primes - Python 2.7.6(64-bit) overflow error in primality testing -


i running following code, version of erathosthene's sieve in python 2.7.6 64-bit on win8 on computer 4gb ram. 

def erathosthenes_sieve2(n):     '''tests n>1 primality using improved erathostene's method'''       if n==2:           return true               if n%2==0:           return false               limit=long(math.floor(math.sqrt(n)))       in xrange(3,limit+1,2):          if n%i==0:              return false        return true

when call function sufficiently big numbers, example 48112959837082048697(which prime) following error.

erathosthenes_sieve2(48112959837082048697)   --------------------------------------------------------------------------- overflowerror                             traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-28-b0a5b24a8b94> in <module>() ----> 1 erathosthenes_sieve2(48112959837082048697)  d:\repos\primalitytests\eratosthenes2.py in erathosthenes_sieve2(n)       9         return false      10     limit=long(math.floor(math.sqrt(n))) ---> 11     in xrange(3,limit+1,2):      12        if n%i==0:      13            return false  overflowerror: python int large convert c long

what ways used work around problem? know not algorithm testing primes, part of project of comparing efficiency of different primality tests, please ignore that.

the issue xrange takes c long, meaning can't have arbitrary precision int. there way around this. to quote docs:

cpython implementation detail: xrange() intended simple , fast. implementations may impose restrictions achieve this. c implementation of python restricts arguments native c longs (“short” python integers), , requires number of elements fit in native c long. if larger range needed, alternate version can crafted using itertools module:

islice(count(start, step), (stop-start+step-1+2*(step<0))//step)

so in case:

for in islice(count(3, 2), ((limit+1)-3+2-1+2*(2<0))//2):     ...

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod

openid - Okta: Failed to get authorization code through API call -

i'm integrating okta own idp server using okta's api. i'm implementing authorization code flow following steps below: in own server, use /api/v1/authn endpoint sessiontoken. use sessiontoken obtain authorization calling endpoint: /oauth2/v1/authorize?client_id=" + clientid + "&sessiontoken=" + sessiontoken + "&response_type=code&response_mode=query&scope=openid&redirect_uri=" + redirecturl + "&state=evanyang&nonce=" it's supposed return response status code 302 , location header containing redirect url code value. however, keep getting response status code 200 , without location header, html body saying "you using unsupported browser." , "javascript disabled on browser." according api documentation: http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/oidc.html#authentication-request , sessiontoken parameter sufficient this: an okta one-time sessiontoken. allows api-based

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
