<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580749 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/assertions/">assertions</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/comprehension/">comprehension</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dict/">dict</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dictionaries/">dictionaries</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dict_comp/">dict_comp</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python2/">python2</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/tuple/">tuple</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unpack/">unpack</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to take a string as input and classify the characters in it as vowels, consonants or neither. The frequency of each vowel is calculated and the frequency of all the consonants in total is calculated. The program logic is fairly simple, and uses a dictionary comprehension and a dict; the more interesting thing about it, is that it illustrates 8 Python language features in under 35 lines of code.</p> <p>More details and sample output here:</p> <p><a href="https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2017/01/classifying-letters-and-counting-their.html" rel="nofollow">https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2017/01/classifying-letters-and-counting-their.html</a></p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577933 by <a href="/recipes/users/4179778/">Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/color/">color</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/curses/">curses</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/distcc/">distcc</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/distributed/">distributed</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/monitor/">monitor</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pack/">pack</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/struct/">struct</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/top/">top</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unpack/">unpack</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>A small recipe for a curses based, 'top'-like monitor for DistCC. I know there is already distccmon-text, but I don't like it, and much prefer this sytle of monitoring. Note that I don't keep hosts around in the list like distccmon-gui/gnome. The screen is drawn for exactly what is currently in state. The terminal size is respected at initialization time, however resize events aren't handled. There is color designation of job types.</p>
