python-2.6

I'm trying to upgrade a portion of Python 2.6 code to Python 2.7. This code uses the json module to produce some JavaScript (not JSON-compliant), which is then inserted into the rest of a script. The general idea is to be able to insert code or refer to variables that are defined elsewhere: it's not intended to be used as JSON data, but JavaScript code. Here is the custom encoder that works in Python 2.6: import json class RawJavaScriptText: def __init__(self, jstext): self._jstext = jstext def get_jstext(self): return self._jstext class RawJsJSONEncoder(json.JSONEncoder): def _iterencode

When trying to run a python script, I get the error AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pydebug' . I am using Python 2.6. Full error: File "/lib/python2.6/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 238, in get_makefile_filename return os.path.join(lib_dir, "config" + (sys.pydebug and "_d" or ""), "Makefile") AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pydebug' I think whatever you are trying to run is expecting to be used with a special debug build of python. sys.pydebug is not normally found on the standard release of the sys module, and I believe it would be there if you built a debug

I have a naive "parser" that simply does something like: [x.split('=') for x in mystring.split(',')] However mystring can be something like 'foo=bar,breakfast=spam,eggs' Obviously, The naive splitter will just not do it. I am limited to Python 2.6 standard library for this, So for example pyparsing can not be used. Expected output is [('foo', 'bar'), ('breakfast', 'spam,eggs')] I'm trying to do this with regex, but am facing the following problems: My First attempt r'([a-z_]+)=(.+),?' Gave me [('foo', 'bar,breakfast=spam,eggs')] Obviously, Making .+ non-greedy does not solve the problem. So, I

Is there a way to terminate a process started with the subprocess.Popen class with the "shell" argument set to "True"? In the working minimal example below (uses wxPython) you can open and terminate a Notepad process happily, however if you change the Popen "shell" argument to "True" then the Notepad process doesn't terminate. import wx import threading import subprocess class MainWindow(wx.Frame): def __init__(self, parent, id, title): wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title) self.main_panel = wx.Panel(self, -1) self.border_sizer = wx.BoxSizer() self.process_button = wx.Button(self.main

My Python List of string is something like x but long enough: x = ['aaa','ab','aa','c','a','b','ba'] I wants to sort this list as: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'aa', 'ab', 'ba', 'aaa'] and I did as follows in two steps: >>> x.sort() >>> x.sort(key=len) >>> x ['a', 'b', 'c', 'aa', 'ab', 'ba', 'aaa'] But I need in one-step: I also tied using lambda function ( taken help ): >>> x.sort(key=lambda item: (item, len(item))) >>> x ['a', 'aa', 'aaa', 'ab', 'b', 'ba', 'c'] But not as I desired: Is it possible in one-step? Please me. My Python: ~$ python --version Python 2.6.6 Gareth Latty You got the order of the

I need to install mysql-python under python2.6. mysql-python package needs python2.6-devel package that depends on the libpython2.6.so.1.0(64bit) I found on the net some python2.6-devel packages, but can't find libpython2.6 Server architecture is x86_64. Maybe someone have this lib, or know where i can find it. Thanks for help) I have the same issue and this wonderful link solved it for me... http://blog.milford.io/2010/08/new-method-for-installing-python-2-6-4-with-mysql-python-on-centos-5-5/ I followed some of the steps out of order because I was a little antsy and got some interesting error

Is there a built-in sorted dictionary implementation in Python 2.6, or are hashtables the only kind? Clarifications: I'm asking about sorted dictionarys, not ordered dictionaries! James Hurford I think the answer here is no. There is a Treemap but it isn't in the python standard library. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/treemap/ I think to those who don't like my answer, may think it's wrong due to a recent update. Please note this is for Python 2.6, not 2.7 or Python 3 Please add the correct answer if you still think it's wrong, or unhelpful, or at least give a reason why you think it's a bad

Can someone please specify what is the difference between os.path.getmtime(path) and os.path.getctime(path) in unix systems . As per the defnition in python docs: os.path.getmtime(path) Return the time of last modification of path. The return value is a number giving the number of seconds since the epoch (see the time module). Raise os.error if the file does not exist or is inaccessible. os.path.getctime(path) Return the system’s ctime which, on some systems (like Unix) is the time of the last change, and, on others (like Windows), is the creation time for path. The return value is a number
