Re: [BangPypers] Python script to limit access to Internet...
but one thing, networks where you rely on the dhcp server on the router are highly unsafe. Please avoid them. Why so? in the first place, these are setup by the 'technical' staff of the service provider. The root password is usually root123, the firewall is identical on all modems, the permissions are the widest possible and the client machines are usually windows. I use this, but my machines are all linux with proper firewalls, and I can see the sort of rubbish the router lets in in the logs.

Re: [BangPypers] golf problem
a golf course has 18 holes. There are three types of hole - par 3, par 4 and par 5. For a certain type of tournament it is necessary to generate a random list of 6 holes.

The hole number is the first element of each tuple and the par is the second element. This is my solution - http://dpaste.org/wrgG8/ Mine is similar to Gora's solution, except that I have tried to maintain the actual probabilities of each par in the course and minimise the number of passes through the list.

I was just comparing hash in Perl. In Perl 'if i in count: else:' statement

exists. I was thinking why Python has put this restriction. Or is it
something which i did wrongly.
Perl let's you do a += on a dictionary value because Perl is weakly
typed(?) and Python is not. To tell Python to assume that the default
value of your dictionary is an integer instead of anything else, you
will have to use `defaultdict`[1] which is a subclass of the built-in
Python dict. This is how you can use it -
count = defaultdict(int)
with open(hello.txt, r) as f:
for line in f:
words = line.split()
for i in words:
count[i] += 1
print (count)
Hope this helps.

Re: [BangPypers] [JOB] Python developer required in Pune with web development experience
This interesting job comes with industry competitive compensation. how much? I wonder why in India people never mention salary range. One reason for not stating the actual range and just saying according to industry standards is that there is no such thing as a standard compensation.

I do not know much about the software industry, but surely there must be an approximate range - or at least a maximum that a company is willing to shell out? I agree. That is indeed, one way of saying the salary is negotiable.

Re: [BangPypers] [JOB] Python developer required in Pune with web development experience
I agree. That is indeed, one way of saying the salary is negotiable. Having said that, I have never seen companies like Google, Facebook, etc. mention a pay range in job postings, google, facebook etc are the top range - it goes without saying that the salaries will be far above industry standards. I am talking about our local small start ups that no one has ever heard of. I have seen lot of people who say 'we pay very well', but actually the end offer is often peanuts. I personally always specify a maximum - that way every one knows where they stand and people do not need to waste their time applying for a job where the salary is not up to their expectations. That said, the best candidates (as far as I am concerned) are those who say that salary is not the main criterion - what work are you going to give me? While I completely agree with you on this, just FYI, Google (US, don't know about India) pays considerably less than the industry standards but makes it up with the perks.

Re: [BangPypers] Clojure style multimethod functions in python
While python's multimethod module allows function overloading based on types, here's another approach to do the same based on a switching function (clojure style) or on a set of conditions. Clojure style multimethod functions in pythonhttp://codeblog.dhananjaynene.com/2010/08/clojure-style-multi-methods-in-python/ Please don't claim that the above is `Clojure style multimethods'. Clojure multimethods can dispatch on an arbitrary function of `the arguments' given to the multimethod and not just on any arbitrary function of `the properties of the object'.

Re: [BangPypers] Clojure style multimethod functions in python
Dhananjay,
Could you help explain in light of the following (the argument lists are in
bold). The switcher function is provided exactly the same arguments as the
various multimethods. Probably something about clojure I am not aware of ?
Dhananjay
def multi(switcher_func):
Declares a multi map based method which will switch to the
appropriate function based on the results of the switcher func
def dispatcher(*args, **kwargs):
key = *switcher_func(*args, **kwargs)*
func = dispatcher.dispatch_map[key]
if func :
return *func(*args,**kwargs)*
else :
raise Exception(No function defined for dispatch key: %s % key
)
dispatcher.dispatch_map = {}
return dispatcher
Multimethods are supposed to dispatch on the ``value'' returned by the
dispatch function and not just when a specific condition is satisfied.
What will you do when there are multiple possibilities? Ideally, I
should be able to prefer a specific method to another one in case
there is some ambiguity. Yours will always pick the first one that
satisfies the condition, which is again dependent on the order in
which the code is evaluated.
For example, try implementing the following using your code -
http://clojure.org/runtime_polymorphism

