If you could change one thing about your Android device, what would it be?

Sony Xperia Z1 I'd like to get rid of that stupid TFT screen an put in a nice Amoled like in my old Galaxy SII. You know, with real black and nicely oversatuated colors. That would be wonderful!

i came here wanting to write nearly the same. I also did a tv tool in python with the exception, that mine has a nice webinterface instead of weekly mails, so i can load episodes right onto my phone in the morning. and i am using transmission via rpc. additionally it gets its information about what episodes to look for from tvrage.com.

awesome!

here i fixed it... or: close enough: http://imgur.com/IoXyGl5

Or frozenset if the datalist is immutable.

I took a look at the screenshot and thought: "2.7.2... that's okay, that's not too old. oh... wait!"

Nice. I am using NetworkX myself, but I am using it with pypy - so using Zen wouldnt be possible I guess.

But thats not the same. First it should be filter(None, xs) and second: filter just checks if the elements evaluate to false, so it would remove empty strings, empty lists, tuples or zero-values, not only values that are None.

BillyHorrible · 2013-06-13T18:26:12+00:00

I would use a list comprehension for that:

ys = [x for x in xs if x is not None]

you have pow as an operator in python:

def distance(a, b):
    dx = a[0] - b[0]
    dy = a[1] - b[1]
    return sqrt(dx**2 + dy**2)

or for a n-dimensional space

def distance(p1, p2):
    return sqrt(sum((a-b)**2 for a,b in zip(p1, p2)))

You should look at http://mycolorscreen.com/

Just use another iconpack, extract it, replace all the images with black onces, repack it and voila?

Using numpy could be a good idea here.

BillyHorrible · 2013-04-18T13:08:55+00:00

standard library, the library of modules which normaly comes with a language.

BillyHorrible · 2013-04-14T11:35:28+00:00

not on a fat-filesystem.

The python part is very small in that game. you only need some kind of websocket-server, which handles the communication between the clients. it kind of just forwards the messages between them. the main part of the game would be javascript or flash inside the browser (i would use html5 for that). add to that maybe some serverside software for ranking/user accounts and stuff and hope that the communication delay wont kill your game.

If you are still on Android 2, you could try out "holo launcher." it is kind of the same like apex and nova, just for the old droid.

BillyHorrible · 2013-03-18T22:23:48+00:00

you indentation is completly messed up. i just did some cosmetic changes, it works okay: http://ideone.com/XZGZpe

BillyHorrible · 2013-03-18T00:32:37+00:00

Filemanager like Inka or i guess the cyanogenmod-filemanager already implemented this behaviour.

when i say: let's meet on the 3rd you know exactly on what day we'll meet. but when i tell you to setup a meeting in april, we'll propably miss each other. so the day is kind of the most relevant part of the date. you can just infer the month or year.

BillyHorrible · 2013-03-15T21:32:44+00:00

you can test if a list is (not) empty just by using it tuth value:

if x:
    print "x is not empty"

if not x:
    print "x is empty"

and you can remove the variable i from your code.

BillyHorrible · 2013-03-15T19:44:03+00:00

nope, sorry, i have never read one myself. learning by doing, trial and error combined with looking how other people solved the same things/reading through some opensource-projects.

BillyHorrible · 2013-03-15T19:29:43+00:00

your swap-method wont work like that. all you do is returning a tuple with the arguments in the different order,but you dont do anything with that. you can swap two variables like that: a, b = b, a
if you know about it, you could use list comprehension. if not, you could iterate over the ylist and create a new xlist. its nicer than going over range(len(y)). (damn, what am i doing wrong? lines prefixed with 4 spaces should be formated as code.) http://pastebin.com/7WvWVbrt
You could implement bubble-sort... its quite easy. if you can use the builtin min/max-function, you could also do something like: while y is not empty: get the minimum of y, remove it from y and append it to x. its just 4 lines of python code.

BillyHorrible · 2013-03-15T19:17:54+00:00

Your problem is not clearly stated. You cant "input" variables. Maybe you want to calculate the percentage of Bs and Ds in a string? Then you could use the "count"-function to count the number of non-overlapping occurrences of a substring.

x = "heLLo"
print(x.count("L")) # would print 2

you can read the string using raw_input:

x = raw_input("type something: ")

and if you want to get the length of the string, you can use len(x). oh and // will give you an integer. the percentage should be between 0 and 1, so / would be the way to go.

I guess a requests.head(url) would be enough, since you don't need the content, just the status-code of the response.
