ANNOUNCE: twill 0.8.4
ANNOUNCING twill v0.8.4. twill is a simple language for browsing the Web. It's designed for automated testing of Web sites, but it can be used to interact with Web sites in a variety of ways. In particular, twill supports form submission, cookies, redirects, and HTTP authentication. A twill script to use the I'm feeling lucky button on Google looks like this: setlocal query twill Python go http://www.google.com/ fv 1 q $query submit btnI # use the I'm feeling lucky button show (Note that using this script abuses Google's Terms of Service. So don't.) This is the ninth public release of twill, version 0.8.4. You can install twill with easy_install, or download this release at http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/twill-0.8.4.tar.gz Documentation is included in the .tar.gz and is also online at http://www.idyll.org/~t/www-tools/twill/ Miscellaneous details: twill is implemented in Python and uses pyparsing and mechanize. In addition to the existing simple command language, twill can easily be extended with Python. twill also provides a fairly simple and well-documented wrapper around mechanize. twill does not understand JavaScript, I'm sorry to say. --- Significant changes with 0.8.4: * improved installation docs and simplified installation; * added link checking, requirements processing, and arguments parsing extension modules. * improved extension module handling; added extension module documentation. * fixed memory leaks. * fixed tidy problem on Windows. * line number of scripts printed on traceback. * fixed file:// URLs. * added option for debugging HTTP-EQUIV REFRESH code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html

After 5 years of Python, I still find it impressive how much vodoo and mojo one can do here :-) True ;) However, I should point out that I never use this stuff in production code. I have found out that for my typical usages metaclasses are too much: a class decorator would be enough and much less fragile. At the present, we do not have class decorators, but we can nearly fake them with a very neat trick: def thisclass(proc, *args, **kw): Example: def register(cls): print 'registered' ... class C: ...thisclass(register) ... registered # basic idea stolen from zope.interface, which credits P.J.

here's the deal... i have a dictionary that defines some collections..

('eight') : [0, 3, 6, 9 ],
('nine') : [0, 3, 7, 11 ],
('ten') : [0, 5, 7, 10 ] }
I every time i call this function i would like like it to return a
collection at random, any collection, so long as it has all but one
element that is the same. So if i grab [0, 4, 7, 9 ] as my first set
my next set could be: [0, 3, 7, 9 ], or [0, 4, 8, 9 ], or [0, 4, 7,
10], or [1, 4, 7, 9 ], since all these sets contain 3 elements in
common with the first, and only one that is new or different... but if
my first run give me: [0, 4, 7, 9 ] i would not get [0, 5, 7, 10 ],
since this is set has 2 elements that are unique. The goal it to move
from set to set to set to set always with a maximum of overlap common
elements.
I wonder, if this is even possible, *and* if it can be done with sets
that have as many as 7, 8, or even 9 elements or if this would be too
slow to even attempt.

[for the record using python 2.3 on a macintosh at the moment]
Here's an example of a possible approach. It uses a naive search algorithm,
but
it should illustrate the general idea:
# Search for a path through the nodes that changes only one member per step
nodes = [[0, 3, 6, 10], [0, 5, 7, 10], [0, 3, 7, 11], [0, 4, 8, 10],
[0, 4, 7, 11], [0, 3, 7, 9], [0, 3, 7, 10], [0, 4, 7, 10], [0, 3, 6, 9],
[0, 4, 7, 9]]
try:
frozenset
except NameError: # 2.3 compatibility, untested
from sets import ImmutableSet as frozenset
def get_graph(nodes):
From a list of sequences, return a graph, mapping each node to its
neighbors - defined as nodes with all but one common element
graph = dict.fromkeys([frozenset(s) for s in nodes])
for s in graph:
neighbor_len = len(s)-1
graph[s] = [t for t in graph if len(st)==neighbor_len]
return graph
def walk_nodes(nodes, walk_length = None):
if walk_length is None:
walk_length = len(nodes)
graph = get_graph(nodes)
def add_move(history):
for path in history:
last_move = path[-1]
# remove the last_move from the graph: we can't go there again
possible_next = graph.pop(last_move)
# look in sequence at the possible neighbors
# this is a naive - a better heuristic would perhaps be to
# visit neighbors with fewer exits first
for next in possible_next:
if next in graph:
# if the node is still in the paths dict, we haven't
# visited it yet, so let's go
yield path + [next]
# Pick a starting point - naive!
history = [graph.keys()[0]],
# set up n nested generators, each representing one move depth
for move in range(walk_length-1):
history = add_move(history)
# yield a generator of all paths through the graph of length walk_length
# by trial and error, you can find the longest path
return history
Apparently, there is no path through all 10 nodes:
list(walk_nodes(nodes))
[]
But there are a couple of 7-node paths:
list(walk_nodes(nodes,7))
[[frozenset([0, 9, 3, 6]), frozenset([0, 9, 3, 7]), frozenset([0, 11, 3, 7]),
frozenset([0, 11, 4, 7]), frozenset([0, 10, 4, 7]), frozenset([0, 10, 3, 7]),
frozenset([0, 10, 3, 6])],
[frozenset([0, 9, 3, 6]), frozenset([0, 9, 3, 7]), frozenset([0, 11, 3, 7]),
frozenset([0, 11, 4, 7]), frozenset([0, 10, 4, 7]), frozenset([0, 10, 3, 7]),
frozenset([0, 10, 5, 7])]]

