Overriding Thread.join in derived class.

2007-08-18 Thread Graham Dumpleton
If one creates a thread using threading.Thread and makes it a daemon
by calling setDaemon(), then when Python is exiting it will not
attempt to call join() on that thread and wait for it to complete
first.

The problem with this is that the daemonised thread will continue to
run while atexit register callbacks are being called and while Python
is being subsequently destroyed

The result is that the daemonised thread may access application
components that have been cleaned up and in the worst case as Python
progresses with destroying interpreters it could try accessing things
like sys.modules which may no longer exist.

End result is that it could result in a Python exception at some
point, evidenced by messages starting with:

Exception in thread Thread-1 (most likely raised during interpreter
shutdown)

or:

Unhandled exception in thread started by bound method
Thread.__bootstrap of Thread(Thread-1, started daemon)

In order to avoid this, do people think that as an alternative to
creating daemonised thread that it would be reasonable to create a
derived Thread class for the particular task which overrides
Thread.join() method to set some flag or otherwise take some action
that the thread would notice to tell it to stop, and then call base
class Thread.join().

This way you can flag the thread to shutdown automatically when Python
is going around calling join() on non daemonised threads.

Or am I missing the obvious as far as ways of flagging threads to tell
them to stop?

Note that this is where Python is being used embedded in a C program.
There is no Python main function where code can be put to signal
threads to otherwise stop.

Canceling events on COM objects

 Unless you have an interoperability requirement or some other specific
 issue, you should stick with AES and the SHA2 family.  Don't make your
 own cipher selections unless you know completely what you're doing.
 This is especially the case for business applications in the US, since
 AES and SHA are US federal standards and if you use them and something
 goes wrong with them, you can at least say you followed the standard.
 If you use anything else, you will have more to answer for.

Well, I only know that I choose the best public cryptographic
algorithms.

SHA-2 has been designed by the National Security Agency (NSA), and I'm
sure that many people trust on the NSA so that every people make its
election.
But I'm sure that many people will avoid use algorithms recommend by
the governement. And I don't know why :P, they always say the truth
and we must trust on them. I'm sure that having great experts on
cryptography they are not bee able of put a backdoor indetectable or
better to debilitate the algorithm so that it is easier to break it.

Hi Andrew,

I'd do It with urllib2 module (to download the file) and tarfile

That sounds like a solution. I think the core of the question is as
follows; if I was to call the dict() function for each line, thus
creating a dictionary, and then rename it to dict['name'], will there
be a namespace collision on the next loop when dict() is called again?
Obviously the first dictionary will still be there, as it still has a
refcount of 1; but if it gets overwritten, will the object that the

passing arguments with ampersands

2007-08-18 Thread SHY
 hey,

i have a win32 gui application that accepts filenames as arguments (either
via command line or via associating an extension to the application) which
are then opened in it. the problem is that as soon as the filename contains
characters like '', the process fails at the very beginning (sys.argv).

for example when the full path of the file im trying to open like this is

Quote:D:\ftp\Music\Mixes  Compilations\Above  Beyond - Essential
Mix\001_Essential_Mix_2004-06-06_-_Above_and_Beyond.txt


when i put 'print sys.argv[1:]' at the very beginning of the script, all i
get is this:

Quote:['D:\\ftp\\Music\\Mixes']



i already have a piece of code that puts together paths with spaces sent via
arguments, but this '' drives me crazy.

other than that, after i close the application (which actually starts
without any errors), the commands line gets filled with a message like this:


Quote:The system cannot find the path specified.
'Beyond' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.



any idea how to solve this? [image: Sad]

if data2name might give colliding names then you could use tuples as
dictionary keys as shown below:

  import modulename
  datadict = dict( ((data2name(d), count), d)
for count,d in enumerate(modulename.data) )

Generally, if you try and create two keys with the same name in a

Re: passing arguments with ampersands

2007-08-18 Thread SHY
theres no special portion of code, just the one that handles filenames with
spaces.
the problem is that when i associate a file extension to my application and
i open it, the filename is not quoted before passed as an arguement. i dont
know if its the problem of windows or something, or it was just my fault
when i incorrectly associated the extension.
anyway, this is the code that outputs the second quote i posted in the
original message:

args = None
 if len(sys.argv)  1:
 args = sys.argv[1:]

print args


and this is the code that handles the filenames with spaces (as space
generally delimits cmdline params). its not very ellegant, needs a bit of
tuning, but it works (i dont use any kind of -d --something params yet).

