Python 3 remove duplicate weblinks with extra character rstrip -


using python 3. trying pull unique links website , seem have code working except few links have / @ end.

example: program include http://www.google.com & http://www.google.com/

i'd make sure program removes last character ensure no duplicates return. have researched rstrip() can't seem work. here code: 

import bs4 bs import urllib.request import urllib.parse   source = urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2016/demo/popest/state-total.html').read() soup = bs.beautifulsoup(source,'lxml')  filename = "uniqueweblinks.csv" f = open(filename, "w") headers = "weblinks\n" f.write(headers)  all_links = soup.find_all('a')  url_set = set()  link in all_links:     web_links = link.get("href")     ab_url = urllib.parse.urljoin('https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2016/demo/popest/state-total.html', web_links)     print (ab_url)     if ab_url , ab_url not in url_set:         f.write(str(ab_url) + "\n")         url_set.add(ab_url)

i'd keep simple , explicit how you're cleaning urls. example, strip last character if it's slash (/) or hash (#) (if url ends hash, it's same not ending hash). after glancing @ data, i'd remove blank urls because that's not you're looking for.

base_url = 'https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2016/demo/popest/state-total.html'  all_links = soup.find_all('a')  def clean_links(tags, base_url):     cleaned_links = set()     tag in tags:         link = tag.get('href')         if link none:             continue         if link.endswith('/') or link.endswith('#'):             link = link[-1]         full_url = urllib.parse.urljoin(base_url, link)         cleaned_links.add(full_url)     return cleaned_links  cleaned_links = clean_links(all_links, base_url)  link in cleaned_links:     f.write(str(link) + '\n')

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
