With the HelpMaker, once you finish writing/updating the comments, the help messages are ready. One more reason to work on your comments =)</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Hard and soft k-means implemented simply in python (with numpy). Quick and dirty, tested and works on large (10k+ observations, 2-10 features) real-world data.</p>

Sitze</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/assertions/">assertions</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/testing/">testing</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unittests/">unittests</a>). </p> <p>When building unit tests for modules many times using PyUnit feels like overkill. This is a simple implementation for testing single file modules.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Sometime pprint module is not enough for formatting data for console or log file output. This module provide function which fill the gap.</p> <p><strong>Sample function call:</strong></p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>nums = [ '1', '2', '3', '4' ] speeds = [ '100', '10000', '1500', '12' ] desc = [ '', 'label 1', 'none', 'very long description' ] lines = format_table( [(nums, ALIGN_RIGHT|PADDING_ALL, 'NUM'), (speeds, ALIGN_RIGHT|PADDING_ALL, 'SPEED'), (desc, ALIGN_LEFT|PADDING_ALL, 'DESC')] ) </code></pre> <p><strong>Output:</strong></p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>======================================= | NUM | SPEED | DESC | ======================================= | 1 | 100 | | | 2 | 10000 | label 1 | | 3 | 1500 | none | | 4 | 12 | very long description | ======================================= </code></pre>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Provide way to add timeout specifications to arbitrary functions.</p> <p>There are many ways to add a timeout to a function, but no solution is both cross-platform and capable of terminating the procedure. This module use the multiprocessing module to solve both of those problems.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 519635 by <a href="/recipes/users/1985807/">Steven Bethard</a> . Revision 4. </p> <p>This recipe introduces a __finalize__ method along with a __finalattrs__ class attribute which can be used for simple finalization without all the complications that __del__ currently creates.</p> <p>Simply list any instance attributes that need to be available for finalization in the __finalattrs__ class attribute. When the instance is garbage collected, the __finalize__ method will be called with an object exposing just the __finalattrs__ attributes.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 496730 by <a href="/recipes/users/2897303/">Costas Malamas</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). </p> <p>QuackTemplate.Wrapper is a template helper class: it takes arbitrary Python objects and uses__gettitem__ so that the wrapped object can be passed into the standard Python string substitution mechanism. It can follow method calls, dict keys and list members (to some extent).</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 425529 by <a href="/recipes/users/2482534/">Scott Tsai</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/web/">web</a>). </p> <p>This recipe uses the mechanize module to grab the "number of projects per progamming language" information from two large opensource software release sites. The information is interesting when comparing popularity of programming languages.</p>
