I&#39;m not 100% sure this is what you&#39;re looking for, but the `.. contents::` directive may help.  By default, it&#39;ll give you the headings for the whole page, wherever you put the directive.  With `:local:` specified, it will generate a local TOC for the headings below where you put the directive (handy for sub-section tocs).

    .. contents:: Table of Contents
        :depth: 3

More details here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#table-of-contents


I had more luck with:

```
.. contents:: Table of Contents
   :depth: 1
   :local:
   :backlinks: none
```

The backlinks gets rid of the annoying links back from the headings to the toc.


I am implementing a script in powershell and getting the below error. The sceen shot is there exactly what I entered and the resulting error.

At this path there is file `Get-NetworkStatistics.ps1` which I got from [Technet Gallery](http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-NetworkStatistics-66057d71). I am following the steps from it, though there are errors.

I am working with Xcode 6, and I&#39;m trying to recreate the code demoed during session 401 &quot;What&#39;s new in Xcode 6&quot;. I&#39;ve added an image to Images.xcassets (called Sample) and within the playground file I&#39;m trying to access this image, as demoed.

My code is as follows (like the demo):

    var sample = UIImage(named: &quot;Sample&quot;)

However, I can&#39;t get it to work like the demo. Am I missing something?

How to include a local table of contents into Sphinx doc?

I tried 

    .. toc:: 


But that doesn&#39;t seem to have any effect: nothing is inserted in the document.

Basically I need links to the sections in the current page to be placed at a certain location of each page.

Is this possible?

Using psycopg2 package with python 2.7 I keep getting the titled error: psycopg2.DatabaseError: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected

It only occurs when I add a `WHERE column LIKE &#39;&#39;%X%&#39;&#39;` clause to my pgrouting query. An example:

    SELECT id1 as node, cost FROM PGR_Driving_Distance(
      &#39;SELECT id, source, target, cost 
         FROM edge_table
         WHERE cost IS NOT NULL and column LIKE &#39;&#39;%x%&#39;&#39; &#39;,
      1, 10, false, false)

Threads on the internet suggest it is an issue with SSL intuitively, but whenever I comment out the pattern matching side of things the query and connection to the database works fine.

This is on a local database running Xubuntu 13.10.

After further investigation: It looks like this may be cause by the pgrouting extension crashing the database because it is a bad query and their are not links which have this pattern.

Will post an answer soon ...




Postgres SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected with python and psycopg

When I&#39;m debugging in Python using IPython, I sometimes hit a break-point and I want to examine a variable that is currently a generator. The simplest way I can think of doing this is converting it to a list, but I&#39;m not clear on what&#39;s an easy way of doing this in one line in `ipdb`, since I&#39;m so new to Python.

Convert generator object to list for debugging

I have a fairly large dataset in the form of a dataframe and I was wondering how I would be able to split the dataframe into two random samples (80% and 20%) for training and testing.

Thanks!

How do I create test and train samples from one dataframe with pandas?

In debugging my code, I want to use a list comprehension. However, it seems I cannot evaluate a list comprehension from the debugger when I&#39;m inside a function.

I am using Python 3.4.

**Script contents**:

    $ cat test.py 
    #!/usr/bin/python
    
    def foo():
        x = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4]
    
        print(x)
    
    foo()

**Interactive debugging:**

    $ python3 -mpdb test.py                                                                                                                                           
    &gt; /tmp/test.py(3)&lt;module&gt;()
    -&gt; def foo():
    (Pdb) step
    &gt; /tmp/test.py(8)&lt;module&gt;()
    -&gt; foo()
    (Pdb) 
    --Call--
    &gt; /tmp/test.py(3)foo()
    -&gt; def foo():
    (Pdb) 
    &gt; /tmp/test.py(4)foo()
    -&gt; x = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4]
    (Pdb) 
    &gt; /tmp/test.py(6)foo()
    -&gt; print(x)
    (Pdb) p [x for _ in range(1)]
    *** NameError: name &#39;x&#39; is not defined
    (Pdb) p x
    [1, 2, 3, 3, 4]

Why is `x` unknown to the list comprehension?  How could I evaluate a list comprehension from the debugger, or achieve an equivalent behaviour?  Is this a bug, or is it some sort of fundamental limitation to the debugger?

I looked at previous similar questions and got only more confused.

In python 3.4, I want to read an html page as a string, given the url.

In perl I do this with LWP::Simple, using get().

A matplotlib 1.3.1 example says: `import urllib; u1=urllib.urlretrieve(url)`.
python3 can&#39;t find `urlretrieve`.

I tried `u1 = urllib.request.urlopen(url)`, which appears to get an `HTTPResponse` object, but I can&#39;t print it or get a length on it or index it.

`u1.body` doesn&#39;t exist. I can&#39;t find a description of the `HTTPResponse` in python3.

Is there an attribute in the `HTTPResponse` object which will give me the raw bytes of the html page?

(Irrelevant stuff from other questions include `urllib2`, which doesn&#39;t exist in my python, csv parsers, etc.)

**Edit:**

I found something in a prior question which partially (mostly) does the job:

    u2 = urllib.request.urlopen(&#39;http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=aapl&amp;ql=1&#39;)

    for lines in u2.readlines():
        print (lines)

I say &#39;partially&#39; because I don&#39;t want to read separate lines, but just one big string.

I could just concatenate the lines, but every line printed has a character &#39;b&#39; prepended to it.

Where does that come from?

Again, I suppose I could delete the first character before concatenating, but that does get to be a kloodge.

I am quite new in using sphinx, Doing documentation for the first time for the python project.
How to embed image for example in the sphinx documentation ?

How do we embed images in sphinx docs?

So, reStructuredText is
[the recommended way](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0287) for Python code
documentation, if you try hard enough, you can
[find in the sphinx documentation](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/domains.html#python-signatures)
how to normalize your function signature documentation. All given examples are
single-line, but what if a parameter description is multi-line like the following
?

    def f(a, b):
        &quot;&quot;&quot; Does something with a and b

        :param a: something simple
        :param b: well, it&#39;s not something simple, so it may require more than eighty
                  chars
        &quot;&quot;&quot;

What is the syntax/convention for that ? Should I indent or not ? will it break reSTructuredText rendering ?


Multi-line description of a parameter description in python docstring

I have simply no idea on how can I link to another document in the reST file.

I want to link a file named `install.rst` to my quickstart guide in a paragraph. I don&#39;t know how can I achieve this.

Please can you also refer to a great resource from where I can look up syntax for rest. The default quickstart is a little boring and not involves great depth discussion of using rest with sphinx.

The doc in question is : http://todx.rtfd.io

How can I link/reference another reST file in the documentation?

I uploaded a package to PyPi using:

    python setup.py register -r pypi
    python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi


I&#39;m trying to modify the description, I wrote (**please don&#39;t edit the formatting of the following piece of code, I made it on purpose to demonstrate my problem**):

    **my plugin**
    
    This plugin enables you to ... For example:
    ```python
    @attr(section=&#39;MySection&#39;, id=1)
    def test_function(self):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;
        Bla bla bla
        &quot;&quot;&quot;
        pass
    ```

However, the text appears as it is, *without* the markdown formatting. What am I doing wrong?
