Post: RE: Numeric Enigma Machine

    Thread: Numeric Enigma Machine
Post: RE: Numeric Enigma Machine

Think of it this way. Imagine you have a very simplified rotor: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] This is five straight lines. 0->0, 1->1 etc... What happens when the rotor is moved one click down? Nothin...

Post: RE: Numeric Enigma Machine

When you shift the array, you are changing how the inputs map to the identical outputs. But I think in your problem thats not how rotors work. As an example the first line on R1 maps input 0 to ...

    Thread: Speeding up code using cache

I think creating your own is the way to go here. lru_cache doesn't have any method to invalidate individual entries. Even if it did, you'd already have to have to stat the file and manage the logi...

Post: RE: urllib can't find "parse"

Just because modules share a namespace or package doesn't mean you can import the top of the namespace and see everything. In this case, urllib isn't a module and it doesn't do anything useful if im...

Why are you uploading it with a UUID name instead of the original name? If the original name is safe to rename it to, it's presumably just as safe to upload it that way. But in both cases you'd wan...

Doing regex on HTML is super annoying. Use an HTML parser instead (like beautifulsoup). Your regex is anchored at the front of the string. If your new_file_content contains the entire file, then t...

On line 4, you input() num. That means you have a string. On line 7 and 8, you test if the string can be interpreted as an integer, but you don't change anything. So num is still a string. So in t...

Post: RE: Comparing List values to get indexes

The only print statements are in a conditional when they are set to 1. So you will never see anything that says it is 0. You're printing every time it's set to 1, not just at the end. I think your ...

The first argument of any method is the object itself (which is usually termed self in the argument list). Any other arguments you give come after that. So when you do: example_class_object.set_exam...

What do you mean by object references? A name that the object has been assigned to or something else? Can you show how your dict is constructed?

If you want to use the DB, why are you closing it in get_db? What's the purpose of the db.close() there? If you want to close it on an exception, put that in the exception block, not a finally bloc...

I don't think it's documented beyond "don't modify objects while you're iterating over them". The iterator may do odd things in those cases. Python sets are hash tables that are dynamically sized. ...
