Python - Anagram generator

# python anagram generator 
# 
# This anagram generator uses a 
# text file as a reference for 
# appropriate words. 
# 
# The word file I used is in the 
# following format (each word has 
# it's own line): 
# 
# act 
# addition 
# adjustment 
# advertisement 
# after 
# again 
# against 
# ... and on and on... 
#

        return False
    attempt, original = attempt.lower(), original.lower()
    for character in attempt:
        position = original.find(character)
        if (position == -1):
            return False
        original = original.replace(character, '', 1)

Python - Anagram detector

# A python Anagram detector 
# manipulate anagrams with python 
# 
# Python could no doubt solve this in 
# many ways.... here is one: 
 
 
 
# determine whether a string is an anagram 
# of another string 
def isAnagramOf(attempt, original):
    # all the same case 
    attempt, original = attempt.lower(), original.lower()
    for character in attempt:
        position = original.find(character)
        if (position == -1):
            return False
        original = original.replace(character, '', 1)
    return True
 
 
original = "Texas Ranger" 
 
 
print("Is Rage an anagram of", original, "=",
      isAnagramOf("Anger", original))
print("Is Extra Angers an anagram of", original, "=",
      isAnagramOf("Extra Angers", original))
print("Is Extra Angered an anagram of", original, "=",
      isAnagramOf("Extra Angered", original))
 
#   my output: 
#   Is Rage an anagram of Texas Ranger = True 
#   Is Extra Angers an anagram of Texas Ranger = True 
#   Is Extra Angered an anagram of Texas Ranger = False 
 
 

Python - quickly update urls in a web page

# update a webpages url references. 
# Your web page has a collection of images and you 
# want to update all the "folder1" references 
# to the new folder you've populated called "newfolder" 
 
# normally you would open the actual html file 
# and iterate through the file one line at a time 
# like in this post.  
 
# but for simplicity sake lets just use a multi line string 
# for the example 
theString = """ <img src="folder1/pic2324.jpg" /> 
<img src="folder1/pic2255.png" /> 
<img src="folder2/pic552.jpg" /> 
<img src="folder1/pica2f.jpg" /> 
 
""" 
 
# all you need is to iterate through the 
# file and replace 'folder1' with 'newfolder' 
for line in theString.split('\n'):
    line = line.replace("folder1/", "newfolder/")
    print line
 
#output: 
#     <img src="newfolder/pic2324.jpg" /> 
#    <img src="newfolder/pic2255.png" /> 
#    <img src="folder2/pic552.jpg" /> 
#    <img src="newfolder/pica2f.jpg" /> 
 

Python - generate double dutch

# this example is similar 
# to the double dutch generator 
 
def createDoubleDutch(word):
    ''' 
        create and return a double 
        dutch version of word 
    ''' 
    for v in ("a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "y"):
        # double dutch-ize each vowel 
        word = word.replace(v, v+"b"+v)
    return word
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ddSentence = "" 
    for w in "My sample sentence for double dutch".split(' '):
           ddSentence += createDoubleDutch(w) + " " 
    print ddSentence.strip()
 
#output: 
# Myby sabamplebe sebentebencebe fobor doboubublebe dubutch 
 
 

Python - string stripping

# string manipulations
# striping characters out of strings

aUrl = "http://www.example.com"

# strip, lstrip, rstrip only remove characters
#   on the either edge (strip), the left edge (lstrip),
#   and the right edge(rstrip)
print aUrl.strip("htp:/w.com")

#outputs:
#   example

print aUrl.lstrip("htp:/")

#outputs:
#   www.example.com

print aUrl.rstrip(".com")

#outputs:
#   http://www.example

# to strip out all occurances
#   of a character use replace()
print aUrl.replace('m', "")

#outputs:
#   http://www.exaple.co

Python remove vowels from a sentence

# create a tuple with vowels....yes I include y as a vowel
vowels = 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'y'

# movie quote for our sentence
sentence = "My name is Werner Brandes, my voice is my password, verify me."


# iterate through the tuple of vowels
for vowel in vowels:
    # replace the vowel with nothing

    sentence = sentence.replace(vowel, '')

# display the vowel-less sentence!
print sentence

'M nm s Wrnr Brnds, m vc s m psswrd, vrf m.'


# additional string functions: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html

# manipulate vowels to create pig latin or double dutch
