python - Categorize book authors as fiction vs non-fiction -

-

for own personal purposes, have ~300 authors (full name) of various books. want partition list "fiction authors" , "non-fiction authors". if author writes both, majority gets vote.

i looked @ amazon product search api: can search author (in python), there no way find book category (fiction vs rest):

>>> node = api.item_search('books', author='richard dawkins') >>> book in node.items.item: ...     print book.itemattributes.title

what options? prefer in python.

well, can try service - google book search api. use python can have @ gdata-python-api. in protocol, in result feed there node <dc:subject> - that's need:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/atom"       xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/"       xmlns:gbs="http://schemas.google.com/books/2008"        xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms"       xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005">   <id>http://www.google.com/books/feeds/volumes</id>   <updated>2008-08-12t23:25:35.000</updated>  <!--  loot of information here, removed nodes save space.. -->      <dc:creator>jane austen</dc:creator>     <dc:creator>james kinsley</dc:creator>     <dc:creator>fiona stafford</dc:creator>     <dc:date>2004</dc:date>     <dc:description>       if truth universally acknowledged can shrink quite rapidly        opinion of obsessive comic character, reader may reasonably feel ...     </dc:description>     <dc:format>382</dc:format>     <dc:identifier>8cp-z_g42g4c</dc:identifier>     <dc:identifier>isbn:0192802380</dc:identifier>     <dc:publisher>oxford university press, usa</dc:publisher>     <dc:subject>fiction</dc:subject>     <dc:title>pride , prejudice</dc:title>     <dc:title>a novel</dc:title>   </entry> </feed>

of course, protocol gives overhead information, related book (like visible or not on google books etc.)

javascript - Enclosure Memory Copies -

(or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

(in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
