logging module: removing handlers
I have just discovered a bug in my code using the logging module, due to handlers not being closed properly. The issue was that I called the function removeHandler and I assumed that it took care of closing the handler, but it did not. Looking at the source code of logging/__init__.py I discovered that it is implemented as follows: def removeHandler(self, hdlr): Remove the specified handler from this logger. if hdlr in self.handlers: #hdlr.close() hdlr.acquire() try: self.handlers.remove(hdlr) finally: hdlr.release() The question is: why in the hell the hdlr.close() line is commented?? I discovered this because we had locks in our production database (we were logging on the DB) and it was not easy to spot the source of the problem, so I would like to know the rationale for not closing the handler in removeHandler.

As Django these days supports WSGI interface there is nothing to stop it being run with other hosting solutions that support WSGI. So, you could host it under paster or CherryPy WSGI servers. You could even run it under CGI if you were really desperate using a CGI-WSGI adapter. So, it isn't strictly correct to say it is as a multiprocess framework specifically for mod_python, although the developers will admit in the first instance that they didn't design the internals with multithreading in mind. That said, there aren't believed to be any multithreading issues in Django itself at this time. People keep pushing this barrow about the GIL and multithreading being a huge problem, when in the context of Apache it is isn't, at least not to the degree people make out. The reason for this is that when using worker MPM it sill acts as a multi process web server even though each process is also multithreaded. Within those worker MPM child processes there is also a lot going on that doesn't involve Python code nor the GIL, for example initial request process and serving up of static files etc. Result is that the Python GIL is no impediment when using Apache on UNIX to making good use of multiple processors or cores, even when Apache worker MPM is used. I understand about a fifth of this exchange but I'm glad it's here so I can follow links and search on the terminology. I couldn't tell from earlier posts if mod_python was good or bad. Version 3.3 of mod_python fixed up a lot of issues that existed with older versions of mod_python. There are still a lot of issues in mod_python unfixed. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON In the main people will not run into these issues, of if they do, the incidence of them causing a direct or significant impact is low, or with people just tolerating the problems. If you want to be where hosting with Apache is heading, then look at mod_wsgi (http://www.modwsgi.org) instead. People will say I am biased because I wrote it, but I was also the main person who did the more recent work on fixing up mod_python and am more aware than others of what problems still exist in mod_python. To be frank, unless some white knight comes along and dives into mod_python and fixes up the remaining issues, then you probably will not see any significant future updates to mod_python and it will just stagnate. I certainly will not be devoting much time to mod_python any more. Part of the problem with mod_python is that the code base has grown over time and is long overdue for a complete rethink, which is in part what mod_wsgi was about, ie., making the code and configuration a lot simpler and safer for use in web hosting environments. Thus mod_wsgi takes aspects of what mod_python does, combining it with aspects of how FASTCGI solutions work. This gives the option of embedding a Python application in Apache for maximum speed, or using daemon processes as means of being able to better separate multiple applications. Most importantly, mod_wsgi supports WSGI directly, making it reasonably trivial to run any Python web framework or application which supports the WSGI standard. The Django book says: Apache with mod_python currently is the most robust setup for using Django on a production server. Is that true? I would say that that is now debatable. Overall mod_wsgi is probably a better package in terms of what it has to offer. Only thing against mod_wsgi at this point is peoples willingness to accept something that is new in conjunction with Linux distributions and web hosting companies being slow to adopt new packages. Various people are quite happily using mod_wsgi. Users of mod_wsgi range from people trying to run it in memory constrained VPS systems, right up to major sites serving up to between 3-4 million hits a day. There have been a few odd things come up since the initial release which have since been fixed, but the core is showing itself to be very solid. Graham Thanks everyone for the response.

