global

I'm writing a program in Python, and nearly every method im my class is written like this: def someMethod(self): try: #... except someException: #in case of exception, do something here #e.g display a dialog box to inform the user #that he has done something wrong As the class grows, it is a little bit annoying to write the same try-except block over and over. Is it possible to create some sort of 'global' exception for the whole class? What's the recommended way in Python to deal with this? Write one or more exception handler functions that, given a function and the exception raised in it,

In python, i have a function that returns a list of the latest links(to folders) on a website. I also have another function that downloads the latest files from those folders. I plan to run this script everyday. I have a global list with the folder links that the download function accesses everytime it runs for the latest folders. I want to update that global list every five days and keep it static for the next 5 days i run the code until it updates again. Its sort of like this: list = ["link1", "link2",...] def update(): #code to update list return list def download(list): #code to download

I find that I always find it useful to have a list of all Countries and their country codes. If someone provided it in multiple formats (eg: SQL, DDL, Xml, CSV, JSON, YAML... ). I've found sites that attempt to sell a list of countries but that seems crazy to me. Is there an open source project that I'm overlooking? If there isn't does anyone else see any usefulness of starting a project that maintains a list of countries and even something that attempts a region hierarchy? There have been times where I have been wanting to retrieve the top 50 largest cities in a province located in Canada for

I came across this snippet of code: section .text global main ;must be declared for linker (gcc) and then there is a function called main after this line: main: ;tell linker entry point but i don't seem to understand what global main means, and the comment doesn't seem to help much... i am using this site as a reference to Assembly language programming. i can analyse that main refers to the function main, but i don't understand the use of the global keyword... thank you in advance... global main basically means that the symbol should be visible to the linker because other object files will use

I am trying to add my own error handling to the JavaScript setTimeout function. The following code works fine in chrome: var oldSetTimeout = window.setTimeout; window.setTimeout = function setTimeout(func, delay) { var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0); args[0] = function timeoutFunction() { var timeoutArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0); try { func.apply(this,timeoutArgs); } catch (exception) { //Do Error Handling } } return oldSetTimeout.apply(this, args); } But in IE7 it turns into a recursive function. For some reason oldSetTimeout gets set to the new function.

Installing some npm packages globally is evil sometimes. I don't want to install jasmine like that: npm install -g jasmine How can I install and use jasmine without -g attribute? 1) You need to init an npm project. On the 5-th step of the wizard (question test command: ) input jasmine npm init 1b) If you init npm project before, make sure you have these lines in your package.json "scripts": { "test": "jasmine" }, 2) Install jasmine as a local dependency npm i --save-dev jasmine 3) To init jasmine (alternative for global jasmine init ) npm test init 4) To create example tests (alternative for

I am very new to typescript. Whatever typings I try to install, I get: typings ERR! message Attempted to compile "angular" as an external module, but it looks like a global module. I am just trying to do typings install dt~angular What am I doing wrong? Update: If you are coming here with little knowledge (as I was when writing this question) - consider using npm/@types. More info and discussion . As error message suggests, you should use --global option: typings install dt~angular --global --save See detailed step-by-step tutorial for setting up Node.js project with TypeScript support in

Quick and simple question. I kind of understand what the Namespace Alias qualifier does, it's for accessing members in a namespace, however so does the dereferencing operator. I am really baffled as to the difference in this situation, why you would use one over the other, or how they each accomplish the same thing. using colAlias = System.Collections; namespace myns { class TestApp { static void Main() { colAlias.Hashtable test = new colAlias.Hashtable(); colAlias::Hashtable test1 = new colAlias::Hashtable(); } } } This is a corner case :: (like the @ prefix) is there to deal with the fairly
