I tried your code, and apparently it works: the decimal points are aligned. Can you post your output ? Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> num1 = 127.899 >>> num2 = 3456.148 >>> num3 = …

There are python modules to read xls files (such as xlrd). However in your case, it may be easier to convert the file to csv on the command line: if you have Libreoffice installed on your computer, you can use soffice --headless --convert-to csv data.xls in a terminal to convert data.xls …

I suggest using pandas dataframes and their methods for statistics # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import pandas as pd df = pd.read_table( 'data.csv', sep=',', header=0, parse_dates = [0] ) print(df) m = df.mean() print(type(m)) print(m) print float(m['Irradiance']) """ my output --> 0 2014-07-21 00:00:00 0.66 1 2014-07-21 00:00:00 0.71 2 …

Install [humanfriendly](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/humanfriendly) from pypi (`pip install humanfriendly`), then from datetime import datetime from humanfriendly import parse_date s = raw_input('From datetime: ') dt = datetime(*parse_date(s)) print(dt)

Your code is very difficult to understand. I think you can do a lot with a single regular expression, like in this example # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ Created on Fri Jul 25 19:23:53 2014 python 2 or 3 @author: Gribouillis """ import re pattern = re.compile( r"^(?P<prefix>(?:[^_.]|_(?!p))+)" r"_p(?P<type>(?:[^_.]|_(?!b))+)" …

Use time_format = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M' try: datetime_obj = datetime.strptime(time_string, time_format) except ValueError: print("STRING: ", repr(time_string), "FORMAT: ", repr(time_format)) raise and post the output.

The csv module has a concept of *dialect*. For example in the data shown above, I don't see separating commas or quoting characters. See for [example here](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/threads/443909/learning-re-module#post1912119) how one can use a dialect to read a csv file. Can you attach a short csv file to a post ? (perhaps …

This snippet defines a function [icode]mousepos()[/icode] which gets the mouse position on the screen. The package python-xlib is required.

Did you try oldwd = os.getcwd() os.chdir('C:/Users/UserName/Documents') try: zipdir('Folder_to_be_zipped', zipf) finally: os.chdir(oldwd) ?

Here is a [tkinter example](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/code/216830/tkinter-keypress-event-python) by vegaseat.

Did you check the type of `line` ? it seems to me that is a `str` (which means unicode in python 3). Again you are mixing bytes and str implicitly (`tag in line.lower()`). Use explicit conversions to control the types.

Try import eyeD3 To answer your second question, create for example a directory with $ mkdir ~/pymods in a terminal, then add the following lines to the file `~/.bashrc`, and restart the terminal PYTHONPATH="$HOME/pymods:$PYTHONPATH" export PYTHONPATH Now every python file added to the directory `~/pymods` becomes importable from anywhere (under …

I think `logging.info()` should be `logger.info()`.

One part of the question is why would we need an OS written in python ? My advice is: go linux !

As sepp2k said, create MyTime instances `t1 = MyTime(9, 59, 59)`, etc.

Here is a short explanation about variable visibility varA = "foo" # a global variable class Bar: # Bar is another global variable varB = "baz" # a class variable def method(self, arg): # self and arg are local variables varC = "qux" # a local variable self.name = "aname" …

The main concern is about encoding. If you know the file's encoding, you can open it with `codecs.open()` and read the file as a unicode stream. I never used a hindi file, so that you must figure out the encoding yourself. Once you have the correct unicode stream, the rest …

Independantly from writing the code, you must first define your classification criterion: how will you decide if a file belongs to 'name' or 'english', or 'entertainment' ?

It seems to me that `urlretrieve()` answers your question. For ftp, the example at the top of the `ftplib` module's documentation shows how to download a file named README. Also a search for `ftp` on pypi may reveal promising modules such as `ftptool` and others.

