47,331,969 | I'm trying to merge informations in two different data frames, but problem begins with uneven dimensions and trying to use not the column index but the information in the column. merge function in R or join's (dplyr) don't work with my data.
I have to dataframes (One is subset of the others with updated info in the last column):
`df1=data.frame(Name = print(LETTERS[1:9]), val = seq(1:3), Case = c("NA","1","NA","NA","1","NA","1","NA","NA"))`
```
Name val Case
1 A 1 NA

3 C 3 NA
4 D 1 NA
5 E 2 1
6 F 3 NA
7 G 1 1
8 H 2 NA
9 I 3 NA

Some rows in the `Case` column in `df1` have to be changed with the info in the `df2` below:
`df2 = data.frame(Name = c("A","D","H"), val = seq(1:3), Case = "1")`
```
Name val Case
1 A 1 1
2 D 2 1
3 H 3 1
```
So there's nothing important in the `val` column, however I added it into the examples since I want to indicate that I have more columns than two and also my real data is way bigger than the examples.
Basically, I want to change specific rows by checking the information in the first columns (in this case, they're unique letters) and in the end I still want to have `df1` as a final data frame.

```

3 C 3 NA
4 D 1 1
5 E 2 1

] | I think you'll be better off trying to use one cursor for all of your executions, and close it at the end of your code. It's easier to work with, and it might have efficiency benefits as well (don't quote me on that one).

cursor.execute("somestuff")
results = cursor.fetchall()

