<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577679 by <a href="/recipes/users/4167472/">Romain Dartigues</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/ascii/">ascii</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sort/">sort</a>). </p> <p>I wrote this after reading The Alphanum Algorithm (<a href="http://www.davekoelle.com/alphanum.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.davekoelle.com/alphanum.html</a>) by David Koelle a few years ago; my goal was to improve the performances of the Python version of his scripts.</p> <p>My version is approximatly 10 times faster than it's <code>alphanum.py</code> and about 3 times faster than the <code>alphanum.py_v2.4</code> on my computer, yielding the same results (for non-unicode at least).</p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: see the version of wizkid in the comments which is even faster.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Resize a rectangle (ie.: an image) while keeping the aspect ratio, without float.</p> <p>You can scale up and down the proportions so the edges will be either <strong>at most</strong> or <strong>at least</strong> the given one.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>The Python <code>mailbox.mbox</code> class require a real file to initialize, which was an issue in my case. These simple functions let you iter through a mailbox read from a read-only file descriptor (like <code>sys.stdin</code>).</p> <p>This script use the generators which were introduced in Python-2.2. Let me know if you are interested a similar functionnality on older Python versions.</p>
