Having recently come across this introduction to Factor, I’ve been a bit curious to learn more. Aside from the official FAQ mentioned there, do you have resources for learning the language (as well as the stack-based “paradigm,” if that’s the right word) that you’ve found helpful?
As a side note, would learning Forth help, or is that like comparing C to Python (or what have you)?
I have two 3GB text files, each file has around 80 million lines. And they share 99.9% identical lines (file A has 60,000 unique lines, file B has 80,000 unique lines).
How can I quickly find those unique lines in two files? Is there any ready-to-use command line tools for this? I’m using Python but I guess it’s less possible to find a efficient Pythonic method to load the files and compare.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I would like to customize the files and folders created when running
python manage.py startapp appname
I find doing some things over and over again and I think it would be neat, if my customizations are present when I create a new app.
Do you know where I can customize the default files when an app is created?
I am looking for something similar to ‘clear’ in Matlab: A command/function which removes all variables from the workspace, releasing them from system memory. Is there such a thing in Python?
I’m currently working on a very simple script. It opens a socket and tries to read the incoming data. Currently I’m using the recv method which puts the entire incoming data in a single string variable. This is all fine but the package I’m receiving contains various data which I need to parse out.
The pattern in the package is rather straightforward, the first incoming integer tells me how long the incoming string is and after that a second integer telling me how long the second string is and so it goes. Here is my problem, how do I fetch the first integer from a string? Not thinking this was possible at all I started to look at buffers (from the Java ByteArrayBuffer) but I didn’t find what I was looking for. There was one method recv_into which takes a read-write buffer but I didn’t quite get that.
So, basically what I want to do is open a socket and read an integer or a string from that socket much similar to Java. Is this possible? I cannot be the first one trying out socket communication in Python! 
Kind regards,
Niklas
hey guys, how would you access an array from array[n] in an array of 100 floats in this for loop (i need the enumerate):
for index,value in enumerate(array):
#do stuff with array[n]
n=n+1
im trying to make it so that it operates in a smaller and smaller space each iteration..
thanks
Most of the requirements for a game programming job I’ve looked at required good C/C++ skills. I agree, most game engines are written in C/C++. But aren’t the engines USED in a scripting languages? Don’t the companies need scripting programmers to actually code the game from the game engine?
Why haven’t I ever seen a company that requires good Python skills? Or do most companies just make their own engines?
Hi, I’m using 256-colors theme in vim (set t_Co=256) and all php files opens about 8 seconds.
I really want to use 256-colors mode, it looks much prettier, but I can’t get rid of this lags.
whats the most simple way to create a new entity in google app engine? i used now a simple servlet form, but it is annoying to upload a project only because you want to create a new entity. i am using eclipse with java. ( creating entities is documented on google only for python )
