Clear Only Project Modules (Python)

2014-12-17T19:03:15-08:00

Python recipe 578982 by Cornelius Jatniel Prinsloo (clear, modules, project, reload, script, startup).

Useful for python sessions that have a long startup time because of external dependancies [In my case that would be pygame and pymunk] I've got a slow computer so it takes a while to startup this is the solution I came up with

import this before any other of your project imports example: import reloading # The modules in your project folder get cleared then load the rest of your project modules

make sure that the reloading script is in your project folder, or else it won't work

You might be able to extend this by changing line

Python script to create a header for Python scripts (Python)

2011-10-02T15:45:11-07:00

Python recipe 577846 by userend (2, auto, create, emacs, header, linux, python, script, vim). Revision 5.

This will create a header for a Python script. It is a nice way keep a track of what your script does and when it was created, the author of the script, etc..

Update: Now, it will automatically open with one of the two most popular editors, Vim or Emacs! This script has been updated from the second version to replace spaces with underscores in the title, to convert uppercase to lowercase. It also checks to see if there is a script with the same name in the current working directory so it will not overwrite another file. Please leave comments and suggestions.

A Script that Adds a Directory to sys.path Permanently (Python)

Python recipe 578043 by Eric Snow (script, sys_path).

This script takes advantage of PEP 370, "Per user site-packages directory". It manages .pth files, which are are non-volatile (unlike manually adding to sys.path). See http://docs.python.org/library/site.html.

Paster Run Script (Python)

2011-04-20T13:22:49-07:00

Python recipe 577669 by Nick Holden (script).

If you are like me and your company has a custom piece of software for managing processes, you have your paster app installed in egg form in a virtualenv, then you might have a hard time running a paster server (turbogears 2) within those limits.

As I had so much trouble writing this I thought I would share. You can add this as a console script in your egg, then run it as --prod or --dev. When run as --prod it adds a signal handler so that if it is sigtermed by the "supervisor" program then it will kill off the rest of the paster processes (they usually don't get stopped if the main running process is killed).

The script is pretty rough and expects the production.ini to be in your package's main folder, with the development.ini being in the same directory as the setup.py (one directory above the production.ini). Make sure you change my_paster_package to be whatever your project is called, like "movies" from the turbogears example

Of course if someone has a better way of doing this that would be great too! (wsgi isn't an option for me, and it seems difficult to set it up when your project is installed as an egg)

Python script main line for graceful exception handling and logging (Python)

2010-09-11T05:46:59-07:00

Python recipe 577258 by Trent Mick (error, logging, main, mainline, script). Revision 5.

This is a recipe is often use for the mainline of my Python scripts. With this recipe your Python script will:

gracefully handle Ctrl+C (i.e. KeyboardInterrupt)
log an error (using the logging module) for uncaught exceptions, importantly with the file and line number in your Python code where the exception was raised
gracefully ignore a closed output pipe (common when the user pipes your script through less and terminates that)
if your script logger is enabled for DEBUG level logging, a full traceback will be shown for an uncaught exception

Presumptions:

you have a global log variable a la:

import logging
log = logging.setLevel("scriptname")

your script's entry point is a function def main(argv): ...
