Update : From Python 3.6, you can use f-strings >>> print(f'”{word}”‘) “Some Random Word” Original Answer : You can try %-formatting >>> print(‘”%s”‘ % word) “Some Random Word” OR str.format >>> print(‘”{}”‘.format(word)) “Some Random Word” OR escape the quote character with \ >>> print(“\”%s\”” % word) “Some Random Word” And, if the double-quotes is not … Read more
Python datetime.strftime() delegates to C strftime() function that is platform-dependent: The full set of format codes supported varies across platforms, because Python calls the platform C library’s strftime() function, and platform variations are common. To see the full set of format codes supported on your platform, consult the strftime(3) documentation. Glibc notes for strftime(3): – … Read more
In general, a context manager is free to do whatever its author wants it to do when used. Set/reset a certain system state, cleaning up resources after use, acquiring/releasing a lock, etc. In particular, as Jon already writes, a database connection object creates a transaction when used as a context manager. If you want to … Read more
You need to recursively loop over the list and check if an item is iterable(strings are iterable too, but skip them) or not. itertools.chain will not work for [1,[2,2,2],4] because it requires all of it’s items to be iterable, but 1 and 4 (integers) are not iterable. That’s why it worked for the second one … Read more
For me it works when I do these steps: Go to the directory/folder that you want run virtualenv .env then run source .env/bin/activate
You can encode it into ascii and ignore errors: u’\u200cHealth & Fitness’.encode(‘ascii’, ‘ignore’) Output: ‘Health & Fitness’
Regular DOS paths are limited to MAX_PATH (260) characters, including the string’s terminating NUL character. You can exceed this limit by using an extended-length path that starts with the \\?\ prefix. This path must be a Unicode string, fully qualified, and only use backslash as the path separator. Per Microsoft’s file system functionality comparison, the … Read more
See unidecode library which converts all strings into UTF8. It is very useful in case of number input in different languages. In Python 2: >>> from unidecode import unidecode >>> a = unidecode(u”۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹”) >>> a ‘0123456789’ >>> unidecode(a) ‘0123456789’ In Python 3: >>> from unidecode import unidecode >>> a = unidecode(“۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹”) >>> a ‘0123456789’ >>> … Read more
What you are trying to do is called flattening the list. And according to the Zen of Python, you are trying to do the right thing. Quoting from that Flat is better than nested. So you can use list comprehension like this newlist = [item for items in newlist for item in items] Or you … Read more
