While searching python client for Hadoop, I found two modules pydoop and hadoopy. It seems both are good enough to work with, but not sure which one has more advantages than the other to install one.
The most comprehensive documentation of this I think is http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2013/01/a-guide-to-python-frameworks-for-hadoop/
Recently, I really think that mrjob has come out ahead as a clear frontrunner. It has a very active mailing list and it seems to be relatively stable and up to date. It also has nice integration with Amazon EMR.

I need to extract news article headlines from Google alerts using Python 3.7, I tried to use "galerts" library, but I couldn't install it because it doesn't have a newer release which is supported by Python 3.7. Is there any alternative way with which I can scrape the headlines?
From the README of the galerts library, there is a link to a google-alerts library - this supports Python 3.

I need to read information from PDF file using, python or robotframework, however I can not install any external libraries due to my company rules. Is it possible and how I could do that?
Of course it is!
You'll just have to write the parser for PDFs from scratch. You can find the PDF 1.7 file specification over here at Adobe.com, it's only 756 pages.
On a more serious note, not being able to use any external libraries in any circumstances is idiotic – that company rule is misguided, and those who enacted it probably are using oodles of unvetted external code anyway.
(If you are allowed to install system packages, though, pdftotext from Poppler might help you a bit.)
I have used this one: https://github.com/euske/pdfminer/blob/master/tools/pdf2txt.py.
Used the script to convert PDFs to strings and then tested the contents.

I've been doing Python applications lately, but I've only tested it on Windows 10 (and sometimes on Windows 7).
Now, I need to create an app to be available on Windows XP and 98 also. From my research, I've seen Python drooped Win9x/NT support at version 2.5.4.
There are alternative builds: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/162317-python-27-for-windows-95/ but, I want to know from your experience, what is the best practice to create this application and to make it as plug and play?
Everything under python 2.7 is just death, try to make it as cross-platform friendly so you can work it out.
One tip I know when working with that kind of stuff is not to use os.system() functions and such. It's better to find a library that interacts with it under the hood.

I would like to know what you suggest as a framework to build UIs for Python applications.
I heard of Qt as a good solution. Is it suggested to learn Qt? What are the alternatives?
Tkinter is built into Python; it's not quite as pretty as Qt, but its ubiquity is worth a lot.

I would like to know from you guys how you have set up your Mac terminal for python programming. I havent done anything big so far (have used ide's until now) with python in terminal but I think that you can do all kinds of fancy things (automatic fill up functions, colors, ...). Any suggestions??
Thanks you guys!
Assuming that Python is already on your computer:
Go to /Applications folder
Then open Utilities
Double Click Terminal to open it and get a command line
type 'python' in the command prompt
Your all set!
