Re: name capitalization of built-in types, True, and False

Re: logging module and threading
On May 12, 1:53 am, Ross Boylan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm also puzzled by how the logger hierarchy works. The docs say that everything that is logged by the kids is also logged by the parent. That would seem to defeat what I'm trying to do above, since the parent would get each logged event right away. However,logging.getLogger(a).error(test) produces only a single log message indicating an associated object of a. The docs lead me to expect that I'd see one message from a and another from root. When I add handlers (e.g., FileHandlers) I do get the message recorded by each. Can anyone explain what's going on? The Logger hierarchy works, in a nutshell, as follows: events passed to a logger propagate up the hierarchy until either the root, or a logger whose propagate attribute is set to a false value, is reached. At each step (i.e. logger) in the propagation, any handlers attached to that logger are offered the chance to handle the message - which means different things depending on the handler. If you add e.g. a FileHandler to the root logger and another to a logger named a.b.c and then log something to a.b.c, then two handlers will each handle the message, leading to multiple output of the same event. You also don't need to buffer up messages in different threads - if your messages contain both the log event time and the thread id (which can be achieved by having %(asctime)s or %(relativeCreated)d and % (thread)d or %(threadName)s in your format string), then you can simply sort the output to group your messages together. (And since threads sometimes interact, it's often useful to see the raw output in time order.) If you do want to buffer events, MemoryHandler will do the trick. And it takes a target handler rather than logger, because it's acting as a buffer for another handler, for events which have already been entered into the system. If you're new to logging, you need to separate the ideas behind loggers and handlers in the scheme of things. Loggers are things which application developers use to register events of interest in their application, with an indication of importance (level) and an ability to filter on that. Handlers are things used by developers or admins to send information about the events to different audiences - e.g. critical errors might be emailed to someone while less critical errors are sent to console or log files.

Re: Python Binding
You are completely right wihtin this. It's some time i didn't reply, but i've taken a look on pyrex and swig now which did cost me some time, and they really make it easier. SWIG provides more possibilities and bindings for other languages too, though - i must say i've been faster with pyrex, for some reason it fits me better.

Performance-wise, the best thing would be to do safe_dict = dict because the builtin dict is already thread-safe unless user-defined __hash__ or __eq__ methods get invoked (in which case the dictionary still works correctly - it's only that it may get modified while __hash__ or __eq__ is running).

Finally started on python..
Hi, Having known about python since around the turn of the century , I finally found a (actually two) reason to learn it. Python seems to have moved on a little since the 1.5.2 release covered in the reference book (Essential Python) I bought way back when so I could learn it when the time came but it seems to be mainly backward compatible - is there anything that likely to catch me out - I use linux, so heavy use of an upto date pydoc has filled the gaps so far. I do however have a couple of questions:- 1) A nice simple language query : I found myself using this sort of code a bit in one of my recent scripts class Something: def Entries(self): sort=self._data.keys() sort.sort() for i in sort: yield i IS this preferable to just returning the sort array from the function or not? Which is more runtime efficent. Does it change if the last line was yield self._data[i] instead as that would require a map() in the function ? 2) I've ended up coding a new wrapper for reading in data structures from XML files (it wraps xml.sax) so that ctor are call on each end tag with the XML Objects contents. Does the python communitity have something like Perl's CPAN and is there already something there taht does this or would it be something that I could give back?

Dear all I am writing a program with tkinter where I have to create a lot of checkbuttons. They should have the same format but should have different names. My intention is to run the functions and the create all the buttons with the names from the list. I now the lines below doesn't work, but this is what I have so far. I don't really know how call the element in the dict use in the for loop.

You can simply bind the methods you want to add to the Button instance.

