When are python objects candidates for garbage collection?
A python object or variable will be eligible for garbage collection as soon as all references to it go out of scope or are manually deleted (del x). We would have to presume there were no references to the object anywhere else for it to be garbage collected.
Read MoreHow to exit from a Python if clause?
It is not possible to exit from an if block of Python code. The break keyword does appear in if block but it has to inside a loop. It is however possible to exit from entire program from inside if block by sys.exit()
Read MoreWhat is the difference between the != and <> operators in Python?
In Python 2.x, both != and operators are available to check if two operands are not equal. Both return true if operands are not equal and false if they are equal.In Python 3.x, operator has been deprecated.
Read MoreWhy there is not do...while loop in Python?
PEP 315 (Python Enhancement Proposal) to include do..while statement has been rejected because it doen't fit in the general format of indented block statement: indented block used by every other Python compound statement. In words of Guido Van Rossum - "Please reject the PEP. More variations along these lines won't make the language more elegant or easier to learn. They'd just save a few hasty folks some typing while making others who have to read/maintain their code wonder what it means".
Read MoreWhat is the max length of a Python string?
With a 64-bit Python installation, and 64 GB of memory, a Python 2 string of around 63 GB should be quite feasible. If you can upgrade your memory much beyond that, your maximum feasible strings should get proportionally longer. But this comes with a hit to the runtimes.With a typical 32-bit Python installation, of course, the total memory you can use in your application is limited to something like 2 or 3 GB (depending on OS and configuration), so the longest strings you can use will be much smaller than in 64-bit installations with very high amounts of RAM.

The following link is a good reference document on python exceptionshttps://docs.python.org/2/library/exceptions.html
Read MoreIs it possible to use Python modules in Octave?
There is no straightforward way to do this. But it is possible to run a Python program and parse the output. You can execute any shell command using the function system (cmd, flag). The second argument is optional. If it is present, the output of the command is returned by system as a string. If it is not supplied, any output from the command is printed, with the standard output filtered through the pager. For example,output = system ("python /path/to/your/python/script.py", 1)
Read MoreHow to use Python modules over Paramiko (SSH)?
You connect and use a python module on the remote computer over SSH, as SSH only provides limited functionality so calling the module isn't possible.You can call a script on the remote server and run that as a way of getting around this problem. To get a result from the script, you can look at it by reading the lines from stdout if you're logging your result. Alternatively, you can write the result to a file and then read the file once the result has been generated and written to the file.If you want to do this over the network ...
Read MoreHow to prohibit a Python module from calling other modules?
You can use "Sandboxed Python". A "Sandboxed Python" would let you permit or forbid modules, limit execution slices, permit or deny network traffic, constrain filesystem access to a particular directory (floated as "/"), and so on. It is also referred to as RestrictedExecution. There are many ways to implement sandboxing on Python. You could Modify the CPython Runtime, Use Another Runtime, Use Operating System Support, etc to implement such a sandbox. You can read more about sandboxing at: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SandboxedPythonPypi has a package called RestrictedPython(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RestrictedPython) that is a defined subset of the Python language which allows to provide a program input ...
Read MoreDo recursive functions in Python create a new namespace each time the function calls itself?
Yes, a function call (any function call, not just recursive ones) creates a new namespace. BUT, when given as parameters, OBJECTS are passed by reference.So, the new namespace get its own copy of this reference but it still refers to the same object as in the calling function, and if you change the content of that object, you will notice the change in the calling function.To be more specific, Whenever the Interpreter encounters a call to a function, its creates a frame object, which is pushed to a frame stack. Each time a frame is created, that frame is given ...
