This is a script that was supposed to be very basic, just running a command with my scripts arguments attached. I didn't realize that if user 'cj' opens firefox, when user 'root' does '**firefox -new-tab**' it doesn't work. Firefox will just open a new window, and thats exactly what I …

Hi all! This is a simple piece of code that I wrote about a year ago, in response to a question on Daniweb. I decided to infuse it with some C++11 magic, which led to a pretty sweet code snippet, full of neat little techniques you might want to use, …

Because of [C++ code snippets not dealing with multiple +-](http://www.daniweb.com/posts/jump/1829367) in sequence (or even negative number) in expressions, I post this, as it is so much easier for me than C/C++.

This is bit funny code as you can first read from this excellent response: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/threads/427341/custom-types-in-a-simple-way#post1828718 why should you not use it, even it maybe feels useful. Anyway I got curious to see how type signature could be implemented, even using it would generally just be stupid way of slowing down …

The `ReplaceStrings` function replaces all strings in `APatterns` found in `ASubject` with the value in `AReplacement`. As an example, I added the `RemoveStrings` function which replaces everthing with an empty string, thus deleting all strings found. Usage examples are in the XMLDoc comments. A good test will be to rewrite …

Here you see how one could use recursion together with generators for (inefficient) permutations generator. It is kind of interesting to know how one can do it recursively (of course there exist many ways).

I googled little around for correct way to not reinventing of the wheel for expression evaluation (even I had done some simple evaluation check for my [Tkinter calculator snippet](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/code/282548/simple-calculator) earlier). After getting totally upset with [this example](http://www.bestcode.com/html/evaluate_math_expressions_pyth.html), I made this with some struggles with `__builtins__` globals parameter of eval.
