Wrapping C or C++ code using ctypes I think this could be very useful, because this is not that hard, but there are some pitfalls and difficulties which you cannot solve if you do not have examples. It would be a great contribution to have several samples grouped in one place, to know the best practices and to easily and quickly adapt its code. requested by Delgan 6,945

Dealing with folders I had created this Topic but it was deleted. I would like to contribute this example: [Deleting folders recursively] Delete a folder which contains subfolders or files can be achieved in this way: import shutil shutil.rmtree('/path/to/your/dir/') I tried to add this example to Topic Files & Folders I/O but the maximum number of examples are reached. So a new topic like this could be useful. requested by avb 631

openssl OpenSSL a Python interface to OpenSSL. OpenSSL is a rather thin wrapper around (a subset of) the OpenSSL library. With thin wrapper we mean that a lot of the object methods do nothing more than calling a corresponding function in the OpenSSL library requested by Chinmay Hegde 60

PyMC 2 & 3 Python is becoming a powerful scientific computation tool, and with it there is plenty of statistics. The approach of Bayesian Interference is important but can become particularly complex; PyMC attempts to abstract these difficulties away. I propose that there are good worked examples of using PyMC, whose documentation takes a statistician to translate. requested by Tristan 42 1 comment

Complexities of built-in functions associated with different structures Complexities of built-in functions associated with different structures by briefly explaining their underlying C code. Eg:- append() function Also this needs to explain entirely that structure itself i.e. the C code behind it. Eg:- To explain the append() function related with the list, briefly the list structure C code must be explained. requested by pmsh.93 1
