Generating a 'X','Y' string from an array for an IN query with as little code as possible in Python and PHP. This is done as a learning exercise for me to see how list comprehensions work, being used for some random Twitter "your friends signed up" worker.
<?php
$users = [['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Jack'], ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jill']];
echo implode(',', array_map(function($u) { return "'{$u['id']}'"; }, $users));

Apple Push Notification (APN) is a whiny little bitch which needs a new connection every single time. Using time.sleep(1) will cause the SSH connection to break after 4 or 5 pushes, so you need to make a new connection each time. Yay.
from apns import APNs, Payload, PayloadAlert
import time
tokens = [u'tokenhexabcdef0123456789']
apns = APNs(use_sandbox=True, cert_file='client.pem', key_file='key.pem')
alert = PayloadAlert("", loc_key="FOO", loc_args=['Some Guy'])
payload = Payload(alert=alert, sound="default", badge=1)
for token in tokens:
