Hello, I will re-precise my question: Has anyone ever implemented a script in Python that generates documentation (especially diagrams, in a format such as e.g. Dia, Inkscape SVG or Tikz) for a PostgreSQL database either from an SQL script or by connecting to the database?

DCT transform (API)? (scipy or otherwise)
I am looking for a 2-D DCT transform function for use in python. Does anyone have any good pointers?

Porting pyftpdlib to Python 3.x: question about tarball naming convention
Hi, I've started the (hard) process of porting pyftpdlib [1] to Python 3. In order to do that I'm working on a separate SVN branch and I plan to maintain two different releases of my software, one for 2.x and another one for 3.x.

Parsing json where object keys are not quoted?
Is there some way to finagle the json module to parse JSON (well, almost JSON) where the object keys are not in quotes? I know it's not 100% valid JSON, but I'm just curious. I don't have control over the data, so I can't make it fit the spec :) ... 9 Dec 2009 18:52

Perl to Python conversion
First off: I am new here and this is my first post after lurking for quite some time. Second off: I don't know much Python---yet. Problem: I have come across a small open source application that I find quite useful. It does have one major flaw though. Its output is in imperial units. Converting isn't a big dea... 28 Dec 2009 08:33
