Python escape usage in django templates by GAE
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.

datetime questions
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? Regards Niklas Rosencrantz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Learning inheritance
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 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

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 Niklas R -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

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. Sincerely, Niklas R -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This also lets you share temporary data between modules.

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
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 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I understand the concept of modules may not correspond to java programming where I come from. Sincerely with thanks for the help, Niklas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

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
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.

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.

Re: Combining 2 regexes to 1
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. Sincerely Niklas R -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
