Graphical nodes
Hi everyone Please could someone tell me of any libraries that you could use to make use of graphical nodes in python. Each node would hold data and properties. I am trying to achieve a similar effect, as in the application spoken about below. If you have seen an application called Nuke, by the foundry, you will see what I mean. It uses graphical nodes such as rectangles etc (similar to UML) to link operations on images together with arrows etc. I know that Nuke is made using the Qt toolkit, so maybe someone could tell me what classes were probably used to make this node based interface. Maybe the QGraphicsItem and QGraphicsScene classes? It looks cool so if anyone has any ideas on how to do something like this, it would be great.

A module doesn't generally import itself, but it's an easy mistake for a circular dependency to develop among modules. Circular imports are always a difficulty. That has nothing to do with making modules executable as scripts. I was mainly making the point that while self-importing would be rare, circular imports probably crop up fairly often. Circular imports are (nearly always) a design flaw. But until you made me think about it, I would have said that they are safe in CPython as long as all imports are at the top of the file. And as long as the script isn't part of the dependency loop. Thanks for the word always above; in trying to refute it, I thought hard enough to realize you're right. And what's better, realized it before hitting SEND. I would still say that the bugs caused in circular imports are relatively easy to spot, while the ones caused by importing the script can be quite painful to discover, if you aren't practiced at looking for them. And my practice is to keep the two separate, only using a module as a script when testing that module. The only time I've run into the problem of the dual loading of the script was in a simple program I copy-pasted from the wxPython demo code. That demo had a common module (shell) which each individual demo imported. But if you ran that common module as a script, it interactively let you choose which demo to import.

Re: Combining python and sqlite DB into a single, executeable.
tcumming...@gmail.com wrote: The problem, is that I need the python app and the sqlite db file to exist in the same disk file. This way the app to access the data and the data are in the same file. For binaries this is possible with a little hackery. Firstly you need make the app be a zip file. The good news is that zip files store their information at the end while executables store their information at the beginning. This is how self extracting zips work - they are the extractor program followed by the zip data. You can store the sqlite database in the zip portion. Copy it out to a tempfile while running and put it back in when done and saving. The tempfile module will help with temporary files. The zipfile module works quite happily with zip files prepended with extra stuff. To get started make a zip file with dummy contents (for example a readme explaining that mail is stored within). Assuming your app is called mail.exe and the zip file is called mail.zip you just concatenate them. py2exe and several other programs can make an executable out of a Python script for you. However in some cases they use this same 'trick' of an appended zip file to store the python code so you could also just modify that. If your app is a python script and you want to distribute it that way then you can make a zip file of the python script and then you have to run it by setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point at the zip file. Note that once you try this you may find the operating system and/or python not being too happy about modifying what they are executing. If you are feeling really adventurous there may even be a way of following the script with the data. This is used in Unix shell scripting but the Unix shell doesn't check the whole file is syntactically correct so you can append any binary junk you want. For Python you could try something like 8 #! python python code python code SOMESPECIALMARKER sqlite file contents 8 You'd have to do some escaping of the contents or maybe just base64 encode it.

There are two basic types of sorts: comparison based, where the routine has to compare items (usually with the operator), and non-comparison sorts, like bucket sort, pigeon-hole sort and radix sort. These sorts require special knowledge of the items being sorted, and don't need to compare two items. General purpose sorts like Python's sort() do, regardless of whether you pass a key function, a three-way comparison function, or something else. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
how to use WSGI applications with apache
Hi folks, I'm not quite sure where to ask this, but this is my closest guess. I've written a web service based on the newf micro-framework and it uses wsgiref.simple_server. I'm noticing that it's not returning response codes properly (after fixing a bug in newf). Instead, it just closes the TCP connection silently. I am assuming that I need to run it with a more sophisticated server, and I eventually want to run it under apache, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Someone once showed me how, and it was a simple line in the apache config. But I can't figure it out how to do again.

