Python escape usage in django templates by GAE

2011-03-02 Thread Niklasro
Hi
I got problems with escape displaying like junk when upgrading from
django 0.96 to 1.2 with google app engine.
The code is

 # let user choose authenticator
for p in openIdProviders:
p_name = p.split('.')[0] # take "AOL" from "AOL.com"
p_url = p.lower()# "AOL.com" -> "aol.com"
loginmsg = loginmsg + '%s ' % ( #'','')
   users.create_login_url(federated_identity=p_url),
p_name)
loginmsg = loginmsg + '%s' %
('login',_("Log in"))

And the output is strange. View source show this:

Add03 Mar

Log inGoogle Yahoo MySpace AOL Log in



Can you make ad advice how to proceed? Many thanks,
Niklas Rosenrantz

datetime questions

2010-09-07 Thread Niklasro
Hello
Learning python datetime somewhat similar to SQL type timestamp my
attempt creating a 24 h 2 months ago is

str(datetime.now () - timedelta (days = 60)) +' cron '+
str(datetime.now () - timedelta (days = 59))

Do you agree? Can I improve this declaration?

Learning inheritance

2010-09-18 Thread Niklasro
Hi
How can I make the visibility of a variable across many methods or
files? To avoid repeating the same line eg url =
os.environ['HTTP_HOST'] if os.environ.get('HTTP_HOST') else
os.environ['SERVER_NAME'] I repeat for many methods. So declaring it
to a super class and inheriting it is my plan. Do you agree or propose
otherwise?
Thanks
Niklas

Thanks for replying and informing correctness. More background is the
variable I want accessible for many functions and files either is
HTTP_HOST or SERVER_NAME used as beginning of url or resource locator
indicated where the software is used. Instead of declaring the
variable many times feasibility study is how to minify number of times
I declare the same variable. I got 2 files main.py and i18n both with
webapp request handlers which I would like access the variable.
Thanks

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I alternatively think about
declaring the variable in a setting.py file and import it. It doesn't
create many objects but I want to learn more professional code
conventions than same test repeated.

I try a file setting.py declaring it like this just loose in the file
not knowing much theory about it thinking it's easy and intuitive.

Re: Learning inheritance

2010-09-19 Thread Niklasro
It works but I don't know whether it's formally inheritance or class
variable.

Before code was
url = os.environ['HTTP_HOST'] if os.environ.get('HTTP_HOST') else
os.environ['SERVER_NAME']
if url.find('niklas') > 0:

and now the change saves me from repeating myself!

util.py:
url = os.environ.get("HTTP_HOST", os.environ["SERVER_NAME"]) #declared
as class variable(?)

And viola just test if util.url.find('niklas') > 0:

Exactly what I wanted to do with your experienced guidance.

Many thanks
Happy refactored

Good to learn what I'm doing :-) since important being able to explain
choices taken farther than "doing it because it works".
I understand the concept of modules may not correspond to java
programming where I come from.

Which is good since always questioning the empty declarations Java has
we know empty getters and setters forced to a class and interfaces
with nothing but names and no logic. With this respect I prefer python
solving same problem with ½ MB python 30 MB J2EE used to with drawback
only that Java had the faster physical response. You can have the
buggiest code respond the fastest like a hijacked environment
physically boosted you don't want and naturally choosing the slower
physical response time in favor of decent development environment.

I follow it means learning when constructors get called twice.
Normally a constructor should get called once only.

WSGI by HTTP GET

2010-10-02 Thread Niklasro
Hello
Getting a web same page with 2 or more possible "states" eg business
part, private part or all parts, can you recommend a way to represent
the states via HTTP GET? Feasible way could be ?business=business, ?
type=business, ?business=true or others. Should I minimize casting the
variable? Which type should I reason, boolen or string? I now use
seemingly arbitrary ?t=w to represent a state which technically works
leaving a more readable and maintainable solution to wish.
Thanks

Big O relates input size to computation time. For example mission is
"make the program 1000 times faster"
you can
a) buy much more expensive hardware
b) rewrite exponential time algorithms to polynomial time and
likewise.
And look at a sheet with 10 best algorithms, they have times noted and
where applicable for example sorting a set that's already somewhat
sorted another method than sorting a very unsorted set is applicable.

Combining 2 regexes to 1

Hello, Suspecting it's completely doable combining these 2 regexes to
just 1 expression I'm looking for the working syntax. If you know then
kindly inform. Thanks in advance
('/a/([^/]*)',List), #list

Many thanks. It works. You also helped me refactor these

('/([0-9]*)/?([^/]*)',AById),#id2a
('/([0-9]*)',AById)

to just 1

('/([0-9]*)/?([^/]*)',AById),#id2a

It's from the appspot framework.

You can do it with tkinter to also enable GUI.