I hadn't realized the (old, decrepit) script was using something other than 're' (r standing for 'regular', and e for 'expressions' [I'm guessing]). Pylint (with everything switched on) doesn't flag anything as deprecated, or at least I didn't notice that it did. Maybe it was because the method for deprecation hadn't been devised yet? -- I don't know, as I'm not a Python archivist. I don't think I missed line 3, but just interpeted it to apply to the purpose of the script, not the script itself.

Re: Bitwise OR?
Actually, following up to my own reply: 3500 | 67 = 3567. So perhaps that sets your expectations for 3500 | -67. But try -3500 | -67 for fun: it is -3 Bitwise or is no arithmetic and if you want to predict something about the resulting integers, you should know something about how they are stored. Negative integers are stored in 2-complement format: minus 1 is all bits set to 1. Turning bits off makes it a more negative number (as long as you don't touch the sign-bit) and turning more bits on makes it a smaller negative number. Doing bitwise-OR for the positive numbers 3500 and 67 results in 3567: proof that they don't have any overlapping bits. Know it turns out that 3500 and -67 have only overlapping bits: therefore the result is -67. (adding the bits from 3500 to the bits of -67 doesn't turn on any extra bits). Use bit operators to manipulate bits, and think of the operands as sets of bits. Bitwise OR is the union of 2 sets of bits. Don't think of the operands to bit operators as numbers, and don't try to do your sums using bitwise or! :-) --Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't see immediately how exactly this is going to work. Unless I'm
very much mistaken, a FSA in the classical sense will accept or reject

Exponential in respect to what?
With respect to sequence length.
But you cannot get rid of this. Consider S = {a, b}, W = {a}.
Then there are |S|^n result elements for n 1, and you have to enumerate
all of them.
Yes, but then, they are in the target set. The point here is whether
you can generate S^n - W in Theta( n * |S^n - W| ), which may be
dramatically different from Theta( n * |S^n| ).
The best thing one can hope for is to just actually process those
elements that are really in the result set. With the FSM, you're
getting at least close to that.
If the FSA has to consume the whole sequence, you're only impoving
performace by a constant factor.
The automaton is:
S: a - A, b - B
A: a - A
B: b - B
The target set is specified as S^n - W, where W is everything matching
(.*a.*b|.*b.*a). Following the construction procedure in point, this
exclusion set is matched exactly by my DFA with S initial and F final.
Then, swapping final and non-final states makes {S, A, B} final, and F
non-final. Your DFA above may be equivalent, but to me it is far from
clear exactly what algorithm would build it from the given data.
Looking at the minimal DFA for the above example, it may be more
appropriate to detect being in a state from which there's no path to a
final state:
This cannot happen, because minimizing removes all those states.
(Or, in case you have a different definition of automaton in mind:
There'll be just one stuck state, where all transitions that never
go to a final state end up. Remove this state, and you'll end up
with the other definition).
I have to admit that I've never considered this before, but as I'm
thinking of it now, a block of such states will never split by
minimization, so they're bound to end up together as a single state,
which can then be eliminated. I can see your point now.
I guess one could even optimize on that: In the minimal automaton,
every state has some transition sequence that will end up in a final
state. Annotate each state with the minimum number of steps for
such a sequence. While walking the automaton, keep the maximum
number of letters to produce in a variable. If this number is small
then the number in the annotation, stop and backtrace.
I don't think this could cut efficiently for patterns like *a*b.
The point is not to cut efficiently, the point is to enumerate
only those words that are actually in the result set.
No, this is not the point. Naive filtering already does that. By
cutting efficiently I mean skipping over search sub-trees that don't
contain any results from the target set. If you can do this, you can
enumerate the target set in time proportional to its size, not to the
size of the search space, which is the point.

Now you just have to parse the senders data. There are many examples
about sending emails with python, like this one:
def send_notice():
import smtplib
msg = 'we got your mail, indeed'
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
mail = MIMEText(msg, 'plain', 'utf-8')
mail['From'] =fro='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
mail['Subject'] = Spam machine
mail['To'] = to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
errors = server.sendmail(fro, to, mail.as_string())
server.quit()
That other program should be very simple to make now.

since this is set has 2 elements that are unique. The goal it to move

elements.