[code]
newargs = []
if args:
first = None
for arg in args:
if not first:
first = arg
continue

if os.path.isfile(first):
newargs.append(first)
first = None
continue

if arg.find(:) == -1:
first =  .join([first, arg])

if first:
newargs.append(first)
[/code]

how can i make the params get quoted before send as arguments?

You need to post some more code, preferably the function that calls

 You need to post some more code, preferably the function that calls
 the directx stuff. And how do you catch the close event? It sounds
 like you've got multiple objects bound to it which causes the entire
 program to close. You might consider running the directx stuff in a
 separate thread.

 There is an excellent section (266 pages) on TKinter in Programming
 Python by Mark Lutz. I've got the 2nd edition.
 
 Lutz concentrates on TK programming using classes, making re-usable

 can you tell me problem with my script and what should is do for this

For a start, you are iterating k in data  *everytime* you iterate a
line in fh  which will give you a speed issue and give you duplicates
in the result.  The following is probably what you intended to do

 for line in fh.readlines():
 do stuff
 for k in data:
 do stuff

.split()  splits by spaces, newlines AND tabs so you just need

 splitted = line.split()

eg

 ln = 'fhl1\tfkh2\r\n'
 ln.split()
['fhl1', 'fkh2']

I think I would have done something like this (not tested)

Input = open('sheet1').read().split()
data = set(Input[::2])
data1 = set (Input[1::2])
result = data.intersection(data1)

or even this (if you don't need data and data1 later in the code)

Input = open('sheet1').read().split()
result = set(Input[::2]).intersection(set (Input[1::2]))

 Are there an 'intersection' and 'union' built-ins anywhere?

For intersection and union of a sequence of sets, I'd use:

def union_all(sos):
result = set()
for s in sos: result.update(s)
return result

def intersect_all(sos):
it = iter(sos)
result = set(it.next())
for s in it: result.intersection_update(s)
return result

The latter will raise an exception if sos is empty -- I don't think the
intersection of no sets at all has a single natural interpretation
(while the union of no sets at all appears to be naturally interpreted
as an empty set)... if you disagree, just wrap a try/except around the
initialization of result, and return whatever in the except clause.

Of course, hoisting the unbound method out of the loops can afford the
usual small optimization.  But my point is that, in Python, these
operations (like, say, the concatenation of a sequence of lists, etc)
are best performed in place via loops calling mutator methods such as
update and intersection_update (or a list's extend, etc), rather than
functionally (building and tossing away many intermediate results).
E.g., consider:

brain:~ alex$ python -mtimeit -s'sos=[set(range(x,x+4)) for x in
range(0, 100, 3)]' 'r=set()' 'for x in sos: r.update(x)'
10 loops, best of 3: 18.8 usec per loop

brain:~ alex$ python -mtimeit -s'sos=[set(range(x,x+4)) for x in
range(0, 100, 3)]' 'r=reduce(set.union, sos, set())'
1 loops, best of 3: 87.2 usec per loop

Even in a case as tiny as this one, reduce is taking over 4 times
longer than the loop with the in-place mutator -- and it only gets
worse, as we're talking about O(N squared) vs O(N) performance!  Indeed,
this is part of what makes reduce an attractive nuisance...;-).  [[And
so is sum, if used OTHERWISE than for the documented purpose, computing
the sum of a sequence of numbers: a loop with r.extend is similarly
faster, to concatenate a sequence of lists, when compared to sum(sol,
[])...!!!]]

