Is Eval *always* Evil?

Hi All, I'm writing a Django App to webify a Python script I wrote that parses some big XML docs and summarizes certain data contained within. This app will be used by a closed group of people, all with their own login credentials to the system (backed off to the corp SSO system). I've already got

Calling a method with a variable name

Hi All, I'm collating a bunch of my utility scripts into one, creating a single script to which I will symbolic link multiple times. This way I only have to write code for error checking, output-formatting etc a single time. So, I have ~/bin/foo -> ~/Code/python/mother_of_all_utility_scripts.

[SOLVED] Re: Should "open(sys.stdin)" and "open(file, 'r')" be equivalent?

Forget it all... I was being very very daft! The "default = 'False'" in the options for stdin was not being evaluated as I thought, so the script was waiting for stdin even when there was the glob switch was used...No stdin equals the script seeming to "hang". Ah well. SM -- http://mail.python.o

Last try at getting the indenting to appear correctly.. #!/usr/bin/env python import glob, os, sys class TestParse(object): def __init__(self): if options.stdin: self.scan_data(sys.stdin) if options.glob: self.files = glob.glob(options.glob)

parse date/time from a log entry with only strftime (and no regexen)

Hi All I'm writing a script to help with analyzing log files timestamps and have a very specific question on which I'm momentarily stumped I'd like the script to support multiple log file types, so allow a strftime format to be passed in as a cli switch (default is %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S). When i

dict generator question

unt", as I cannot do x += 1 or x++ as x may or may not yet exist, and I haven't found a way to create default values. I'm most probably not thinking pythonically enough... (I know I could do this pretty easily with a couple more lines, but I'd like to understand if there's a way to use a dict generator for this).

Re: Equivalents of Ruby's "!" methods?

Normally I would use a Ruby symbol as a hash key: h = { :key1 => "val1", :key2 => "val2" } >From the stdlib docs: "The same Symbol object will be created for a given name or string for the duration of a program's execution, regardless of the context or meaning of that name. Thus if Fred is a constant in one context, a method in another, and a class in a third, the Symbol :Fred will be the same object in all three contexts. " There is no equivalent in Python (as far as I know, and I'm only in my second week of Python so I'm more than likely incorrect!).

Equivalents of Ruby's "!" methods?

I ask is that I have some fairly complex data-structures and this would make my code alot cleaner... If this is not an accepted and pythonic way of doing things then please let me know... and I'll stop!

Hi All, I just finally found 30 minutes to try and write some code in Python and realized after a couple of minor syntactic false starts that I'd finished my initial attempt without needing to refer to any documention... And after the first few minutes I stopped noticing the whitespace thing that