logging and propagation
Hi, I want to setup logging with two loggers: The child logger is used when something different needs to be done with the log record, and the log record will propagate and be logged by the root logger as usual. However, there are certain times when I don't want a log record to propagate from the child to the parent. I don't really want to add a filter to the root logger, as it should be up to the child whether the record propagates or not. I've tried setting the child to a lower level then the parent, but if a record is dealt with by the child, the parent deals with it anyway regardless of its own log level. Also, filters only apply particular handlers and do not affect propagation. Can anyone suggest a simple way to achieve this? Currently, the only thing I can think of, is overriding the callHandlers method in a custom Logger class. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The built-in sorted() function and the sort() method on various
collections take an optional key=function keyword paramater
with which you can pass a function (lambdas are convenient) to
extract the bit on which you want to compare:
d_list = [
... ['a', 1, 9],
... ['b', 2, 8],
... ['c', 3, 7],
... ['d', 4, 6],
... ['e', 5, 5],
... ]
print sorted.__doc__
sorted(iterable, cmp=None, key=None, reverse=False) -- new
sorted list
sorted(d_list, key=lambda x: x[2]) # sort by the 3rd item
[['e', 5, 5], ['d', 4, 6], ['c', 3, 7], ['b', 2, 8], ['a', 1, 9]]
sorted(d_list, key=lambda x: x[1]) # sort by the 2nd item
[['a', 1, 9], ['b', 2, 8], ['c', 3, 7], ['d', 4, 6], ['e', 5, 5]]
sorted(d_list, key=lambda x: x[0]) # sort by the 1st item
[['a', 1, 9], ['b', 2, 8], ['c', 3, 7], ['d', 4, 6], ['e', 5, 5]]
Not to be too complicated, but there are functions that return a
callable that is faster than a lambda.
import operator
Then, instead of lambda x: x[2] use operator.itemgetter(2) and
instead of lambda x: x.foo use operator.attrgetter('foo').

Re: Python web frameworks + adobe flex
I never used the Django AMF, I use JSON to go between Python and Flex. It works well, but lacks easy 2 way communication of course. Interfacing with Flex is a gaping hole in the Python libraries. Python needs a web framework that embraces Flex from the ground up, HTML being such a limited web display technology. There's not much of a standard for Python and Flex, and in a short period of time, you have to start rolling your own. That being said, Django and Flex do blend well.

Hey Mike,
Welcome to Python!
About your first issue, just change the line
outfile.write( '%s', % (LoL[x][y]))
With
outfile.write( '%s', % (LoL[x][y][:-1]))
Why? Because when you do the line.split, you are including the '\n' at
the end, so a new line is created.
Now, what you are doing is not very pythonic (batteries are included
in python, so you could just use the CSV module). Also, the for x in
range(len(somelist)) is not recommended, you can just do something
like:
import csv
infile = open(mydata.txt, rb)
outfile = open(out.txt, wb)
reader = csv.reader(infile, delimiter='\t')
writer = csv.writer(outfile, quotechar=None, delimiter = \\)
for row in reader:
data = ' + ', '.join(row) + '
base = ( Insert NBUSER.Grochamber Values %s, )
writer.writerow([base % data])
infile.close()
outfile.close()
The above lines works like your program, writing exactly what you asked.
Again, all lists are iterable, you don't need to iterate an integer
from 1 to len(list). (isn't python wonderful?)

HI Sergio,
First of all, thanks for your reply and yes I'm new to Python.
Did a google on CSV and I am reading the documentation about it right
now. In the post I mentioned I was using Windows. I also have a laptop
with linux installed on it. When I ran the same program on my linux
laptop I did see the \n included in the list. Somehow, I did not see
it on windows, or missed it. So that cleared up the first problem.
Also, I will be doing a lot of this data importing from excel etc. can
you point me to a tutorial/document/book etc. where I can find
snippets of using various python utilities. For eg. something which
has the sample for using line.split(\t) or
outfile.write( '%s', % (LoL[x][y][:-1])) , explaining the various
options available. The default Idle gui help is not too informative
to a newbie like me.

