I have a struct in GDB and want to run a script which examines this struct. In Python GDB you can easily access the struct via Now I got this variable called mystruct which is a GDB.Value object. And I can access all the members of the struct by simply using this object as a dictionary (likemystruct[‘member’]). The problem is,
Python : clear a log file
I develop a client-server application and I have log in the server, so I use the logging module. I would like to create a command in the server to clear the file. I have test with os.remove() but after, the log doesn’t work. Do you have an idea? Thanks. Answer It might be better to truncate the file instead of
How to declare a dictionary with inline function
Do I have to formally define a function before I can use it as an element of a dictionary? I would rather define the function inline. I just tried to type out what I want to do, but the whitespace policies of python syntax make it very hard to define an inline func within a dict. Is there any way

Have search the web and found many solutions but nothing i can understand have a line and line segment intersection script in 2D but i cant figure out have to make it 3D. It is not important from
How to convert a binary (string) into a float value?
I want to convert a binary number into a float number. Here’s an example of a possibility: gives me the correct output: Unfortunately, I am working with binary strings, i.e., I need something like float(‘-0b1110’). However, this doesn’t work: I tried to use binascii.a2b_qp(string[, header]) which converts a block of quoted-printable data back to binary and returns the binary data.
Retain all entries except for one key python
I have a python dictionary. Just to give out context, I am trying to write my own simple cross validation unit. So basically what I want is to get all the values except for the given keys. And depending on the input, it returns all the values from a dictionary except to those what has been given. So if the
detecting bind mounts on linux
I am looking for a way to determine if a given path is a bind mount point (on linux). The standard techniques for detecting regular mount points don’t seem to work. Even the mountpoint command fails to detect bind mounts. Answer I’m not sure there is supposed to be a way to do that (except perhaps thru /etc/mtab or /etc/fstab)
Celery + Django: Cannot start celerybeat on Windows 7
I’ve been developing a Django application and I am now trying to add Celery for background tasks. I need both normal tasks and periodic tasks to be queued. I can start up celeryd just fine, and execute tasks with it (I start it with the command python manage.py celeryd start –settings=settings –loglevel=INFO). On Windows you can’t do -beat/-b to enable
How does one find the largest consecutive set of numbers in a list that are not necessarily adjacent?
For instance, if I have a list This algorithm should return [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. To clarify, the longest list should run forwards. I was wondering what is an algorithmically efficient way to do this (preferably not O(n^2))? Also, I’m open to a solution not in python since the algorithm is what matters. Thank you. Answer Here is a simple one-pass O(n) solution:
Controlling Yaml Serialization Order in Python
How do you control how the order in which PyYaml outputs key/value pairs when serializing a Python dictionary? I’m using Yaml as a simple serialization format in a Python script. My Yaml serialized objects represent a sort of “document”, so for maximum user-friendliness, I’d like my object’s “name” field to appear first in the file. Of course, since the value
