+1 to all of these as these are probably next major roadblocks after 
numpy for Py3K usage.


From the web page, having both f2py and/or Fwrap working with Py3K 
should be a specific goal (not that I use these). Also having Fwrap (as 
I understood the recent discussion) supporting the Fortran 77 used in Scipy.

We'd be happy to mentor a project here.  To my knowledge, nothing has
been done, other than upgrade to CXX6 (our C++ extension lib).  Most,
but not all, of our extension code is exposed through CXX, which as of
v6 is python3 compliant so that should help.  But I suspect there is
enough work to justify a GSOC project on the mpl side.

Re: [Numpy-discussion] printing structured arrays

2010-03-09 Thread Tim Michelsen
Hello,
thanks to all who responded and have their input here.

I added a little code snippet to show the view and reshape:

http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Recarray

What do you think?
Is this worth to go into the official docs?
The page http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/basics.rec.html is quite
sparse...

I still wonder why there is not a quick function for such a view /
reshape conversion.


Best regards,

I think it's pretty much done. Even f2py should work. What's left is 
mostly testing it, and fixing any issues that crop up.

Note that the SVN Numpy should preferably still see more testing on 
Python 2 against real-world packages that use it, before release. There's 
been a significant amount of code churn.

 - port SciPy to Py3K
 
 This project might be more appropriate, although I'm not clear on what
 needs to be done.

I think porting Scipy proceeds in these steps:

1. Set up a similar 2to3-using build system for Python 3 as currently in
   Numpy.

2. Change the code so that it works both on Python 2 and Python 3.
   This can be done one submodule at a time.

   For C code, the changes required are mainly PyString usage. Some macros
   need to be defined to allow the same code to build on Py2 and Py3.
   Scipy is probably easier to port than Numpy here, since IIRC it doesn't
   mess much with strings, and its use of the Python C-API is much more
   limited. Also, parts written with Cython need essentially no porting.

   For Python code, the main issue is again bytes vs. unicode fixes,
   mainly inserting numpy.compat.asbytes() at correct locations to make
   e.g. bytes literals. All I/O code should be changed to work solely with
   Bytes. Since 2to3 takes care of most the other things, the remaining
   work is in fixing things it mishandles.

I don't have a good estimate for how much work is in making Scipy work. 
I'd guess the work needed is probably slightly less than for Numpy.

[Numpy-discussion] Memory leak with matrices?

2010-03-09 Thread David Paul Reichert
Hi,

I've got two issues:

First, the following seems to cause a memory leak,
using numpy 1.3.0:

a = matrix(ones(1))

while True:
a += 0


This only seems to happen when a is a matrix rather
than an array, and when the short hand '+=' is used.

Second, I'm not sure whether that's a bug or whether
I just don't understand what's going on, but when a is a column
array, (e.g. a = ones((10, 1))), then

a -= a[0,:]

only subtracts from a[0, 0], whereas not using the short hand
or using something else than a on the righthand side seems
to subtract from all rows as expected.

Thanks a lot,

David

Thanks, the docs for working with arrays with structured dtypes are sparse

Note that in your example .view(np.ndarray) doesn't do anything

 struct_diffdtype[['str_var', 'x', 
 'y']].view(np.ndarray).reshape(len(struct_diffdtype),-1)
array([[(1.0, 'string1', 2.0)],
   [(3.0, 'string2', 4.0996)]],
  dtype=[('x', 'f8'), ('str_var', '|S7'), ('y', 'f8')])

 struct_diffdtype[['x', 
 'y']].view(np.ndarray).reshape(len(struct_diffdtype),-1)
array([[(1.0, 2.0)],
   [(3.0, 4.0996)]],
  dtype=[('x', 'f8'), ('y', 'f8')])


view on columns with floating values  (is this a copy???)

 struct_diffdtype[['x', 'y']].view(float).reshape(len(struct_diffdtype),-1)
array([[ 1. ,  2. ],
   [ 3. ,  4.1]])

and float view on strings is not possible

 struct_diffdtype[['str_var', 'x', 
 'y']].view(float).reshape(len(struct_diffdtype),-1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
ValueError: new type not compatible with array.

Is there a good utility script to check dependencies between
subpackages? (import scipy.stats loads a very large number of modules)

Re: [Numpy-discussion] printing structured arrays

2010-03-09 Thread Tim Michelsen
 I still wonder why there is not a quick function for such a view /
 reshape conversion.
 
 Because it is difficult (impossible?) to do in the general case. .view() 
 really isn't that bad, in fact, it remarkably powerful and flexible!
I would not drop .view() but rather add a convenience function for
struct_1dtype_float_alt = struct_1dtype.view((np.float,
len(struct_1dtype.dtype.names)))

Be sure to set Pythonpath so that you get the correct Numpy version. If

Alternatively, just replace numpymemoryview.c with the attached one

Be sure to set Pythonpath so that you get the correct Numpy version. If
it segfaults, proceed to (under numpy/core/tests)

nosetests test_multiarray.py
nosetests test_multiarray.py:TestNewBufferProtocol
   

neither crash, so the problem is not there

I followed your lead and tried each script and ended up with :

Since the crash occurs in cyclic garbage collection, I'm doubting a bit
the numpy/core/src/multiarray/numpymemoryview.c implementation, since
that's the only part in Numpy that supports that.

Alternatively, just replace numpymemoryview.c with the attached one
which has cyclic GC stripped, and see if you still get the crash.

