2008-03-07 Thread koara
Hello, is there a way to access a module that is hidden because another module (of the same name) is found first? More specifically, i have my own logging.py module, and inside this module, depending on how initialization goes, i may want to do 'from logging import *' from the built-in logging.

mmap disk performance

Hello all, i am using the mmap module (python2.4) to access contents of a file. My question regards the relative performance of mmap.seek() vs mmap.tell(). I have a generator that returns stuff from the file, piece by piece. Since other things may happen to the mmap object in between consecutive

urllib.unquote + unicode

Hello all, i am using urllib.unquote_plus to unquote a string. Sometimes i get a strange string like for example "spolu%u017E%E1ci.cz" to unquote. Here the problem is that some application decided to quote a non-ascii character as %u directly, instead of using an encoding and quoting byte per

Hello all -- my question regards special meta characters for the re module. I saw in the re module documentation about the possibility to abstract to any alphanumeric unicode character with '\w'. However, there was no info on constructing patterns for other unicode categories, such as purely alphab

memory efficient set/dictionary

2007-06-10 Thread koara
What is the best to go about using a large set (or dictionary) that doesn't fit into main memory? What is Python's (2.5 let's say) overhead for storing int in the set, and how much for storing int -> int mapping in the dict? Please recommend a module that allows persistent set/dict storage + fast