...
def add_methods(obj, cls):
... for name, value in cls.__dict__.items():
... if callable(value) and hasattr(value, '__get__'):

...
b = Button()
b.set_label('k')
setting label: k

How to cleanly pause/stop a long running function?
Suppose I have a function that may run for a long time - perhaps from several minutes to several hours. An example would be this file processing function: import os def processFiles(startDir): for root, dirs, files in os.walk(startDir): for fname in files: if fname.lower().endswith(.zip): # ... do interesting stuff with the file here ... Imagine that there are thousands of files to process. This could take a while. How can I implement this so that the caller can pause or interrupt this function, and resume its program flow? Doing a Ctrl+C interrupt would be a not-so-clean-way of performing such a thing, and it would quit the application altogether. I'd rather have the function return a status object of what it has accomplished thus far. I have heard about threads, queues, and asynchronous programming, but am not sure which is appropriate for this and how to apply it. Perhaps the above function should be a method of a class that inherits from the appropriate handler class?

If I just wanted to get this done, I would hunt down the ODBC driver and use some MSy thing. But I am trying to hone my Python skills, but right now I am in over my head, thus this post. I think with a little boost I will be able to make it all come together. (well, little boost may be an understatement - I have no clue how close/far I am from what I need.) My searching around has come up with a few ways to use Python to read the data: 1. pull what I need from some other py code that uses c-tree: http://oltp-platform.cvs.sourceforge.net/oltp-platform/OLTPP/services/PythonScript/PythonTranslate.h?view=markup http://oltp-platform.cvs.sourceforge.net/oltp-platform/OLTPP/scripts/TestZipCodes.py?view=markup 12 a,b,c = ZipCode.Get() 13 print Zip code is , a 14 print State is , b 15 print City is , c I am sure this is what I want. I just haven't figured out where to start. 2. Pyrex to create Python bindings to C API with minimal C knowledge. I took C and did a few little utilities on my own in the 90's. plus I can make a tarball. today I am not sure I even qualify for minimal. 3. the C API is present as a shared object (.so), use it from Python with ctypes. I have no idea what that means. 4. odbc - I am actually not thrilled about using the ctree odbc driver in any environment, because someone else who tried to use it on some other data a few years ago said it was flaky, and support was next to useless. 5, get someone who knows perl to do it using http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Db-Ctree/Db/Ctree.html - This just shows what lengths I am willing to go to. but I really don't want to start learning perl.

Re: Basic question
Cesar G. Miguel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I've been studying python for 2 weeks now and got stucked in the
following problem:
for j in range(10):
print j
if(True):
j=j+2
print 'interno',j
What happens is that j=j+2 inside IF does not change the loop
counter (j) as it would in C or Java, for example.
Granted this question has already been answered in parts, but I just
wanted to elaborate.
Although the python for/in loop is superficially similar to C and Java
for loops, they work in very different ways. Range creates a list
object that can create an iterator, and the for/in construct under the
hood sets j to the results of iterator.next(). The equivalent
completely untested java would be something like:
public ArrayListObject range(int n){
a = new ArrayListObject; //Java 1.5 addition I think.
for(int x=0,xn,x++){
a.add(new Integer(x));
}
return a;
}
Iterator i = range(10).iterator();
Integer j;
while i.hasNext(){
j = i.next();
system.out.println(j.toString());
j = j + 2;
system.out.println(interno + j.toString());
}
This probably has a bunch of bugs. I'm learning just enough java
these days to go with my jython.
1: Python range() returns a list object that can be expanded or
modified to contain arbitrary objects. In java 1.5 this would be one
of the List Collection objects with a checked type of
java.lang.Object. So the following is legal for a python list, but
would not be legal for a simple C++ or Java array.
newlist = range(10)
newlist[5] = foo
newlist[8] = open(filename,'r')
2: The for/in loop takes advantage of the object-oriented nature of
list objects to create an iterator for the list, and then calls
iterator.next() until the iterator runs out of objects. You can do
this in python as well:
i = iter(range(10))
while True:
try:
j = i.next()
print j
j = j + 2
print j
except StopIteration:
break
Python lists are not primitive arrays, so there is no need to
explicitly step through the array index by index. You can also use an
iterator on potentially infinite lists, streams, and generators.
Another advantage to for/in construction is that loop counters are
kept nicely separate from the temporary variable, making it more
difficult to accidentally short-circuit the loop. If you want a loop
with the potential for a short-circuit, you should probably use a
while loop:
j = 0
while j 10:
if j == 5:
j = j + 2
else:
j = j + 1
print j

