Applying a patch from a diff in python (if possible)

2012-05-24T03:24:10Z

Hi,
I'm trying to synch up two databases that are very far from each other
using diff and patch. Currently, what happens is a mysqldump on
database A (which is linux) which is sent over to database B and over
time the diff of this mysql is sent over to database B. The database B
lives on a NAS server without any linux machines available (all of

Python Book for a C Programmer?

2012-05-23T23:45:05Z

I am trying to join an online class that uses python. I need to brush up on the language quickly. Is there a good book or resource that covers it well but does not have to explain what an if..then..else statement is?

Thanks.

problem loading matlab data with ompc and python

2012-05-23T21:10:19Z

Hi, we're investigating transitioning our company from matlab to python. We found OMPC as a MATLAB m-file-to Python translator, but we're encountering a problem using the translated code to import MATLAB data structures into Python. For example, when we save data within MATLAB this way:

x.a = 5;

PyDev IPython Confusion

2012-05-23T20:06:40Z

I have two versions of Python and Ipython; Python 2.6.6 with Ipython
0.11 and Python 2.7.3 with Ipython 0.12. When I run the Eclipse PyDev
console for the Python 2.7.3 it says it is using Ipython 0.11 as the
interpreter. Ipython 0.11 should not be in the Path for Python 2.7.3.
Is this a bug in Ipython 0.12? Is there a command to check the Ipython

Re: escaping/encoding/formatting in python

2012-05-23T18:19:55Z

Early attempts at UNIX word processing, "nroff" and "troff",
suffered from that problem, due to a badly designed macro system.

A question in language design is whether to escape or quote.
Do you write

"X = %d" % (n,))

"X = " + str(n)

In general, for anything but output formatting, the second scales

A better contextlib.contextmanager

2012-05-23T06:21:35Z

Python 3.2 enhanced contextlib.contextmanager so that it is possible to
use a context manager as a decorator. For instance, given the
contextmanager factory below

@contextmanager
def before_after():
print(before)
yield
print(after)

it is possibile to use it to generate decorators:

I've used probably a dozen different ones. I've read about some
people having odd problems with them, but I've never seen any of the
those problems. They've all "just worked" for me.

Re: serial module

The fact that it shows up as /dev/tty<something> means that the driver
registered the port as a tty (serial) device.

I've used a log of USB connected serial devices, and they all worked
fine. Some show up as /dev/ttyUSBn and some as /dev/ttyACMn, but the
standard tty APIs all worked fine. What sorts of vartiations have you

Re: serial module

2012-05-22T21:24:08Z

There are. See "[link]". Because there's
no standard USB class for such devices, the specific vendor ID/product
ID pair has to be known to the OS. In Linux, there's a file of these,
but not all USB to serial adapters are in it. In Windows, there
tends to be a vendor-provided driver for each brand of USB to
