turtle triangle fun

Just Wrote this piece of code. First just copy-paste the code, run and have fun. Then try to write it yourself and have more fun. :)

import turtle

def draw_triangle(side_length, depth):
    if depth == 0:
        return
    
    counter = 0
    while counter < 3:
        counter += 1
        brad.forward(side_length/2)
        if depth > 1:
            brad.left(120)
        draw_triangle(side_length/2, depth-1)
        brad.forward(side_length/2)
        
        brad.right(120)
        
    brad.left(240)
    
    

if __name__ == "__main__":
    window = turtle.Screen()
    window.bgcolor("white")
    
    brad = turtle.Turtle()
    brad.shape("turtle")
    brad.color("green", "green")
    brad.speed(5)
    
    brad.begin_fill()
    brad.right(120)
    brad.forward(128)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.forward(256)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.forward(256)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.forward(128)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.end_fill()
    brad.color("green", "white")
    brad.begin_fill()
    draw_triangle(128, 3)
    brad.end_fill()
    
    window.exitonclick()

Traceback (most recent call last):

window = turtle.Screen()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Screen'

What python version you use? I tried 2.7.6 and 3.4 (linuxmint).

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

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

Accept-Encoding 'gzip' to make your cralwer faster

Image
If you are looking for a way to make your web crawler / spider work faster, then you must be looking for reducing the time to fetch data from the Internet. Fortunately many websites provide the content in compressed format if the server gets such type of request. If you see the request header of Firefox (you can use firebug to see the request / response headers), you can find that it always asks for gzip content. If the server provides gzip, then it sends data in gzip form otherwise it sends html. gzip data reduces bandwidth and thus make the program to scrape / harvest data faster. So you can do the same from you Python code. Just add ('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip,deflate') in the request header. Check the following code chunk: opener = urllib2.build_opener() opener.addheaders = [('Referer', referer), ('User-Agent', uagent), ('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip,deflate')] usock = opener.open(url) url = usock.geturl() data = decode(usock) usock.c...
