Announce : TimeDuration 0.1a released
This is a pure python module for parsing time interval strings, normalizing, comparing and ordering time intervals. This module is still in alpha phase. It handles string like : 1 hour, 15 minutes and 23.2 seconds 01:15:23.2 1h 15min 23.2sec Output from *nix uptime or time commands : 15 days, 23:04 0m2.496s It handles comparisons and sorting of TimeDuration objects. It normalizes time interval strings, e.g. : 5 d, 27 h, 75 m 120 s will normalize to 6 D 04:17:0.00 TODO: * Catch garbled input strings that might confuse the parser. * Create an iterable class to handle slices, min, max, sums, average, mean and stddev * More testing Homepage: http://statz.com/libs-TimeDuration/ Author : Andrew Lee (fiacre.patrick - at - gmail.com) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
DoIt 0.1.0 Released
DoIt - A task execution tool (build-tool) = This is the first public release of DoIt Website: http://python-doit.sourceforge.net/ Release: DoIt 0.1.0 License: MIT Maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] About - DoIt is a build tool that focus not only on making/building things but on executing any kind of tasks in an efficient way. Designed to be easy to use and get out of your way. DoIt like most build tools is used to execute tasks defined in a configuration file. Configuration files are python modules. The tasks can be python functions (or any callable) or an external shell script. DoIt automatically keeps track of declared dependencies executing only tasks that needs to be update (based on which dependencies have changed). In DoIt, unlike most(all?) build-tools, a task doesn't need to define a target file to use the execute only if not up-to-date feature. This make DoIt specially suitable for running test suites. DoIt can be used to perform any task or build anything, though it doesn't support automatic dependency discovery for any language.

pprint module and newer standard types
Hi,
When I try and use pprint on standard types I get varying 'quality of
output'.
Lists will wrap nicely to multiple lines as will dicts, but sets and
defaultdicts give one long unreadable line.
Is their a chance to get this changed so that more built-in types look
pretty when printed with pprint?
I just did a small trial on an early version of Python 3 and sets
don't seem to obey pprint.pprints width argument, the same way that
lists do:

I did sth. like this:

proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': proxy_url})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
src = urllib2.urlopen(url)
now you can easily read from src.

codec for html/xml entities!?
Hi friends, I've been OFF-Python now for quite a while and am glad
being back. At least to some part as work permits.
Q:
What's a good way to encode and decode those entities like euro; or
#8364; ?
I need isolated functions to process lines. Looking at the xml and
sgmlib stuff I didn't really get a clue as to what's the most pythonic
way. Are there library functions I didn't see?
FYI, here is what I hacked down and what will probably (hopefully...)
do the job.

Hmm, since you provide code, I'm not quite sure what your actual question is.
So I'll just comment on the code here.
def entity2uc(entity):
Convert entity like #123; to unichr.
Return (result,True) on success or (input string, False)
otherwise. Example:
entity2cp('euro;') - (u'\u20ac',True)
entity2cp('#x20ac;') - (u'\u20ac',True)
entity2cp('#8364;') - (u'\u20ac',True)
entity2cp('foobar;') - ('foobar;',False)
Is there a reason why you return a tuple instead of just returning the
converted result and raising an exception if the conversion fails?

Re: Database vs Data Structure?
erikcw a écrit : Hi, I'm working on a web application where each user will be creating several projects in there account, each with 1,000-50,000 objects. Each object will consist of a unique name, an id, and some meta data. The number of objects will grow and shrink as the user works with their project. I'm trying to decided whether to store the objects in the database (each object gets it's own row) or to use some sort of data-structure (maybe nested dictionaries or a custom class) and store the pickled data-structure in a single row in the database (then unpickle the data and query in memory). Yuck. Fighting against the tool won't buy you much - except for interoperability and maintainance headeaches. Either use your relational database properly, or switch to an object db - like ZODB or Durus - if you're ok with the implications (no interoperability, no simple query langage, and possibly bad performances if your app does heavy data processing). A few requirements: -Fast/scalable (web app) -able to query objects based on name and id. -will play nicely with versioning (undo/redo) Versionning is a somewhat othogonal problem. Any input on the best way to go?