cursor.execute("someotherstuff")
results2 = cursor.fetchall()
..do stuff with results2
cursor.close()
```
The point is that you can store the results of a cursor's execution in another variable, thereby freeing your cursor to make a second execution. You run into problems this way only if you're using fetchone(), and need to make a second cursor execution before you've iterated through all results from the first query.
Otherwise, I'd say just close your cursors as soon as you're done getting all of the data out of them.

] | Instead of asking what is standard practice, since that's often unclear and subjective, you might try looking to the module itself for guidance. In general, using the `with` keyword as another user suggested is a great idea, but in this specific circumstance it may not give you quite the functionality you expect.
As of version 1.2.5 of the module, `MySQLdb.Connection` implements the [context manager protocol](http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#context-manager-types) with the following code ([github](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/blob/2204283605e8c450223965eda8d8f357d5fe4c90/MySQLdb/connections.py)):
```
def __enter__(self):
if self.get_autocommit():
self.query("BEGIN")
return self.cursor()
def __exit__(self, exc, value, tb):
if exc:
self.rollback()
else:
self.commit()
```
There are several existing Q&A about `with` already, or you can read [Understanding Python's "with" statement](http://effbot.org/zone/python-with-statement.htm), but essentially what happens is that `__enter__` executes at the start of the `with` block, and `__exit__` executes upon leaving the `with` block. You can use the optional syntax `with EXPR as VAR` to bind the object returned by `__enter__` to a name if you intend to reference that object later. So, given the above implementation, here's a simple way to query your database:
```
connection = MySQLdb.connect(...)
with connection as cursor: # connection.__enter__ executes at this line
cursor.execute('select 1;')
result = cursor.fetchall() # connection.__exit__ executes after this line
print result # prints "((1L,),)"
```
The question now is, what are the states of the connection and the cursor after exiting the `with` block? The `__exit__` method shown above calls only `self.rollback()` or `self.commit()`, and neither of those methods go on to call the `close()` method. The cursor itself has no `__exit__` method defined – and wouldn't matter if it did, because `with` is only managing the connection. Therefore, both the connection and the cursor remain open after exiting the `with` block. This is easily confirmed by adding the following code to the above example:
```
try:
cursor.execute('select 1;')
print 'cursor is open;',
except MySQLdb.ProgrammingError:
print 'cursor is closed;',
if connection.open:
print 'connection is open'
else:
print 'connection is closed'
```
You should see the output "cursor is open; connection is open" printed to stdout.

Why? The [MySQL C API](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/c-api-function-overview.html), which is the basis for `MySQLdb`, does not implement any cursor object, as implied in the module documentation: ["MySQL does not support cursors; however, cursors are easily emulated."](http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html#connection-objects) Indeed, the `MySQLdb.cursors.BaseCursor` class inherits directly from `object` and imposes no such restriction on cursors with regard to commit/rollback.

I expect that's as close as you're going to get to "standard practice" on this subject.

The overhead is negligible, and doesn't touch the database server at all; it's entirely within the implementation of MySQLdb. You can [look at `BaseCursor.__init__` on github](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/blob/master/MySQLdb/cursors.py) if you're really curious to know what's happening when you create a new cursor.
Going back to earlier when we were discussing `with`, perhaps now you can understand why the `MySQLdb.Connection` class `__enter__` and `__exit__` methods give you a brand new cursor object in every `with` block and don't bother keeping track of it or closing it at the end of the block. It's fairly lightweight and exists purely for your convenience.
If it's really that important to you to micromanage the cursor object, you can use [contextlib.closing](http://docs.python.org/2/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.closing) to make up for the fact that the cursor object has no defined `__exit__` method. For that matter, you can also use it to force the connection object to close itself upon exiting a `with` block. This should output "my\_curs is closed; my\_conn is closed":
```
from contextlib import closing
import MySQLdb
with closing(MySQLdb.connect(...)) as my_conn:
with closing(my_conn.cursor()) as my_curs:
my_curs.execute('select 1;')
result = my_curs.fetchall()
try:
my_curs.execute('select 1;')
print 'my_curs is open;',
except MySQLdb.ProgrammingError:
print 'my_curs is closed;',
if my_conn.open:
print 'my_conn is open'
else:
print 'my_conn is closed'
```
Note that `with closing(arg_obj)` will not call the argument object's `__enter__` and `__exit__` methods; it will *only* call the argument object's `close` method at the end of the `with` block. (To see this in action, simply define a class `Foo` with `__enter__`, `__exit__`, and `close` methods containing simple `print` statements, and compare what happens when you do `with Foo(): pass` to what happens when you do `with closing(Foo()): pass`.) This has two significant implications:
First, if autocommit mode is enabled, MySQLdb will `BEGIN` an explicit transaction on the server when you use `with connection` and commit or rollback the transaction at the end of the block. These are default behaviors of MySQLdb, intended to protect you from MySQL's default behavior of immediately committing any and all DML statements. MySQLdb assumes that when you use a context manager, you want a transaction, and uses the explicit `BEGIN` to bypass the autocommit setting on the server. If you're used to using `with connection`, you might think autocommit is disabled when actually it was only being bypassed. You might get an unpleasant surprise if you add `closing` to your code and lose transactional integrity; you won't be able to rollback changes, you may start seeing concurrency bugs and it may not be immediately obvious why.
Second, `with closing(MySQLdb.connect(user, pass)) as VAR` binds the *connection object* to `VAR`, in contrast to `with MySQLdb.connect(user, pass) as VAR`, which binds *a new cursor object* to `VAR`. In the latter case you would have no direct access to the connection object! Instead, you would have to use the cursor's `connection` attribute, which provides proxy access to the original connection. When the cursor is closed, its `connection` attribute is set to `None`. This results in an abandoned connection that will stick around until one of the following happens:
* All references to the cursor are removed
* The cursor goes out of scope
* The connection times out
* The connection is closed manually via server administration tools
You can test this by monitoring open connections (in Workbench or by [using `SHOW PROCESSLIST`](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/show-processlist.html)) while executing the following lines one by one:
```
with MySQLdb.connect(...) as my_curs:
pass
my_curs.close()
my_curs.connection # None
my_curs.connection.close() # throws AttributeError, but connection still open
del my_curs # connection will close here
``` | I suggest to do it like php and mysql. Start i at the beginning of your code before printing of the first data. So if you get a connect error you can display a `50x`(Don't remember what internal error is) error message. And keep it open for the whole session and close it when you know you wont need it anymore. |

] | Note: this answer is for [PyMySQL](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL), which is a drop-in replacement for MySQLdb and effectively the latest version of MySQLdb since MySQLdb stopped being maintained. I believe everything here is *also* true of the legacy MySQLdb, but haven't checked.
First of all, some facts:
* Python's [`with`](https://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#context-manager-types) syntax calls the context manager's `__enter__` method before executing the body of the `with` block, and its `__exit__` method afterwards.
* Connections have an [`__enter__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L831-L833) method that does nothing besides create and return a cursor, and an [`__exit__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L835-L840) method that either commits or rolls back (depending upon whether an exception was thrown). It *does not* close the connection.
* Cursors in PyMySQL are purely an abstraction implemented in Python; there is no equivalent concept in MySQL itself.1
* Cursors have an [`__enter__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L62-L63) method that doesn't do anything and an [`__exit__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L65-L67) method which "closes" the cursor (which just means nulling the cursor's reference to its parent connection and throwing away any data stored on the cursor).
* Cursors hold a reference to the connection that spawned them, but connections don't hold a reference to the cursors that they've created.
* Connections have a [`__del__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L750) method which closes them
* Per <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html>, CPython (the default Python implementation) uses reference counting and automatically deletes an object once the number of references to it hits zero.
Putting these things together, we see that naive code like this is *in theory* problematic:
```
# Problematic code, at least in theory!
import pymysql
with pymysql.connect() as cursor:
cursor.execute('SELECT 1')
# ... happily carry on and do something unrelated
```
The problem is that nothing has closed the connection. Indeed, if you paste the code above into a Python shell and then run `SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST` at a MySQL shell, you'll be able to see the idle connection that you created. Since MySQL's default number of connections is [151](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_connections), which isn't *huge*, you could theoretically start running into problems if you had many processes keeping these connections open.