Internationalized To:'s and Cc:'s
Hello! How should I correctly construct internationalized base64'ed MIME header? The problem is that 'real name' _should_ be encoded, but the email address - should not. For example, ?utf-8?bla-bla=?= em...@domain should be the correct format, and ?utf-8?bla-bla-bla-bla=?= - incorrect. But email.Header encodes full text including address, and then local mail server append's local domain name as it is not found in encoded header in plain form. I could manually base64 encode real name, append address, put it in header without encoding, but is there any more suitable way doing it?

Re: unittest.TestCase and functools.partial don't seem to mix

Hi List,
I want to make some test case classes that can have some data passed in
to modify the way they behave. I can't see a straightforward manner to
pass data to an __init__() method of a class derived from
unittest.TestCase, or to pass data to a test function within that
class. Being a C++ guy, I thought If only Python had something
equivalent to boost::bind, I'd be fine, and then I discovered
functools.partial. I found a post showing how to create classes using
partial, and I thought I was good to go. The post I found is here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/bangpypers/2008-December/000974.html
So I adapted that code to see if it worked in the context of unittest.
When I run the code, it acts like the parameter I provided with partial
isn't even there. Any ideas?
#!/usr/bin/python

import unittest
class GenericWindow:
def __init__(self, name, width, height, color='white'):
print('Name: %s, width: %d, height: %d, color: %s' % (name, width,
height, color))
class TestGenericWindow(unittest.TestCase):
def __init__(self, methodName, color):
unittest.TestCase.__init__(self, methodName)
print('color: %s' % color)
self.color = color
def testit():
GenericWindow('foo', width=100, height=100, color=self.color)
def suite():
s = unittest.Suite()
BrownWindowTest = functools.partial(TestGenericWindow, color='brown')
BlueWindowTest = functools.partial(TestGenericWindow, color='blue')
GreenWindowTest = functools.partial(TestGenericWindow, color='green')
s.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(BrownWindowTest))
s.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(BlueWindowTest))
s.addTest(unittest.makeSuite(GreenWindowTest))
return s

unittest.main()
That code gives the following:

return self.suiteClass(map(testCaseClass, testCaseNames))

Thanks for having a look,

By default unittest.main() looks for subclasses of unittest.TestCase and
generates test cases for every method that starts with test. From that
point of view suite() is just an ordinary function and will not even be
called. There are a lot more problems with your code that suggest that you
should carefully read the unittest documentation, and maybe even have a look
at its source code.
Here's what became of your code when I tried to make it run:
import unittest
class GenericWindow:
def __init__(self, name, width, height, color='white'):
print('Name: %s, width: %d, height: %d, color: %s' % (name, width,
height, color))
class TestGenericWindow(unittest.TestCase):
def __init__(self, methodName, color):
unittest.TestCase.__init__(self, methodName)
print('color: %s' % color)
self.color = color
def testit(self):
GenericWindow('foo', width=100, height=100, color=self.color)
def suite():
return unittest.TestSuite([
TestGenericWindow(testit, color=brown),
TestGenericWindow(testit, color='blue'),
TestGenericWindow(testit, color='green'),
])

Re: del an imported Class at EOF... why?
Thanks everyone for your insight. I'm going to have to agree with the paranoid desire to prevent people importing his module and then using the classes he imports from elsewhere (I'm not ruling out the lead paint theory until I can gather more evidence). It does beg the question for me. Consider the example from his code below from PyQt4 import QtGui class LauncherWidget( QtGui.QWidget ): # A Specialization of QWidget del QtGui Next time python comes across from PyQt4 import QtGui it would have to re-import the class, which seems a waste of cycles that could accumulate. In this situation, the use of __all__ is better. Plus, by using __all__ instead of del you do not have to worry about forgetting to del a class.

