- This recipe can be used to sort very large files (millions of records) in Python. No record termination character is required, hence a record may contain embedded binary data, newlines, etc. You can specify how many temporary files to use and where they are located. |

- Takes an excel file, dumps out a series of CSV files (one for each sheet, named for the file and sheet) and a YAML file (an array of sheets, each sheet a dict containing the table_name and the table_data, a 2-d array of cell values). Inspired by Bryan Niederberger's "Easy Cross Platform Excel Parsing With Xlrd", http://aspn. activestate. com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recip As opposed to his code, this script makes no attempt to understand the structure of the sheet (look for header cells, etc) -- it simply reads, converts, dumps. |

- This approach at the common "page x of y" problem avoids a double pass (creating the pdf document twice). This is achieved by a customized canvas class which saves the codes into a list instead of creating postscript on pagebreak (showPage). When the document should be saved, we recall each page and draw the pageinfo. The trick is that you can modify the canvas of each page until it is saved (meaning you already know the total pagecount). |
