Ping an email address to see if it exists. This script resolves MX records to find the SMTP server responsible for delivering mail to the address, connects to it, and starts to send a message to the address. It disconnects before the message is sent.

# Check to see if an email address exists by looking up MX records and connecting
# to the address's home SMTP server. It then starts to send a message to the address
# but quits before the message is actually sent.

How to recover lost Python source code if it's still resident in-memory

How to recover lost Python source code if it's still resident in-memory

I screwed up using git ("git checkout --" on the wrong file) and managed to delete the code I had just written... but it was still running in a process in a docker container. Here's how I got it back, using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrasite/ and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncompyle6

Attach a shell to the docker container

Install GDB (needed by pyrasite)

apt-get update && apt-get install gdb