Re: Metaprogramming Example
andrew cooke a écrit : bruno: Ho, and yes : one day, you'll get why it's such a good thing to unite functions and methods !-) me: PS Is there anywhere that explains why Decorators (in the context of functions/methods) are so good? I've read lots of things saying they are good, but no real justification of why. in the text above i wrote Decorators rather than Descriptors. it was in response to bruno's comment, also above. sorry for the confusion. Ho, you meant Descriptors ? Well, a first point is that the support for methods is built on a combination of two general purpose constructs - callable objects and the descriptor protocol - instead of being a special-case construct by itself. IOW, this is build *with* Python itself, instead of being built *into* Python. Practically, this means that (amongst other niceties) : - you can define functions outside classes and use them as instance or class methods - you can add/replaces methods dynamically on a per-class or per-instance basis - you can access the function object of a method and use it as a function - you can define your own callable types, that - if you implement the appropriate support for the descriptor protocol - will be usable as methods too also, sorry for the inflammatory language Which one ??? by referring to the titanic i didn't mean that python was a disaster, rather that the iceberg is still there (i am not 100% sure what the iceberg is, but it's something to do with making namespaces explicit in some places and not others). I guess you're thinking of the self argument, declared in the function's signature but not explicitly passed when calling the method ? If so, the fact is you *do* pass it explicitly - by calling the function *as a method of an objet*. Given the following definitions: def func(obj, data): print obj : %s - data : %s % (obj, data) class Foo(object): meth = func f = Foo() What the difference between: func(f, 42) and f.meth(42) In both cases, f is directly and explicitly involved as one of the targets of the call.

process 2nd file, (this may take several seconds... )
and so on..
in this case, having list of open files at begining of processes is useless...
anyway thanks.

i need a faster way.

way for this.
thanks.
On Linux there are symlinks from /proc/PID/fd to the open
files. You could use this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
pids=os.listdir('/proc')
for pid in sorted(pids):
try:
int(pid)
except ValueError:
continue
fd_dir=os.path.join('/proc', pid, 'fd')
for file in os.listdir(fd_dir):
try:
link=os.readlink(os.path.join(fd_dir, file))
except OSError:
continue
print pid, link
Unfortunately I think that is pretty much exactly what lsof does so is
unlikely to be any faster!
However if you have 1000s of files to check you only need to do the
above scan once and build a dict with all open files in whereas lsof
will do it once per call so that may be a useful speedup.
Eg
import os
pids=os.listdir('/proc')
open_files = {}
for pid in sorted(pids):
try:
int(pid)
except ValueError:
continue
fd_dir=os.path.join('/proc', pid, 'fd')
try:
fds = os.listdir(fd_dir)
except OSError:
continue
for file in fds:
try:
link=os.readlink(os.path.join(fd_dir, file))
except OSError:
continue
if not os.path.exists(link):
continue
open_files.setdefault(link, []).append(pid)
for link in sorted(open_files.keys()):
print %s : %s % (link, , .join(map(str, open_files[link])))
You might want to consider http://pyinotify.sourceforge.net/ depending
on exactly what you are doing...