However, in CPython, there is a saving grace that ensures that code like my example above *probably* won't cause you to leave around loads of open connections. That saving grace is that as soon as `cursor` goes out of scope (e.g. the function in which it was created finishes, or `cursor` gets another value assigned to it), its reference count hits zero, which causes it to be deleted, dropping the connection's reference count to zero, causing the connection's `__del__` method to be called which force-closes the connection. If you already pasted the code above into your Python shell, then you can now simulate this by running `cursor = 'arbitrary value'`; as soon as you do this, the connection you opened will vanish from the `SHOW PROCESSLIST` output.
However, relying upon this is inelegant, and theoretically might fail in Python implementations other than CPython. Cleaner, in theory, would be to explicitly `.close()` the connection (to free up a connection on the database without waiting for Python to destroy the object). This more robust code looks like this:
```
import contextlib
import pymysql
with contextlib.closing(pymysql.connect()) as conn:
with conn as cursor:
cursor.execute('SELECT 1')
```
This is ugly, but doesn't rely upon Python destructing your objects to free up your (finite available number of) database connections.
Note that closing the *cursor*, if you're already closing the connection explicitly like this, is entirely pointless.
Finally, to answer the secondary questions here:

Nope, instantiating a cursor doesn't hit MySQL at all and [basically does nothing](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L34-L47).

This is situational and difficult to give a general answer to. As <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/optimizing-innodb-transaction-management.html> puts it, *"an application might encounter performance issues if it commits thousands of times per second, and different performance issues if it commits only every 2-3 hours"*. You pay a performance overhead for every commit, but by leaving transactions open for longer, you increase the chance of other connections having to spend time waiting for locks, increase your risk of deadlocks, and potentially increase the cost of some lookups performed by other connections.

1 MySQL *does* have a construct it calls a [cursor](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/cursors.html) but they only exist inside stored procedures; they're completely different to PyMySQL cursors and are not relevant here. | I suggest to do it like php and mysql. Start i at the beginning of your code before printing of the first data. So if you get a connect error you can display a `50x`(Don't remember what internal error is) error message. And keep it open for the whole session and close it when you know you wont need it anymore. |

The point is that you can store the results of a cursor's execution in another variable, thereby freeing your cursor to make a second execution.

Otherwise, I'd say just close your cursors as soon as you're done getting all of the data out of them. That way you don't have to worry about tying up loose ends later in your code. |

] | Instead of asking what is standard practice, since that's often unclear and subjective, you might try looking to the module itself for guidance. In general, using the `with` keyword as another user suggested is a great idea, but in this specific circumstance it may not give you quite the functionality you expect.
As of version 1.2.5 of the module, `MySQLdb.Connection` implements the [context manager protocol](http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#context-manager-types) with the following code ([github](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/blob/2204283605e8c450223965eda8d8f357d5fe4c90/MySQLdb/connections.py)):
```
def __enter__(self):
if self.get_autocommit():
self.query("BEGIN")
return self.cursor()
def __exit__(self, exc, value, tb):
if exc:
self.rollback()
else:
self.commit()
```
There are several existing Q&A about `with` already, or you can read [Understanding Python's "with" statement](http://effbot.org/zone/python-with-statement.htm), but essentially what happens is that `__enter__` executes at the start of the `with` block, and `__exit__` executes upon leaving the `with` block. You can use the optional syntax `with EXPR as VAR` to bind the object returned by `__enter__` to a name if you intend to reference that object later. So, given the above implementation, here's a simple way to query your database:
```
connection = MySQLdb.connect(...)
with connection as cursor: # connection.__enter__ executes at this line
cursor.execute('select 1;')
result = cursor.fetchall() # connection.__exit__ executes after this line
print result # prints "((1L,),)"
```
The question now is, what are the states of the connection and the cursor after exiting the `with` block? The `__exit__` method shown above calls only `self.rollback()` or `self.commit()`, and neither of those methods go on to call the `close()` method. The cursor itself has no `__exit__` method defined – and wouldn't matter if it did, because `with` is only managing the connection. Therefore, both the connection and the cursor remain open after exiting the `with` block. This is easily confirmed by adding the following code to the above example:
```
try:
cursor.execute('select 1;')
print 'cursor is open;',
except MySQLdb.ProgrammingError:
print 'cursor is closed;',
if connection.open:
print 'connection is open'
else:
print 'connection is closed'
```
You should see the output "cursor is open; connection is open" printed to stdout.

Why? The [MySQL C API](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/c-api-function-overview.html), which is the basis for `MySQLdb`, does not implement any cursor object, as implied in the module documentation: ["MySQL does not support cursors; however, cursors are easily emulated."](http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html#connection-objects) Indeed, the `MySQLdb.cursors.BaseCursor` class inherits directly from `object` and imposes no such restriction on cursors with regard to commit/rollback.

The overhead is negligible, and doesn't touch the database server at all; it's entirely within the implementation of MySQLdb. You can [look at `BaseCursor.__init__` on github](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/blob/master/MySQLdb/cursors.py) if you're really curious to know what's happening when you create a new cursor.
Going back to earlier when we were discussing `with`, perhaps now you can understand why the `MySQLdb.Connection` class `__enter__` and `__exit__` methods give you a brand new cursor object in every `with` block and don't bother keeping track of it or closing it at the end of the block. It's fairly lightweight and exists purely for your convenience.
If it's really that important to you to micromanage the cursor object, you can use [contextlib.closing](http://docs.python.org/2/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.closing) to make up for the fact that the cursor object has no defined `__exit__` method. For that matter, you can also use it to force the connection object to close itself upon exiting a `with` block. This should output "my\_curs is closed; my\_conn is closed":
```
from contextlib import closing
import MySQLdb
with closing(MySQLdb.connect(...)) as my_conn:
with closing(my_conn.cursor()) as my_curs:
my_curs.execute('select 1;')
result = my_curs.fetchall()
try:
my_curs.execute('select 1;')
print 'my_curs is open;',
except MySQLdb.ProgrammingError:
print 'my_curs is closed;',
if my_conn.open:
print 'my_conn is open'
else:
print 'my_conn is closed'
```
Note that `with closing(arg_obj)` will not call the argument object's `__enter__` and `__exit__` methods; it will *only* call the argument object's `close` method at the end of the `with` block. (To see this in action, simply define a class `Foo` with `__enter__`, `__exit__`, and `close` methods containing simple `print` statements, and compare what happens when you do `with Foo(): pass` to what happens when you do `with closing(Foo()): pass`.) This has two significant implications:
First, if autocommit mode is enabled, MySQLdb will `BEGIN` an explicit transaction on the server when you use `with connection` and commit or rollback the transaction at the end of the block. These are default behaviors of MySQLdb, intended to protect you from MySQL's default behavior of immediately committing any and all DML statements. MySQLdb assumes that when you use a context manager, you want a transaction, and uses the explicit `BEGIN` to bypass the autocommit setting on the server. If you're used to using `with connection`, you might think autocommit is disabled when actually it was only being bypassed. You might get an unpleasant surprise if you add `closing` to your code and lose transactional integrity; you won't be able to rollback changes, you may start seeing concurrency bugs and it may not be immediately obvious why.
Second, `with closing(MySQLdb.connect(user, pass)) as VAR` binds the *connection object* to `VAR`, in contrast to `with MySQLdb.connect(user, pass) as VAR`, which binds *a new cursor object* to `VAR`. In the latter case you would have no direct access to the connection object! Instead, you would have to use the cursor's `connection` attribute, which provides proxy access to the original connection. When the cursor is closed, its `connection` attribute is set to `None`. This results in an abandoned connection that will stick around until one of the following happens:
* All references to the cursor are removed
* The cursor goes out of scope
* The connection times out
* The connection is closed manually via server administration tools
You can test this by monitoring open connections (in Workbench or by [using `SHOW PROCESSLIST`](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/show-processlist.html)) while executing the following lines one by one:
```
with MySQLdb.connect(...) as my_curs:
pass
my_curs.close()
my_curs.connection # None
my_curs.connection.close() # throws AttributeError, but connection still open
del my_curs # connection will close here
``` | I think you'll be better off trying to use one cursor for all of your executions, and close it at the end of your code. It's easier to work with, and it might have efficiency benefits as well (don't quote me on that one).
```
conn = MySQLdb.connect("host","user","pass","database")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("somestuff")
results = cursor.fetchall()

