A good solution may be to specify a language to determine the order.
The default would be (something like) en-US and thus early October in
the example.

Is there a library which can parse strings and output a datetime
object? It should be as magical as possible and allow things like:
12:30
tomorrow
10.10.2005
02-28-00
28/03/95
1995-03-28
1996.Feb.29 (Thu) 16:45:23.7
Is there anything like that out there? My Google can't find anything
useful ...
Things, which can be done better are:
- seperate content and layout (no table design, no font tags, ...)
- blue links on blue background are nearly as ugly as visited-purple
links on blue background
- he frontpage is overloaded. Ok this is worth a discussion: poweruser
vs. marketing

let me try.
1) ''.join(lots_of_pieces)
2) This doesn't even work, if something is removed, the list is too
short. So:
[x for x in somelist if not isbad(x)]
well, list comprehension is Python 2.4 and 2.3 is the standard in many
OSes, so it is possibly not the most portable solution
I had to look
id(blub)
-1210548288
This is not identity in a mathematical view.
def identity(x): return x
It has is uses. I had some kind of parser and had a dict like this:
{case: function, ...} It had to be a dict, because i wanted to
dynamically add and remove cases. In some cases nothing had to be done.
polished.
btw my blog runs on Python! :D

Depends on your experience. If you know C,C++,Java and the whole
C-syntax-bunch. I'd recommend Python just to learn to adapt a different
syntax. If you want to learn for the learnings sake, i'd also recommend
Haskell to try functional programming, if you do not already know it.
Ruby has some
Is it possible compiler.parse a statement, then change and then
execute/resolve it?
Background:
I'm probably to lazy to write my own parser.
I have such a statement as string: distance = x**2 + y**2
x and y are undefined, so it is no executable Python code, but it is
parseable. Now i'd like
Thank you! this compile/exec in context is the thing i wanted.
It is not that performant i think. But it should ease the prototyping.

Hm, you didn't include a link and my google did not find the final
results.
The results are fluctuating very much. This suggests a small number of
votes. Linux Journal may be a big magazine, but i don't think language
opinions change that fast.
The vote is all done by email this year, which is
What are you developing for?
You could write another small python scripts, which calls your script.

Coming back from a bug hunt, i am not sure what to think of this python
behaviour. Here is a demo program:
class A:
def __init__(self, lst=[]):
self.lst = lst
a = A()
b = A()
b.lst.append(hallo)
print a.lst # output: [hallo]
The point seems to be, that lst=[] creates a class attribute
Thanks for you answer! This copy trick is the most elegant solution i
think.

Do you think of pydoc? Just make comments in your code this way:
def add10(x):
this function adds ten to the given variable
Then save this into add.py and now (in the same directory):
pydoc add
Voila, your documentation.

I think for a quick hack, this is as good as a parser. A simple parser
would miss some cases as well. RE are nearly not extendable though, so
your critic is valid.
The point is, what George wants to do. A mixture would be possible as
well:
Getting all a ... by a RE and then extracting the url
Thanks for the hints. I just found NLTK and MontyLingua.
And yes, it is just adventure game language. This means every tense
except present tense is discarded as not changing world. Furthermore
the parser will make a lot of assumptions, which are perhaps 90% right,
not perfect:

I'm writing a parser for english language. This is a simple function to
identify, what kind of sentence we have. Do you think, this class
wrapping is right to represent the result of the function? Further
parsing then checks isinstance(text, Declarative).

class Sentence(str):
Well, a declarative sentence is essentially subject-predicate-object,
while a question is predicate-subject-object. This is important in
further processing. So perhaps i should code this order into the
classes? I need to think a little bit more about this.
Thanks for your feed for thought! :)

I don't know about a typical python way, but i'd like to know as well
;)
Personally i have a project for my project foo, which has
foo/__init__.py# with all the other modules
doc/# documentation is always a good idea
script/ # everything executable, which later goes into 'bin'
This nails it down, yes. :)
I probably was too deep into OOP thinking-mode to work pythonic. So i
am now rediscovering the python way.
Have you read Paul Grahams On Lisp (or was it one of his essays)? He is
strongly in favor of functional programming. Mainly because Lisp favors
it. He does say
I really should take a look at this CLOS, i think ... thanks for the

I recently found 'gnome-open', which does this. It chooses the Gnome

I was hacking on something similar. It could be called a collaborative
story-telling adventure game or something. My idea was to parse natural
language text not commands. The game manages locations and objects.
This is for story-telling roleplay. No stats, levels or monsters (at
