Python Console in gedit

Being an Ubuntu user gedit is my default editor for programming (sometimes I use netbeans though). Today I found a post where the author wrote about gedit plugins. I just played with it a bit and found that it has a Python Console! This is really interesting.

You can also try installing the plugin:
sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins

Now go to: 
edit > preferences > plugins
and select which plugins you want and enable the side pane & bottom pane from the view menue.

The most useful one for me is the shippets plugin. I have it set up so all I have to do is type "debug[tab]" and it prints this:

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

Very useful.

Gedit has had this for some time now. The great thing about this is try "dir(window)" and see all the things that you can manipulate about gedit. You will need to understand the pygtk api to use them. Another great addition by way of plugin is the terminal that appears next to the python console.

Kate has a terminal(standard) too. As a kde(4) user, kate has my preference.
I simply don't like the ugly GTK(+) style.

Strip HTML tags using Python

We often need to strip HTML tags from string (or HTML source). I usually do it using a simple regular expression in Python. Here is my function to strip HTML tags: def remove_html_tags(data): p = re.compile(r'<.*?>') return p.sub('', data) Here is another function to remove more than one consecutive white spaces: def remove_extra_spaces(data): p = re.compile(r'\s+') return p.sub(' ', data) Note that re module needs to be imported in order to use regular expression. Here you can find an updated code that gets the text from html: http://love-python.blogspot.com/2011/04/html-to-text-in-python.html

lambda magic to find prime numbers

Find prime number up to 100 with just 3 lines of code. The 4th line is for printing ;) nums = range(2, 100) for i in range(2, 10):     nums = filter(lambda x: x == i or x % i, nums) print nums Isn't it amazing? Check my new post about Prime number: http://love-python.blogspot.com/2010/11/prime-number-generator-in-python-using.html

Convert text to ASCII and ASCII to text - Python code

Python has a very simple way to convert text to ASCII and ASCII to text. To find the ASCII value of a character use the ord() function. Example: >>> ord('B') 66 To get a character from it's ASCII value use the chr() function. Example: >>> chr(65) 'A' Here is a program to get the list of all characters along with their values: # program to print the list of characters and their ASCII values for value in range(0, 255): print "ASCII Value:", value, "\t", "Character:", chr(value), "\n" Here is another simple ASCII encoding-decoding program: # Convertion from text to ASCII codes message = raw_input("Enter message to encode: ") print "Decoded string (in ASCII):" for ch in message: print ord(ch), print "\n\n" # Convertion from ASCII codes to text message = raw_input("Enter ASCII codes: ") decodedMessage = "" for item in message.split(): decodedMessage += chr
