            You can add width to .dates itself and change its display property because width won't wrok for inline elements. I moved the character '-' outside so it looks nicer. You can also wrap this in and give some margin to make space so it looks even more nicer.

            Transforming XML to XML in Cardbox
            Asked 2021-May-10 at 01:23

            Recently I started using a flat file manager called Cardbox to maintain lists of my film and music collections. Cardbox outputs records in both CSV and XML formats and I use the latter to create web pages so that I can easily proofread my work. I would like to convert it to a form of XML that uses the field names as elements rather than as attributes of a common element and eliminates the ... tags. The software will accept an XSLT transform to do this.

            Here is an example of what I would like to do.

            What am I missing

            You are missing the fact that your XML puts its elements in a namespace. As a result, your templates do not match anything, and the entire output is produced by the built-in template rules. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/34762628/3016153 how to handle this.

            The other thing is that there is no need to list each field and its name explicitly in the stylesheet. You can construct a more dynamic stylesheet that can handle any number of fields, with any names (as long as the names are also valid element names):

            You can do it with the $event parameter. Make sure to compare your values safely.

            If your value is not in the right type or has spaces or unwanted chars, this c.state == val might not work.

            You can use the trim function to compare your value safely: c.state.trim() == val.trim()

            Tweepy: how do I pass data from def on_data to another thread?
            Asked 2021-Apr-02 at 20:08

            I'm very new to Python and I am playing around with my Raspberry Pi and Tweepy. I have some stuff connected via GPIO, and I'd like to control a motor using the sentiment polarity value. The motor should turn on and off like a heart beat (on for 0.1 sec, off for a second, then loops). I would like to change the BPM of the motor according to the sentiment polarity value. However, if I add sleep to the code, Tweepy naturally slows down. Therefore I want to run the motor code in another thread, so that on_data can run without any sleep code, and then I can do any further processing separate from on_data.

            For the life of me I can't figure out how to pass the value to that separate thread, however. What's the easiest way to do that?

            Your issue is that tweet is only local to your on_data method.

            My recommendation would be to save tweet as a class attribute instead.

            How to normalize a nested JSON key into a pandas dataframe
            Asked 2021-Mar-03 at 22:10

            I'm new to Python and APIs in general, so this is probably a basic question with an easy answer. I'm trying to get data on congressional representatives from Propublica's API using Python. I can get the REST API to run, but I'm having problems correctly structuring the resulting json data as a dataframe. I think it's because there are multiple nested levels in the data. I tried normalizing the data, but I can only get it to work for the first nested level.

            This is the code I have. Please note I've removed my API key, but you can get one quickly and easily here.
