First of all, `is_anonymous()` and `is_authenticated()` are each other's inverse. You could define one as the negation of the other, if you want. You can use these two methods to determine if a user is logged in. When nobody is logged in Flask-Login's `current_user` is set to an `AnonymousUser` object. This object re...

[ "python", "cython" ]
In order to get fast division in cython, I can use the compiler directive ``` @cython.cdivision(True) ``` This works, in that the resulting c code has no zero division checking. However for some reason it is actually making my code slower. Here is an example: ``` @cython.boundscheck(False) @cython.wraparound(False) ...
Firstly, you need to call the functions many (>1000) times, and take an average of the time spent in each, to get an accurate idea of how different they are. Calling each function once will not be accurate enough. Secondly, the time spent in the function will be affected by other things, not just the loop with divisio...

For example. ``` a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,1,6,1]) print np.argmin(a) ``` This gives me 0, instead I am expecting, 0,5,7. Thanks!
This should do the trick: ``` a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,1,6,1]) print np.where(a == a.min()) ``` argmin doesn't return a list like you expect it to in this case.

I'm trying to get my head around the datetime module. I know the time now as an epoch and the time an event last happened (as an epoch time). What I need to do is figure out whether that event happened between midnight and midnight of yesterday. ``` t = time.time() # is now t2 = 1234567890 # some arbitrary time from m...
Generating the last midnight is easy: ``` from datetime import datetime, date, time midnight = datetime.combine(date.today(), time.min) ``` That combines today's date, together with [`time.min`](http://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#datetime.time.min) to form a `datetime` object at midnight.

What's strange, by using other xpath rule the crawler works properly. ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/...
That's a bug caused by the web page using the `&raquo;` entity which is translated by `lxml` to the unicode character `\xbb` and when you use the `restrict_xpaths` argument the link extractors encodes the content to the original encoding `iso8859-2` which fails because `\xbb` is not valid character in that encoding.

One solution is to temporarily enable swap on your micro instance. As described at this [SO post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17173972/how-do-you-add-swap-to-an-ec2-instance), enable 1gb swap via: ``` sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024 sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1 sudo /sbin/swapon /var/...

This is not a programming question, but here goes: integral equations are quite often numerically badly conditioned. Indeed, in your case, ``` u, s, vh = linalg.svd(A) print(s.max()/s.min()) # -> 4.03758642411e+16 ``` This is the condition number, and it's huge. The matrix `A` is nearly singular, so there will be a ...

You can simply reshape the array. ``` >>> a.reshape(-1,a.shape[-1]) array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]]) ``` The shown code returns a 1D array, to do this: ``` >>> a.ravel() array([1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4]) ``` Or, if you are sure you want to copy the array: ``` >>> a.flatten() array([1, 2, ...

There is nothing in the Python 2.x `file` object, or the Python 3.3 `io` classes, that lets you specify a custom delimiter for `readline`. (The `for line in file` is ultimately using the same code as `readline`.) But it's pretty easy to build it yourself. For example: ``` def delimited(file, delimiter='\n', bufsize=4...