Re: del an imported Class at EOF... why?
On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 2:31 AM, Ryan heni...@yahoo.com wrote: Next time python comes across from PyQt4 import QtGui it would have to re-import the class, which seems a waste of cycles that could accumulate. Python only imports modules once. The next time Python comes across that, it looks in sys.modules, sees a copy of PyQt4, and just adds a reference to the class in the existing already-loaded module. All 'del PyQt4' does is deletes a reference to that module from the local namespace. It doesn't actually delete the module or cause it to be destroyed or cleaned up, as there's always at least one additional reference to all modules in the sys.modules dictionary. There's no re-importing. In this situation, the use of __all__ is better. Plus, by using __all__ instead of del you do not have to worry about forgetting to del a class. IMHO, __all__ is almost always better because of its explicitness if you care about the API/modules/classes exposed from this module. del PyQt4 at the end of the file is completely harmless, though. It won't actually affect anything. --S -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
data matrix python
Good morning all! I am trying to build a data matrix, but I am not able either to write to file with a proper structure nor to get the data from the matrix. I want to sort some music by similarity content, and I just have the indexes of the playlist like this: dm = numpy.array(songs) [0 4 2 1 3] [1 2 0 4 3] [2 1 0 4 3] [3 2 1 0 4] [4 0 1 2 3] Now, I want to keep the same format but with the names of the songs, something like this: Sort_dm.append(songlist(dm)) ['100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3' '10005.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3' '10006.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3' '10006.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '100.mp3\n' '10008.mp3' '10008.mp3' '100.mp3\n' '10001.mp3\n' '10005.mp3\n' '10006.mp3\n'] But there is no way either I can access to the data... because there are strings, or save them in matrix format!

AES decrypting in Python
Hi, I am working on a project where I need to decrypt some data that has been encrypted with AES. It looks like M2Crypto is the module of choice for these sorts of things, but I cannot figure out how to do this stuff from the docs. I have the following PHP code that needs to be translated into Python: $iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB); $iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND); return rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $data,MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv),\0); I can't find a method in M2Crypto that gets the initialization vector size. I found the right method in the tests, which appears to be EVP.Cipher. So I would assume, I would need to do something like: EVP.Cipher(alg=aes_256_ecb, key=SomeKey, iv=SomeIV, op=dec, padding=False) I don't really see where I pass the data that needs the decrypting though. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks, Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Q: sort's key and cmp parameters
Hrvoje Niksic: Note that stable sort has additional memory requirements. In situations where you don't need stability, but do need memory-efficient in-place sorting, an unstable sort might well be preferred. This is why libraries such as C++'s STL offer both. There are stable sorts that need no additional memory. In a largish program written in a general-purpose multi-level language, like D (this is probably true for C++ too), often 80% of the code takes a very little time to run. Such code may need to process few small arrays, or small data sets, or to manage the GUI, etc. So optimizing those parts of the code for performance (both in memory used and CPU cycles used) is stupid. What you want in such large parts of the code is: - to write code quickly - to have code that's short, readable, easy to fix, and most important of all that is the less bug-prone as possible. So what you need in such large parts of the code is something that's very flexible and safe, even if it's not top performance (both in memory and CPU). This is why for example in D there are built-in associative arrays, that have a handy syntax, built-in methods, and they are never O(n^2), even if they are not the most efficient ones where you need max performance, or where you need minimal memory used, or where you need to perform unusual operations. Such built-ins are useful to reduce both code length and bug count, because they are quite safe and easy to use. Stable sorts are a little safer, because they don't scramble your data in certain ways, so they can be used in more situations. This is why having the Timsort in Python is good. When you run profile the D code and you see your program uses too much RAM or wastes too much time in the built-in sort, then you can switch to using special sorts from the std lib. You can even write your own hash or sort for special situations (and you don't have to drop down to use another language for that, you keep using the same, even if you may want to change your programming stile, and use a more C-like style, with no dynamic allocations, some bit twidding, pointers, more structs, 16 bit integers, unsigned integers, unions, compiler intrinsics, even inlined assembly that uses SSE3, etc). In normal code you may want to adopt a more Java-like programming style, or templates, or even using a large library I have written, you may program it almost as a curious Python-like, with lazyness too. This is why I think the built-in sort has to be flexible, because you are supposed to use it most of the times, and most of the times you don't need top performance. Different parts of a program have to be optimized for different things, computer performance, or programmer performance. Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Looking at the output, it seems the reason for this (for me) is that
Firefox can't find the image or any alt text for it, so it's just using

