documentation

I have failed to find documentation for the operator % as it is used on strings in Python. What does this operator do when it is used with a string on the left hand side? Konrad Rudolph It's the string formatting operator. Read up on string formatting in Python . format % values Creates a string where format specifies a format and values are the values to be filled in. It applies printf-like formatting to a string, so that you can substitute certain parts of a string with values of variables. Example # assuming numFiles is an int variable print "Found %d files" % (numFiles, ) See the link

Where can I find Documentation on running Javascript inside a PDF? I've never added a javascript action inside a pdf. However, I've done quite a bit of web development using javascript. I have a few questions to whoever has any familiarity with javascript inside a PDF. NitroPDF and Adobe Acrobat definitely support javascript in PDFs. Is there a standard on various objects that exist and functions to manipulate a pdf via javascript? Everything I've found so far has been from Adobe. Anywhere else seems to reference Adobe's docs. Is there a standard out there, or is Adobe just the "de Facto"

Is there a web site or project documenting private APIs for the iPhone SDK? nst here are searchable archives from iPhone OS 2.2.1 to iOS 9.2 https://github.com/nst/iOS-Runtime-Headers Most likely. Just use the command line application class-dump to view the private headers. Note that your app will be rejected from the App Store for linking to private frameworks if you link at compile. It is easy enough to see that you are linking the private frameworks by running otool on your binary if linked at compile. These are the compilable headers generated by class-dump-z , a iOS class dumper: http:/

I have a colleague who insists that his code doesn't need comments, it's "self documenting." I've reviewed his code, and while it's clearer than code which I've seen others produce, I still disagree that self-documenting code is as complete and useful as well commented and documented code. Help me understand his point of view. What is self documenting code Can it really replace well commented and documented code Are there situations where it's better than well documented and commented code Are there examples where code cannot possibly be self-documenting without comments Maybe it's just my own

I have a module that goes something like this: #!/usr/bin/env python #: Documentation here. #: blah blah blah foobar = r'Some really long regex here.' def myfunc(val=foobar): '''Blah blah blah''' pass ...and I have a .rst file that goes something like this: :mod:`my_module` Module ----------------------- ..automodule:: my_module :members: :private-members: :show-inheritance: When I build the documentation, I get an html file with a snippet that goes like this: mymodule.foobar. foobar = 'Some absurdly long and ugly regex here' Extra documentation here mymodule. myfunc ( val='Some absurdly long
