Comment on Extending PostgreSQL with Python by Wilo

any idea what performance is like with this? Tcl regex syntax is a bit of a pain-in-the-arse if you’re used to PCRE. I’m hoping to expose an interface on the web for regex querying against a PostgreSQL database, and I would rather let users use PCRE-style regexs.

Comment on Algorithms in Python: Base Expansion by Alexander Wallar

from math import *
def baseExpansion(n,c,b):
….j = 0
….base10 = sum([pow(c,len(n)-k-1)*n[k] for k in range(0,len(n))])
….while floor(base10/pow(b,j)) != 0: j = j+1
…..return [floor(base10/pow(b,j-p)) % b for p in range(1,j+1)]

This algorithm although it might be a bit longer, runs without bounds on integer bases. The input is a list and so is the output as to accommodate for larger bases.

I am not able to install properly gnuplot under Mac OS X 10.6.
Even if I choose installed formats, like svg or postscript, I cannot visualize anything.
In svg case, X11 is opened but no file is generated.

Could you help me?

Thank you very much,
michele.

This seems like it would apply to any settings that are a tuple, such as TEMPLATE_LOADERS, MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, etc..

eval(“0b%s” % bin_a)
should be written as
int(bin_a, 2)

Great work – embedding Labjack hardware control via Python in FuzzyPy allows to go SCADA…
A full fledged manual however would be appreciated for beginners…
