<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577518 by <a href="/recipes/users/4170757/">Eric Pruitt</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/algorithm/">algorithm</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/delta/">delta</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/diff/">diff</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/patch/">patch</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python3/">python3</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/rsync/">rsync</a>). Revision 4. </p> <p>This is a pure Python implementation of the <a href="http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/">rsync algorithm</a>. On my desktop (3.0GHz dual core, 7200RPM), best case throughput for target file hash generation and delta generation is around 2.9MB/s. Absolute worst case scenario (no blocks in common) throughput for delta generation is 200KB/s to 300KB/s on the same system.</p> <p>Tested in Python 2.5, 2.6, and 3.1. In 2.7, io.BufferedReader should yield the best throughput. On all other versions use __builtin__.open.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 475116 by <a href="/recipes/users/2637812/">Edward Loper</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>The curses module defines several functions (based on terminfo) that can be used to perform lightweight cursor control &amp; output formatting (color, bold, etc). These can be used without invoking curses mode (curses.initwin) or using any of the more heavy-weight curses functionality. This recipe defines a TerminalController class, which can make portable output formatting very simple. Formatting modes that are not supported by the terminal are simply omitted.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 347462 by <a href="/recipes/users/98735/">Jimmy Retzlaff</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/sysadmin/">sysadmin</a>). </p> <p>The new subprocess module in Python 2.4 (also available for 2.2 and 2.3 at <a href="http://effbot.org/downloads/#subprocess" rel="nofollow">http://effbot.org/downloads/#subprocess</a>) allows access to the handle of any newly created subprocess. You can use this handle to terminate subprocesses using either ctypes or the pywin32 extensions.</p>

Revision 5. </p> <p>This recipe suggests an idiom for property creation that avoids cluttering the class space with get/set/del methods that will not be used directly.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 146306 by <a href="/recipes/users/98656/">Wade Leftwich</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/web/">web</a>). </p> <p>A scripted web client that will post data to a site as if from a form using ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data". This is typically used to upload files, but also gets around a server's (e.g. ASP's) limitation on the amount of data that can be accepted via a standard POST (application/x-www-form-urlencoded).</p>