results2 = cursor.fetchall()

``` | Note: this answer is for [PyMySQL](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL), which is a drop-in replacement for MySQLdb and effectively the latest version of MySQLdb since MySQLdb stopped being maintained. I believe everything here is *also* true of the legacy MySQLdb, but haven't checked.
First of all, some facts:
* Python's [`with`](https://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#context-manager-types) syntax calls the context manager's `__enter__` method before executing the body of the `with` block, and its `__exit__` method afterwards.
* Connections have an [`__enter__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L831-L833) method that does nothing besides create and return a cursor, and an [`__exit__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L835-L840) method that either commits or rolls back (depending upon whether an exception was thrown). It *does not* close the connection.
* Cursors in PyMySQL are purely an abstraction implemented in Python; there is no equivalent concept in MySQL itself.1
* Cursors have an [`__enter__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L62-L63) method that doesn't do anything and an [`__exit__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L65-L67) method which "closes" the cursor (which just means nulling the cursor's reference to its parent connection and throwing away any data stored on the cursor).
* Cursors hold a reference to the connection that spawned them, but connections don't hold a reference to the cursors that they've created.
* Connections have a [`__del__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L750) method which closes them
* Per <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html>, CPython (the default Python implementation) uses reference counting and automatically deletes an object once the number of references to it hits zero.
Putting these things together, we see that naive code like this is *in theory* problematic:
```
# Problematic code, at least in theory!
import pymysql
with pymysql.connect() as cursor:
cursor.execute('SELECT 1')
# ... happily carry on and do something unrelated
```
The problem is that nothing has closed the connection. Indeed, if you paste the code above into a Python shell and then run `SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST` at a MySQL shell, you'll be able to see the idle connection that you created. Since MySQL's default number of connections is [151](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_connections), which isn't *huge*, you could theoretically start running into problems if you had many processes keeping these connections open.
However, in CPython, there is a saving grace that ensures that code like my example above *probably* won't cause you to leave around loads of open connections. That saving grace is that as soon as `cursor` goes out of scope (e.g. the function in which it was created finishes, or `cursor` gets another value assigned to it), its reference count hits zero, which causes it to be deleted, dropping the connection's reference count to zero, causing the connection's `__del__` method to be called which force-closes the connection. If you already pasted the code above into your Python shell, then you can now simulate this by running `cursor = 'arbitrary value'`; as soon as you do this, the connection you opened will vanish from the `SHOW PROCESSLIST` output.
However, relying upon this is inelegant, and theoretically might fail in Python implementations other than CPython. Cleaner, in theory, would be to explicitly `.close()` the connection (to free up a connection on the database without waiting for Python to destroy the object). This more robust code looks like this:
```
import contextlib
import pymysql
with contextlib.closing(pymysql.connect()) as conn:
with conn as cursor:
cursor.execute('SELECT 1')
```
This is ugly, but doesn't rely upon Python destructing your objects to free up your (finite available number of) database connections.
Note that closing the *cursor*, if you're already closing the connection explicitly like this, is entirely pointless.

Nope, instantiating a cursor doesn't hit MySQL at all and [basically does nothing](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L34-L47).

This is situational and difficult to give a general answer to. As <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/optimizing-innodb-transaction-management.html> puts it, *"an application might encounter performance issues if it commits thousands of times per second, and different performance issues if it commits only every 2-3 hours"*. You pay a performance overhead for every commit, but by leaving transactions open for longer, you increase the chance of other connections having to spend time waiting for locks, increase your risk of deadlocks, and potentially increase the cost of some lookups performed by other connections.

1 MySQL *does* have a construct it calls a [cursor](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/cursors.html) but they only exist inside stored procedures; they're completely different to PyMySQL cursors and are not relevant here. |
5,669,878 | I'm building a WSGI web app and I have a MySQL database. I'm using MySQLdb, which provides cursors for executing statements and getting results. **What is the standard practice for getting and closing cursors?** In particular, how long should my cursors last? Should I get a new cursor for each transaction?
I believe you need to close the cursor before committing the connection. Is there any significant advantage to finding sets of transactions that don't require intermediate commits so that you don't have to get new cursors for each transaction? Is there a lot of overhead for getting new cursors, or is it just not a big deal? | 2011/04/14 | [

] | Instead of asking what is standard practice, since that's often unclear and subjective, you might try looking to the module itself for guidance. In general, using the `with` keyword as another user suggested is a great idea, but in this specific circumstance it may not give you quite the functionality you expect.
As of version 1.2.5 of the module, `MySQLdb.Connection` implements the [context manager protocol](http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#context-manager-types) with the following code ([github](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/blob/2204283605e8c450223965eda8d8f357d5fe4c90/MySQLdb/connections.py)):
```
def __enter__(self):
if self.get_autocommit():
self.query("BEGIN")
return self.cursor()
def __exit__(self, exc, value, tb):
if exc:
self.rollback()
else:
self.commit()
```
There are several existing Q&A about `with` already, or you can read [Understanding Python's "with" statement](http://effbot.org/zone/python-with-statement.htm), but essentially what happens is that `__enter__` executes at the start of the `with` block, and `__exit__` executes upon leaving the `with` block. You can use the optional syntax `with EXPR as VAR` to bind the object returned by `__enter__` to a name if you intend to reference that object later. So, given the above implementation, here's a simple way to query your database:
```
connection = MySQLdb.connect(...)
with connection as cursor: # connection.__enter__ executes at this line
cursor.execute('select 1;')
result = cursor.fetchall() # connection.__exit__ executes after this line
print result # prints "((1L,),)"
```
The question now is, what are the states of the connection and the cursor after exiting the `with` block? The `__exit__` method shown above calls only `self.rollback()` or `self.commit()`, and neither of those methods go on to call the `close()` method. The cursor itself has no `__exit__` method defined – and wouldn't matter if it did, because `with` is only managing the connection. Therefore, both the connection and the cursor remain open after exiting the `with` block. This is easily confirmed by adding the following code to the above example:
```
try:
cursor.execute('select 1;')
print 'cursor is open;',
except MySQLdb.ProgrammingError:
print 'cursor is closed;',
if connection.open:
print 'connection is open'
else:
print 'connection is closed'
```
You should see the output "cursor is open; connection is open" printed to stdout.

Why? The [MySQL C API](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/c-api-function-overview.html), which is the basis for `MySQLdb`, does not implement any cursor object, as implied in the module documentation: ["MySQL does not support cursors; however, cursors are easily emulated."](http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html#connection-objects) Indeed, the `MySQLdb.cursors.BaseCursor` class inherits directly from `object` and imposes no such restriction on cursors with regard to commit/rollback. An Oracle developer [had this to say](http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?50,578823,578941#msg-578941):

I expect that's as close as you're going to get to "standard practice" on this subject.

I very much doubt it, and in trying to do so, you may introduce additional human error. Better to decide on a convention and stick with it.

The overhead is negligible, and doesn't touch the database server at all; it's entirely within the implementation of MySQLdb. You can [look at `BaseCursor.__init__` on github](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/blob/master/MySQLdb/cursors.py) if you're really curious to know what's happening when you create a new cursor.
Going back to earlier when we were discussing `with`, perhaps now you can understand why the `MySQLdb.Connection` class `__enter__` and `__exit__` methods give you a brand new cursor object in every `with` block and don't bother keeping track of it or closing it at the end of the block. It's fairly lightweight and exists purely for your convenience.
If it's really that important to you to micromanage the cursor object, you can use [contextlib.closing](http://docs.python.org/2/library/contextlib.html#contextlib.closing) to make up for the fact that the cursor object has no defined `__exit__` method. For that matter, you can also use it to force the connection object to close itself upon exiting a `with` block. This should output "my\_curs is closed; my\_conn is closed":
```
from contextlib import closing
import MySQLdb
with closing(MySQLdb.connect(...)) as my_conn:
with closing(my_conn.cursor()) as my_curs:
my_curs.execute('select 1;')
result = my_curs.fetchall()
try:
my_curs.execute('select 1;')
print 'my_curs is open;',
except MySQLdb.ProgrammingError:
print 'my_curs is closed;',
if my_conn.open:
print 'my_conn is open'
else:
print 'my_conn is closed'
```
Note that `with closing(arg_obj)` will not call the argument object's `__enter__` and `__exit__` methods; it will *only* call the argument object's `close` method at the end of the `with` block. (To see this in action, simply define a class `Foo` with `__enter__`, `__exit__`, and `close` methods containing simple `print` statements, and compare what happens when you do `with Foo(): pass` to what happens when you do `with closing(Foo()): pass`.) This has two significant implications:
First, if autocommit mode is enabled, MySQLdb will `BEGIN` an explicit transaction on the server when you use `with connection` and commit or rollback the transaction at the end of the block. These are default behaviors of MySQLdb, intended to protect you from MySQL's default behavior of immediately committing any and all DML statements. MySQLdb assumes that when you use a context manager, you want a transaction, and uses the explicit `BEGIN` to bypass the autocommit setting on the server. If you're used to using `with connection`, you might think autocommit is disabled when actually it was only being bypassed. You might get an unpleasant surprise if you add `closing` to your code and lose transactional integrity; you won't be able to rollback changes, you may start seeing concurrency bugs and it may not be immediately obvious why.
Second, `with closing(MySQLdb.connect(user, pass)) as VAR` binds the *connection object* to `VAR`, in contrast to `with MySQLdb.connect(user, pass) as VAR`, which binds *a new cursor object* to `VAR`. In the latter case you would have no direct access to the connection object! Instead, you would have to use the cursor's `connection` attribute, which provides proxy access to the original connection. When the cursor is closed, its `connection` attribute is set to `None`. This results in an abandoned connection that will stick around until one of the following happens:
* All references to the cursor are removed
* The cursor goes out of scope
* The connection times out
* The connection is closed manually via server administration tools
You can test this by monitoring open connections (in Workbench or by [using `SHOW PROCESSLIST`](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/show-processlist.html)) while executing the following lines one by one:
```
with MySQLdb.connect(...) as my_curs:
pass
my_curs.close()
my_curs.connection # None
my_curs.connection.close() # throws AttributeError, but connection still open
del my_curs # connection will close here
``` | Note: this answer is for [PyMySQL](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL), which is a drop-in replacement for MySQLdb and effectively the latest version of MySQLdb since MySQLdb stopped being maintained. I believe everything here is *also* true of the legacy MySQLdb, but haven't checked.
First of all, some facts:
* Python's [`with`](https://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#context-manager-types) syntax calls the context manager's `__enter__` method before executing the body of the `with` block, and its `__exit__` method afterwards.
* Connections have an [`__enter__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L831-L833) method that does nothing besides create and return a cursor, and an [`__exit__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L835-L840) method that either commits or rolls back (depending upon whether an exception was thrown). It *does not* close the connection.
* Cursors in PyMySQL are purely an abstraction implemented in Python; there is no equivalent concept in MySQL itself.1
* Cursors have an [`__enter__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L62-L63) method that doesn't do anything and an [`__exit__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L65-L67) method which "closes" the cursor (which just means nulling the cursor's reference to its parent connection and throwing away any data stored on the cursor).
* Cursors hold a reference to the connection that spawned them, but connections don't hold a reference to the cursors that they've created.
* Connections have a [`__del__`](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/connections.py#L750) method which closes them
* Per <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html>, CPython (the default Python implementation) uses reference counting and automatically deletes an object once the number of references to it hits zero.
Putting these things together, we see that naive code like this is *in theory* problematic:
```
# Problematic code, at least in theory!
import pymysql
with pymysql.connect() as cursor:
cursor.execute('SELECT 1')
# ... happily carry on and do something unrelated
```
The problem is that nothing has closed the connection. Indeed, if you paste the code above into a Python shell and then run `SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST` at a MySQL shell, you'll be able to see the idle connection that you created. Since MySQL's default number of connections is [151](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_connections), which isn't *huge*, you could theoretically start running into problems if you had many processes keeping these connections open.
However, in CPython, there is a saving grace that ensures that code like my example above *probably* won't cause you to leave around loads of open connections. That saving grace is that as soon as `cursor` goes out of scope (e.g. the function in which it was created finishes, or `cursor` gets another value assigned to it), its reference count hits zero, which causes it to be deleted, dropping the connection's reference count to zero, causing the connection's `__del__` method to be called which force-closes the connection. If you already pasted the code above into your Python shell, then you can now simulate this by running `cursor = 'arbitrary value'`; as soon as you do this, the connection you opened will vanish from the `SHOW PROCESSLIST` output.
However, relying upon this is inelegant, and theoretically might fail in Python implementations other than CPython. Cleaner, in theory, would be to explicitly `.close()` the connection (to free up a connection on the database without waiting for Python to destroy the object). This more robust code looks like this:
```
import contextlib
import pymysql
with contextlib.closing(pymysql.connect()) as conn:
with conn as cursor:
cursor.execute('SELECT 1')
```
This is ugly, but doesn't rely upon Python destructing your objects to free up your (finite available number of) database connections.
Note that closing the *cursor*, if you're already closing the connection explicitly like this, is entirely pointless.
Finally, to answer the secondary questions here:
>

>
>

Nope, instantiating a cursor doesn't hit MySQL at all and [basically does nothing](https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/blob/0.7.10/pymysql/cursors.py#L34-L47).

199,883 | Say I have an expansion of terms containing functions `y[j,t]` and its derivatives, indexed by `j` with the index beginning at 0 whose independent variable are `t`, like so:

Now I wish to define new functions indexed by `i`, call them `A[i]`, that collect all terms from the expression above such that the sum of the indices of the factors in each term sums to `i`.

`A[0] = y[0,t]^2 + D[y[0,t],t]*y[0,t]`

] | I believe the the reason for this is because you have not actually set the `AuthenticationSuccessHandler` for the bean `JwtAuthenticationFilter`, since it is not actually set it will keep looping around super and chain and later when the error needs to be sent since response is already written in `super()` `chain.doFilter` will fail because once the response is written it cannot be again written hence the error `call sendError() after the response has been committed`.
To correct this in your SecurityConfiguration before setting this
```
.addFilterBefore(new JwtAuthenticationFilter(authenticationManager()),
FilterSecurityInterceptor.class)
```
Instantiate the filter and set it's success manager like so
```
JwtAuthenticationFilter jwtAuthenticationFilter = new JwtAuthenticationFilter(authenticationManager()),FilterSecurityInterceptor.class);
jwtAuthenticationFilter.setAuthenticationSuccessHandler(new CustomAuthenticationSuccessHandler());
```
Now use the above variable to set the filter.
This is a great reference project: <https://gitlab.com/palmapps/jwt-spring-security-demo/-/tree/master/>. | I solved this problem with another approach.
In the JwtAuthenticationFilter class we need to set authentication object in context and call chain.doFilter. Calling super.successfulAuthentication can be skipped as we have overridden the implementation.
```
@Override
protected void successfulAuthentication(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain chain, Authentication authResult)
throws IOException, ServletException {
//super.successfulAuthentication(request, response, chain, authResult);
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authResult);
chain.doFilter(request, response);

