I'm trying to find out what is eating some KeyboardInterrupt exceptions in a fairly large program (yum). My KeyboardInterrupt handler is called for some Ctl-C presses, but for others nothing seems to happen. Grepping the source (what of it I've found, looking at import statements) doesn't tur

How to keep Pydoc from listing too much?

How can I tell Pydoc not to list information for some of the base classes? For example, when a class inherits from gtk.Widget, lots of GTK stuff gets added that doesn't really need to be there. Is there some option to Pydoc to tell it to skip some classes? Is there something I can put in my

I'd like to have a fast way to validate large amounts of string data as being UTF-8. I don't see a fast way to do it in Python, though: unicode(s,'utf-8').encode('utf-8) seems to notice at least some of the time (the unicode() part works but the encode() part bombs). I don't consider a RE