Re: Canceling events on COM Objects in python

Thank you for the suggestion.  I will ask over there also.  The event is

MakeActiveXClass allows me to pass the object that will receive events.

sort dictionary by specific values

I want to sort the entire dictionary based on the last values in each line.
First for [-1][0] and then[-1][0].

So sorted descending I would like the output to look like:
 Code: ( text )

I can't make any sense of your requirements or your example, but perhaps
I can help somewhat.

You CANNOT sort a (standard Python) dictionary.   You CAN find some
alternative implements of dictionaries on the web that allow ordering,
and you CAN extract the key,value pairs from a dictionary into a list,
and sort that list (by any criteria you want).

Each line means each value in the dictionary?

Did you mean ordering [-1][0] and then [-1][1]?

Dictionaries cannot be ordered, but you can work with its items (as a list).

Your data is not homogeneous (values in the dictionary are both tuples 
and list of tuples). If you can build it that way:

d = {8: [(99, 99)], 9: [(55, 67), (77, 66), (67, 88)], 4: [(45, 78),
(56, 78), (99, 78)], 5: [(67, 77)]

It would be easy to sort:

import operator
cmplast = lambda x, y: cmp(x[-1], y[-1])
sorted(d.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1), cmp=cmplast, reverse=True)

or

cmplast1 = lambda x, y: cmp(x[1][-1], y[1][-1])
sorted(d.items(), cmp=cmplast1, reverse=True)

[(8, [(99, 99)]), (4, [(45, 78), (56, 78), (99, 78)]), (9, [(55, 67), 
(77, 66), (67, 88)]), (5, [(67, 77)])]

[Announce] PyGooCanvas 0.9.0

2007-08-18 Thread Gian Mario Tagliaretti
I am pleased to announce version 0.9.0 of the Python bindings for
Goocanvas.

It is available at:

https://developer.berlios.de/projects/pygoocanvas/

The bindings are updated with the new Goocanvas API

PyGooCanvas 0.9.0   (Aug 18 2007)
=

 o Wrap goo_canvas_item_get_bounds (Gian Mario)
 o fix compilation on Solaris, patch by
  JerryYu [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Fixes LP#130106 (Gian Mario)
 o Add goocanvas.ItemSimple.get_line_width (Gian Mario)
 o Docs updated fixes LP#124921 (Gian Mario)

Blurb:
==

Goocanvas [1] is a canvas widget for GTK+, It is similar in many ways
to  FooCanvas, hence the name, but it uses cairo for rendering, it has
an optional  model/view split, and uses interfaces for items  views
(so you can easily turn any application object into a canvas item or
view).

PyGooCanvas is a wrapper which exposes the goocanvas API to the
python world.  It is fairly complete; most of the API are covered.

The documentation is done, anyway bug reports on docs are really
important to improve the documentation.

Like the GTK+ library, PyGTK and GooCanvas itself PyGooCanvas is
licensed under  the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both
free software and proprietary applications.

PyGooCanvas requires:
=

 o Goocanvas = 0.9.0
 o PyGObject = 2.10.1 (2.11.3 to build the docs)
 o PyGTK = 2.10.4
 o PyCairo = 1.2.0

Bug reports should go to

Hey dude, why don't you just bite the bullet and implement your own

PEP 11 update - Call for port maintainers to step forward

2007-08-18 Thread skip
I made a quick update to PEP 11, Removing support for little used
platforms.  I added details about ending support for AtheOS/Syllable and
BeOS.

I also added a yet-to-be-fleshed out section entitled Platform
Maintainers.  I intend that to the extent possible we document the
responsible parties for various platforms.  Obviously, common platforms like
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and common Unix platforms (Solaris, *BSD, what
else?)  will continue to be supported by the core Python developer
community, but lesser platforms should have one or more champions, and we
should be able to get ahold of them to determine their continued interest in
supporting Python on their platform(s).  If you are the owner of a minor
platform, please drop me a note.  Ones I'm aware of that probably need
specialized support outside the core Python developers include:

IRIX
Tru64 (aka OSF/1 and other names (what else?))
OS2/EMX (Andrew MacIntyre?)
Cygwin
MinGW
HP-UX
AIX
Solaris  version 8
SCO
Unixware

IRIX and Tru64 are likely to go the way of the dodo if someone doesn't step
up soon to offer support.  I don't expect the others to disappear soon, but
they tend to need more specialized support, especially in more challenging
areas (shared library support, threading, etc).

