<p>Well, don't know if such library exists, but <code>date</code> from GNU coreutils has something like that:</p> <pre><code>$ date -d "last monday" Mon Mar 2 00:00:00 RST 2009 </code></pre>

The module gives you iterators for dates, while taking weeks into consideration...

<p>How are you setting PYTHONPATH? You might be confusing tcsh's set vs. setenv. Use "set" to set what tcsh calls <em>shell variables</em> and use "setenv" to set <em>environment variables</em>. So, you need to use setenv in order for Python to see it. For example:</p> <pre><code>$ set FOO='bar' $ echo $FOO bar $ ...

Will python provide enough performance for a proxy?
619,575
<p>I want to start writing a http proxy that will modify responses according to some rules/filters I will configure. However, before I start coding it, I want to make sure I'm making the right choice in going with Python. Later, this tool would have to be able to process a lot of requests, so, I would like to know I ca...

<p>Yes, I think you will find Python to be perfectly adequate for your needs. There's a huge number of web frameworks, WSGI libraries, etc. to choose from, or learn from when building your own.</p> <p>There's an interesting <a href="http://python-history.blogspot.com/2009/01/microsoft-ships-python-code-in-1996.html" ...

<p>Python performs pretty well for most tasks, but you'll need to change the way you program if you're used to other languages. See <a href="http://dirtsimple.org/2004/12/python-is-not-java.html" rel="nofollow">Python is not Java</a> for more info.</p> <p>If plain old CPython doesn't give the performance you need, yo...

What is the best way to represent a schedule in a database, via Python/Django?
619,592
<p>I am writing a backup system in Python, with a Django front-end. I have decided to implement the scheduling in a slightly strange way - the client will poll the server (every 10 minutes or so), for a list of backups that need doing. The server will only respond when the time to backup is reached. This is to keep the...

<p>Take a look at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/django-chronograph/" rel="nofollow">django-chronograph</a>. It has a pretty nice interface for scheduling jobs at all sorts of intervals. You might be able to borrow some ideas from that. It relies on <a href="http://labix.org/python-dateutil" rel="nofollow">python-da...

Using pixel fonts in PIL

Do Django custom authentication backends need to take a password?
619,620
<p>Here's how my university handles authentication: we redirect the user to a website, they enter in their username and password, then they get redirected back to us with the username and a login key passed in the query string. When we get the user back, we call a stored procedure in the university's database that ta...

Supplying password to wrapped-up MySQL

<p>Greetings.</p> <p>I have written a little python script that calls MySQL in a subprocess.

<p>This may be a windows / SQL Server feature, but could you use a Trusted Connection (i.e. use your OS login/password to access the DB)? There may be an OS X equivalent for MySQL.</p> <p>Or you may just need to set up your DB to use the OS login and password so that you don't need to keep it in your code.</p> <p>An...

<p>You could simply build a my.cnf file and point to that on the mysql command. Obviously you'll want to protect that file with permissions/acls. But it shouldn't be really an more/less secure then having the password in your python script, or the config for your python script.</p> <p>So you would do something like ...