Yo. http://code.google.com/p/python-safethread/ Sounds very interesting. I particularly liked this bit from the web page - an excellent solution to fine grained locking. Sending only immutable objects between threads is very like the functional approach used by Erlang which is extremely good at concurrency. Which objects can be shared between threads You probably know how to append to a list or modify a dict. When confronted with threading though you may start to wonder, what happens if two threads modify a list or a dict simultaneously? There's two common answers to this: * 1. Corruption. This is the default in C, and to a lesser degree Java. It doesn't limit you much and can be faster, but it requires some deep voodoo to know when you're using it right. * 2. Locks. All the operations internally lock the object. This makes them individually correct, but they'll be wrong again if you try to compose them into larger operations. It also adds a significant performance penalty. My priority is making it easy to write correct programs, and neither of those options are good enough. Instead, I take a third option as my default: * 3. Make sharing impossible, avoiding the question. list and dict cannot be shared between threads. Any attempt to pass a list or dict into something like a Queue will raise a TypeError. This ensures any thread interaction is explicit, rather than implicit. See also: The Zen of Python Of course if you couldn't share any objects then you'd just have processes, which are quite awkward to use. Instead, I only make mutable objects like list and dict unshareable, while immutable int and str objects can still be shared. Further, mutable objects that provide an explicit API for use between threads are also shareable. -- Nick Craig-Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Note that a read() at OS level is not the same as a read() at Python (or C fread()) level. Python pretends to read an entire file in one call, but the OS is using disk-blocks of the underlying file system as unit of read/write. In other words, even if nobody messes with the file at the moment you open it, you don't necessarily get an uncorrupted file afaik.

Those characters will pretty much never be used in ISO-8859-1 documents.

Something like:

One warning: This works if you know all your documents are in one of
those two encodings, but you could break other encodings, like UTF-8
this way. Fortunately UTF-8 is a pretty fragile encoding, so it's easy
to break. You can usually test if a document is decent UTF-8 just by
wrapping it in a try except block:
try:
unicode_text = encoded.text.decode('utf-8')
except UnicodeEncodeError: # I think that's the proper exception
# do the stuff above
None of these are perfect methods, but then again, if text encoding
detection were a perfect science, python could just handle it on its
own.
If in doubt, prompt the user for confirmation.
Maybe others can share better best practices.

If you google my name + unicode, you see that I'm often answering questions regarding unicode. I wouldn't say I'm a recognized expert on the subject, but I certainly do know enough to deal with it whenever I encounter it. And from my experience with the problems in general, and specificly in python, as well as trying to help others I can say that: - 95% of the times, the problem is in front of the keyboard. - programmers stubbornly refuse to *learn* what unicode is, and what an encoding is, and what role utf-8 plays. Instead, the resort to a voodoo-approach of throwing in various encode/decode-calls + a good deal of cat's feces in hope of wriggling themselves out of the problem. - it is NOT sensible to use utf8 as unicode-type - that is as bad as it can get because you don't see the errors, but instead mangle your data and end up with a byte-string-mess. If that is your road to heaven, by all means chose it - and don't use unicode at all. and be prepared for damnation :) If your programs worked for now, but don't do anymore because of Py3K introducing mandatory unicode-objects for string-literals it pretty much follows that they *seem* to work, but very, very probably fail in the face of actual i18nized data. The *only* sensible thing to do is follow these simple rules - and these apply with python 2.x, and will be enforced by 3k which is a good thing IMHO: - when you read data from somewhere, make sure you know which encoding it has, and *immediatly* convert it to unicode - when you write data, make sure you know which encoding you want it to have (in doubt, chose utf-8 to prevent loss of data) and apply it. - XML-parsers take byte-strings spit out unicode. Period. I neither want to imply that you are an Idiot nor that unicode doesn't have it's complexities. And I'd love to say that Python wouldn't add to these by having two string-types. But the *real* problem is that it used to have only bytestrings, and finally Py3K will solve that issue. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
SWIG (Python) - no constructor defined for concrete class
Yet another SWIG question (YASQ!).
I'm having a problem with using an abstract base class. When
generating the Python bindings, SWIG thinks that all the concrete
classes that derive from this abstract class are abstract too and
won't create the correct constructor.
Abstract class:
[source lang=cpp]class CORE_API Shape
{
public:
virtual ~Shape()
{
nshapes--;
};
double x, y;
virtual void move(double dx, double dy);
virtual double area(void) = 0;
virtual double perimeter(void) = 0;
static int nshapes;
protected:
Shape() {
nshapes++;
}
};
[/source]
Derived classes:
[source lang=cpp]class CORE_API Circle : public Shape
{
private:
double radius;
public:
Circle(double r): Shape(), radius(r)
{
};
virtual double area(void);
virtual double perimeter(void);
};
class CORE_API Square : public Shape
{
private:
double width;
public:
Square(double r): Shape(), width(r)
{
};
virtual double area(void);
virtual double perimeter(void);
};
[/source]
SWIG file:
[source lang=cpp]class Shape
{
virtual void move(double dx, double dy);
virtual double area(void) = 0;
virtual double perimeter(void) = 0;
};
class Circle: public Shape
{
Circle(double r);
virtual double area(void);
virtual double perimeter(void);
};
class Square: public Shape
{
Square(double r);
virtual double area(void);
virtual double perimeter(void);
};
[/source]
C++ COde:
[source lang=cpp] Circle c(1.02);
std::cout (c++)\t\tCircle\t c.area() std::endl;
Square s(9.20);
std::cout (c++)\t\tSquare\t s.area() std::endl;
[/source]
For some reason SWIG thinks that Circle and Square are abstract. Any
ideas why? I'm rather confused by this.