Vinay Because the server closes the connection after receiving the first message, which is before the client has even sent the second message. Although a packet capture is revealing something more interesting. After receiving the first message, the server sends a FIN/ACK back to the client, and the client responds with an ACK. However, the client doesn't send a FIN/ACK back, it tries to maintain the connection and at the next message sends a packet on the same connection (with PSH/ ACK flags set), to which the server responds RST, which is reasonable, since as far as it's concerned, it's closed that connection. So the client has tried, and failed to send the second message. The client makes no attempt to send the third message. So basically, the client, the SocketHandler, isn't closing the connection when the server closes the connection, which isn't necessarily a problem, but there is still at least one message that the client logs that generates no network traffic at all. These tests were done with the time between messages set at 2 seconds. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

A day's worth of course prep for beginners would let them debug all the crap that building MySQLdb on Windows might throw at them, for example? I think not! (MySQLdb, last time I looked, was one of the not-so-obscure modules that don't have a Windows installer available and kept up to date. Maybe it does now, but that's not really the point.) A days worth of course prep would allow the professor (or his TA, more likely) to produce a set of installers that's suitable for use with the course. This is a comp sci course, not a how to sysadmin a Python installation course. For the record, it took me less than 3 minutes to install MySqldb, the first time I've ever needed to do it - I don't like or approve of MySql. Steps required: Google for mysql python and click through 3 or 4 links to the SF download page. Download the binary installer, from March 2007. Not exactly rocket science. On a similar note, I have or create executable installers for all the third party modules I use, because I need to provide them to the people who do our deployments. This has never been much of a burden. I certainly don't recognise what some people have been saying, though. It's a rare thing that I have any real pain installing a Python module on Linux. That's not to say you don't need some background knowledge about distributions and Python if doing it by hand, of course (rather than with a packaging tool like apt-get). Occasionally you'll want the newest version of something, which will in turn occasionally get you into some grim automake issue or similar. But all of this can be entirely avoided in an introductory course -- simply restrict yourself to what can be installed with apt-get (if the instructor feels they *must* make some new library available, they can always package it themselves). The obstacles as presented in the OP seem pretty bogus to me.

3. What do I do when the data is missing? Like missing data?
First, for reading the file, recommend you look at the CSV module,
which can be configured to use TABS rather than COMMAS.
For SQL -- if you are going to be writing raw text strings to an
output file for later batching, YOU are going to have to supply some
means to properly escape the data. The better way is to have the program
connect to the database, using the applicable database adapter: MySQLdb
for MySQL, pysqlite2 (or some variant) for SQLite3, some generic ODBC
adapter if going that route... Let IT do the escaping.
Now, since MySQLdb just happens to expose the escaping function, AND
just uses %s formatting of the results, one could easily get stuff to
write to a file.
import MySQLdb
con = MySQLdb.connect(host=localhost, user=test, passwd=test,
db=test)
data = [ 11/26/200756.366 898.90 -10.086 23.11 1212.3,

1.5,
... 11/26/200752.25 897.6 -12.5 12.6133.5
]
Note how I left out a field (two tabs, nothing between), and how I
put in a data item with a ' in it.
for ln in data:
... flds = ln.split(\t)
... placeholders = , .join([%s] * len(flds))
... sql = BASE % placeholders
... sql = sql % con.literal(flds)
... print sql
...
insert into NBUSER.Grochamber values ('11/26/2007', '56.366', '898.90',

insert into NBUSER.Grochamber values ('11/26/2007', '52.25', '897.6',

Note how the empty field is just '' (If you really need a NULL,
you'll have to do some games to put a Python None entity into that empty

figured Python would be best. However, (see my reply above) I am

Python Phrasebook. But that one covers a lot of different fields
whereas for my purposes I need a book with examples on using Python in
the above manner. If you or anybody knows about this kind of book

