PyScripter and most Python IDEs redirect sys.stdout.  Also GUI apps like PyScripter have no standard output.  What you need to do is PyObject *f = PySys_Getobject("stdout") and then use PyFile_WriteString for writing to the sys.stdout. This is what Python itself is doing and I think this is the best way

This is something I always forget how to do, and it's kind of hard to Google or search the Python docs because you can't search for **.The point is, when using **kwargs, you have to use the ** prefix not only in the function definition, but also in the call, prefixed to the variable you want to use as a keyword dictionary.

There are two applications that require using the NumPy array type in C extension modules: Access to numerical libraries: Extension modules can be used to make numerical libraries written in C (or languages linkable to C, such as Fortran) accessible to Python programs. The NumPy array type has the advantage of using the same data layout as arrays in C and Fortran. Mixed-language numerical code: In most numerical applications, only a small part of the total code is CPU time intensive. Only this part should thus be written in C, the rest can be written in Python. NumPy arrays are important for the interface between these two parts, because they provide equally simple access to their contents from Python and from C. This document is a tutorial for using NumPy arrays in C extensions.

Various Web surfing tasks that I regularly perform could be made much easier, and less tedious, if I could only use Python to fetch the HTML pages and to process them, yielding the information I really need. In this document I attempt to describe HTML processing in Python using readily available tools and libraries.

This article discusses general concepts of functional programming, and illustrates ways of implementing functional techniques in Python. We'd better start with the hardest question: "What is functional programming (FP), anyway?" One answer would be to say that FP is what you do when you program in languages like Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, ML, OCAML, Clean, Mercury, or Erlang (or a few others). That is a safe answer, but not one that clarifies very much. Unfortunately, it is hard to get a consistent opinion on just what FP is, even from functional programmers themselves. A story about elephants and blind men seems apropos here. It is also safe to contrast FP with "imperative programming" (what you do in languages like C, Pascal, C++, Java, Perl, Awk, TCL, and most others, at least for the most part).

If I have:     from sympy import Symbol, Integrate     x = Symbol('x')     f = x**2 + x     g = Integrate(f, x) how can I apply g to a numpy array? In other words, how can I "numpify" the g expression, injecting in it x = numpy.linspace(1, 9, 9)? What would be even nicer would be to be able to retrieve a lambda using numpy functions for g as a function of x (that way I don't have the overhead of numpifying it each time I want to apply it to an array).

I hope this article encourages you to think about your command line programs in a different light, and to treat them as first class objects. Using inheritance to share code is so common in other areas of development that it is hardly given a second thought in most cases. As has been shown with the SQLiteAppBase programs, the same technique can be just as powerful when applied to building command line programs, saving development time and testing effort as a result. CommandLineApp has been used as the foundation for dozens of types of programs, and could be just what you need the next time you have to write a new command line program.

Pycha is a very simple Python package for drawing charts using the great Cairo library. Its goals are: Lightweight Simple to use Nice looking with default values Customization It won't try to draw any possible chart on earth but draw the most common ones nicely. There are some other options you may want to look at like pyCairoChart Pycha is based on Plotr which is based on PlotKit. Both libraries are written in JavaScript and are great for client web programming. I needed the same for the server side so that's the reason I ported Plotr to Python. Now we can deliver charts to people with JavaScript disabled or embed them in PDF reports.

SendKeys SendKeys(keys, pause = 0.05, with_spaces = False, with_tabs = False, with_newlines = False, turn_off_numlock = True) Parameters keys : str A string of keys. pause : float The number of seconds to wait between sending each key or key combination. with_spaces : bool Whether to treat spaces as {SPACE}. If False, spaces are ignored. with_tabs : bool Whether to treat tabs as {TAB}. If False, tabs are ignored. with_newlines : bool Whether to treat newlines as {ENTER}. If False, newlines are ignored. turn_off_numlock : bool Whether to turn off NUMLOCK before sending keys.

Following my thoughts yesterday, here are some VIM python scripts to add python breakpoint and debugging features to VIM. With this set up the F7 key will set a breakpoint on a line of code, Shift-F7 will remove all breakpoints and Shift-F12 will execute a script in the python debugger. This only runs on windows as far as I know, because it uses the 'start' command to launch the debugger in a seperate process without VIM waiting for it to finish. This allows you to look through the source code (and fix it) while the debugging is still in progress.