Suggestion for Web App
I want to make a recommendation to a group of internal customers where I work concerning a Python web framework. They are seeking to build a portal that can handle around 5000 total users but probably no more than 100-200 simultaneous users. This is supposed to serve mainly static content - the content will hold references, tutorials and examples for different technologies, a forum (similar probably to phpbb) and podcasts (rss and mp3 files). Also I believe it will definitely need a decent DB server for this. They have some other suggestions ranging from Websphere/JSP's to PHP. I personally don't think the PHP will scale well for growth and I also think that using Java/JSPs will be too slow for this sort of thing. I normally work as system and application admin and use Python in a number of ways to get the job done. Naturally, I am naturally inclined to suggest something that uses Python or something Pythonic. I wanted to suggest Zope but there are also other ones I'm thinking of as well like CherryPy and Karrigell. Which one of these (or other ones you guys know of) would do the best job in this situation? Also do you guys know if MySQL would work with this or should they use something more robust like DB2 (IBM shop)? Any suggestions are welcome.

Dinko Tenev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Dirk Thierbach wrote:
[One cannot escape exponential behaviour]
But you cannot get rid of this. Consider S = {a, b}, W = {a}.
Then there are |S|^n result elements for n 1, and you have to enumerate
all of them.
Yes, but then, they are in the target set.
Which is the point. If they are in the target set, you have to enumerate
them. If the target set is of exponential size with respect to n,
then you'll need exponential time to do that.
The point here is whether
you can generate S^n - W in Theta( n * |S^n - W| ), which may be
dramatically different from Theta( n * |S^n| ).
Exactly. Hence, you use a construction that guarantees that the time
needed is proportional to n*|S^n - W|: Every step you do will be
enecessary to produce at least one word in the output set. Now, if
|S^n - W| is still exponential, then you'll still need exponential
time. But nevertheless, that's the best you can hope for.
The automaton is:
S: a - A, b - B
A: a - A
B: b - B
The target set is specified as S^n - W, where W is everything matching
(.*a.*b|.*b.*a). Following the construction procedure in point, this
exclusion set is matched exactly by my DFA with S initial and F final.
Then, swapping final and non-final states makes {S, A, B} final, and F
non-final. Your DFA above may be equivalent, but to me it is far from
clear exactly what algorithm would build it from the given data.
Well, it's just the result from the minimazation algorithm, where my
variant of the algorithm just prunes away the stuck state which can
never produce any output.
The point is not to cut efficiently, the point is to enumerate
only those words that are actually in the result set.
No, this is not the point. Naive filtering already does that.
No, it doesn't. Naive filtering always will look at the complete
input set, so, no matter what size |S^n - W| actually is, it will
always take time in proportion to |S^n|.
By cutting efficiently I mean skipping over search sub-trees that
don't contain any results from the target set.
Yes. Consider a different example: With the wildcard expressions
W = { b*, aa*, ab* }, you'll get S^* - W = { a }. The resulting
minimum FSM will just accept 'a' (start state, one final state, and
the stuck state if you insist on it), so you skip over every
other subtree when enumerating results from that automaton.
And for the previous example, you'll need something like 2*n time
to enumerate the output set instead of 2^n, because once you're in
the a-branch, you're producing only a's, and you're pruning
away all the subtrees that start with a b. Similarly in the
b-branch.
Now clearer?

