When using images with a transparent background, there are usually no problems with visible margins when configuring the card. However, if you use images with backgrounds and the aspect ratio of the image does not match the aspect ratio of the element in the template, unwanted margins may appear. In this case, you can use the “stretch” function to scale the image relative to the template element so that the margins do not appear.

To chek if list A is completely included in list B – all elements of list A are present in list B, we can use the “superset” and “subset” methods of the standard Python “set” class.
Converting lists to sets also allows us not to worry about checking for duplicates if they exist in the compared lists.
The “subset” method acts on a smaller set and checks if it is in a larger set.

InputHint – JQUERY/PHP plugin that adds hints with variants of the entered text to input fields, with the possibility of their selection by the user, and filling the field with text from the selected hint.
In order to reduce the size of a long text string, for example, to minimize traffic when sending some text data over the Internet, it can be compressed before sending and unzipped after receiving. The size of transmitted data is significantly reduced in comparison with sending text strings in their original format.
To zip a text string in memory, we can use the “zlib” module.
Let’s use the “compress” function to compress the string. This function takes a byte string as an input parameter and returns the compressed byte string.

import zlib long_text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.' print('long_text', len(long_text)) long_text_compressed = zlib.compress(long_text.encode('utf-8')) print('long_text_compressed', len(long_text_compressed)) # long_text 445 # long_text_compressed 270 |
As we can see with this simplest example, the line size has been reduced by more than one and a half times.
