...). The most common reason to want such a type is when memoizing function calls for functions with unknown arguments. The most common solution to store a hashable equivalent of a dict (where the values are hashable) is something like tuple(sorted(kwargs.iteritems())). This depends on the sorting n...

.... This is the closest equivalent to Java's final. However, it does not actually prevent reassignment: from typing import Final a: Final = 1 # Executes fine, but mypy will report an error if you run mypy on this: a = 2 sha...

...a unary operator (taking a single argument) that is borrowed from C, where all data types are just different ways of interpreting bytes. It is the "invert" or "complement" operation, in which all the bits of the input data are reversed. In Python, for integers, the bits of the twos-complement repr...

...butes, the short answer is: no. The problem is that the attributes are actually defined as the arguments accepted by the getattr built-in function. As the user can reimplement __getattr__, suddenly allowing any kind of attribute, there is no possible generic way to generate that list. The dir functi...

...d again. This is a debugging aid that increases memory use (no object is really released) but improves error reporting. A typical case is when you over-release an object and you don't know which one: With zombies: -[UITableView release]: message sent to deallocated instance Without zombies: ...

Using nginx, I want to preserve the url, but actually load the same page no matter what. I will use the url with History.getState() to route the requests in my javascript app. It seems like it should be a simple thing to do? ...

...erface that I want to deprecate with portable C++. When I Googled for this all I got was a Microsoft specific solution; #pragma deprecated and __declspec(deprecated) . ...

...m another activity with startActivityForResult. In that case you can just call the finishActivity() function from your code and it'll take you back to the previous activity. Keep track of the activity stack. Whenever you start a new activity with an intent you can specify an intent flag like FLAG_AC...

...ples: my_tuple = (1,2,3,4,5) len(my_tuple) # 5 And strings, which are really just arrays of characters: my_string = 'hello world' len(my_string) # 11 It was intentionally done this way so that lists, tuples and other container types or iterables didn't all need to explicitly implement a public...

...in code at which this exception is raised isn't helpful, the corruption usually occurred well before the damage is detected. Finding the exact cause for this is going to be difficult. Review any unmanaged code your service might be using. Suspect environmental problems if there is no obvious cand...
