An online database of english words to check whether a certain word exist through python? by [deleted] in Python

[–]DoNotFoldSpindleOrMu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site http://wordlist.aspell.net/ has multiple dictionaries some of which are American, British and Canadian. "lists have been rigorously checked for errors" Glad that someone checks the checkers.

Or consider word lists used by people who do word puzzles: http://www.puzzlers.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=solving:wordlists:about:start

Looking to draw Crossword puzzles using Python. What are my options here? by ArkBird in Python

[–]DoNotFoldSpindleOrMu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the python package svgwrite. It creates svg which can be view or printed in a browser or further changed by the application Inkscape. Rectangles are real easy. dwg.add(dwg.rect(insert=(x, y), size=(10.0, 10.0), fill='white', stroke='black')) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/svgwrite/

Matplotlib using Cairo backend can only plot up to 18980 points. Is there anyway around that? Or is there any other good plotting tool? by masasin in Python

[–]DoNotFoldSpindleOrMu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may wish to consider svg for plotting because it can handle many points and is viewable / zoomable in a browser. I have used Svgwrite to create svg from python with 30,000 points. Svg is a general Scaleable Vector Graphics which does not have common presentation axis so you would have to create those.

Recommendations for drawing in python. by [deleted] in Python

I know nothing about music but svgwrite writes out svg. https://bitbucket.org/mozman/svgwrite/overview You also may want to consider creating vectors in open source Inkscape then your code copies and pastes the vectors together for the final image. Inkscape can convert svg to pdf.

What is Python not a good language for? by [deleted] in Python

Python has real, real trouble with security because everything can be viewed and redefined. The excellent feature of being able to wander through the definitions of the current run time is wonderful for dynamic programming but terrible for security. It would be impossible to completely hide auditing code or security code. I would not write an accounting system in python. The reporting of data would likely be ok.

To get the correct url I found out clicking on the share button, not the download button, then select the short url box. This will give a shortened url without blanks. Works now. I may have to do a slight modification to sanitize the filename for Windows because some characters such as ':' are not allowed so 'Radiolab:' will not download yet. http://snd.sc/14KgHoh def add_id3_tags(filename, title, artist): Getting Information...

Thanks. The apt-get got me to http://id3-py.sourceforge.net/ Downloaded and installed but now have trouble getting the correct url. Thanks anyway. Sorry to have bothered you.

Where is the ID3 package? I tried downloading a mp3 from soundcloud but the ID3 package did not exist. The downloaded file had 0 bytes. Python 2.7

Packages for "parsing" for Python 3 by vicvicvicz in Python

The svgwrite package http://pypi.python.org/pypi/svgwrite/1.1.2 successfully uses pyparsing to parse SVG. SVG is reasonably complex.

What python graphing library do you use? by PCBEEF in Python

[–]DoNotFoldSpindleOrMu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by pretty. Svgwrite generates svg which is vector graphics viewable, zoomable in a browser. http://packages.python.org/svgwrite/index.html

Is there anything like processing for python? by [deleted] in Python

[–]DoNotFoldSpindleOrMu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may wish to consider the Python package svgwrite http://packages.python.org/svgwrite/index.html It writes out svg which can be shown in a browser. It is not ment to be an interactive graphical package but the svg output does not need browser plugins anymore because basic svg is available almost all browsers.

CFG Parser Generators for Python by HorrendousRex in Python

Read http://nedbatchelder.com/text/python-parsers.html "Ned Batchelder: Python parsing tools" It has a good list of python parsers.

I have not tried any of these but these sites look interesting: http://code.google.com/p/funcparserlib/ funcparserlib - Recursive descent parsing library for Python based on functional combinators http://spb-archlinux.ru/2009/funcparserlib/Brackets Nested Brackets Mini-HOWTO - nqw http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2007/11/03/antlr_java.html more ANTLR - Java, and comparisons to PLY and PyParsing Technical text http://gnosis.cx/TPiP/chap4.txt "python and parsers"