What is ANSI/cp1252???
# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
compo={}
compo['pxrtf']= {
'fichier': pxrtf.py,
'description': Génération de fichiers RTF
}
file bbb.py (write in ANSI/cp1252):
# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
import aaa
With run bbb.py, I see:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File D:\dev\python\bbb.py, line 3, in module
import aaa
File D:\dev\python\aaa.py, line 3
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
(run directly aaa.py give no problem)
(Python 2.5.1 + win_XP-SP2_french)
BUT, if I write the file aaa.py in UTF-8, with 1st line:# -*- coding:
utf-8 -*-
the problem is removed (file bbb.py stay in ANSI/cp1252)
Bug? or am I wrong?
@-salutations
Michel, I can't reproduce this -- Python 2.5.1, Windows XP Pro SP2
Given that the syntax error seems to be pointing to a blank empty
line, I suspect that's there's some invisible character in the file.
This would be likely not to show up when we view your file through a
web browser or news client. I suggest that you show us *exactly* what
you've got:
print open('aaa.py', 'rb').read()

Nice!
As somebody else alredy pointed out, the lambda is supererogatory (to
say the least).
The following also works using split and list comprehension (as
suggested in a brazilian python forum):
---
L = []
file = ['5,1378,1,9', '2,1,4,5']
str=''
for item in file:
L.append([float(n) for n in item.split(',')])
The assignment to str is useless (in fact potentially damaging because
you're hiding a built-in name).
L = [float(n) for item in file for n in item.split(',')]
is what I'd call Pythonic, personally (yes, the two for clauses need to
be in this order, that of their nesting).

zero advantages compared with several saner alternatives that have

__dict__ for instances?
While using PyGTK, I want to try and define signal handlers
automagically, without explicitly writing the long dictionary (i.e. I
want to use signal_autoconnect()).
To do this, I need something that will inspect the current self and
return a dictionary that looks like:
{
method_name : self.method_name
}
Class.__dict__ does something very similar, but when I use it, either
I'm doing something wrong or it doesn't return methods bound to self,
and python complains a wrong number of arguments is being passed to the
methods (one instead of two).
instance.__dict__ on the other hand returns an empty dictionary.

About PyYAML
YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and
interaction with scripting languages. PyYAML is a YAML parser and
emitter for Python.
PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle
support, capable extension API, and sensible error messages. PyYAML
supports standard YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow
to represent an arbitrary Python object.
PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex
configuration files to object serialization and persistance.

I think you want dir(instance) __dict__ returns the instance
variables and values as a dictionary, but doesn't return methods.
dir() returns a list of the instance's methods and variables. Then
you'd need to iterate over the list with type() looking for instance
methods
instance = Class.Class()
dict = {}
methods = [f for f in dir(instance) if str(type(instance.f)) == type
'instancemethod']
for m in methods:
dict[m.name] = m
The above is untested. I'm sure there is a better way to do this.

