Python: when does newlines get set in universal newlines mode?

+2 votes
260 views

I have a text file with Windows-style line terminators (rn) which I open in universal newlines mode (Python 2.7). I would expect the newlines attribute to be set after the first call to the readline() method, but apparently this is not the case:

>>> f=open('test_crlf', 'rU')
>>> f.newlines
>>> f.readline()
'foon'
>>> f.newlines
>>> f.readline()
'barn'
>>> f.newlines
'rn'

On the other hand, the newlines attribute gets set after the first call to readline() on a file with Unix-style line endings.

Is this a bug or a feature?

get negative from prod(x) when x is positive integers using python

I have a list of a list of integers. The lists are long so i cant really show an actual example of on of the lists, but I know that they contain only the integers 1,2,3,4. 

so for example. s2 = [[1,2,2,3,2,1,4,4],[2,4,3,2,3,1]]

I am calculating the product, sum, max, min.... of each list in s2 but I get negative or 0 for the product for a lot of the lists. (I am doing this in ipython) 

for x in s2: Â  Â  print(len = , len(x), sum = , sum(x), prod = , prod(x), max = , max(x), min = , min(x))
...
 (len = , 100, sum = , 247, prod = , 0, max = , 4, min = , 1) (len = , 100, sum = , 230, prod = , -4611686018427387904, max = , 4, min = , 1) (len = , 100, sum = , 261, prod = , 0, max = , 4, min = , 1)
 .....
 (prod =, 0, max =, 4, min =, 1) (prod =, 1729382256910270464, max =, 4, min =, 1) (prod =, 0, max =, 4, min =, 1)
....

Airplane mode control using Python?

I am trying to control Aeroplane mode on Android using Python code. I am running QPyPlus python. When I execute this code(that is widespread in the net), 

#!/usr/bin/python 
import android droid = android.Android()
# go to airplane mode
 droid.toggleAirplaneMode()

droid.makeToast('exiting')

I get the error 'no such attribute Android()'.

One important thing is, I want to be able to do this without the need to reboot the Android device and any other working solution is also fine long as it is invokeable through Python.
