There are many libraries for calling java code from python and there are many articles that try to provide a preview on their syntax. I’ve worked with JPype and Javabridge which seems to be two of the more famous ones. While JPype is by far more use friendly that javabridge I have personally had problems with it when trying to add some jar files to the class path. Especially if the jar file is packaged by maven or the project’s structure …

The Problem So recently I posted the following blog post explaining my approach to determining of an value is instance of a custom class. I also posted a reddit question asking if my solution made sense and whether I was missing some cases. This had become a hard thing to do since it Python pretty much everything is an object and is an instance of a class. It was even harder in Python 3x. At least in Python 2.7 you could check type of …
These days I’ve seen people writing code in Python with many many different backgrounds. Python is a well known language with small footprint and it has a great community. All of which makes it a great language for beginners and also very easy to jump in to and start your project. But, also extremely easy to miss important knowledge about underlying structure and design pattern conventions. So I’ve started using Python for a couple of my bigger projects and especially my research now. One of these projects demands some …
I’m working on a object based serializer/deserializer in python and as a result I need to know if a value is instance of class or not. First, I realized that in contrary to Java, there is really no clean way of determining if variable is holding an instance of a class or a primitive type For clarification: I know in java due to static typing it probably never happens to need to check this. But to a java programmer is intuitive to …
I started Python programming 4-5 years ago. However, I usually still use Java to write more complicated projects such as data processing platforms for many reasons. One reason is the that writing complicated projects where you have to separate one project into many related and dependent projects much easier. Lately, I started writing a Python stub for an RPC project that I’m working on that would enable me and possibly my team to write Machine Learning code in various languages and …

Today, I decided to use this great donation WordPress plugin for our non-profit website (iraniansptgh.com). We are doing a fundraising to attend the Pittsburgh’s Bicentennial Anniversary Parade and since I’m maintaining the website I decided to quickly look into the existing WordPress plugins that I could find for donations and create a webpage for our fundraising. I decided to finally use Charitable fundraising plugin, about which I have to say it is a GREAT plugin. Even the free version gives you tons of …

Recently, I developed a peer review project on Google APP Engine for a course that I’m the Teacher Assistant for at University of Pittsburgh. And don’t get me wrong this was a significant and nice experience. Google App Engine is really a nice tool and great. It provides many useful features and it provides them in a really simple way reducing the learning over head. As a matter of fact you can learn everything about Google App Engine in one day at most of …
I needed to be able to save the workspace of a project of mine into file so I can load it later. To do so, I needed to save D3 data models into a text file. Here, I’ll explain how one can save a D3 data model into a file. But, before that, I’ll have to explain a number of concepts. JSON JSON or Javascript Object Notion is a open standard format that uses plain text to transmit JS object …