Please explain what you mean. quote Sec 2.2.3: Objects of different types, except different numeric types and different string types, never compare equal; /quote I should point out that only applies to built-in types, not custom classes. That doesn't explain what you mean. How does if arg==True test whether a list is a boolean? type(sys.argv) type 'list' type(True) type 'bool' That still doesn't make sense. However, using my incredible psychic ability to read between the lines, I think what Mensanator is trying (but failing) to say is that if arg==True first tests whether arg is of type bool, and if it is not, it knows they can't be equal. That's not actually correct. We can check this: import dis def test(arg): ... � � return arg == True ... dis.dis(test) � 2 � � � � � 0 LOAD_FAST � � � � � � � �0 (arg) � � � � � � � 3 LOAD_GLOBAL � � � � � � �0 (True) � � � � � � � 6 COMPARE_OP � � � � � � � 2 (==) � � � � � � � 9 RETURN_VALUE As you can see, there is no explicit type test. (There may or may not be an _implicit_ type test, buried deep in the Python implementation of the COMPARE_OP operation, but that is neither here nor there.) Also, since bool is a subclass of int, we can do this: 1.0+0j == �True True Actually, it's this statement that's non-sensical. quote if arg==True tests whether the object known as arg is equal to the object known as True. /quote Not at all, it makes perfect sense. X == Y always tests whether the argument X is equal to the object Y regardless of what X and Y are. Except for the exceptions, that's why the statement is wrong. None of these four examples are equal to any other. That's actually wrong, as you show further down. No, it's not, as I show further down. a = 1 b = (1,) c = [1] d = gmpy.mpz(1) type(a) type 'int' type(b) type 'tuple' type(c) type 'list' type(d) type 'mpz' a==b False b==c False a==d True See, a and d are equal. No, they are not equal. Ints and mpzs should NEVER be used together in loops, even though it's legal. The ints ALWAYS have to be coerced to mpzs to perform arithmetic and this takes time...LOTS of it. The absolute stupidest thing you can do (assuming n is an mpz) is: while n 1: if n % 2 == 0: n = n/2 else: n = 3*n + 1 You should ALWAYS do: ZED = gmpy.mpz(0) ONE = gmpy.mpz(1) TWO = gmpy.mpz(2) TWE = gmpy.mpz(3) while n ONE: if n % TWO == ZED: n = n/TWO else: n = TWE*n + ONE This way, no coercion is performed. And yet a==d returns True. So why doesn't b==c also return True, they both have a 1 at index position 0? Why should they return true just because the contents are the same? Why should the int 1 return True when compared to mpz(1)? a = [1] b = [1] returns True for a==b? After all, it returns false if b is [2], so it looks at the content in this case. So for numerics, it's the value that matters, not the type. And this creates a false sense of equality when a==d returns True. A bag of shoes is not the same as a box of shoes, even if they are the same shoes. Exactly. For the very reason I show above. The fact that the int has the same shoes as the mpz doesn't mean the int should be used, it has to be coerced. Since both lists and tuples are containers, neither are strings or numeric types, so the earlier rule applies: they are different types, so they can't be equal. But you can't trust a==d returning True to mean a and d are equal. To say the comparison means the two objects are equal is misleading, in other words, wrong. It only takes one turd to spoil the whole punchbowl. gmpy.mpz(1) on the other hand, is both a numeric type and a custom class. It is free to define equal any way that makes sense, and it treats itself as a numeric type and therefore says that it is equal to 1, just like 1.0 and 1+0j are equal to 1. They are equal in the mathematical sense, but not otherwise. And to think that makes no difference is to be naive. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm still able to reproduce this bug with Python 2.5.1. The following
script always gives the same size:
import curses
while True:
scr = curses.initscr()
print curses.LINES, curses.COLS
scr.getch()
scr.getch()
curses.endwin()

I've reviewed this patch and I believe it to be the correct patch. I
believe it would be prudent to add a test case for this. I'm unable to
attach, but here is a link to a patch for that:

Summary: yield+break stops tracing
Initial Comment:
Here is an example script:
def myiter():
for i in range(10):
yield i
for i in myiter():
break
print foo
Now, if I try to trace it:
$ python -m trace --trace --count test.py
--- modulename: threading, funcname: settrace
threading.py(70): _trace_hook = func
--- modulename: test, funcname: module
test.py(1): def myiter():
test.py(5): for i in myiter():
--- modulename: test, funcname: myiter
test.py(2): for i in range(10):
test.py(3): yield i
test.py(6): break
c:\python25\lib\ntpath.py:190: RuntimeWarning:
tp_compare didn't return -1 or -2 for exception
if i=max(p.rfind('/'), p.rfind('\\')):
foo
It stops tracing after the `break` statement. The line
after, `print foo`, is not traced nor included in the
coverage output.
I'm not sure RuntimeWarning from ntpath.py is relevant
here, because if I use the trace module in some other
situation it doesn't print it. IMO, it's just a side
effect of some different problem.
