urllib2 - safe way to download something
Hi,
I wonder if there is a safe way to download page with urllib2. I've
constructed following method to catch all possible exceptions.
def retrieve(url):
user_agent = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT)'
headers = {'User-Agent':user_agent}
request = urllib2.Request(url, headers=headers)
try:
handler = urllib2.urlopen(request)
data = handler.read()
handler.close()
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
log.warning("Server couldn't fulfill the request: %s, %s" % \
(url, e.code))
return None
except urllib2.URLError, e:
log.warning("Failed to reach a server: %s, %s" % (url,
e.reason))
return None
except HTTPException, e:
log.warning("HTTP exception: %s, %s" % (url,
e.__class__.__name__))
return None
except socket.timeout:
log.warning("Timeout expired: %s" % (url))
return None
return data
But suddenly I've got the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):

cache-like structure
Hi, I've write a class that actually is data structure with items that automatically removed from collection when timeout expires. Interface is pretty simple. First public method is to make a record. And second (__contains__) is to define if record is actually in table. I prefer async way to clean out expired records. Thus I have to create timeout thread every cycle to wait for the next clean-up. So my questions are: - is the implementation thread-safe (or I've missed something) - is there way to avoid creating new timer every cycle - are there better ways to do this (or any ready recipes) --- import threading import time import collections class CacheTable(object): def __init__(self, ttl): self.records = collections.deque() self.ttl = ttl self.timer = None self.mutex = threading.Lock() def record(self, item): self.mutex.acquire() try: self.records.append((time.time(), item)) if not self.timer: self.__settimer(self.ttl) finally: self.mutex.release() def __cleanup(self): self.mutex.acquire() try: current = time.time() self.timer = None while self.records: timestamp, item = self.records.popleft() if timestamp + self.ttl > current: self.records.appendleft((timestamp, item)) time_to_wait = timestamp + self.ttl - current self.__settimer(time_to_wait) break finally: self.mutex.release() def __settimer(self, timeout): self.timer = threading.Timer(timeout, self.__cleanup) self.timer.start() def __contains__(self, value): self.mutex.acquire() try: items = [item for ts, item in self.records] return items.__contains__(value) finally: self.mutex.release() --- Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It does, as long as headline and caption *can* actually be encoded as
macroman. After you decode headline from utf-8 it will be unicode and
not all unicode characters can be mapped to macroman:
>>> u'\u0160'.encode('utf8')

At least you can leave tokenizing to python lib:

>>> token_names = dict([
... (value, name) for (name, value)
... in token.__dict__.iteritems()
... if isinstance(value, int)])
>>> tokens = tokenize.generate_tokens(

>>> pprint.pprint([(token_names[t[0]], t[1]) for t in tokens])

('NUMBER', '1'),

True doesn't seem to be a literal, it is looked up by name and can be

If you have real users, your first step is to talk to them to define project goals. Everything else (xml, python, etc.) is irrelevant until you know *what* you want to build. Go talk to your potential users, know why (if at all) they need this monitoring system, learn their current tools and processes, see how your system could help them do their job more efficiently. Don't start coding until you have clear understanding of requirements. There are lots of nice intelligent people on this list, but they can't substitute people you are building this system for :) - kv -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Depends on whether you have to deal with xhtml, valid html or just
any, possibly invalid, "pseudo-html" that abounds on the net.
Here's an example of (too) simple html processing using standard
HTMLParser module:
from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
class Indenter(HTMLParser):
def __init__(self, out):
HTMLParser.__init__(self)
self.out = out
self.indent_level = 0
def write_line(self, text):
print >> self.out, '\t' * self.indent_level + text
def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
self.write_line(
'<%s %s>' % (tag, ' '.join('%s=%s' % (k, v) for k, v in attrs))
)
self.indent_level += 1
def handle_endtag(self, tag):
self.indent_level -= 1
self.write_line('' % tag)
handle_data = write_line
# handle everything else...
# http://docs.python.org/lib/module-HTMLParser.html

While you can't have a set of mutable objects (even dictionaries :)),
you can have a set of immutable snapshots of those objects:
>>> d1 = {1: 'a', 2: 'b'}

>>> s = set([tuple(d1.iteritems()), tuple(d2.iteritems())])

Maybe you can use a list for that:

>>> d2 = {3: 4}
>>> s = [d1, d2]
>>> {1: 2} in s
True
>>> {5: 6} in s

Try binding to a port and you'll get an 'Address already in use error'

AFAIK, even the same process can't bind to the same port twice:
>>> import socket
>>> s1 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
>>> s1.bind(('localhost', 8000))
>>> s2 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
