sub sorted by another
