From your code it appears, that you want to allow the following formats: yyyy,mm,dd yy,mm,dd -> 20yy,mm,dd yyyy,m,d-> yyyy,0m,0d You either allow only strict format or face the consequences...

Can you isolate the problem in a code that can be run on its own? I think using global statement in python is unfortunate. 99% of the cases, it is bad design. Most basic books on programming suggest the same and not only in python.

If your php file is pure html and javascript, then theoretically you can include it into the template you are using in python. How you do that, depends on the templating system, you are using. Since you are not asking of a specific templating system (mako, genshi, cheetah..), you are …

I think you should post your question to the psp support forum. If any.

All I can propose, that you use a database. The ordered dictionary is only usable, if you know the queries beforehand or you have hardly any data. I have made, a diagram about, how I understand your data structure, but Dia crashed and I have lost it. If you are …

Do not use "is", unless you really mean object identity, which you obviously don't. Use: system == 'Conferences' community == 'Arts' I do not know what in communities is. If it is a list, then a copy of a list will never be equal or identical with a string literal. …

Most pygame tutorial give you an implementation of simple bouncing. An ideal round ball hits on an ideal straight wall without spinning and losing energy.

I recommend reading the documentation. Anyway: str.replace("\\",'/')

Something like this? [CODE=python] gpsstring='''the string you have just mentioned''' gpgaline=None gprmcline=None for line in gpsstring: if line.startswith('$GPGGA,'): gpgaline=line [/CODE]

Instead of: subject = subjects[0][1] Try: subject.append(subjects[0][1])

Hello Dmc! First, there are bugs and small mistakes in your code. mazefile.close is not a function call, so it does not close the file. It makes no problem because the file is automatically closed at python exit. Correctly: mazefile.close() You do not initialize the x variable in start function. …

Hello Democles! Where is your sword? ;) Or was that Damocles? I think it is a difficult question, how someone learns a programming language. I (and the Somerville book) would say, there are two main phases of the process. First you have to build the necessary mindset. This includes understanding …

What is the expected output for sings? The empty string? If you remove s,ing and s from the word in that order, the empty string remains... If that is so.... I would make a stem_word function, that would look like: [CODE] def stem_word(word): word_new=None for e in endings: if word.endswith(e): …

I would look up the wget manual. If that does not help, you can peek into the file, extract the date from it, and put the file wherever you want.

You can use the observer pattern.

Could not reproduce it on python 2.6.2 linux either. Maybe you have run the pyc version, which was older.

Your description is incorrect. This function will never return 'radar' on any string input, because it needs another parameter. Your loop does not exit. You increment num, but the loop's exit expression does not depend on it. It possibly exits on index error if num becomes too large. At first …

We do not make private attributes in python, except in very rare cases. You can shadow the attribute access with "property" decorator later.

This is not a python issue. However... This oracle error comes out, when in some expression an implicit or explicit conversion fails on some line and field value. Most likely your [code]:DATAI[/code] and [code]:DATAF[/code] bind variables are not in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'

A classic error in python3. You are concatenating a byte array (rawdata) to a string(data). Try converting the data to bytes with encoding or do not convert it to string. Try googling the error code to get the notion.

I would read in the first csv into a dictionary with title- url key-value pairs. Then go through the second large one line by line, and append the looked up values, and write it to a new file. The code goes something like this (not tested): [code=python] import csv urlReader …

First of all, I don't know what the code does. From a merely technical point of view, I say the followings. I think you should improve the code before improving the speed. The majority of the code seems to be copy-pasted. All the "cases" can possibly merged into one codeblock …
