I had a charge to a visa card for $9ish from a company identified only as MERA 877-431-2833 TX. I hadn't used the card for a while, so that sent up flags. I did a quick search on the internet. It seems that this has happened to a bunch of people [800notes]. I've disputed the charge with my company. The only additional information I got from them is that the co is listed as a toy company from texas. Check your records.
Python's context managers are a very neat way of handling code that needs a teardown once you are done. Python objects have do have a destructor method ( __del__ ) called right before the last instance of the object is about to be destroyed. You can do a teardown there. However there is a lot of fine print to the __del__ method. A cleaner way of doing tear-downs is through Python's context manager , manifested as the with keyword. class CrushMe: def __init__(self): self.f = open('test.txt', 'w') def foo(self, a, b): self.f.write(str(a - b)) def __enter__(self): return self def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb): self.f.close() return True with CrushMe() as c: c.foo(2, 3) One thing that is important, and that got me just now, is error handling. I made the mistake of ignoring all those 'junk' arguments ( exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb ). I just skimmed the docs and what popped out is that you need to return True or...
I had this happen too. Hope they rot in hell. There needs to be a way to recover from this kind of theif.
