There is an interesting topic in the python.list about comparing two strings deiregarding whitespace without re. As the discussion went on, there cames two different requirements:
normalize whitespace That is, “a\n b c” == “a b \n c” but “ab c” <> “a bc”
totally ignore withespace Both “a\n b […]
There is an article on wired news about a new game, playsh. It is like a MUD but you can do python programming in it. Looks a good way to learn Python programming.
I didn’t play too much with MUD in the old 1990s days but this looks interesting. However there are two requirements for the […]
the key is, unicode in Python is an object, unicode(str, “utf-8″) makes that object from an utf-9 str, and str.encode(”utf-8″) encode a string to the utf-8 encoding.
To write unicode-aware python code, I’ll need to:
when getting data, use unicode(str, “the_encoding”) to get an unicode object
use unicode object inside my program, like all internal strings should be […]
import codecs
fp = codecs.open(fileName, "r", "utf-8")
fp.read()

Well I think it’s the time for setting up a bug tracking system. There are 4 candidates: bugzilla, gnats, roundup, and trac.
Gnats is the most promising one before I started: It has been used for a long time and stable, it’s written in C, use a plain file system based database, and it is said […]
I need to change this line from
true_encoding = http_encoding or ‘us-ascii’
to
true_encoding = http_encoding or xml_encoding or ‘us-ascii’
for those buggy sites that don’t obey the standard. And set content type to text/* but don’t offer a charset, set their encoding in the xml file.

According to the XML spec http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-EncodingDecl whitespace is allowed around the quotes of encoding Here is a simple patch:

Looks Feedparser was written with Python 2.3. With python 2.4, the CJKcodecs is included in the official release. So the line
import cjkcodecs.aliases
should be changed to
import encodings.aliases

Well this is not an easy one.
The unpickling is as easy as it should:
import pickle
f = open(”banner.p”, “r”)
x = pickle.load(f)
But after that I was lost. x is a list of lists, with 23 items, each item are constructed with one or more tuples, each tuple has two elements: one ” ” or “#”, and one […]
