The easiest solution is probably using lxml, where you can set a parser option to ignore white space between elements: >>> from lxml import etree >>> parser = etree.XMLParser(remove_blank_text=True) >>> xml_str=””‘<root> >>> <head></head> >>> <content></content> >>> </root>”’ >>> elem = etree.XML(xml_str, parser=parser) >>> print etree.tostring(elem) <root><head/><content/></root> This will probably be enough for your needs, but … Read more
The feature to run the __main__ module of a package when using the command line -m option was introduced in Python 2.7. For 2.6 you need to specify the package module name to run; -m test.__main__ should work. See the documentation here.
I had the same issue, I managed to install it after installing the package libxslt-devel and python-devel which seems to be your problem: yum install libxslt-devel python-devel python setup.py install Installed /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lxml-2.2.8-py2.6-linux-i686.egg Processing dependencies for lxml==2.2.8 Finished processing dependencies for lxml==2.2.8 However since I also installed other packages in the process, you might want to … Read more
Use: gw_func_dict = dict((chr(2**i), func) for i, func in enumerate(gwfuncs[:8])) That’s the dict() function with a generator expression producing (key, value) pairs. Or, to put it generically, a dict comprehension of the form: {key_expr: value_expr for targets in iterable <additional loops or if expressions>} can always be made compatible with Python < 2.7 by using: … Read more
Call your unittest with option “-b” – buffer stdout and stderr Foo.py class Foo: def bar(self): print “bar” return 7 test.py import unittest from Foo import Foo class test_Foo(unittest.TestCase): def test_bar(self): obj = Foo() res = obj.bar() self.assertEqual(res, 7) if __name__ == “__main__”: unittest.main() Run it with -b option $ python test.py -b . ———————————————————————- … Read more
Use: all( type(i) is int for i in lst ) Example: In [1]: lst = range(10) In [2]: all( type(i) is int for i in lst ) Out[2]: True In [3]: lst.append(‘steve’) In [4]: all( type(i) is int for i in lst ) Out[4]: False [Edit]. Made cleaner as per comments.
The mtime refers to last time the file’s contents were changed. This can be altered on unix systems in various ways. Often, when you restore files from backup, the mtime is altered to indicate the last time the contents were changed before the backup was made. The ctime indicates the last time the inode was … Read more
You’re not using call right. Look at the introduction or any of the examples in the docs. The first argument of call is “args”, a sequence of arguments, where arg[0] is the program to run. So, when you do this: s.call(“gpio -g read 17”) There are two ways subprocess could interpret this. It should run … Read more
This line: str_time = datetime.strptime(Datetime, “%m/%j/%y %H:%M”) returns a datetime object as per the docs. You can test this yourself by running the following command interactively in the interpreter: >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.strptime(’12/31/13 00:12′, “%m/%j/%y %H:%M”) datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 31, 0, 12) >>> The time portion of the returned datetime can then be accessed using … Read more
tldr; format just calls obj.__format__ and is used by the str.format method which does even more higher level stuff. For the lower level it makes sense to teach an object how to format itself. It is just syntactic sugar The fact that this function shares the name and format specification with str.format can be misleading. … Read more
