Python Programming

PyACTS- http://www.pyacts.org -- PyACTS is a collection of Python Modules that are very useful to Parallel Computing in a High Performance Computing environment. This packages incorporates several modules like PyBLACS (allows communication data for Linear Algebra), PyPBLAS (distributed Matrix Operations) and PyScaLAPACK (solve linear systems and get the eigenvalue problems). These libraries are part of PyACTS project that provide interfaces to the ACTS Collection. Also is provided a parrallel interpreter for using this package that implements message-based parallel programming using MPI.

Louie provides Python programmers with a straightforward way to dispatch signals between objects in a wide variety of contexts. It is based on PyDispatcher, which in turn was based on a highly-rated recipe in the Python Cookbook. Louie is licensed under The BSD License.

General and Advanced Pure and Applied Mathematics Use SAGE for studying a huge range of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and exact linear algebra.

SendKeys is a Python module for Windows (R) which can be used to send one or more keystrokes or keystroke combinations to the active window. SendKeys exports 1 function, SendKeys, and 1 exception, KeySe

Speech Recognition may be possible with COM. I found an example of how its done in Python.

Looks like foom is busy. Anyway, here is the verbatim translation of the script foom linked. I can't test it myself as no mike is installed on my machine. If you hear "Starting Succeeded", then, try to say one/two/three. NEED CoHelper.ahk.

### def reverse(l): return reduce(lambda x, y: [y] + x, [[]] + l) ###

One of my recent research tasks required me to retrieve various information from del.icio.us, a well-known social bookmarking service. My programming language of choice is Python, and so I wrote a basic Python module for getting the data I needed.

Re: Kill process based on window name (win32) Thank you Roger. Your advice did the trick. For anyone interested, the basic code to terminate a process (politely) would be something like this (hwnd is retrieved using win32gui.EnumerateWindows): # Get the window's process id's t, p = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd) # Ask window nicely to close win32gui.PostMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_CLOSE, 0, 0) # Allow some time for app to close time.sleep(10) # If app didn't close, force close try: handle = win32api.OpenProcess(win32con.PROCESS_TERMINATE, 0, p) if handle: win32api.TerminateProcess(handle,0) win32api.CloseHandle(handle) except: pass:
