Project Holy_Python_Grail_Quest - To insert multiple values in multiple keys of an Ordered Dictionary

By -
So, I have been progressing on my Pythonic Quest. On this quest, I have learnt and found about many libraries and functions. Also, I have come across some interesting problems like the one mentioned in the title.

It serves as a temporary stop gap in my application until I implement sql or something better in my application.

So, my requirement is an ordered dictionary having multiple keys with multiple values. This ordered dictionary acts an SQL table having primary key. I hope you get an idea about what I'm talking about.

So, given below is the way I implemented it:

 from collections import OrderedDict

 #First initialize OrderedDict using its constructor
 a = OrderedDict({'name':['James','Bond'], 'id':[101,102']})

#Define keys
key1 = "name"
a.setdefault(key1,[])
a[key1].append( 'Max')

key2 = "id"
a.setdefault(key2,[])
a[key2].append(103)

 Output will be:

OrderedDict ( [ ( 'id', [101, 102, 103] ) , ('name', ['James, ' Bond', 'Max'] ) ] )

 Mission Accomplished.
Hope it will become useful for others also.

Ciao.
And Happy Holi to all.

Project Wild Penguin 22.4.2017: To delete directories inside current directory whose contents are less than a given size

By -
With GNU find and GNU coreutils, and assuming your directories don't have newlines in their names: find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec du -ks {} + | awk '$1 <= 50' | cut -f 2- This will list directories with total contents smaller than 50K. If you're happy with the results and you want to delete them, add | xargs -d \\n rm -rf to the end of the command line. Command: find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec du -ks {} + | awk '$1 <= 50' | cut -f 2- | xargs -d \\n rm -rf Source:  https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/214089/command-to-delete-directories-whose-contents-are-less-than-a-given-size

ANPR Project Day 1: Standard Format of Indian Number Plate

The main purpose of ANPR project is to recognize the characters present in the number plate. To do this first, understanding the standard format of Indian Number Plate is required.  Since June 1, 2005, the Government of India has introduced High Security  Registration (HSR) number plates which are tamper proof. All new motorized  road vehicles that come into the market have to adhere to the new plates, while  existing vehicles have been given two years to comply with. Features  incorporated include the number plate having a patented chromium hologram; a  laser numbering containing the alpha-numeric identification of both the testing  agency and manufacturers and a retro-reflective film bearing a verification  inscription "India" at a 45-degree inclination. The numbers would be embossed  on the plate, rather than being painted for better visibility. The term "India" is to  be in a light shade of blue.  But still most of the vehicl...
