[Ncr-Python.in] autocomplete for django on emacs
by Amit Sethi Feb. 28, 2011

Feb. 28, 2011

Hi all , I was looking at pydev for eclipse integration and it provides a very nice globals browser which comes in handy when you are working on models or using a lot of django's core elements. Does any body know of some module that provides nice autocomplete features with django on emacs. -- A-M-I-T S|S

[Ncr-Python.in] Making a Career in FOSS [New Business]
by aruntheguy＠gmail.com Feb. 28, 2011

Feb. 28, 2011

Hello All, I am a final year BE student. While most of my mates are sincerely searching for a spot in the corporates, me and two of my friends cherish a dream of creating a business for ourselves. We got something like a few website development offers and that has motivated us further. But we are not really going to stick to web development as such and want to get into customized application development and software deployment. I recently saw a message in the "NCR Python Users Group India" discussing Data Mining tool for collecting data from Excel Documents and displaying them on web pages. I think these are some untapped areas of software deployment, at least here in India. So, now the questions in my mind are: 1. Can we really survive as a company creating application specific or customized software for situations like the one I have mentioned above? 2. Is there really market for such software and services in India? Kindly keep in mind FOSS. 3. If there is a possibility to survive. Are we going to be judged by the work we do or by the industry experience we have or supposed to have? (Remember I am still at college) 4. At last, how much are we going to be paid for these kind of jobs? Keeping in mind that depends on the quality of work we do and our ability to negotiate, I would like to know the scale where I would be starting. I request whoever reading this mail to give your views and ideas. P.S: If possible repost this mail in the mailing lists you prefer appropriate. I do not know anyone in the field of software or startup as of now. -- Regards P.Arunmozhi Twitter: @tecoholic Website: http://arunmozhi.in

[Ncr-Python.in] Executing js/ajax in a sandboxed environment
by Rohan Malhotra Feb. 27, 2011

Feb. 27, 2011

I need to parse a url for it's content in python. I want to execute all js of html page associated with the url and then parse for the content so that javascript induced changes in content are also present. I was wondering if there is a way to execute js associated in page in sandbox environment before I start parsing it. BeautifulSoup library only fetches source of page. I need the access to DOM after js execution with url as input parameter. -- Regards Rohan

Re: [Ncr-Python.in] developing a data mining tool, along with a webserver
by Rohan Malhotra Feb. 25, 2011

Feb. 25, 2011

Copying python mailing list for more suggestions :-) Start with installing webserver like apache and db. For web development, use a framework like web2py or Django. I have been using web2py for quite some time and it is very simple and follows the MVC architecture and pretty good integration with database layer. Django has been around for a long time and has pretty big user base when compared to web2py. Web2py is comparatively new. You can choose either of these frameworks. You can of course avoid using any framework all together but frameworks makes your life little simpler and it will be easier for you as you have not done anything for web before. For data mining tool, you need good knowledge of db. Processing of data can be done very easily in python layer. You can check out http://wiki.python.org/moin/NumericAndScientific/Plotting for graphs/charts etc. -- Regards Rohan On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 4:19 PM, vijay shanker <deontics(a)gmail.com> wrote: > hi, > hav been coding with python for arn 2 yrs.. never did nething for web.. > bascally into application development..coding frm arn 4 years.. > vijay > > > > On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 1:34 PM, Rohan Malhotra <yourbuddyrohan(a)gmail.com>wrote: > >> can you tell me at about your conform level with python?

[Ncr-Python.in] led style button widget and other queries
by hildebrand victor Feb. 25, 2011

Feb. 25, 2011

Hi I need a led style button widget using python+wxwindows. The button should switch between green and red colours on clicking. it should be possible to change the colours by program as well. Has anyone attempted such a thing earlier? Also, is a thread alone enough to update gui? what are the latencies usually seen on different platforms? Looking forward to your replies. Best Regards HB