There are many ways to solve your problem efficiently, one of such ways, among the simpler ones is to to not modify the original list: from random import shuffle, seed items = list(abcdefghijklm) seed(10) shuffle(items) it_items = iter(items) it_items.next() 'i' it_items.next() 'd' it_items.next() 'l' it_items.next() 'b' it_items.next() 'j' it_items.next() 'a' it_items.next() 'e' If you don't want to extract the same element twice across different runs of the program, then you may create a class like this: from random import shuffle, seed class Sampler(object): def __init__(self, items, init_seed=1): self.items = list(items) self.last = len(self.items) - 1 self.init_seed = init_seed seed(init_seed) shuffle(self.items) def __repr__(self): return repr(self.items[:self.last+1]) def next(self): if self.last 0: raise StopIteration self.last -= 1 return self.items[self.last+1] def save(self, filename): pass # saves self.last and self.init_seed on disk samp = Sampler(abcdefghijklm) print samp print samp.next() print samp.next() print samp.next() That class code is raw, you may want to improve it in some ways.

Re: Database vs Data Structure?
My very humble opinion - based on several years of working experience with both the Zodb and many RDBMS - is quite clear : use a RDBMS and use it properly. Yes, somewhere down the line you will want to get a report of all the customers in Ohio, ordered by county and zip code, who have a rabbit cage project -- and if you just pickle everything you will end up traversing the entire database, possibly multiple times to find it.

Making Windows Larger in Tkinter
Thanks to some help I received on list the other day, I now have a very
nice windows-based application that implements multiple programs. This
is a very powerful tool. Now I am working to make this window pretty.
One problem I cannot find help on is how to make the windows a certain
size. For example, I have added in a root.title() with a lot of text in
the file example.py below.
Is it possible to make the window box a specific size, or by default,
always be large enough to show the entire text in root.title?
example.py
from Tkinter import *
import tkMessageBox
def callback():
print called the callback!
def message():
if tkMessageBox.askokcancel(Quit, Do you really wish to quit?):
root.destroy()
def about():
tkMessageBox.showinfo(About, Foo?)
root = Tk()
root.title('Hello World: How Can we see the entire title?')
# create a menu
menu = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menu)
filemenu = Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label=File, menu=filemenu)
filemenu.add_command(label=New, command=message)
filemenu.add_command(label=Open..., command=callback)
filemenu.add_separator()
filemenu.add_command(label=Exit, command=message)

