What's the Name of the Python Module that Formats arbitrary Text to nicely looking HTML? | 117,477 | <p>A while ago I came across a Python library that formats regular text to HTML similar to Markdown, reStructuredText and Textile, just that it had no syntax at all. It detected indentatations, quotes, links and newlines/paragraphs only.</p>

How do I read an Excel file into Python using xlrd? Can it read newer Office formats? | 118,516 | <p>My issue is below but would be interested comments from anyone with experience with xlrd.</p>
<p>I just found xlrd and it looks like the perfect solution but I'm having a little problem getting started.

A few points:</p>

<li><p>The file ComponentReport-DJI.xls is misnamed; it is not an XLS file, it is a tab-separated-values file. Open it with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and you'll see what I mean. You can also look at the not... | 25 | 2009-03-29T14:21:13Z | [

What is wrong with my snap to grid code? | 118,540 | <p>First of all, I'm fairly sure snapping to grid is fairly easy, however I've run into some odd trouble in this situation and my maths are too weak to work out specifically what is wrong.</p>

<pre><code>def positionChanged(self, newPos):
self.snappedPos = snapToGrid(newPos, Y_OFFSET, Y_STEP)

<p>I guess you are off by one pixel because of the accuracy problems during float division. Try changing your snapToGrid() to this:</p>

<p>Will give you the mtime. I suggest fixing those in <code>walk_results[2]</code>, and then recursing, calling the function for each dir in <code>walk_results[1]</code>.</p>

Is there a way to convert indentation in Python code to braces? | 118,643 | <p>I am a totally blind programmer who would like to learn Python.