 Thanks

 I still couldn't figure out how floating point numbers look nicely on screen
 in cases like yours (i.e., trying numpy.array2string()) but you can make
 sure by using numpy.savetxt(file, array, fmt=%.1f) you will always have
 specified precision in the written file.

Using numpy.array2string() gives the same format as the output above.

Using numpy.savetxt() creates the same nicely formatted file
containing the lines below for both structured and unstructured
arrays.
1.0 2.0
3.0 4.1

But I was mainly curious about this because I just want to quickly
dump data out to the console for debugging, and the unstructured
format is obviously much easier to read. It seems like from other
discussion in the thread that the quick solution is to convert back to
a unstructured array with something like view((float, 2)), but that
seems a bit clumsy.

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Memory leak in signal.convolve2d? Alternative?

2010-03-09 Thread David Reichert
Hi,

Just another update:

signal.convolve and signal.fftconvolve indeed do not seem to have the
problem,
however, they are slower by at least a factor of 2 for my situation.

Moreover, I also tried out the numpy 1.4.x branch and the latest scipy svn,
and a short test seemed to indicate that the memory leak still was present
(albeit, interestingly, memory usage grew much slower), but then something
else stopped working in my main program, so I converted back to scipy 7.1
and numpy 1.3.0 for now.

I might have confused things somewhere along the line, though, I'm
not an expert with these things. Maybe other people can confirm the problem
one way or another.

Thanks,

David

 Given Titus' email, this is the most likely list of projects we will
 get accepted this year:

 - finish porting NumPy to Py3K
 I think Numpy is pretty much done. It needs use testing to wring out any
 small oddities, but it doesn't look to me like a GSOC project at the
 moment. Maybe Pauli can weigh in here.
 I think it's pretty much done. Even f2py should work. What's left is
 mostly testing it, and fixing any issues that crop up.

 Note that the SVN Numpy should preferably still see more testing on
 Python 2 against real-world packages that use it, before release. There's
 been a significant amount of code churn.

 - port SciPy to Py3K
 This project might be more appropriate, although I'm not clear on what
 needs to be done.
 I think porting Scipy proceeds in these steps:

 1. Set up a similar 2to3-using build system for Python 3 as currently in
   Numpy.

 2. Change the code so that it works both on Python 2 and Python 3.
   This can be done one submodule at a time.

   For C code, the changes required are mainly PyString usage. Some macros
   need to be defined to allow the same code to build on Py2 and Py3.
   Scipy is probably easier to port than Numpy here, since IIRC it doesn't
   mess much with strings, and its use of the Python C-API is much more
   limited. Also, parts written with Cython need essentially no porting.

   For Python code, the main issue is again bytes vs. unicode fixes,
   mainly inserting numpy.compat.asbytes() at correct locations to make
   e.g. bytes literals. All I/O code should be changed to work solely with
   Bytes. Since 2to3 takes care of most the other things, the remaining
   work is in fixing things it mishandles.

 I don't have a good estimate for how much work is in making Scipy work.
 I'd guess the work needed is probably slightly less than for Numpy.
 
 a few questions:
 
 Is scipy.special difficult or time consuming to port?

I don't think it would be - most of it is fortran, so assuming f2py 
works correctly for py3k, there should not be big issues.

 In the build system, is it possible not to build some subpackages that
 might be slow in being ported, e.g. ndimage, weave?

The way I used to do when porting to a new compiler/new platform is 
simply to comment everything but one package at a time in 
scipy/setup.py. linalg/lib/clusters are the first ones to port. I don't 
think special depends on much more than linalg/lib, but I could be wrong.

What happens if you only import the umath_tests module (or something, it's a 
.so under numpy.core)?

Just importing test_ufunc.py probably doesn't run a lot of extension code. 
Since you don't get crashes only by importing numpy, I really don't see many 
alternatives any more...

 which looks identical to the bt I sent to Robert earlier on.

  thinking about it, this morning there was a fedora update to python, so
 I am using 2.6.2-4.fc12.
 Looks like the problem is in python itself, hence this piece of info.


  That the problem would be in Python is not so clear to me. Can you try
 running it with the previous Python shipped by Fedora? Do you see the
 problem then? What's the previous version, btw?


  2.6.2-1 IIRC. I would have to check, and I am not sure how to either query
 this information or step back one update up with yum :(

 Memory errors are somewhat difficult to debug. Can you try running only
 a certain subset of the tests, first

   nosetests numpy.core


  crash

 Be sure to set Pythonpath so that you get the correct Numpy version. If
 it segfaults, proceed to (under numpy/core/tests)

   nosetests test_multiarray.py
   nosetests test_multiarray.py:TestNewBufferProtocol


  neither crash, so the problem is not there

 I followed your lead and tried each script and ended up with :
 [co...@jarrett tests]$ nosetests test_ufunc.py
 .
 --
 Ran 13 tests in 1.146s

 OK
 python: Modules/gcmodule.c:277: visit_decref: Assertion `gc-gc.gc_refs !=
 0' failed.
 Aborted (core dumped)

 so test_ufunc.py seems to be at stake

  Since the crash occurs in cyclic garbage collection, I'm doubting a bit
 the numpy/core/src/multiarray/numpymemoryview.c implementation, since
 that's the only part in Numpy that supports that.

 Alternatively, just replace numpymemoryview.c with the attached one
 which has cyclic GC stripped, and see if you still get the crash.

 Cheers,
 Pauli

Python 2.6.2 is rather old by now, the bugfix releases
