<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578481 by <a href="/recipes/users/4183429/">Deepak</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/programs/">programs</a>). </p> <p>Just a little bit of hack: a linear equations solver using eval and built-in complex numbers:</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; solve("x - 2*x + 5*x - 46*(235-24) = x + 2") 3236.0 </code></pre>

I am not sure what the silliness is about but must have found the idea interesting to rewrite in Python. This is committed for archival to be run under Python 2.5 or later versions.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576598 by <a href="/recipes/users/2608421/">Stephen Chappell</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/programs/">programs</a>). </p> <p>After recently discovering the Utility Mill, I decided to create an automated tester that would check that the latest revision was still operating according to specifications. It checks the web site once a minute and displays status information as it runs. It is included here because it comes in three sections. The first section has several utility functions that you may find useful in your own applications. The actual test suite is located in the second section. The last section includes code that makes getting random text easy and fast (after an initial loading session). Hopefully, the first portion of the code may be of use to you.</p>

Revision 5. </p> <p>The recipe provides a method "describe" which takes a module as argument and describes classes, methods and functions in the module. The method/function description provides information on the function/method arguments using the inspect module.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 550804 by <a href="/recipes/users/4129454/">david decotigny</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/programs/">programs</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>The createFunction(sourceCode) below returns a python function that executes the given sourceCode (a string containing python code). The function, being a real python function, doesn't incur any overhead compared to any normal python function. And its environment is controlled: by default only safe operations are permitted (ie. map, reduce, filter, list, etc. ; others like import, open, close, eval, etc. are forbidden by default). But it is possible to extend this environment.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 544297 by <a href="/recipes/users/1458241/">Oliver Schoenborn</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/programs/">programs</a>). </p> <p>The timeit module (in Python standard library) is handy to find out how fast a statement takes to execute, but not very convenient to compare speed of several equivalent statements: too much typing, need to create a Timer object for each statement, etc, tedious. The timings module provides the times() function to make it super easy to compare several statements in one call.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 542192 by <a href="/recipes/users/636691/">Dirk Holtwick</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/programs/">programs</a>). </p> <p>If you want do distribute different modules in separate packages but under the same top directory that may be a problem when importing those modules. Since Python 2.5 the "pkgutil", described in the Python documentation under chapter 29.3, solves this problem.</p>
