When given the start of a string it searches the wordlist and returns the most popular word used beginning with that string. Designed to be used in autocomplete IM plugin where tab would cycle through used words beginning with the string, in order of popularity.

Part 1 of an autocomplete plugin designed for use in IMs. Not entirely finished since if two new words are used in one string then it doesn't add them correctly - starting with a full wordlist would reduce the chance of this occurring however.

A simple platformer written in python using pygame. It is still plagued with bugs at the moment. Pre-Alpha.

A simple anagram maker written in python. Automatically adds original word to wordlist.txt if it does not exist there already so it may be used in conjunction with the solver.

First post here. Tried to get the most minimalistic way to calculate the amount of permutations. The typical formula is:

n! = 1 * 2 * 3 ... * r * r + 1 * ... n
r! = 1 * 2 * 3 ... * r

But since every number between 1 and r is simplified, it's just a multiplication of the (x)range between r+1 and n.

Also as an example of lambda functions on python, and the reduce function, which takes every pair inside a list-type object and runs the function over them.

Create a regular expression pattern matching any positive number that is less than or equal to the given max number

Example:

pattern = createRegExNumberPattern( 950 )

print pattern

([0-8]\d\d)|(9[0-4]\d)|(950)

This module is a Python Library to support all IP2Location™ database products. It has been optimized for speed and memory utilization. Developers can use the API to qeury all IP2Location™ binary databases for applications written in Python.

This is snippet of code solves the interesting (and specialized) problem of generating all permutations of a list. I hope you like recursion. For exmaple:

permute( [0,1,2] )

would return

[[0,1,2],[0,2,1],[1,0,2],[1,2,0],[2,0,1],[2,1,0]]

This one-liner is great, it lists the commands you have used by popularity. At present, the 'cd' command wins in my history file with 140. Followed by ls (93) and ssh (56). What are your top 3 commands

Introduction
This function is a function that returns a function. You pass it a function, and it returns a function that takes a collection as a parameter and applies your function to it. The difference between this and map is that this returns a function that you can use again which takes a collection as a parameter.

For Example
If I had a collection c, and a function p that prints its argument, I can create a visitor function using the following:
printVisitor=createVisitor(p)

Then any time I want to print a collection I just type:
printVisitor(c)

A Better Example
If you were writing an IRC server you would probably have many functions that operated on a list of users, such as ban,makeop, etc. You could create those functions in a manor similar to the following:

banUsers=createVisitor(ban)
makeOperators=createVisitor(makeop)

Then in a seperate file you could use these functions as if they were regular functions.

you would type banUsers(users) to ban, or makeOperators(users) to promote those users.

Recursively removes files or directories with a given name, using find.

I most frequently use it to remove 'CVS' or '.svn' directories from sourcepackages that still have the versioning information in them.

Returns a safe copy if the value argument is mutable, otherwise returns the original argument. If the feedback keyword argument is True, then a tuple is returned containing the resulting argument, and whether or not is was mutable.
