Sometimes when I try to install a third-party library for Python, I get an error saying that either distutils, or some part of it like distutils.core or distutils.util, could not be found. It's sho...
Recently, Python updated from 3.11 to 3.12 and now all my libraries are gone. Actually they're in the old 3.11 site-packages, but now that python points to 3.12 those are not active. Every time I r...
In many other programming languages, the execution of code starts in a specifically named function (such as main) which is expected to have a specific signature, which allows that function to recei...
I'm used to working in Python, but my current project is in C#/.NET and uses log4net for logging. Out of the box, log4net uses an XML file for configuration. I dislike XML and want to use something...
Having recently learned about protocols in Python, I now wonder if you can write a protocol for enumerations. That is, a protocol that says that you are supposed to pass an enum that has certain it...
I've written the following code implementing a state machine in Python, and I'd like some feedback on it. The basic idea is that each state has a set of corresponding actions that trigger a state ...
I want my CLI Python program to schedule a task, and then exit. After some times has passed (say 10 minutes) the task should execute. The task can be a Python method or a shell command, whatever i...
I found a strange expression in some Python code: from library import HOME_DIRECTORY file = HOME_DIRECTORY / "file.json" It seems to be dividing a string by another string in order to do som...
Several times now, I've seen advice in tutorials, setup/install instructions for Python-based projects, etc. to use a virtual environment to keep things organized and make it simpler to manage the ...
I've seen many examples of Python scripts that include a line that says: if __name__ == '__main__': Sometimes the following block contains a bunch of code, but other times it just makes a singl...
I understand the benefits of virtual environments in general, and specifically I want to use a virtual environment so that I'll have access to Pip without exposing the system Python (i.e., included...
In Python 3.12, I noticed that some libraries seem to be missing or "deprecated": >>> import asynchat Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>...
I have Box drive on Windows. I use it as a regular folder on the computer. I can store images there. When I store a small number of images (on the order of a couple hundreds) and I do not wait lon...
I am training the following model using Keras as shown: model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(64, (3,3), activation='relu', input_shape=(256, 256, 3)), tf.keras.layers.MaxPooli...
Consider this code: while(arr[index] != 0) index++; vs while(arr[index] != 0) { index++; } Personally, I prefer the first. The fact that the braces are not needed makes them -- u...
Here in Python, I created a program for this challenge and I'm having trouble debugging it. I already fixed most errors I have on my program but here's what I have left: x=y=z=[];i=0.0;a=int(input...
I'm still in the process of making MarkFuncs and having given up from copy-pasting open-source interpreters, them using OOP too, I decided to make one without OOP and with scratch alongside with th...
Now I build a Python script to execute automaticaly a dynamic analysis on apk and I block because I use this library and call objection. When I run my script, the objection command creates an inst...
I have a list of 11-digit numbers stored in one single column in Excel, and I need to separate the digits according to this pattern: 2-2-1-3-3. Example: 00002451018 becomes 00 00 2 451 018. How c...
Based on my last question comes new one. How to loop over 300 000 rows and edit each row string one by one? I have a list of 11-digit numbers stored in one single column in Excel, and I need to s...
What exactly is the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)? As someone who is relatively new to Python, is this something I need to be aware of, or is this just some implementation detail of the inte...
There's this new challenge on Code Golf CD and I'm using Python to do it. A little bit of golfing already took place, so the code might look a bit messy for you. Anyway, I'm proud of what I've writ...
I started adding types to my (working) solution to Exercism's "Kindergarten Garden" exercise, to learn how typing with python and Mypy (strict) works. While doing so, I ran into a Mypy error that I...