public JwtAuthenticationFilter(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager) {

this.setAuthenticationManager(authenticationManager);

I basically followed the instructions from the below link EXACTLY and I'm getting this damn error? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, wtf? Do I need to create some kind of persisted method?? There were several other questions like this and after reading ALL of them they were not helpful at ALL. Please help.
<https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2>
Omniauths Controller
```
class OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController
def google_oauth2
# You need to implement the method below in your model (e.g. app/models/user.rb)
@user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"])
if @user.persisted?
flash[:notice] = I18n.t "devise.omniauth_callbacks.success", :kind => "Google"
sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication
else
session["devise.google_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"].except(:extra) #Removing extra as it can overflow some session stores
redirect_to new_user_registration_url, alert: @user.errors.full_messages.join("\n")
end
end
end
```
User model code snippet
```
def self.from_omniauth(access_token)
data = access_token.info
user = User.where(:email => data["email"]).first
# Uncomment the section below if you want users to be created if they don't exist
# unless user
# user = User.create(name: data["name"],
# email: data["email"],

] | Changed the bottom portion to:
```
def self.from_omniauth(auth)
where(provider: auth.provider, uid: auth.uid).first_or_create do |user|
user.email = auth.info.email
user.password = Devise.friendly_token[0,20]
user.name = auth.info.name # assuming the user model has a name
end
end
```
ran rails g migration AddOmniauthToUsers provider:string uid:string
Then it went to Successfully authenticated from Google account.
So I believe it works now. I think maybe the issue was I needed to add the provider and uid to the user database model? | The persisted? method is checking whether or not the user exists thereby returning nil value if no such record exists and your user model is not creating new ones. So by uncommenting the code from the example to this:
```
def self.from_omniauth(access_token)
data = access_token.info
user = User.where(:email => data["email"]).first
# creates a new user if user email does not exist.
unless user
user = User.create(name: data["name"],
email: data["email"],
password: Devise.friendly_token[0,20]
)
end
user
end
```
Should solve the problem of checking to see if the user exists or creating a new user. |

This is a horrible way to solve your problem, but it's a working proto-type which demonstrates that your problem is solvable.
Note that this understates logins substantially after an application recycle; logins are much longer term than sessions. | I think the session items are client sided.
You can create a query to count the open connections (hence you're working with a MySQL database.)
Another option is to use external software (I use the tawk.to helpchat, which shows the amount of users visiting a page in realtime).
You could maybe use that, making the supportchat invisible, and only putting it on paging which are accesible for loggedin users.
OR
Execute an update query which adds/substracts from a column in your database (using the onStart and OnEnd hooks). |

This is a horrible way to solve your problem, but it's a working proto-type which demonstrates that your problem is solvable.
Note that this understates logins substantially after an application recycle; logins are much longer term than sessions. | That is the problem that you cannot do it using *Session[]* variables. You need to be using a database (or a central data source to store the total number of active users). For example, you can see in your application, when the application starts there is no `Application["UsersOnline"]` variable, you create it at the very instance. That is why, each time the application is started, the variable is initialized with a *new value*; always *1*.
You can create a separate table for your application, and inside it you can then create a column to contain *OnlineUsers* value. Which can be then incremented each time the app start event is triggered.
```
public void Session_OnStart()
{
Application.Lock();
Application["UsersOnline"] = (int)Application["UsersOnline"] + 1;
// At this position, execute an SQL command to update the value
Application.UnLock();
}
```
Otherwise, for every user the session variable would have a new value, and you would not be able to accomplish this. Session variables were never designed for such purpose, you can access the variables, but you cannot rely on them for such a task. You can get more guidance about SQL commands in .NET framework, from MSDN's [SqlClient namespace library](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient%28v=vs.110%29.aspx). |

To access the background page that corresponds to your extensions open `Settings / Extensions` or open a new tab and enter `chrome://extensions`. You will see something like this screenshot.
Under your extension click on the link `background page`. This opens a new window.

] | Any *extension page* (except [content scripts](http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/content_scripts.html)) has direct access to the background page via [`chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage()`](http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/extension.html#method-getBackgroundPage).
That means, within the [popup page](http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/browserAction.html), you can just do:
```
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console.log('foo');
```
To make it easier to use:
```
var bkg = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
bkg.console.log('foo');
```
Now if you want to do the same within [content scripts](http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/content_scripts.html) you have to use [Message Passing](http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging.html) to achieve that. The reason, they both belong to different domains, which make sense. There are many examples in the [Message Passing](http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging.html) page for you to check out.
Hope that clears everything. | To get a console log from a background page you need to write the following code snippet in your background page background.js -
```
chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console.log('hello');
```
Then load the extension and inspect its background page to see the console log.

anyway, I don't know how to use `getBackgroundPage`, but I found another solution as below,
Solution
--------
use the [chrome.scripting.executeScript](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/scripting/#runtime-functions)
So you can inject any script or file. You can directly click inspect (F12) and can debug the function.
for example
```js
chrome.commands.onCommand.addListener((cmdName) => {
switch (cmdName) {
case "show-alert":
chrome.storage.sync.set({msg: cmdName}) // You can not get the context on the function, so using the Storage API to help you. // https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/storage/
chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}).then(([tab])=>{
chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: {tabId: tab.id},
function: () => {
chrome.storage.sync.get(['msg'], ({msg})=> {
console.log(`${msg}`)
alert(`Command: ${msg}`)
})
}
})
})
break
default:
alert(`Unknown Command: ${cmdName}`)
}
})
```

You can access other extension pages (i.e. options page, popup page) from *within the background page/script* with the `chrome.extension.getViews()` call. As described [here](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages).
```
// overwrite the console object with the right one.
var optionsPage = ( chrome.extension.getViews()
&& (chrome.extension.getViews().length > 1) )
? chrome.extension.getViews()[1] : null;
// safety precaution.
if (optionsPage) {
var console = optionsPage.console;
}

66,233,268 | I am working on a project where we frequently work with a list of usernames. We also have a function to take a username and return a dataframe with that user's data. E.g.
```
users = c("bob", "john", "michael")

{
data.frame(user=user, data=sample(10))
}
```
We often:
1. Iterate over each element of `users`
2. Call `get_data_for_user` to get their data
3. `rbind` the results into a single dataerame
I am currently doing this in a purely imperative way:
```
ret = get_data_for_user(users[1])
for (i in 2:length(users))
{
ret = rbind(ret, get_data_for_user(users[i]))
}
```
This works, but my impression is that all the cool kids are now using libraries like `purrr` to do this in a single line. I am fairly new to `purrr`, and the closest I can see is using `map_df` to convert the vector of usernames to a vector of dataframes. I.e.
```
dfs = map_df(users, get_data_for_user)