Re: Caching in memory for Apache
Simon Johnson wrote: I have decided to take the big plunge and drop the Microsoft platform and use Mod_Python and Apache in it's place. Congratulations! ;-) [...] One of the questions I have is: How do you cache stuff in memory? Say I've got a bunch of stuff I need to create from a set of database rows. Obviously, I do not want to consult the database each time I have a request for my page. Is there anyway in Mod_python for me to store values inside memory so I can look it up on the next GET request? I suppose that you probably need to use sessions in your application in order to achieve what you're aiming for. If you're not familiar with the concept of a session in the context of Web applications, sessions are just things which associate a particular user or client with persistent information stored on the server: when sending responses (ie. Web pages) to users/clients, you include a token which those users/clients then submit back to you with each request; you use these tokens to look up any information that you've stored for quick retrieval; the method of transmitting tokens is most often a cookie which is automatically sent back by browsers unless configured otherwise. I know that mod_python does support sessions, including in-memory sessions, as do a number of different frameworks. It should be fairly convenient to take database rows and store them in a session, and in most cases the framework (eg. mod_python) will manage the low-level details (such as the sending of cookies, and so on). Sometimes, there are restrictions on what the persistent information in sessions can actually look like: some implementations use things like pickle, and you can run into unpickleable objects; some implementations recommend that you only store things like strings or text. Whether sessions are ultimately the right answer rests upon a number of technical considerations, and some people have stated that they believe them to be generally inappropriate. However, they're probably the most immediately appropriate thing for you to use in this case. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Also, feel free to suggest other toolkits with respect to the above. thx wildemar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list The native text controls in wxPython don't support zooming (although wx.stc does - you could use that). Aside from that, all the available tools I'm aware of for this sort of thing are raster-based, so you'll lose a lot of performance and/or image quality. If you decide to write an SVG renderer for wx based on your needs, let me know - it's something thats been on my todo eventually list for ages. However, I suspect that what you need is more likely to exist already in the other toolkits you mentioned. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: What's The Best Editor for python
Food for thought... I admit it would be best if you could use the same editor for both *nix and Windows -- in that case, I'd say Scite would be best as it is almost identical in both environments. However, my own personal favorites are: Crimson Editor for Windows and Kate for Linux. Yes, I know... strange choices (especially Kate) but they both do what I need them to do. :-) Harlin Seritt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Suggestion for Web App
Why not just use static HTML for the static content ? Makes sense... now, what about for having the portal capabilities (users log in, save profiles, etc)... what would be best for that? I really don't think though that a CMS is necessary. Does anyone know of a Python forum package similar to phpBB? thanks, Harlin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: What's The Best Editor for python
I agree, Kate is a great linux editor! On windows, I'd have to say notepad2- kate for windows -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Help: Creating condensed expressions
Here's the problem: Given a list of item names like: apple1 apple2 apple3_SD formA formB formC kla_MM kla_MB kca_MM which is a subset of a much larger list of items, is there an efficient algorithm to create condensed forms that match those items, and only those items? Such as: apple[12] apple3_SD form[ABC] kla_M[MB] kca_MM The condensed expression syntax only has [...] and * as operators. [...] matches a set of individual characters, * matches any string. I'd be satisfied with a solution that only uses the [...] syntax, since I don't think it's possible to use * without potentially matching items not explicitly in the given list. I'm not sure what this condensed expression syntax is called (looks a bit like shell name expansion syntax), and I'm not even sure there is an efficient way to do what I'm asking. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, -David -- Presenting: mediocre nebula. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: What's The Best Editor for python
Been using PyDev plugin for Eclipse for a week now... works pretty good, and integrates well with PyLint. Has some context-sensitive help, but not much. I wonder if writing a script to convert Python HTML docs to Javadoc format would help? H maybe I'll ask. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: What's The Best Editor for python
Was actually going to throw in jEdit for the category of what's good on both platforms... For someone who despises Java, I actually like it. :-) Harlin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Icelandic capital eth becomes D, OK; but the small letter becomes o!!!
I see information flow from Iceland is a bit better than from Armenia :-)
No information flow needed. Capital letter BLAH - D and small letter
BLAH - o should trigger one's palpable nonsense detector for *any* BLAH.
Some of the transformations are a little unfortunate :-(
The OP, as you pointed out in your first post in this thread, has more
pressing problems with his normalization approach.
Lastly, even if all went well, turning a list of French addresses into an
ascii-uppercase graveyard would be a sad thing to do...
Oh indeed. Not only sad, but incredibly stupid. I fervently hope and
trust that such a normalisation is intended only for fuzzy matching
purposes. I can't imagine that anyone would contemplate writing the
output to storage for any reason other than logging or for regression
testing. Update it back to the database? Do you know anyone who would do
that??

Re: Multiplying sequences with floats
Christoph Zwerschke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyway this would be an argument only against the variant of typecasting a float with a fractional part. But what about the other variant which raises an error if there is a fractional part, but works if the float is actually an exact integer, like the result of 4.0//2. I think that's a really bad idea, because of the possibility that the result might happen to be an exact integer on one implementation but not another. In such situations, the fact that it might fail on implementation X may well be impossible to detect by any amount of testing on implementation Y. Such untestable errors are such a nuisance that it would better for the language to encourage programmers to give them a wide berth. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: New development windows, IronPython or PythonWin
Dan a écrit : IronPython is currently nowhere near production quality. I would not recommend it. I realise its in beta. But long term, do you think that the win32com, win32gui etc... will have no support because everyone jumps on the Microsoft bandwagon? Aren't the windows support extensions supported primarily by one guy, Mark Hammond? As a developer, this seams to leave me with a vulnerability long term. Thanks for the advise. Well, from what we've seen so far, I'd rather rely on open source software than on proprietary one. An oss project lives as long as someone is willing to maintain it, and anyone can pick it up. And I wouldn't count on every one jumping on MS wagon neither. Just my cents... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
