Python : how to append new elements in a list of list? -

-

here simple program:

 = [[]]*3   print str(a)   a[0].append(1)  a[1].append(2)  a[2].append(3)   print str(a[0])  print str(a[1])  print str(a[2])

here output expecting:

 [[], [], []]  [1]  [2]  [3]

but instead :

 [[], [], []]  [1, 2, 3]  [1, 2, 3]  [1, 2, 3]

there not here !

you must do

a = [[] in xrange(3)]

not

a = [[]]*3

now works:

$ cat /tmp/3.py = [[] in xrange(3)]  print str(a)  a[0].append(1) a[1].append(2) a[2].append(3)  print str(a[0]) print str(a[1]) print str(a[2])  $ python /tmp/3.py [[], [], []] [1] [2] [3]

when a = [[]]*3 same list [] 3 times in list. the same means when change 1 of them change of them (because there 1 list referenced 3 times).

you need create 3 independent lists circumvent problem. , list comprehension. construct here list consists of independent empty lists []. new empty list created each iteration on xrange(3) (the difference between range , xrange not important in case; xrange little bit better because not produce full list of numbers , returns iterator object instead).

c++ - Using OpenSSL in a multi-threaded application -

-
i have been writing soap client application in c++ on ubuntu using openssl https transport , pthreads threading. have number of threads - 1 central data acquisition thread periodically gets worker threads make soap requests via shared mutex protected queues. reading documentation openssl found is openssl thread-safe? in openssl faq describes mechanisms required ensure thread safety when using openssl. implemented , works fine. the reason question conceptual difficulty really. thinking implementing same functionality application has already, instead of using threads, create 2 seperate applications : 1 worker thread (of multiple copies running) , main data acquisition thread. use tcp sockets communicate between 2 rather mutex protected queues. may bad idea not important - confusing me would have implement same functions required ensure openssl thread safety in second approach or not? my guess not have , treated independent (indeed surely must many applications use openssl) re...

All overlapping substrings matching a java regex -

-
is there api method returns (possibly overlapping) substrings match regular expression? for example, have text string: string t = 04/31 412-555-1235; , , have pattern: pattern p = new pattern("\\d\\d+"); matches strings of 2 or more characters. the matches are: 04, 31, 412, 555, 1235. how overlapping matches? i want code return: 04, 31, 41, 412, 12, 55, 555, 55, 12, 123, 1235, 23, 235, 35. theoretically should possible -- there obvious o(n^2) algorithm enumerates , checks substrings against pattern. edit rather enumerating substrings, safer use region(int start, int end) method in matcher . checking pattern against separate, extracted substring might change result of match (e.g. if there non-capturing group or word boundary check @ start/end of pattern). edit 2 actually, it's unclear whether region() expect zero-width matches. specification vague, , experiments yield disappointing results. for example: string line = "xx90xx"; strin...
