Encode/decode sequences of integers to offer the ability to easily compare encoded sequences of integers as though they were decoded (which can be used to implement array comparisons in a database that doesn't offer native arrays).

This module offers the ability to encode/decode a sequence of integers into
strings that can then be used to compare sequences of integers (or paths on
trees) quickly. This module was originally intended to be used in a case-

Use some standard Python libraries to implement a chunked-transfer encoding web server with partially-working gzip support

chunked_server_test.py
Copyright August 3, 2012
Released into the public domain
This implements a chunked server using Python threads and the built-in
BaseHTTPServer module. Enable gzip compression at your own peril - web
browsers seem to have issues, though wget, curl, Python's urllib2, my own
async_http library, and other command-line tools have no problems.

URL Slugs in Javascript (with UTF-8 and Transliteration Support)
/**
* Create a web friendly URL slug from a string.
*
* Requires XRegExp (http://xregexp.com) with unicode add-ons for UTF-8 support.
*
* Although supported, transliteration is discouraged because
* 1) most web browsers support UTF-8 characters in URLs
* 2) transliteration causes a loss of information
