Re: [BangPypers] First python interview

2013-10-14 Thread Vinayak Hegde 
Since you are already somewhat comfortable with python. I suggest the
following depending on how much time you have.

1. Learn Python the hard way
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/
Work your way through the book as much as possible

2. Project Euler
http://projecteuler.net/
Implement some of the problems here to get a good hang of things

3. Python Module of the week
If you do some half-decent work with python you will be using a lot of
libraries.
Start with this pdf http://pymotw.com/2/PyMOTW-1.132.pdf to get an overview
of some of the modules. Also python documentation is quite extensive.

As for Django, The documentation is decent (just check the version you are
working on). I have read good review of two scoop of Django but not read it
myself.

 Hi guys,

 I am going in for my first python interview. I have never actively worked
 in python(java programmer) but am comfortable with it to some extent(used
 it for competing at code chef).

 I am sure all you python gurus probably would have interviewed people for
 python and many of you would have given lots of interviews for Python.

 I could really use some tips on what exactly should I really be focusing on
 while studying for it and what should I expect.

 A little about the process up till now-
 They sent me a problem to solve(the usual code jam type problem, but toned
 down in difficulty) which i was able to do correctly.

 Now i have  telephonic interview.

 They basically require people strong in python and knowledge of django is a
 plus.

 I have 2 days to prepare for it.
 Thanks.

 Hello guys,
 Im making my own login module in flask, and Im now facing this problem

Aftera user signout (by setting the session[logged_in] =False or even
 doing session.clear() ) ,if i press the back button on the browser, i still
 can see my homepage(which is suppose to be seen only when logged in). There
 are a few constraints while dealing with this problem, first being i do not
 want to totally disablebrowser caching as i believe it is important for
 efficiency of the website ,
 and second being i cannot use other extensions like flask-login etc, as im
 trying to make it on my own.
 How do i resolve this problem within the constraints ?


Sometimes I have seen that the browser caches the rendered page and does
not refresh the page. For example I have seen this behavior in FF. I go to
ESPNcricinfo and click on an article and read it and go back, the page
rendered does not have the score refreshed. This same behavior is exhibited
when you press CTRL+SHIFT+T to reopen closed tabs. The rendered page is
loaded as well as the history of the tab.

Do you see this behavior with Flask-login as well ? And what browser are
you using to test ? I have seen some sites try to disable the back-button
but that might not be an elegant way to do this. Another approach could be
see if you can play with the HTTP Cache-control headers to see if they make
a difference.

  Wrong choice. When a software exists which is the perhaps the most

 I am talking about gnuplot here.

 The commands are pretty intuitive. It gives you an interactive
 prompt, like python. For example, here is how to plot
 a curve for the function (3*x*x - 8*x) over x range of -50:50
 and y-range of -10:100

 gnuplot plot [-30:30] [-10:500] (3*x*x - 8*x)

 You can also do 3-d plots.
 Here is the 3d plot of a complex function in 2d plane.

 gnuplot splot [-30:30] [-10:500] (3*x*x - 8*x + y*y)

 Has any one in here implemented this sort of a program ? Which library did
 you use ? if possible could you explain why you chose the particular
 library.


  Gnuplot is its own programming language, but if you want a Python
  interface, try gnuplot.py.

 Hi all,

 This is an off-topic.

 Would somebody please pass some suggestions on how we can write some e-book,
 technical in nature. I'm planning to write one book on telecom network
 domain . My main motive is to learn some more solid things while writing
 this book. So i was just thinking there is any good way by which we write
 this and publish as pdfs in the internet. I was curious how our free python
 tutorials being written, like 'A byte of python' , ThinkCSPY etc.

As other have suggested - Latex would be ideal. It is also possible to
write using a wiki. There are some plugins for mediawiki which can
help you convert to PDF but the output would not be as good as Latex.

[BangPypers] Query generation engine/library

2010-03-09 Thread Vinayak Hegde 
unlurk from lurking mode

I am looking for a a way to generate optimised queries in SQL (or
SQL-like languages like Hadoop Pig) by chaining clauses such as where,
group by, order by etc based on a set of (optimising) rules. Is there
any such library in python which would let me do that. Example
approach would be create a query object and then use some inbuilt
method to generate the actual query before executing it.

I will probably have to change whatever alternatives are so a good
starting point would be helpful.

There are several good forums such as artima, stackoverflow and

the medium.

I think you would be taken more seriously if you don't spew random

 Is the adventures of a Pythonista... the same as was published a while
 ago as a series of blog entries?

Yes. It has the content of 30 something blog entries. A PDF is easier
to read than individual pages so I linked to it. I think there are
more blog enrteies coming so the pdf will be updated as well.

Anyone can attend a meeting. I think there is one scheduled this
weekend. When starting a new thread don't do reply all to the list or
digest but start a fresh email thread in your client. That will make
it easier for people to answer you rather than getting flamed.

 To give you an idea of what kind of a thing I want to do , I am attaching my
 java client code below.

 import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

 public class myClient {
 private static EndpointReference targetEPR =
 new
 EndpointReference(http://localhost:8070/axis2/services/annotationScript/deduct;);
 //http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/annotationScript/f

 public static OMElement getPayload() throws XMLStreamException {

 String str2 =

 String str3 =  addvar11.8/var1var24.87594/var2/add;
 StAXOMBuilder builder = new StAXOMBuilder(new
 ByteArrayInputStream(str2.getBytes()));
 return builder.getDocumentElement();
 }

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 ServiceClient sender = new ServiceClient();
 Options op = new Options();
 op.setTo(targetEPR);
 sender.setOptions(op);
 OMElement response = sender.sendReceive(getPayload());
 System.out.println(response);
 }
 }

Dive into python has a good tutorial on webservices using python.
http://www.diveintopython.org/soap_web_services/

The rest of the book is pretty readable as well.
