import operator reduce(operator.mul, [10, 5, -3]) # Out: -150

reduce will not terminate the iteration before the iterable has been completly iterated over so it can be used to create a non short-circuit any() or all() function: import operator # non short-circuit "all" reduce(operator.and_, [False, True, True, True]) # = False # non short-circu...

# First falsy element or last element if all are truthy: reduce(lambda i, j: i and j, [100, [], 20, 10]) # = [] reduce(lambda i, j: i and j, [100, 50, 20, 10]) # = 10 # First truthy element or last element if all falsy: reduce(lambda i, j: i or j, [100, [], 20, 0]) # = 100 reduce(la...

Publish and Subscribe for Node.JS Install PubNub NPM Package. npm install [email protected] Example Publish Subscribe with Node.JS var channel = "hello_world"; var pubnub = require("pubnub")({ publish_key : "your_pub_key" , subscribe_key : "your_sub_ke...

When it comes to adding/removing channels to/from your channel groups, you need to have must have the manage permission for those channel groups. But you should never grant clients the permission to manage the channel groups that they will subscribe to. If they did, then they could add any channel t...

For example, you can take the absolute value of each element: list(map(abs, (1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3))) # the call to `list` is unnecessary in 2.x # Out: [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3] Anonymous function also support for mapping a list: map(lambda x:x*2, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) # Out: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] or convert...

For example calculating the average of each i-th element of multiple iterables: def average(*args): return float(sum(args)) / len(args) # cast to float - only mandatory for python 2.x measurement1 = [100, 111, 99, 97] measurement2 = [102, 117, 91, 102] measurement3 = [104, 102, 95, 101] ...

If the function parameter is None, then the identity function will be used: list(filter(None, [1, 0, 2, [], '', 'a'])) # discards 0, [] and '' # Out: [1, 2, 'a'] Python 2.x2.0.1 [i for i in [1, 0, 2, [], '', 'a'] if i] # equivalent list comprehension Python 3.x3.0.0 (i for i in [1, 0...

filter (python 3.x) and ifilter (python 2.x) return a generator so they can be very handy when creating a short-circuit test like or or and: Python 2.x2.0.1 # not recommended in real use but keeps the example short: from itertools import ifilter as filter Python 2.x2.6.1 from future_built...

There is a complementary function for filter in the itertools-module: Python 2.x2.0.1 # not recommended in real use but keeps the example valid for python 2.x and python 3.x from itertools import ifilterfalse as filterfalse Python 3.x3.0.0 from itertools import filterfalse which works...

[0-9] and \d are equivalent patterns (unless your Regex engine is unicode-aware and \d also matches things like ②). They will both match a single digit character so you can use whichever notation you find more readable. Create a string of the pattern you wish to match. If using the \d notation, you...

Exponentiation can be used by using the builtin pow-function or the ** operator: 2 ** 3 # 8 pow(2, 3) # 8 For most (all in Python 2.x) arithmetic operations the result's type will be that of the wider operand. This is not true for **; the following cases are exceptions from this rule: B...

The math-module contains another math.pow() function. The difference to the builtin pow()-function or ** operator is that the result is always a float: import math math.pow(2, 2) # 4.0 math.pow(-2., 2) # 4.0 Which excludes computations with complex inputs: math.pow(2, 2+0j) TypeErro...

Both the math and cmath-module contain the Euler number: e and using it with the builtin pow()-function or **-operator works mostly like math.exp(): import math math.e ** 2 # 7.3890560989306495 math.exp(2) # 7.38905609893065 import cmath cmath.e ** 2 # 7.3890560989306495 cmath.exp(2) # (...

The math module contains the expm1()-function that can compute the expression math.e ** x - 1 for very small x with higher precision than math.exp(x) or cmath.exp(x) would allow: import math print(math.e ** 1e-3 - 1) # 0.0010005001667083846 print(math.exp(1e-3) - 1) # 0.0010005001667083846 p...

Supposing you have a class that stores purely integer values: class Integer(object): def __init__(self, value): self.value = int(value) # Cast to an integer def __repr__(self): return '{cls}({val})'.format(cls=self.__class__.__name__, ...

A submodule references a specific commit in another repository. To check out the exact state that is referenced for all submodules, run git submodule update --recursive Sometimes instead of using the state that is referenced you want to update to your local checkout to the latest state of that s...

You can have multiple versions of Xcode installed at the same time (including beta versions). Simply rename the application in Finder to avoid conflicts. Note: Installing Xcode from the App Store will tend to overwrite an existing version on your machine. You can also install Xcode from a direct ...