If you maintain the platform-specific aspects for any of these platforms,
please let me know.  If you aren't that person but know who is, please pass
this note along to them.  If I've missed any other platforms (I know I must
have have missed something), let me know that as well.

How to call module functions inside class instance functions?

Hi Everyone,

I have encountered a small problems.  How to call module functions
inside class instance functions? For example,  calling func1 in func2
resulted in a compiling error.

my module here

def func1():
 print hello

class MyClass:

 #how can I call func1 here.
 func1() #results in an error

How to make a module function visible only inside the module?

2007-08-18 Thread beginner
Hi Everyone,

Is there any equivalent version of C's static function in Python. I
know I can make a class function private by starting a function name
with two underscores, but it does not work with module functions.

For exmaple, __func1 is still visible outside the module.

mymodule.py
my module

def __func1():
print Hello



main.py
import mymodule

mymodule.__func1()

Thanks,

Re: Fatest standard way to sum bytes (and their squares)?

 For a file hashing system (finding similar files, rather than identical 
 ones), I need to be able to efficiently and quickly sum the ordinals of 
 the bytes of a file and their squares.  Because of the nature of the 
 application, it's a requirement that I do it in Python, or only with 
 standard library modules (if such facilities exist) that might assist.
 
 So far the fastest way I've found is using the `sum` builtin and 
 generators::
 
   ordinalSum = sum(ord(x) for x in data)
   ordinalSumSquared = sum(ord(x)**2 for x in data)
 
 This is about twice as fast as an explicit loop, but since it's going to 
 be processing massive amounts of data, the faster the better.  Are there 
 any tricks I'm not thinking of, or perhaps helper functions in other 
 modules that I'm not thinking of?


I see a lot of messages attacking the CPU optimization, but what about the
I/O optimization - which admittedly, the question seems to sidestep.

You might experiment with using mmap() instead of read()...  If it helps,
it may help big, because the I/O time is likely to dominate the CPU time.

If you had bothered to include the error message it would have been 
obvious that the problem with your code isn't in body of the method at

The body of a Python module is executed the first time it is imported 
(that's how the functions and classes get defined: class and def

That's because you left out the self argument in the definition of

I apologize for not posting the exact code and error message. The

Test Module

def __module_level_func():

import testmodule

x=testmodule.TestClass()
x.class_level_func()


The error message I am encountering is: NameError: global name
'_TestClass__module_level_func' is not defined

I think it has something to do with the two underscores for
__module_level_func. Maybe it has something to do with the python
implementation of the private class level functions.

By the way, the reason I am naming it __module_level_func() is because
I'd like __module_level_func() to be private to the module, like the C
static function. If the interpreter cannot really enforce it, at least
it is some sort of naming convention for me.

They are intended to generate code for computer language parsers.

I'd go about doing this in Python. Just to let you know, I'm running windows 
XP and I don't really need it to be a cross platform solution, but if it was 
that'd be an extra bonus.

Thanks very much for taking the time to read this and, hopefully, respond!

Segmentation Fault in 2.5 Installation

2007-08-18 Thread martinezfive
Hi.
I was attempting to instal the 2.5 release on my Ubuntu box.
Config went fine.  Make went fine.  Make instal, not so much.  I get:
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/test/test_compare.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/test/test_compile.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/test/test_compiler.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/test/test_complex.py ...
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.5/test/
test_complex_args.py ...
make: *** [libinstall] Segmentation fault
Any ideas on how to proceed?  Do you need any additional information
from me?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Parser Generator?

