    Problem installing Pylons on OS X

    I am reading chapter two of the Pylons book. In the text I am told to run:

    Code:
    $ python virtualenv.py --no-site-packages env
    This is what I got back:

      Need help translating Ruby code

      Hi I am new to Ruby from Python and am still learning some stuff. I
      have a Ruby program that uses the mechanize library to connect to a Web
      site and authenticate with a username and password. The issue I have is
      that I need to get this code translated into Python. The Python
      mechanize library is not very well documented and I was wondering if
      anyone here had any experience using this library in Ruby or Python.

          Thanks for the help. Your code by itself did not work, but it pushed me in the right direction. Here is what worked for me and let me see the protected pages:

          Code:
          #!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

import cookielib
import urllib
import urllib2

cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
resp = opener.open('http://schoolfinder.com')

            Help with cookies/authentication

            Hi I am trying to pull some data from a Web site: http://schoolfinder.com

            The issue is that I want to use the advanced search feature which requires logging into the Web site. I have a username and password, however I want to connect programmaticall y from Python. I have done data capture from the Web before so the only new thing here to me is the authentication stuff. I need cookies as this page describes: http://schoolfinder.com/...

              calling a function without changing scope

              Hi,

              My problem is that I have a large function with hundreds of lines. I want to break it apart into smaller functions. The issue is that if I make a module level function, the scope changes and I have to pass the necessary variables to it. This can be difficult if there are 10 variables that need to be passed. So basically I want to be able to call a function inside another function but keep the scope the same. I found a way to do...

                repetitive functions

                Hi,

                I've got about 10 functions that all share a bit of code. They all look something like this:

                [code=python]
                def func(arg):
                statement1
                statement2
                statement3

                unique code

                statement4
                statement5
                [/code]

                Each function does similar statements at the beginning and end, but has unique stuff in the middle. Is there a way for me to...