Checking for unique fields: performance.
I'm looping through a tab-delimited file to gather statistics on fill rates, lengths, and uniqueness. For the uniqueness, I made a dictionary with keys which correspond to the field names. The values were originally lists, where I would store values found in that field. Once I detected a duplicate, I deleted the entire element from the dictionary. Any which remained by the end are considered unique. Also, if the value was empty, the dictionary element was deleted and that field considered not unique. A friend of mine suggested changing that dictionary of lists into a dictionary of dictionaries, for performance reasons. As it turns out, the speed increase was ridiculous -- a file which took 42 minutes to run dropped down to six seconds. Here is the excerpt of the bit of code which checks for uniqueness. It's fully functional, so I'm just looking for any suggestions for improving it or any comments. Note that fieldNames is a list containing all column headers. #check for unique values #if we are still tracking that field (we haven't yet #found a duplicate value). if fieldUnique.has_key(fieldNames[index]): #if the current value is a duplicate if fieldUnique[fieldNames[index]].has_key(value): #sys.stderr.write(Field %s is not unique. Found a duplicate value after checking %d values.\n % (fieldNames[index], lineNum)) #drop the whole hash element fieldUnique.__delitem__(fieldNames[index]) else: #add the new value to the list fieldUnique[fieldNames[index]][value] = 1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't see a problem with that; except that binaries come from

the ALU.
(ALU? Do you mean CPU?) I don't understand this. Most programs are read

I want to know if any, and correct me here, simple
modification can store live objects. I call a.append(it) and the
memory update takes place on disk instead.
Using ZODB, a.append(it) would mark `a` as dirty. When you latter commit
the transaction, it is stored back on disk.
If you require that all objects referenced by on-disk objects be on-
disk, that's an easy workaround.
ZODB already does that.
It's pretty close, but the database connection can get bulky. If you
had:
___

The accumulated cruft had gotten heavy, and was slowing python down. Py3K is deliberately conservative, so that the transition will be as painless as possible, but strips away the warts that were slowing things down. Having print as a statement meant it was difficult to add functionality there. Supporting both new and old style classes meant that you couldn't count on expected functionality in external libraries. The string/unicode dichotomy caused innumerable headaches for everybody. The big changes you are hoping for to justify py3k won't come in python 3.0. They'll come in python 3.2 and python 3.3. Of course, I'm well aware that I'm talking about vaporware, but making the architectural changes now to make that advancement possible in the future is the point of python 3.0.

Re: Another MySQL Images Question
There are several problems with your SQL, but not all of them would be
caught by the computer. Your SELECT statement is not parameterized.
This is a security problem. *Always* parameterize your variables. Your
UPDATE statement has an extraneous comma at the end, and it also has
quotes around the %ses that you don't need, because you already
parameterized that query. Your dbapi interface will provide appropriate
quoting for whatever type of data you pass it.

py3k concerns. An example
Why is the migration to py3k a concern? For example I have libraries which use string%dictionary substitution where the dictionary is actually an object which emulates a dictionary. The __getitem__ for the object can be very expensive and is only called when needed by the string substitution. In py3k string%dictionary is going away. Why? I have no idea. The replacement is a string.format(...) method which supports dictionary calling. string.format(**dictionary) But dictionary calling doesn't support dictionary emulation. So in the example below the substitution works but the call fails. === code class fdict(dict): def __getitem__(self, item): return got(+item+) def fn(**d): print d[boogie] if __name__==__main__: fd = fdict() print attempting string substitution with fake dictionary print print hello there %(boogie)s % fd # -- works print print now attempting function call with fake dictionary print fn(**fd) # -- fails === output % python2.6 dtest.py attempting string substitution with fake dictionary hello there got(boogie) now attempting function call with fake dictionary Traceback (most recent call last): File dtest.py, line 17, in module fn(**fd) File dtest.py, line 7, in fn print d[boogie] KeyError: 'boogie' end of output Consequently there is no simple way to translate my code, I think. I suspect you will find this kind of subtle issue in many places. Or worse, you won't find it until after your program has been installed in production. It's a damn shame because if string%dict was just left in it wouldn't be an issue. Also, if making f(**d) support dict emulation has any negative performance implications then I don't want it please. sigh. -- Aaron Watters === http://www.xfeedme.com/nucular/pydistro.py/go?FREETEXT=crack+open -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Mayb setuptools imports setup.py - but because of you having another one

setuptools? Only thing that helps is looking at sandbox.py, line 29.

