You can remove your initial `plt.figure()`. When calling `plt.subplots()` a new figure is created, so you first call doesn't do anything. The subplots command in the background will call `plt.figure()` for you, and any keywords will be passed along. So just add the `figsize` keyword to the `subplots()` command: ``` d...

Unfortunately, `ax.grid` is a bit confusing in this regard. (This is a design bug / common gotcha.) It turns the minor grid on, but the minor ticks are still turned off. What you need to do is call `plt.minorticks_on` or `ax.minorticks_on` in addition to calling `ax.grid(True, which='both')`.

If you plot multiple subplots, the `plt.subplots()` returns the axes in an array, that array allows indexing like you do with `ax[plot]`.

I resolved the issue by rewriting my Flask backend to answer with an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in my PUT response. Furthermore, I created an OPTIONS handler in my Flask app to answer the options method by following what I read in the http RFC. The return on the PUT method looks like this: ``` return restful....

With the [Flask-CORS](https://github.com/wcdolphin/flask-cors) module, you can do cross-domain requests **without changing your code**. ``` from flask.ext.cors import CORS app = Flask(__name__) cors = CORS(app, resources={r"/api/*": {"origins": "*"}}) ``` <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask-Cors>

I am using the Decimal library in python, and printing out the values using format(value,'f') , where value is a Decimal. I get numbers in the form 10.00000, which refelcts the precision on the decimal. I know that float supports is\_integer, but there seems to be a lack of a similar api for decimals. I was wondering i...
You could use the modulo operation to check if there is a non-integer remainder: ``` >>> Decimal('3.14') % 1 == 0 False >>> Decimal('3') % 1 == 0 True >>> Decimal('3.0') % 1 == 0 True ```

I am trying to find the union of set of sets. Specifically I want the union of the list of nodes for each key in the dictionary of `networkx` graphs called `periodic_gs`. I would like to use the `reduce` function as it seems reasonable to take the union of all `periodic_gs[x].nodes()` where `x` is a key of `periodic_gs...
You can use `set.union` like this: ``` >>> lis = [{1, 2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5}, {7, 3, 6}] >>> set().union(*lis) set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]) ``` Using `reduce`: ``` >>> reduce(set.union, lis) set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]) ``` For your code this should do it: ``` set().union(*(x.nodes() for x in periodic_gs.values())) reduc...

I don't know where you got the idea that "PyQt5 changed how the whole 'connect button to a slot' works", but it is completely and utterly wrong. There have been no such changes, as can be readily seen from the official PyQt documentation: * [PyQt4 Signals & Slots documentation](http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/n...

**And why is this?** In Python 2.x, you can't compare unicode to string directly for non-ascii characters.

It can be found inside HTML, but it's also a python keyword which causes this code to throw an error. So how do I do the following? ``` soup.findAll('ul', class="score") ```
Here is how to do it: ``` soup.find_all('ul', {'class':"score"}) ```
