Using Eclipse for Python with Pydev

So far I have been using gedit in my Ubuntu machine for Python coding. And I am very happy with it. :) But next week I am going to start another Python project (using Django) and I have decided to use Eclipse as the IDE. I have heard good things about it. So just installed pydev in Eclipse. Let me share some helpful links.

1. Pydev in Eclipse market place.

2. Step by step solution for configuring Eclipse for Python.

3. Pydev home page.

Hope you will find this post useful.

I'm probably a little goofy in this regard, but I've found Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor) to be a good option, even though I'm running Linux Mint with a XFCE/Gnome desktop.

In essence, I get all the nice formatting options Kate offers, a terminal window for running programs, etc...

I'm using Eclipse as well. Kate is excellent, yes, but if you're running GNOME you'd have to install all the KDE libraries. Most people would prefer to keep the number of packages on their system to a minimum.

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
