Does python re (regex) have an alternative to \u unicode escape sequences? -


python treats \uxxxx unicode character escape inside string literal (e.g. u"\u2014" gets interpreted unicode character u+2014). discovered (python 2.7) standard regex module doesn't treat \uxxxx unicode character. example:

codepoint = 2014 # got dynamically somewhere  test = u"this string ends \u2014" pattern = r"\u%s$" % codepoint assert(pattern[-5:] == "2014$") # ends escape sequence u+2014 assert(re.search(pattern, test) != none) # failure -- no match (bad) assert(re.search(pattern, "u2014")!= none) # success -- matches (bad)

obviously if able specify regex pattern string literal, can have same effect if regex engine understood \uxxxx escapes:

test = u"this string ends \u2014" pattern = u"\u2014$" assert(pattern[:-1] == u"\u2014") # ends actual unicode char u+2014 assert(re.search(pattern, test) != none)

but if need construct pattern dynamically?

use unichr() function create unicode characters codepoint:

pattern = u"%s$" % unichr(codepoint)

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua...