```
function inputvalue(){

Also notice the correction of your syntax... in jQuery, `val` is a function that takes a string as a parameter. You can't assign to it as you are doing.
Here is an [example fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/sm4cD/) showing the above in action. | Your function has an error. Try this:
```

24,010 | UPDATE
Have included an image. As you can see, LED is ON when base is floating. This is a 2N222A transistor.
---
Playing with an NPN bipolar transistor. The Collector is connected to the positive terminal of a 9V battery through a 1k Ohm resistor, and the Emitter is connected to the ground through an LED. The Base is not connected to anything.
The LED seems to be dim in the above case. When I connect the Base to the positive terminal, the LED is much brighter. That makes sense as current through the base Base amplifies the current.
My questions is: **should any current flow through the emitter if the base is not connected to anything? I.e. Shouldn't the LED be completely off?**
I have a similar question for NPN Unijunction transistors (understand that nomenclature changes from CBE to AGC)? | 2011/12/21 | [

] | Okay, looking at the picture I think you may have the transistor the wrong way round.
Try turning it round.
See this picture for reference:
As you can see the collector is on the right with the flat part facing you, so you have the collector connected to the LED in your circuit (if the 2N2222A part you are using has the same pinout)
I got the picture from [here](http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/PN/PN2222A.pdf).
**EDIT** - It's actually a 2N222A, but the above advice still goes as the pinout appears to be the same from the picture posted.
As Russell mentions the more standard way is to connect the LED to the collector, but your circuit should work if set up correctly. | Please answer:
* What colour LED are you using?
* What is your transistor type. ?

You should look at some of the 10's of thousands of diagrams available on the net before connecting a transistor to try to do this job and/or look at the transistor's data sheet.
All transistors have a maximum Vbe rating and you have probably exceeded yours quite substantially. You transistor MAY be OK but may be damaged.
You MAY have been saved by your interesting emitter follower style circuit.
As a starting point always drive the base through a resistor of from 1k to 10k.
1K for low voltages (2-5) and 10k or so for larger voltages (5-30).
None of that is ideal but it will keep your transistor alive and your LED lit in most cases.
Connect a 100k from base to emitter. This passes the small CB leakage current that exists when the base is open and stops it driving the transistor on partially and dimly lighting your LED.
Your circuit with the LED in the emitter has its uses, but more usual and useful is the circuit below.
R1 is not needed if you are driving R2 with a source that always has a low impedance, such as a microcontroller pin in normal output mode (active high and active low drive.
Transistor type is your choice.
LED current is ~~~= (Vsupply - VLED\_on)/ R4.
VLDon from data sheet or elseweher.
For red LEDs ~= 2V.
White and blue LEDS typically 3V - 3.5V
So here with Vsupply = 5V
* LED current is ~~~= (Vsupply - VLED\_on)/ R4
~~= (5 - 3.3) / 1000 = 0.017 = 17 mA
This is shown being driven by a relay (high on / low off) but any voltage that switches between low ~=0V and 2V <= high <= ~= 12v is OK.
For Vin high > 12 V increase R2.
---
Suggestion:
Experiment with vakues of R2 all else being the same, and see what happens. .
Never have R2 < about 500 ohms.
R2 can be as large as you like but the LED will stop working when R2 is above **about** 470k to 1 megohm.
---
Recommendation:
The BC337-40 is my favorite leaded "jellybean" bipolar NPN transistor.
If you can ever buy some of these at a good price, do.
Digikey has them at 58 cents in 1.s, 40c/10, 18c/100, 7c/1000, 4.5 cents/ 10k.
---
This is a BAD circuit BUT if you add 100K as shown the LED should turn off.
NOW connect 10k from base to V+ and see what happens.
NEVER connect the base directly to V+ or to any "stiff' voltage source that may cause very high base currents to flow.
What is your transistor type. ?

] | The problem is not linked to data.frame, but simply that you cannot have in the same vector objects of class numeric and objects of class character. It is NOT possible.
The person who started the project before you should not have used the string "Error" to indicate a missing data. Instead, you should use NA :
```
x=c(1,2)
y=c("Error","Error")
c(x,y) # Here the result is coerced as character automatically by R. There is no way to avoid that.
```
Instead you should use
```
c(x,NA) # NA is accepted in a vector of numeric
```
**Note:** you should think a data.frame as a list of vectors which are the columns of the data.frame. Hence if you have 2 columns, *each column is an independent vector* and hence it is possible to have different class per column:
```
x <- c(1,2)
y <- c("Error","Error")
df=data.frame(x=x,y=y,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
class(df$x)
class(df$y)
```
Now if you try to transpose the data.frame, of course the new column vectors will become c(1,"Error") and c(2,"Error") that will be coerced as character as we have seen before.
```
t(df)
``` | You could do this:
```
x <- 1
y <- c("Error","Error")
df <- data.frame(c(list(), x, y), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
> str(df)
'data.frame': 1 obs. of 3 variables:
$ X1 : num 1
$ X.Error. : chr "Error"
$ X.Error..1: chr "Error"
```
You just have to set proper column names. |

] | The Django documentation lists Apache/mod\_wsgi, Apache/mod\_python and FastCGI etc.
**mod\_python** is deprecated now, one should use mod\_wsgi instead.
Django with **mod\_wsgi** is easy to setup, but:
* you can only use one python version at a time [edit: you even can only use the python version mod\_wsgi was compiled for]
* [edit: seems if I'm wrong on mod\_wsgi not supporting virtualenv: it does]
So for multiple sites (targeting different django/python versions) on a server mod\_wsgi is not
the best solution.
**FastCGI** can be used with virtualenv, also with different python versions, as you run it with
```
./manage.py runfcgi …
```
and then configure your webserver to use this fcgi interface.
The new, hot stuff about django deployment seems to be **gunicorn**. It's a webserver that implements wsgi and is typically used as backend with a "big" webserver as proxy.
Deployment with **gunicorn** feels a lot like fcgi: you run a process doing the django processing stuff with manage.py, and a webserver as frontend to the world.
But gunicorn deployment has some advantages over fcgi:
* speed - I didn't find the sources, but benchmarks say fcgi is not as fast as the f suggests
* config files, for fcgi you must do all configuration on the commandline when executing the manage.py command. This comes unhandy when running multiple django instances via an init.d (unix-like OS' system service startup). It's always the same cmdline, with just different configuration files
* gunicorn can drop privileges: no need to do this in your init.d script, and it's easy to switch to one user per django instance
* gunicorn behaves more like a daemon: writing pidfile and logfile, forking to the background etc. makes again using it in an init.d script easier.
Thus, I would suggest to use the gunicorn solution, unless you have a single site on a single server with low traffic, than you could use the wsgi solution. But I think in the long run you're more happy with gunicorn.
If you have a django only webserver, I would suggest to use nginx as frontendproxy, as it's the best performing (again this is based on benchmarks I read in some blogposts - don't have the url anymore).
Personally I use apache as frontendproxy, as I need it for other sites hosted on the server.
A simple setup instruction for django deployment could be found here:
<http://ericholscher.com/blog/2010/aug/16/lessons-learned-dash-easy-django-deployment/>
My init.d script for gunicorn is located at github:

Unfortunately I did not yet blog about it, but an experienced sysadmin should be able to do the required setup. | I myself have faced a lot of problems in deploying Django Projects and automating the deployment process. Apache and mod\_wsgi were like curse for Django Deployment. There are several tools like [Nginx](http://wiki.nginx.org/Main), [Gunicorn](http://gunicorn.org/), [SupervisorD](http://supervisord.org/) and Fabric which are trending for Django deployment. At first I used/configured them individually without Deployment automation which took a lot of time(I had to maintain testing as well as production servers for my client and had to update them as soon as a new feature was tested and approved.) but then I stumbled upon django-fagungis, which totally automates my Django Deployment from cloning my project from bitbucket to deploying on my remote server (it uses Nginx, Gunicorn, SupervisorD, Fabtic and virtualenv and also installs all the dependencies on the fly), all with just three commands :) You can find more about it in my blog post [**here**](http://alirazabhayani.blogspot.com/2013/02/easy-django-deployment-tools-tutorial-fabric-gunicorn-nginx-supervisor.html). Now I even don't have to get involved in this process(which used to take a lot of my time) and one of my junior developers runs those three commands of django-fagungis [mentioned here](http://alirazabhayani.blogspot.com/2013/02/easy-django-deployment-tools-tutorial-fabric-gunicorn-nginx-supervisor.html) on his local machine and we get a crisp new copy of our project deployed in minutes without any hassle:) |

You're accessing to `myTable[0][4]`, when `myTable` is defined as `int[5][4]`. Fix this and your code will work.

---
A biggest problem here is your design. You should use a `for` loop to set the values in your `myTable` instead of using 20 variables (!). Here's an example:
```
int[][] myTable = new int[5][4];
for (int i = 0; i < myTable.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < myTable[i].length; j++) {
System.out.println("Type a number:");
myTable[i][j] = Integer.parseInt(mVHS.readLine());
}
}
``` | Essentially, `myTable` is defined for values up to `[4][3]` which is fine, but in your output statements, you get the mixed, as if they went up to `[3][4]`. You need 5 not 4 lines and you need to remove `+ myTable [?][4]` in each of them. |

The next square after $n^2$ is $(n+1)^2=n^2+2n+1 > n^2+1$ if $n>0$.
Therefore, $n^2+1$ is never a square, unless $n=0$. | Can $a^n+1$ ever be a square? PARTIAL ANSWER
If $a^n+1=m^2$ then $a^n=(m^2-1)=(m+1)(m-1)$. If $a$ is odd, then both $(m+1)$ and $(m-1)$ are odd, and moreover, two sequential odd numbers have no factors in common. Thus $(m+1)=r^n$ and $(m-1)=s^n$, $\gcd{r,s}=1$, because the product of $(m+1)$ and $(m-1)$ must be an $n^{th}$ power. $r^n-s^n=2$ has no integer solutions for $n>1$, so $a^n+1\neq m^2$ if $a$ is odd. |

Take a look [here](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CAccessControlFilter) for the rest. | Well it won't work because it knows Yii::app()->user as a CWebUser Instance and you developed the UserIdentity class so it would say 'CWebUser and its behaviors do not have a method or closure named "isAdmin"'!