Yo. http://code.google.com/p/python-safethread/ Sounds very interesting. I particularly liked this bit from the web page - an excellent solution to fine grained locking. Sending only immutable objects between threads is very like the functional approach used by Erlang which is extremely good at concurrency. Although superficially similar, the details of Erlang are actually pretty different. It copies all objects passed between threads - it was originally designed for fault tolerance (entire nodes going down), not concurrency. If you want a shared mutable object you need to use a process as one, treating it as an actor. Hopefully you can do most of it in a one-way, message driven style, as otherwise you're going to be transforming your synchronous calls into a series of callbacks. If you have a node farm, you want to upgrade it incrementally, and you want it to be fault tolerant (nodes go down at random without kill the whole thing), Erlang is much better than safethread. That's at a significant cost though, as it's only good at the one style. Safethread is much better at a style useful on a single desktop. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You declare objects as a class variable, so it is shared between every instance of the class.

On Fri, 2008-04-18 at 08:58 -0700, Aaron Watters wrote: Why is the migration to py3k a concern? For example I have libraries which use string%dictionary substitution where the dictionary is actually an object which emulates a dictionary. The __getitem__ for the object can be very expensive and is only called when needed by the string substitution. In py3k string%dictionary is going away. Why? I have no idea. The replacement is a string.format(...) method which supports dictionary calling. string.format(**dictionary) But dictionary calling doesn't support dictionary emulation. So in the example below the substitution works but the call fails. === code class fdict(dict): def __getitem__(self, item): return got(+item+) def fn(**d): print d[boogie] if __name__==__main__: fd = fdict() print attempting string substitution with fake dictionary print print hello there %(boogie)s % fd # -- works print print now attempting function call with fake dictionary print fn(**fd) # -- fails === output % python2.6 dtest.py attempting string substitution with fake dictionary hello there got(boogie) now attempting function call with fake dictionary Traceback (most recent call last): File dtest.py, line 17, in module fn(**fd) File dtest.py, line 7, in fn print d[boogie] KeyError: 'boogie' end of output Consequently there is no simple way to translate my code, I think. I suspect you will find this kind of subtle issue in many places. Or worse, you won't find it until after your program has been installed in production.

Do you really mean to tell me that string interpolation has been a major bottleneck for you? Now I think you're just whining because you like to hear yourself whine.

Several points worthy of note:
1) When you're dealing with Windows filenames, either make
the strings raw -- Open (rc:\trial.txt) -- or use the other
slashes =-- Open (c:/trial.xls).
2) You're not actually calling the Select and Delete
methods, merely referencing them. Try .Delete () etc.
3) You're saving the workbook every time round the loop,
but perhaps you knew that. Might prompt you everytime
as you're overwriting, but again, maybe you knew...