2007-08-18 Thread Jack
Thanks for all the replies!

SPARK looks promising. Its doc doesn't say if it handles unicode
(CJK in particular) encoding though.

Yapps also looks powerful: http://theory.stanford.edu/~amitp/yapps/

There's also PyGgy http://lava.net/~newsham/pyggy/

I may also give Antlr a try.

If anyone has experiences using any of the parser generators with CJK
languages, I'd be very interested in hearing that.

Jack

 Hi all, I need to do syntax parsing of simple naturual languages,
 for example, weather of London or what is the time, simple
 things like these, with Unicode support in the syntax.

 In Java, there are JavaCC, Antlr, etc. I wonder what people use
 in Python? Antlr also has Python support but I'm not sure how good
 it is. Comments/hints are welcome.

Understanding closures

2007-08-18 Thread Ramashish Baranwal
Hi,

I want to use variables passed to a function in an inner defined
function. Something like-

def fun1(method=None):
def fun2():
if not method: method = 'GET'
print '%s: this is fun2' % method
return
fun2()

fun1()

However I get this error-
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'method' referenced before
assignment

This however works fine.

def fun1(method=None):
if not method: method = 'GET'
def fun2():
print '%s: this is fun2' % method
return
fun2()

fun1()

Is there a simple way I can pass on the variables passed to the outer
function to the inner one without having to use or refer them in the
outer function?

Thanks,
Ramashish

Sure, just don't ASSIGN TO those names in the inner function.  Any name
ASSIGNED TO in a given function is local to that specific function (save
for global statements, which bypass variable of containing functions
anyway).

Re: How to call module functions inside class instance functions?

 The error message I am encountering is: NameError: global name

 I think it has something to do with the two underscores for
 __module_level_func. Maybe it has something to do with the python
 implementation of the private class level functions.
 
 By the way, the reason I am naming it __module_level_func() is because
 I'd like __module_level_func() to be private to the module, like the C
 static function. If the interpreter cannot really enforce it, at least
 it is some sort of naming convention for me.

The two underscores are exactly the cause of your problem: as you see in
the error message, the compiled has inserted the CLASS name (not MODULE
name) implicitly there.  This name mangling is part of Python's rules.

Use a SINGLE leading underscore (NOT double ones) as the sort of naming
convention to indicate privacy, and Python will support you (mostly by
social convention, but a little bit technically, too); use a different
convention (particularly one that fights against the language rules;-)
and you're fighting city hall to no good purpose and without much hope
of achieving anything whatsoever thereby.

Originator: NO

Worked as expected for me on Mac OS X 10.4.10 running from
the trunk (you didn't mention what version you were using).
In ~/tmp/deep I created a maximally nested directory tree from the shell
like so:

cd /Users/skip/tmp/deep
for i in `range 1000` ; do
x=`printf %04d $i`
echo $x
mkdir $x
cd $x
done

where the range command is analogous to Python's range
builtin:

% range 20
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

The for loop barfed after making directory 0205.

In Python I then executed these statements:

import os.path
base = /Users/skip/tmp/deep
for x in range(210):
subdirs = os.listdir(base)
base = os.path.join(base, subdirs[0])
print base

This went until it got to dir 0200 where it raised an
OSError:

[Errno 63] File name too long:
'/Users/skip/tmp/deep//0001/.../0199/0200'

which stands to reason since base was 1025 characters long
at that point.  MAXPATHLEN is defined to be 1024 on my
system, so the OSError is to be expected.

Skip

Summary: Display CallTips for classes using metaclasses.

Initial Comment:
Hello,

Currently, if you write something like this:

class MyType(type):
pass

class MyClass(object):
__metaclass__ = MyType
def __init__(self, a):
pass

And write in the shell:

 MyClass(

a calltip won't be displayed.

To fix this, replace this line in CallTups.py:

if type(ob) in (types.ClassType, types.TypeType):

with this one:

if issubclass(type(ob), (types.ClassType, types.TypeType)):

and now it works.

Thanks,
Noam