```
class UserIdentity extends CUserIdentity
{
public function authenticate()
{
//your authentication code
//using your functions like $level=$this->isTeacher();
//or $level=$this->isAdmin();
$this->setState('isAdmin',$level);

hbi is cool because a) it implements Haskell B, and b) it supports the full language at the command line:
```
> data L a = I | X a (L a) deriving Show;
data L b = I | X b (L b) deriving (Show)

I think the easiest way to work-around this is to build a list of levels into a text file, then open that and use it as a list of file names. So, something like:
```
// XXX More pseudo code in Java than actual code ... (this is untested)
fileList = Gdx.files.internal("levels.txt");
String files[] = fileList.readString().split("\\n");
for (String filename: files) {
FileHandle fh = Gdx.files.internal("levels/" + filename);
...
}
```
Ideally you'd set something up that builds this text file when the JAR file is built. (That's a separate SO question I don't know the answer to ...)
As an aside, your work-around that uses `ApplicationType.Desktop` is leveraging the fact that in addition to the .jar file, there is a real directory on the classpath that you can open. That directory doesn't exist on the Android device (it actually only exists on the desktop when running under your build environment). | If you are still looking for an actual answer here is [mine](https://pastebin.com/R0jMh4ui) (it is kinda hacky but its work).
To use it you simply have to call one of the 2 options below :
```
FileHandle[] fileList = JarUtils.listFromJarIfNecessary("Path/to/your/folder");
FileHandle[] fileList = JarUtils.listFromJarIfNecessary(yourJarFileFilter);
```
A JarFileFilter is a simple class that overload the Java default FileFilter to fits the jar filter needs.
This will work both: when running from the IDE and from within a jar file. It also check that the game is running on desktop otherwise it use the default libGDX way of loadding the resources so it is safe to use for cross-platform project (Android, Ios, etc.).
Feel free to update the code if necessary to fit your needs. The code is documented and is ~150 lines so hopefully you will understand it.
Warning: Beware that this might not be very efficient since it has to look for all the entries within your jar so you do not want to call it too often. |

151,322 | Recently, I read a lot of good articles about how to do good encapsulation. And when I say "good encapsulation", I am not talking about hiding private fields with public properties; I am talking about preventing users of your API from doing wrong things.
Here are two good articles about this subject:

At my job, the majority of our applications are not destined for other programmers but rather for the customers.
About 80% of the application code is at the top of the structure (Not used by other code). For this reason, there is probably no chance ever that this code will be used by other application.
An example of encapsulation that prevents users from doing wrong things with your API is returning an IEnumerable instead of IList when you don't want to give the ability to the user to add or remove items in the list.
My question is: When can encapsulation be considered simply OOP purism, keeping in mind that each hour of programming is charged to the customer?
I want to create code that is maintainable and easy to read and use, but when I am not building a public API (to be used by other programmers), where can we draw the line between perfect code and not so perfect code? | 2012/06/02 | [

] | Answer: When you have your interface complete, then automatically you are done with encapsulation. It does not matter if implemenation or consumption part is incomplete, you are done since interface is accepted as final.
**Proper development tools should reduce cost more than tools cost themself.**
You suggest that if encapsulation or whatever property is not relevant to market offer, if customer does not care then the property has no value. Correct. And customer cares nearly about no internal property of code.
So why this and other measurable properties of code exist ? Why deveoper should care ? I think the reason is money as well: any labor intensive and costly work in software development will call for a cure. Encapsulation is targeted not at the customer but at user of library. You saying you do not have external users, but for your own code you yourself are the user number 1.
* If you introduce risk of errors into daily use, then you **increase the cost of development**.
* If you spend on reducing the risk, you will **increase the cost of development**.
Market and evolution keep forcing this choice. Choose the least increase.
This is all understood well. But you are asking about this particular feature. It is not the hardest one to maintain. It is definitely cost effective. But be aware about laws of human nature and economy. Tools have their own market. The labeled cost for some can be $0, but there is always hidden cost in terms of time spent on adoption. And this market is flooded with methodologies and practices with negative value. | Encapsulation exists to protect your class invariants. This is the primary measure for 'how much is enough'. Any way to break invariants breaks class semantics and is bad (tm).
A secondary concern is limiting visibility and as such the number of places that can/will access data and thus increase coupling and/or number of dependencies. This needs to be done with care though. As requirements change, often times that decision to limit what the class exposes leads to awkward hacks to deal with the new requirement.
This though is one of those design concerns that comes with experience. In doubt, favor encapsulation. The concerns are regardless of 'public' API or not. Even for internal code, new or forgetful or sleepy programmers *will* write bad code. If your class needs to be resistant to bad code, then do so. |

About 80% of the application code is at the top of the structure (Not used by other code). For this reason, there is probably no chance ever that this code will be used by other application.
An example of encapsulation that prevents users from doing wrong things with your API is returning an IEnumerable instead of IList when you don't want to give the ability to the user to add or remove items in the list.
My question is: When can encapsulation be considered simply OOP purism, keeping in mind that each hour of programming is charged to the customer?
I want to create code that is maintainable and easy to read and use, but when I am not building a public API (to be used by other programmers), where can we draw the line between perfect code and not so perfect code? | 2012/06/02 | [

] | The fact that your code is not being written as a public API is not really the point--the maintainability you mention is.
Yes, application development is a cost center, and the customer does not want to pay for unnecessary work. However, a badly designed or implemented application is going to cost the customer a lot more money when they decide that it needs another feature, or (as will certainly happen) the business rules change. Good OO principles are there because they help make it safer to modify and append the code base.
So, the customer may not directly care what your code looks like, but the next guy who has to modify it certainly will. If the encapsulation (as you're defining it) is not there, it's going to take him a lot longer and be much riskier for him to do what he needs to do to serve the customer's needs. | Encapsulation exists to protect your class invariants. This is the primary measure for 'how much is enough'. Any way to break invariants breaks class semantics and is bad (tm).
A secondary concern is limiting visibility and as such the number of places that can/will access data and thus increase coupling and/or number of dependencies. This needs to be done with care though. As requirements change, often times that decision to limit what the class exposes leads to awkward hacks to deal with the new requirement.
This though is one of those design concerns that comes with experience. In doubt, favor encapsulation. The concerns are regardless of 'public' API or not. Even for internal code, new or forgetful or sleepy programmers *will* write bad code. If your class needs to be resistant to bad code, then do so. |
14,790,045 | I am trying to insert a new column into a CSV file after existing data. For example, my CSV file currently contains:

] | I guess this question is already kind of old but I came across the same problem.
Its not any "best practice" solution but here is what I do.
In `twig` you can use this `{{ path('yourRouteName') }}` thing in a perfect way. So in my `twig` file I have a structure like that:
```
...
<a href="{{ path('myRoute') }}"> //results in e.g http://localhost/app_dev.php/myRoute
<div id="clickMe">Click</div>
</a>
```
Now if someone clicks the div, I do the following in my `.js file`:
```
$('#clickMe').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); //prevents the default a href behaviour
var url = $(this).closest('a').attr('href');
$.ajax({
url: url,
method: 'POST',
success: function(data) {
console.log('GENIUS!');
}
});
});
```
I know that this is not a solution for every situation where you want to trigger an Ajax request but I just leave this here and perhaps somebody thinks it's useful :) | Since this jQuery ajax function is placed on twig side and the url points to your application you can insert routing path
```
$.ajax({
url: '{{ path("your_ajax_routing") }}',
data: "url="+urlinput,
dataType: 'html',
timeout: 5000,
success: function(data, status){
// DO Stuff here
}
});

[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/W0rtE.png) | Here's a LuaLaTeX-based solution. It sets up a LaTeX macro called `\nobracketref` which, in turn, invokes a Lua function called `nobrackets` which removes the outermost brackets in the function's argument.
Observe that the Lua function tests whether the cross-reference is valid. If it is not valid, i.e., if `\ref` returns `??` instead of something like `[I]`, `\nobracketref` prints an empty string. Once the cross-reference is resolved correctly, `\nobracketref` will print `I`.

1,556,700 | there is a page ($9\times 9$) how many different rectangles can you draw with odd area?
rectangles are different if they are different on size and place.
for example if a rectangle is $15$ squares, its area is odd.