Re: [BangPypers] python speed comparison
Emil,
Below given is solution to a puzzle(
http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problemsid=14) in python and c
Python:
import time
startT=time.time()
maxlen=0
longest=0
for i in xrange(1,100):
last=i
cnt=0
while(last 1):
cnt=cnt+1
if(last%2==0):
last=last/2
else:
last=3*last+1
if(cntmaxlen):
maxlen=cnt
longest=i
print time taken (sec) : ,time.time()-startT
print maxlen,longest
Python Output:
time taken (sec) : 99.4702298641
524 837799
C:
#include stdio.h
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int longest = 0;
int maxlen = 0;
int i;
unsigned long last;
for (i = 1; i = 100; i++)
{
last = i;
int cnt = 0;
while (last != 1)
{
cnt++;
if (last % 2 == 0)
last = last / 2;
else
last = 3 * last + 1;
}
if (cnt maxlen)
{
maxlen = cnt;
longest = i;
}
}
printf(longest: %d (%d)\n, longest, maxlen);
return 0;
}
My doubt is that in C the result comes in 1-2 sec but in python it takes 99
secs.I don't expect python to be as fast as c but i cant understand why it
should be so slow in python.i'm new to python so if there is better way to
do the above prog in python please suggest.
Python is undoubtedly slower than C, more so when you use a naive
algorithm. Here is how I had solved this problem in Python on Jan,
2007 (had to really dig out the code from my archives) -
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Solution for problem #14 at Project Euler
# (http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problemsid=14)
# Author: Baishampayan Ghose b.gh...@gnu.org
length = 0
max = 0
start = 1
def cycle(x):
''' Calculate the max cycle length,
ensuring that everything is 1 million
'''
i = 1
while (x != 1):
if (x % 2 == 0):
x = x / 2
else:
x = 3*x + 1
i += 1
return i
for i in xrange(80, 84):
length = cycle(i)
if length max:
max = length
start = i
print start
###
The above code gets the result in 1.7 seconds on my machine (the C
version takes 0.8 secs). The trick here was to calculate the range
properly, which you can arrive at by using some math.
Note that brute force approaches rarely work with project Euler
problems. There is most certainly some math involved somewhere which
can simplify your solution a lot.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
BG

Re: [BangPypers] list problem
Suppose you have the following list:

My problem is that i wish to obtain the following two dictionaries:
xdictstart = {'cat':10, 'dog':1}
xdictend = {'cat':30, 'dog':5}
Any nice way to do the above? Thanks.
Don't know if this is nice, but I might want to solve this problem in
Python like this -
###
from collections import defaultdict
items = [['cat', 10], ['cat', 20], ['cat', 30], ['dog', 5], ['dog',
1], ['dog', 3]]
item_values = defaultdict(list) # this makes the values of this dict
lists by default
starts = {}
ends = {}
for k, v in items:
item_values[k].append(v)
for k in item_values:
starts[k] = min(item_values[k])
ends[k] = max(item_values[k])
print starts, ends
###
Feedback appreciated.

Re: [BangPypers] Why do indians copy?
Why do indian programmers ask for code in Usenet (particularly Google groups) ? Most Indian programmers were never supposed to be programmers. They simply lack the cognitive skills required to be in the business. Yet they are the ones who work for large/medium/small software service companies. So when they face a problem, they have absolutely no clue as to where to look for solutions. They also have no idea about the various programming communities and their modus operandi. They just join some random group and ask for solutions (it's akin to asking for some software in some shareware group). The problem is also inside the organisations; people who ask their seniors questions are deemed to be fools, etc. I think there is no solution to this specific problem. It's more of a culture issue. Unless and until parents let their children do whatever they want and the society treats people from all professions equally, people will keep flocking into the most fashionable profession of that decade. Computer programming is on its way out... management is much more fashionable now; the only difference is that a programmer's work revolves around the Internet and the Internet never forgets :) Regards, BG -- Baishampayan Ghose b.ghose at gmail.com ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

why? in the first place I am extremely sensitive to top posting, but have never used usenet or been in a C forum. I only learned about interleaved posting in about 2002 or so.

And also the vast majority of top posters do so not out of Just because you came late does not mean you can't have the same sensibilities of the Usenet era. In short, many people who joined the mailing list bandwagon recently have learnt the right etiquette from others and by noticing how inline, contextual postings are much better than top posting.
