A macro can call itself, like a function recursion: macro_rules! sum { ($base:expr) => { $base }; ($a:expr, $($rest:expr),+) => { $a + sum!($($rest),+) }; } Let's go though the expansion of sum!(1, 2, 3): sum!(1, 2, 3) // ^ ^~~~ // $a $rest => 1 + sum!(2, 3)...

If you need to match characters that are a part of the regular expression syntax you can mark all or part of the pattern as a regex literal. \Q marks the beginning of the regex literal. \E marks the end of the regex literal. // the following throws a PatternSyntaxException because of the un-close...

-- Create an index for column 'name' in table 'my_table' CREATE INDEX idx_name ON my_table(name);

A unique index prevents the insertion of duplicated data in a table. NULL values can be inserted in the columns that form part of the unique index (since, by definition, a NULL value is different from any other value, including another NULL value) -- Creates a unique index for column 'name' in tabl...

There is a limit to the depth of possible recursion, which depends on the Python implementation. When the limit is reached, a RuntimeError exception is raised: def cursing(depth): try: cursing(depth + 1) # actually, re-cursing except RuntimeError as RE: print('I recursed {} times!'....

To share files or to host simple websites(http and javascript) in your local network, you can use Python's builtin SimpleHTTPServer module. Python should be in your Path variable. Go to the folder where your files are and type: For python 2: $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer <portnumber> For p...

A typical use case for a filter is to remove values from an array. In this example we pass in an array and remove any nulls found in it, returning the array. function removeNulls() { return function(list) { for (var i = list.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { if (typeof list[i...

In Python 2, <> is a synonym for !=; likewise, `foo` is a synonym for repr(foo). Python 2.x2.7 >>> 1 <> 2 True >>> 1 <> 1 False >>> foo = 'hello world' >>> repr(foo) "'hello world'" >>> `foo` "'hello world'"...

This example starts Notepad, waits for it to be closed, then gets its exit code. #include <Windows.h> int main() { STARTUPINFOW si = { 0 }; si.cb = sizeof(si); PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = { 0 }; // Create the child process BOOL success = CreateProcessW( L"C:...

Pass dynamic inventory to ansible-playbook: ansible-playbook -i inventory/dyn.py -l targethost my_playbook.yml python inventory/dyn.py should print out something like this: { "_meta": { "hostvars": { "10.1.0.10": { "ansible_user": ...

Available in Django 1.9+ from django.contrib.postgres.fields import JSONField from django.db import models class IceCream(models.Model): metadata = JSONField() You can add the normal **options if you wish. ! Note that you must put 'django.contrib.postgres' in INSTALLED_APPS in your s...

Pass data in native Python form, for example list, dict, str, None, bool, etc. IceCream.objects.create(metadata={ 'date': '1/1/2016', 'ordered by': 'Jon Skeet', 'buyer': { 'favorite flavor': 'vanilla', 'known for': ['his rep on SO', 'writing a book'] }, ...

An integer will be interpreted as an index lookup. IceCream.objects.filter(metadata__buyer__known_for__0='creating stack overflow') See the note in the "Remarks" section about chaining queries.

To iterate all files, including in sub directories, use os.walk: import os for root, folders, files in os.walk(root_dir): for filename in files: print root, filename root_dir can be "." to start from current directory, or any other path to start from. Python 3.x3.5 If ...

Using subprocess.Popen give more fine-grained control over launched processes than subprocess.call. Launching a subprocess process = subprocess.Popen([r'C:\path\to\app.exe', 'arg1', '--flag', 'arg']) The signature for Popen is very similar to the call function; however, Popen will return immedi...

You can create a TCP server using the socketserver library. Here's a simple echo server. Server side from sockerserver import BaseRequestHandler, TCPServer class EchoHandler(BaseRequestHandler): def handle(self): print('connection from:', self.client_address) while True:...

A UDP server is easily created using the socketserver library. a simple time server: import time from socketserver import BaseRequestHandler, UDPServer class CtimeHandler(BaseRequestHandler): def handle(self): print('connection from: ', self.client_address) # Get message and cli...
