Localized strftime()
Hi! I'm trying to get a localized date format from strftime() but it seems that is doesn't have any parameters for that or any information about this issue in Python docs. For example I want to turn this: 19 Oct, 2005 to this(slovene language): 19 Okt, 2005 Thanks for help, Sebastjan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Localized strftime()
Great, it works, thanks :)

Dictionary string parser
Hi,
is there any library or some way to parse dictionary string with list,
string and int objects into a real Python dictionary?
For example:
>>> my_dict = dict_parser("{'test':'123','hehe':['hooray',1]}")
I could use eval() but it's not very fast nor secure.
Thanks, Sebastjan

PIL and ImageMagick scalability
Hi everyone! I have a question about image processing. We have a website which will process a lot of images a day.It will be running Apache(worker) with mod_python. My question is what should we use for processing. If we use PIL the processing will be done with the same process that handles other requests and that will probably slow them down when there will be a peak. If we use ImageMagick you create new process that does the image processing which probably uses multiple CPUs better and is more scalable, right? Thanks, Sebastjan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: encoding problem
I think you are trying to concatenate a unicode string with regular
one so when it tries to convert the regular string to unicode with
ASCII(default one) encoding it fails. First find out which of these
strings is regular and how it was encoded, then you can decode it like
this(if regular string is diff):
mailbody +=diff.decode('')

Egg with option to install extra packages
Hi,
I'm trying to distribute my application which also support some extra
libraries but does not require them to run. I set the "extra" option
but I don't know how could I specify that I want to install my
application with any of that extra packages.
So now I have in my setup.py like this:
extras_require={
'postgresql': ['psycopg2'],
'mysql': ['MySQLdb'],
'odbc': ['pyodbc'],
'mssql': ['pymssql'],
},
Could I now specify an extra package when installing?
ie. easy_install my_egg.egg --extra=postgresql,mysql,odbc
Thanks!

Re: Weird local variables behaviors
I see, intuitively one would think it would try to get it from global
context as it's not yet bound in the local.
Thanks for the explanation.

Re: imap folder scanner
A very simple example...
import imaplib
m = imap.IMAP4()
m.login(username,password)
m.select('myfolder')
status, data = m.search(None,'(SUBJECT "BIKES")')
assert status=='OK', "Error. Message: %s"%data
data = data[0] #you get your results in a list and search returns only
one result
assert data,"No results"
#cool, we have results, but IMAP's search command only returns IDs so
we have to fetch
#msgs now
status,senders = m.fetch(data.replace('
',','),'(BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)])')
assert status=='OK', "Error. Message: %s"%data
Now you just have to parse the "senders" data. There are many examples
about sending emails with python, like this one:
def send_notice():
import smtplib
msg = 'we got your mail, indeed'
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
mail = MIMEText(msg, 'plain', 'utf-8')
mail['From'] =fro='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
mail['Subject'] = "Spam machine"
mail['To'] = to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
errors = server.sendmail(fro, to, mail.as_string())
server.quit()
That other program should be very simple to make now.

Re: imap folder scanner
"senders" is list, that is why that regex does not work. I don't like regexes that much so you can try this:parsed_senders = []sender = ""for item in senders: if isinstance(item,tuple):
item= ''.join(item) if item==')': parsed_senders.append(sender[sender.find('From:')+5:].strip()) sender = "" else: sender+=itemprint parsed_sendersSebastjan

so i have used the following code and have successfully saved a list ofsenders as a string. however, the string has much more information thanjust the email address and i am wondering what is the best way to parse
the email address out of the entire string.sample string: >>> print status, sendersOK [('460 (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)] {46}', 'From: Friend<
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>\r\n\r\n'), ')', ('462 (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)] {37}','From: Kun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n\r\n'), ')']
how do i just get the two email addresses out of there?
my code is:from imaplib import *import getpassm = IMAP4("")m.login('xx', 'xxx')m.select('Inbox')status, data = "" "BIKES")')
assert status=='OK', "Error. Message: %s"%datadata = "" #you get your results in a list and search returns onlyone resultassert data,"No results"#cool, we have results, but IMAP's search command only returns IDs so we