] | If the area has to be odd, the length and breadth both have to be odd. Hence, we count the number of rectangles by first choosing a row and a column ($10 \cdot 10$ ways to do this), and then choosing another row and column which are at an odd distance from the chosen one ($5 \cdot 5$ ways to do this). But we have counted each rectangle four times -- by the first row/column and then again by the second row/column -- so we divide by 4 to get our final answer: $1/4 \cdot 10 \cdot 10 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 = 625$. | the number of squares with equal dimensions is $81$. so if number of squares is odd then the rectangle has an odd area. the total rectangles are given by ${10 \choose 2}.{10 \choose 2}=2025$ . you have rectangles now you just need to select two lines which are odd distances apart from each other . and its done. hope its clear. |

233,158 | I am working on a web api and I am curios about the `HTTP SEARCH` verb and how you should use it.
My first approach was, well you could use it surely for a search. But asp.net WebApi doesn't support the `SEARCH` verb.
My question is basically, should I use `SEARCH` or is it not important?
PS: I found the `SEARCH` verb in fiddler2 from telerik. | 2014/03/21 | [

SEARCH is not documented as a verb in this document. | AFAIK the `SEARCH` method is only a proposal and should not be used. Use `GET` instead. |
3,639,718 | I recreated a Select box and its dropdown function using this:
```
$(".selectBox").click(function(e) {
if (!$("#dropDown").css("display") || $("#dropDown").css("display") == "none")
$("#dropDown").slideDown();
else
$("#dropDown").slideUp();
e.preventDefault();
});
```
The only problem is that if you click away from the box, the dropdown stays. I'd like it to mimic a regular dropdown and close when you click away, so I thought I could do a 'body' click:
```
$('body').click(function(){
if ($("#dropdown").css("display") || $("#dropdown").css("display") != "none")
$("#dropdown").slideUp();
});
```
But now, when you click the Select box, the dropdown slides down and right back up. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks very much in advance... | 2010/09/03 | [

] | You also need to stop a click from *inside* the `#dropdown` from bubbling back up to `body`, like this:
```
$(".selectBox, #dropdown").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
```
We're using [`event.stopPropagation()`](http://api.jquery.com/event.stopPropagation/) it stops the click from bubbling up, causing the [`.slideUp()`](http://api.jquery.com/slideUp/). Also your other 2 event handlers can be simplified with [`:visible`](http://api.jquery.com/visible-selector/) or [`.slideToggle()`](http://api.jquery.com/slideToggle/), like this overall:
```
$(".selectBox").click(function(e) {
$("#dropDown").slideToggle();
return false; //also prevents bubbling
});
$("#dropdown").click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).click(function(){
$("#dropdown:visible").slideUp();
});
``` | Since you are setting an event handler that catches every click, you don't need another one on a child.
```
$(document).click(function(e) {
if ($(e.target).closest('.selectBox').length) {
$('#dropdown').slideToggle();
return false;
} else {
$('#dropdown:visible').slideUp();
}
});

28,429,768 | Lets say I have a `ItemsControl`which is used to render buttons for a list of viewModels
```
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding PageViewModelTypes}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Content="{Binding Name}"
CommandParameter="{Binding }" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
```
The `PageViewModelTypes`are the view models which are available (For example `OtherViewModel`). For each of the types there is a `DataTemplate` setup with the according views.
```
<dx:DXWindow.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type generalDataViewModel:GeneralViewModel}">
<generalDataViewModel:GeneralView />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type other:OtherViewModel}">
<other:OtherView />

] | Bind the button content to the item content and your templates will be resolved to the actual types:
```
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Content="{Binding}"
CommandParameter="{Binding }" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
``` | Unfortunately, your question is not at all clear. The most common scenario that could fit the vague description you've provided is to have each item in the `ItemsControl` displayed using a `DataTemplate` that corresponds to that type.
Let's call that `Option A`.
But the statement:
>
> replacing the `PageViewModelTypes` with the corresponding template types for the `ItemsControl` within the view
>
>
>
…could be construed as meaning you want an entirely different data source for the control. I.e. you want to selectively choose a different value for the `ItemsSource` property.
Let's call that `Option B`.
Then later, in the comments, you were asked:
>
> do you want to show the template when the user clicks the relevant button?
>
>
>
…and you responded "yes"! Even though that's a completely different behavior than either of the above two.
Let's call that `Option C`.
Maybe we can encourage you to provide much-needed clarification. But to do that, it seems most fruitful to start with the simplest, most common scenario. Here is an example of code that implements `Option A`:
**XAML:**
```
<Window x:Class="TestSO28429768ButtonTemplate.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestSO28429768ButtonTemplate"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<local:ColorToBrushConverter x:Key="colorToBrushConverter1"/>
<local:BaseViewModelCollection x:Key="itemsCollection">
<local:StringViewModel Text="Foo"/>
<local:StringViewModel Text="Bar"/>
<local:ColorViewModel Color="Yellow"/>
<local:ColorViewModel Color="LightBlue"/>
</local:BaseViewModelCollection>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:StringViewModel}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}"/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:ColorViewModel}">
<Rectangle Width="50" Height="25"
Fill="{Binding Path=Color, Converter={StaticResource colorToBrushConverter1}}" />
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{StaticResource itemsCollection}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Content="{Binding}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
</Window>
```
**C#:**
```
class BaseViewModelCollection : List<BaseViewModel> { }
class BaseViewModel { }
class StringViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
public string Text { get; set; }
}
class ColorViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
public Color Color { get; set; }
}
class ColorToBrushConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
return new SolidColorBrush((Color)value);
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
```
As you'll see, the `ItemsControl` displays the `Button` instances using its default panel, `StackPanel`. The `Content` of each `Button` is bound to the respective item in the `ItemsSource` collection, a list containing two each of the `StringViewModel` class and the `ColorViewModel` class.
Through defined templates in the window's resources, the content presenter of the button uses the `DataTemplate` associated with each type of view model. Items corresponding to a `StringViewModel` get the template for that type, i.e. a `TextBlock` displaying the text of the view model. Likewise, items corresponding to a `ColorViewModel` instance get the template that displays a rectangle filled with the color from the view model.
If the above does not *exactly* address your question (and it may well not), please edit your question to clarify what you are asking:
* If the above is close, but not precisely what you wanted, please use the above as a reference and explain how what you want to do is different.
* If the above has nothing to do with what you wanted, then ignore it. But do be *specific* about what you actually want, and use precise terminology. For example, if you really want to *replace* the `ItemsSource` with a different collection, then saying you want to replace the `PageViewModelTypes` collection makes sense. But if not, *don't* use a phrase that seems to say exactly that!
Of course, if either `Option B` or `Option C` more closely match what you are trying to do, go ahead and use those as references for your clarifications.

39,070,614 | Here is a program about the Fibonacci sequence. Each time the code branches off again you are calling the fibonacci function from within itself two times.
```
def fibonacci(number)
if number < 2
number
else
fibonacci(number - 1) + fibonacci(number - 2)
end
end
puts fibonacci(6)
```
The only thing I understand is that it adds the number from the previous number. This program was taken from my assignment. It says, "If you take all of those ones and zeros and add them together, you'll get the same answer you get when you run the code."

I really tried my best to understand how this code works but I failed. Can anyone out there who is so kind and explain to me in layman's term or in a way a dummy would understand what's happening on this code? | 2016/08/22 | [

] | This is just the direct 1:1 translation (with a simple twist) of the standard mathematical definition of the Fibonacci Function:
```
Fib(0) = 0
Fib(1) = 1
Fib(n) = Fib(n-2) + Fib(n-1)
```
Translated to Ruby, this becomes:
```
def fib(n)
return 0 if n.zero?
return 1 if n == 1
fib(n-2) + fib(n-1)
end
```
It's easy to see that the first two cases can be combined: if n is 0, the result is 0, if n is 1, the result is 1. That's the same as saying if n is 0 or 1, the result is the same as n. And "n is 0 or 1" is the same as "n is less than 2":
```
def fib(n)
return n if n < 2
fib(n-2) + fib(n-1)
end
```
There's nothing special about this, it's the exact translation of the recursive definition of the mathematical Fibonacci function. | I don't really know which part baffles you but let me try.
In the graph, a function f() denotes your fibonacci() and f(1) and f(0) are pre-defined as 1 and 0.
As f(number) comes from f(number - 1) + f(number - 2) in your number = 2,
f(2) = f(2 - 1) + f(2 - 2) = 1 + 0 = 1.
Likewise, you can get f(3) = f(3 - 1) + f(3 - 2) = f(2) + f(1) = 1 + 1. You can proceed to number 6 in your graph with the code then you get the answer.
And do not care about people who already forget when they were the babe. It's just like convention here :) |