Re: Pickle problem
On Apr 18, 11:55 am, Mario Ceresa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello everybody: I'd like to use the pickle module to save the state of an object so to be able to restore it later. The problem is that it holds a list of other objects, say numbers, and if I modify the list and restore the object, the list itself is not reverted to the saved one, but stays with one element deleted. An example session is the following: Data is A [1, 2, 3, 4] saving a with pickle Deleting an object: del a[3] Now data is A [1, 2, 3] Oops! That was an error: can you please recover to the last saved data? A [1, 2, 3] I'd like to have here A[1,2,3,4]!! Is it the intended behavior for pickle? if so, are there any way to save the state of my object? Code follows --- class A(object): objects = [] --- then I run the code: --- import pickle from core import A a = A() for i in [1,2,3,4]: a.objects.append(i) savedData = pickle.dumps(a) print Saved data is ,a print Deleting an object del a.objects[3] print a print Oops! This was an error: can you please recover the last saved data? print pickle.loads(savedData) Thank you for any help! Mario The problem is that the way you define 'objects', it is an attribute of the A *class*, not the instance you create. Change the A class to: class A(object): def __init__(self): self.objects = [] and rerun it; it should now work as you intended. HTH, George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: py3k concerns. An example
Try coming up with a real standard for evaluation. How much of a performance hit will actually cause you trouble? 1% extra on string interpolation? 10%? 50%? 200%? You misread my comment. I don't want function calls to support dictionary emulation if there is a speed penalty because this is such a special case and function calls are so important. I don't really know, but I think fixing the above issue for string.format(...) might involve changing the representation of every python stack frame... not worth it in this case if there is any penalty (afaik there isn't). An alternative is to provide an alternate interface to string.format so that you could pass in an object which might emulate a dictionary, like string.formatDict(D) -- or you could even adopt a shortcut notation like string % D -- hey there's an idea! -- Aaron Watters === http://www.xfeedme.com/nucular/pydistro.py/go?FREETEXT=ignore+warnings -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Python 2.5 adoption
How widely adopted is python 2.5? We are doing some development, and have a choice to make: a) Use all the 2.5 features we want. b) Maintain backwards compatability with 2.4.

Re: Request a short code review
Thank you all for posting insightful and useful comments. Here is what I have based on your input: def output_random_lesson_of_type(self, lesson_type=None): Output a lesson of a specific type. If no type is passed in then output all types. lessons = self.lesson_data[lessons] if lesson_type: lessons = [x for x in lessons if x[type] == lesson_type] rand_lesson = choice(lessons) inputs = self.create_lesson_inputs(rand_lesson) print rand_lesson[output] % inputs return rand_lesson, inputs Changes: - generator expression instead of filter - removed keyword 'type' in favor of lesson_type - wrap to 78 columns - remove error-check -- allow it to fail in the choice statement. I've decided to make a valid lesson_type an invariant anyway so the appropriate thing would be an assert - but I'll settle for a throw from choice if it receives an empty list - moved self.output_random logic into this function The lesson data is loaded from YAML which explains why it is inside a dictionary instead of a class. I am currently exploring ways to allow me to easily switch my data providers between SQLAlchemy and YAML. Cheers again. This is very valuable for me. I am a true believer that if one takes care in the smallest of methods then the larger code- base will be all the better. James. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you're distributing the software, you can just freeze it and make binaries and then it doesn't matter. Or if you use Python at your business, you can do what we do at my workplace: Put Python on the network and run all the scripts from there. Currently, we have 2.4 on our network, but I think we can upgrade it to 2.5 without breaking anything. I develop in 2.5 and just put the finished products on our network and they usually just work. But I have yet to find good use cases for some of the cool whizz-bang extras of 2.5, so I haven't pushed for the network upgrade. I hope to figure out when, where and how to use generators and decorators at some point, but I just haven't gotten that far a long yet, I guess.

Python Logging question
I am new to Python and I am trying to understand how to utilize the
RotatingFileHandler to rollover
when the file gets to a certain size. I followed some examples that I have
found for setting the size and
the number of files. However, I am finding that when the log file gets close
to the threshold I start getting
errors in the handlers.py file saying the file is closed.
I am using Python 2.5 on Windows.
Is this a problem others have seen?
Is this a handler that is widely used or is there a better one that is
generally used?
The error that I am receiving is shown below.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File C:\Python25\Lib\logging\handlers.py, line 73, in emit
if self.shouldRollover(record):
File C:\Python25\Lib\logging\handlers.py, line 147, in shouldRollover
self.stream.seek(0, 2) #due to non-posix-compliant Windows feature
ValueError: I/O operation on closed file
My configuration file is setup as such:
[handler_file_detailed]
class:handlers.RotatingFileHandler
level:DEBUG
formatter:detailed
mode=a
maxsize=400
backcount=5
args:('python.log','a',400,5)
I would appreciate any feedback on this subject.