snip
2. How do I avoid the , symbol after the last entry in the line?
(this are supposed to be sql-queries - importing excel based tabbed
data to sql database)
If those are SQL inserts, the ( is in the wrong place...
insert into NBUSER.Grochamber values (v1, v2, ... , vx)
3. What do I do when the data is missing? Like missing data?
First, for reading the file, recommend you look at the CSV module,
which can be configured to use TABS rather than COMMAS.
For SQL -- if you are going to be writing raw text strings to an
output file for later batching, YOU are going to have to supply some
means to properly escape the data. The better way is to have the program
connect to the database, using the applicable database adapter: MySQLdb
for MySQL, pysqlite2 (or some variant) for SQLite3, some generic ODBC
adapter if going that route... Let IT do the escaping.
Now, since MySQLdb just happens to expose the escaping function, AND
just uses %s formatting of the results, one could easily get stuff to
write to a file.
import MySQLdb
con = MySQLdb.connect(host=localhost, user=test, passwd=test,
db=test)
data = [ 11/26/200756.366 898.90 -10.086 23.11 1212.3,
... 11/26/2007897.6 O'Reilly12.6
1.5,
... 11/26/200752.25 897.6 -12.5 12.6133.5
]
Note how I left out a field (two tabs, nothing between), and how I
put in a data item with a ' in it.
for ln in data:
... flds = ln.split(\t)
... placeholders = , .join([%s] * len(flds))
... sql = BASE % placeholders
... sql = sql % con.literal(flds)
... print sql
...
insert into NBUSER.Grochamber values ('11/26/2007', '56.366', '898.90',
'-10.086', '23.11', '1212.3')
insert into NBUSER.Grochamber values ('11/26/2007', '', '897.6',
'O\'Reilly', '12.6', '1.5')
insert into NBUSER.Grochamber values ('11/26/2007', '52.25', '897.6',
'-12.5', '12.6', '133.5')
Note how the empty field is just '' (If you really need a NULL,
you'll have to do some games to put a Python None entity into that empty
string field). Also note how the single quote string value has been
escaped.
Something like this for NULL in STRING DATA -- if a field were
numeric 0 it would get substituted with a NULL too...
for ln in data:
... flds = ln.split(\t)
... placeholders = , .join([%s] * len(flds))

Hi Dennis,
Thanks to you for your reply. I am a newbie to Python and appreciate
you helping me. Now, I am importing data from an excel sheet and
getting it ready for a derby database. I am to use netbeans, since our
research team uses that. However, derby database uses sql entries to
update the database. And I m trying to format all the excel data I
have, which I got from using labview. I suggested that we use awk/perl/
python etc. and finally after looking at the documentation available I
figured Python would be best. However, (see my reply above) I am
looking for a sample book/document etc. somebody suggested we try
Python Phrasebook. But that one covers a lot of different fields
whereas for my purposes I need a book with examples on using Python in
the above manner. If you or anybody knows about this kind of book
please let me know.
Contextmenu in a QTreeWidget with PyQT
I apologize in advance if this is not the correct forum to ask this
and if someone knows a better place, please let me know. But, I am
trying to create a Contextmenu (a right-click popup menu) from within
a QTreeWidget. I tried setting the contextMenuPolicy to
CustomContextMenu and then handling the signal
customContextMenuRequested() but nothing seems to be happening. ie:
self.tree = QTreeWidget()
self.tree.setContextMenuPolicy(Qt.CustomContextMenu)
self.connect(self.tree,SIGNAL('customContextMenuRequested()'),self.newContext)
Does anyone have a sample or tutorial on how to do this? One other
question, whe I right click, it changes the selection in the
TreeWidget, would I need to remove the handler for right clicks to get
the menu? Thanks!!

import pysqlite2 or import sqlite3?
Hello,
I'm using Python 2.5.1, Pysqlite 2.3.5 and SQLite 3.4.1 on Gentoo Linux.
I've always imported pysqlite using
from pysqlite2 import dbapi2
and that works. If I try
import sqlite3
I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module
File /usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/__init__.py, line 24, in module
from dbapi2 import *
File /usr/lib/python2.5/sqlite3/dbapi2.py, line 27, in module
from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3
And I thought that's normal, there is no Python module called sqlite3.
Then, after a discussion in the Gentoo forum, I saw this in the Python
library reference:
To use the module, you must first create a Connection object that
represents the database. Here the data will be stored in the /tmp/example
file:
conn = sqlite3.connect('/tmp/example')
No import statement, though, so the module might have been renamed in that
statement. Possibly not a really good idea in the documentation.
But now I see an old post to c.p.l:
I'm using Ubuntu Feisty:
* Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 2 2007, 16:56:35)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
* SQLite version 3.3.13
Suppose I run the following program:
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('example')
...
And from the rest of the posting that import seems to work. Has that module
different names for different Linux distributions? Or what's the matter
here?

The most common answer you are going to get is that explicit is better than implicit, which I tend to agree with. Some people use 's' instead of 'self'. This shortens the number of characters you have to type, and is only one character more than the Ruby '@' prefix. Here is a metaprogramming technique that removes self, but I don't recommend these sorts of things, especially if other people are going to be looking at your code in the future.