You could of course do it like this: class MyOtherType(type): def __new__(class_, name, bases, dct): result = type.__new__(class_, name, bases, dct) result()._init_class() return result class OtherClassBase(object): __metaclass__ = MyOtherType def _init_class(self): print 'initializing class' class Initialized(OtherClassBase): def _init_class(self): self.__class__.a, self.__class__.b = 1, 2 super(Initialized, self)._init_class() This code is a problem because the point of this exercise is to do initialization _before_ building an instance (think of building tables used in __init__). Before you decide that super should simply check if the second arg to super is a subclass of the first arg, and operate differently in that case (as my first code naively did), realize there is a problem. I saw the problem in trying the code, and simply tacked in the proper parent call and ran off to work. Think about the fact that classes are now objects as well; a class itself has a class (type or in these classes MyType or MyOtherType) with its own needs for super, and the combination would be a mess. I'm certain you'd get inadvertent switches across the two subtype hierarchies, but that belief may just be my fear of the inevitable testing and debugging issues such an implementation would require. --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This way, I can see if there is remaining or lacking elements in my second tree. The problem is that my two trees may not have the same namespace, so the Element.remove() function doesn't work.

Re: Multiprocessing.Queue deadlock
Felix wrote:
Hello,
I keep running into a deadlock in a fairly simple parallel script
using Multiprocessing.Queue for sending tasks and receiving results.
From the documentation I cannot figure out what is happening and none
of the examples seem to cover quite what I am doing. The main code is
results = mp.Queue()
tasks = mp.JoinableQueue()
tasks.put( (0,0) )
procs = [ mp.Process(target=work, args=(tasks, results)) for i in range
(nprocs)]
for p in procs:
p.daemon = True
p.start()
tasks.join()
for i in range(nprocs): tasks.put('STOP')
for p in procs: p.join()
res=[]
while 1:
try:
res.append(res.get(False))
except Empty: break
The function 'work' both consumes tasks adding the results to the
output queue and adds new tasks to the input queue based on its
result.
def work(tasks, results):
for task in iter(tasks.get, 'STOP'):
res = calc(*task)
if res:
results.put(res)
tasks.put((task[0], res[1]))
tasks.put((res[0],task[1]))
queue.task_done()
This program will hang while the main process joins the workers (after
all results are computed, i.e. after tasks.join() ). The workers have
finished function 'work', but have not terminated yet.
Calling results.cancel_join_thread as a last line in 'work' prevents
the deadlocks, as does terminating the workers directly. However I am
not sure why that would be needed and if it might not make me loose
results.
It seems to be the workers cannot finish pusing buffered results into
the output queue when calling 'results.join_thread' while terminating,
but why is that? I tried calling 'results.close()' before joining the
workers in the main process, but it does not make a difference.
Is there something I am understanding wrong about the interface? Is
there a much better way to do what I am trying to do above?
It think it's down to the difference between multithreading and
multiprocessing.
When multithreading, the threads share the same address space, so items
can be passed between the threads directly.
However, when multiprocessing, the processes don't share the same
address space, so items need to be passed from process to process via a
pipe. Unfortunately, the pipe has a limited capacity, so if a process
doesn't read from one end then the pipe will eventually fill up and the
sender will block. Also, a process won't terminate until it has finished
writing to the pipe, and it can't be joined until it has terminated.
You can therefore get into a deadlock where:
* Process A won't read from the queue until it has joined process B.
* The join won't succeed until process B has terminated.
* Process B won't terminate until it has finished writing to the queue.
* Process B can't finish writing to the queue because it's full.
* The queue is full because process A isn't reading from it.