First note that due to [operator precedence](https://docs.python.org/3.3/reference/expressions.html#operator-precedence) the expression A or B in C is the same thing as A or (B in C) In particular if A is a non empty bytes such as `b'artist='`, the value of the whole expression is `A`, which evaluates as `True` in a boolean …

It is not true that `file`is a reserved word in python. `file` is the name of a standard type in python **2**. Using file as a variable name in python 2 is like using list as a variable name. It is not an error, but it could be annoying to …

> In what way is the use of Parameters similar/different to Variables? Same thing? The correct python concept is the *namespace*. At any given moment in the execution of python code, a certain number of *names* are defined in the current namespace. There is no difference between parameters and variables …

Why not use a decorator ? #!/usr/bin/env python # -*-coding: utf8-*- from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals) __doc__ = '''adding attributes to a function ''' def menu_config(**attrs): def decorator(func): func.menu_attrs = attrs return func return decorator @menu_config(Name = 'Test Menu', Default = True) def test(): print('foo') if __name__ == …

Apparently, the whole code depends on 2 values, `fileFull` and `fileAbriv`. So you can write a function def func(fileFull, fileAbriv): etc However, this code, with lines repeated with different variable name case is not good. There must be some other way to write your code. Read about the [DRY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself) principle. …

You're getting the error because `char` is of type `bytes`, and `char[counter]` is an integer. Also you initiliazed newchar as a `str`. At line 15, you can't add a str and an int. You could write newchar = b'' # initialize as bytes counter = 0 while counter < 30 …

Today is 70th anniversary of D-Day in France, with 20 heads of state, including Queen Elizabeth and Barack Obama !

First thing to do is to print the structure to see what it contains. I found a pretty printer [here](http://alexleone.blogspot.fr/2010/01/python-ast-pretty-printer.html) #!/usr/bin/env python # -*-coding: utf8-*- from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals) __doc__ = ''' ''' import ast from astpp import dump source = """ def foo(n): p = 1 …

Add print(repr(word)) print(list) immediately before line 19 and post the output here. Also 'list' and 'dict' are so common words in python that nobody uses them for variables.

The most famous place in France is the Eiffel tower (almost 7 million visitors a year), but it's not a place I would recommend. Start with the south of France. Edit: I forgot the Louvre museum with almost 10 million visitors/year. The atmosphere is that of a railway station with paintings …

I'm not an expert but I think `geometry()` applies to top level windows only. You may want to call OedipusFrame.winfo_toplevel().geometry(("%dx%d+0+0")%(OFWidth,OFHeight)) See also [here](http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/geometry.html).

Here are the [answers](http://bit.ly/1tum6qo).

You can perhaps add the condition that there is no uppercase letter before the first 3 ones or after the 3 last ones.

Python only wraps the lower level system functions which open a file to create a file descriptor or a pointer to file, and the corresponding read or write functions. So, for example you could ask in the C forum if `fopen()` with mode `'w'` physically overwrites existing contents on the …

I think you must decode the crypted text contained in the html source page.

`Plot` is deprecated (`pydoc sympy.Plot`). Use `plot` with small p instead.

I see 2 tools which could give you more detail: 1. You can use `sys.settrace()` to define your own trace function and count the number of calls in each line (there is some programming effort to get something here). 2. You can use `f.f_lasti` on the calling frame to get …

It is very nice. I see 2 directions onwards: 1. Add interaction with the user to get the coefficients (raw_input, etc). 2. Use the fractions module from standard lib to work with exact rational coefficients.

The simplest way is import easygui word = easygui.passwordbox() You can then browse the easygui source code to learn how to make a passwordbox :) and remove the buttons if you want to.

Your explanation is unclear. I don't think there is an issue. For example if the first file contains args = parser.parse_args() you can later call `foo(args)` and it doesn't matter if function `foo()` was defined in the first or the second script.

The best thing to do is to add `print(args)` to your script and test it in a console with commands such as $ python filename.py -h $ python filename.py -b /home/foobar I would add a long name such as `'--basepath'` to the `'-b'` option and use `BASEPATH` as metavar. Also …

This snippet implements a pointed set, that is to say an ordinary set of elements with a distinguished element called the basepoint of the set. For example the seven days of the week could be stored in a pointed set, the basepoint being monday because today is monday. It is …

May I suggest that you install [locate32](http://www.windows8downloads.com/software-search.html?keywords=locate32&Search=) to find your files in win 8 ?

My father in law bought an asus which broke down rapidly. On the other hand, I had one which worked very well during almost 10 years. I bought 3 acer aspire laptops for 500/700 euros in the last 2 years, and they do their job. The first thing I do is …

You can use cnt = sum(1 for line in open("foo.csv"))

I would go with BeautifulSoup as it produces short code, for example # -*-coding: utf8-*- from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals) from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup def main(): filename = 'input.xml' soup = BeautifulSoup(open(filename).read()) for channel in soup.findAll('channel'): cid = channel['id'] # or dict(channel.attrs)['id'] for prog in channel.findAll('programme'): for title …