It would be nicer to check the reference manual than ask here. If you

Release 2.5
19th September, 2006
===
The tutorial gives simpler explanations and examples, including:
7. Input and Output
7.2.1 Methods of File Objects
f.read()
'This is the entire file.\n'
f.read()
''
===
If the end of the file has been reached, f.read() will return an empty
string ().
By browsing the index or TOC, or searching, or guessing, you should
conclude that you want
3.9 File Objects
There, and checking for EOF you'll note that both read( [size]) and
readline( [size]) include:
An empty string is returned only when EOF is encountered
immediately.
HTH?
In Ruby it's f.eof:
It also is not nice to talk Ruby here--nor Perl. Refer to C/C++ if
necessary.

In Ruby:
f = File.open(jopa)
= #File:jopa
f.read()
= jopa\n
f.eof
= true
Is there a Python analog?

RE: the annoying, verbose self
There are always tricks. If 5 characters is really too much to type, how about 2 characters s.. Though I would recommend against that since it violates standard Python convention. def foo( self ): becomes def foo( s ): Otherwise, if you happen to be using self.something a lot, just assign it to a variable, and use that. But be careful as that can become a lot more difficult to read/maintain than simply leaving self along to begin with. ss = self.something ss.foo() To me, using 'self' in Python is no different than using some other variable pointing to a class instance in a static C++ class function. -James -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] On Behalf Of braver Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:52 PM To: python-list@python.org Subject: the annoying, verbose self Is there any trick to get rid of having to type the annoying, character-eating self. prefix everywhere in a class?

Nope! I don't want to buffer input myself, and don't want to store
look-ahead and push it back. f.read()/readline() is not a non-
destructive check, and thus won't do.
In Ruby it's f.eof:
It also is not nice to talk Ruby here--nor Perl. Refer to C/C++ if

Well folks compare scripting languages all the time, and surely Ruby
is closer to Python than C++. Since Ruby can do f.eof, which is
easily found in its references, and Python can't, or its EOF can't
easily be found -- the one *equivalent* to a semantically clear
Ruby's, or Pascal's IIRC, f.eof -- something's missing here...
Why do I have to count sizes of lines read and compare it to some
filesize or do other weird tricks just to see, in a way not changing
my input stream, whether it's at the, well, EOF?

Because you can't, generally, tell whether or not a stream is at the end of the file without reading from it; the C standard library doesn't guarantee that the EOF status is set until _after_ you've tried to read past the end of the file. I don't know, but I suspect that may be why python doesn't support querying files for EOF status - the fact that EOF can be false when you've read all the data in the file is a source of confusion to lots of C programmers. It looks like ruby internally buffers the stream itself, which is how come it can support this. According to the docs: Note that IO#eof? reads data to a input buffer. http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/IO.html#M002309 I'd imagine that's inefficient in a lot of cases; and I don't think it provides much benefit. What's the hardship in checking the return values of your IO calls? Or iterating over the file, which is a more elegant solution in many cases. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Here's some functions to get the binary representation of a float. Then
just manipulate the bits (an exercise for the reader):

def f2b(f):
return struct.unpack('I',struct.pack('f',f))[0]
def b2f(b):
return struct.unpack('f',struct.pack('I',b))[0]

I don't really want to add a filter to the root logger, as it should be up to the child whether the record propagates or not.

Also, filters only apply particular handlers and do not affect propagation. Can anyone suggest a simple way to achieve this?

Would the additional quoting be ok when the code checks for COMPSPEC == cmd.exe first? # Supply os.popen() def popen(cmd, mode=r, buffering=None): if not isinstance(cmd, str): raise TypeError(invalid cmd type (%s, expected string) % type(cmd)) if mode not in (r, w): raise ValueError(invalid mode %r % mode) import subprocess, io if mode == r: proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, bufsize=buffering) return _wrap_close(io.TextIOWrapper(proc.stdout), proc) else: proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, bufsize=buffering) return _wrap_close(io.TextIOWrapper(proc.stdin), proc) __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1475 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