If you're confident that the data is correct and hasn't been corrupted,
then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Perhaps you could try transmitting it as
base64, which might make it more robust in transmission and easier to
decode and find errors locally? You'd just need to change the end of your

print '''Content-Type: image/jpeg

You can therefore get into a deadlock where:

* The join won't succeed until process B has terminated.
* Process B won't terminate until it has finished writing to the queue.
* Process B can't finish writing to the queue because it's full.
* The queue is full because process A isn't reading from it.
I thought about that, but it seemed unlikely since I am not generating
too many results (a few thousand small touples of int). Also I tried
to deal with it by reading as many results form the queue as were
available, then joining the workers, then reading again. This did not
work reliably, maybe because the queue would fill up again while I
start joining the individual workers.
In any case the core of the problem is the following:
A bunch of workers push an unknown number of results into a queue. The
main process needs to collect all those results.
What is the right way to implement that with multiprocessing? I tried
joining the workers and then reading everything available, but
obviously (see above) that does not seem to work.
A dirty trick that works would be reading all results slowly and
assuming no more results are comming after the queue is empty, but
this is obviously unstable:
while 1:
try:
res.append(results.get(True,LONG_TIMEOUT))
except Empty:
break
It could be made somewhat better by joining the workers afterwards and
reading again, but another deadlock might happen.
What I am doing now is having the workers push a DONE flag on the
result queue when they end and reading results until all DONE flags
have arrived:
def work(tasks, results):
for task in iter(tasks.get, 'STOP'):
res = calc(*task)
if res:
results.put(res)
tasks.put((task[0], res[1]))
tasks.put((res[0],task[1]))
queue.task_done()
results.put('DONE')
And in main:
res = []
for i in range(opts.nprocs):
res += list(iter(results.get,'DONE'))
for p in procs:
p.join()
This seems to work, and as long as workers push data to the results
queue in the same order as the puts happen in each process (is this
guaranteed?) it should be stable. But is it the best/easiest way to do
this?

Re: best vi / emacs python features
One feature I have that emacs don't is that I'm able to efficiently edit a file on a remote machine with vim on a terminal (without graphical interface), and I'm using it. Apart from that, both solutions are emacs has the same efficiency on a terminal. or maybe I don't understand your sentence. Perhaps this is a reference to the alt/meta/control/buckey/super key-chords that emacs is infamous for using that don't always get reliably transmitted by all terminal-emulation programs and consoles. It was one of my nudging factors towards vi (and later vim), because I occasionally used some terminal software in which alt or shift+control+alt (and other such combinations) weren't detected. Never had that problem with vi/vim. And when all else fails, I can usually fall back to ed in a pinch ;-) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you're confident that the data is correct and hasn't been corrupted,
then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Perhaps you could try transmitting it as
base64, which might make it more robust in transmission and easier to decode
and find errors locally? You'd just need to change the end of your script to
read:
print '''Content-Type: image/jpeg

Looking at the output, it seems the reason for this (for me) is that
Firefox can't find the image or any alt text for it, so it's just using
the
image URL. Are you certain the image data (i.e. the 'content' string) is

I even changed the image/jpeg to text/html to see if the image would
print out the binary, and it did, so I'm calling the image correctly, just
not rendering the binary as an image.

Re: Combining python and sqlite DB into a single, executeable.
Thanks!, but I already thought of your suggestion. I've already gotten the clear impression that the amount of work to implement this is more than the ROI. Having said that, it might work if on exiting the app could re-zip itself. One _big_ problem with zip files or compiled python executables is moving the file from machine to machine. It wouldn't be platform independent anymore. What I like best so far, is to have something like: #!/usr/bin/env python Here lies python, boot code that connects to the sqlite db that pulls from a known sqlite table a blob that is the actual application and executes it. The boot code size must always be less than some size. Convince the python parser not to go here... fillter bytes to the sqlite database offset. sqlite database data End of File. Now the trick is to get the sqlite library to start looking for the sqlite database at, offset. Roger Binns wrote: tcumming...@gmail.com wrote: The problem, is that I need the python app and the sqlite db file to exist in the same disk file. This way the app to access the data and the data are in the same file. For binaries this is possible with a little hackery. Firstly you need make the app be a zip file. The good news is that zip files store their information at the end while executables store their information at the beginning. This is how self extracting zips work - they are the extractor program followed by the zip data. You can store the sqlite database in the zip portion. Copy it out to a tempfile while running and put it back in when done and saving. The tempfile module will help with temporary files. The zipfile module works quite happily with zip files prepended with extra stuff. To get started make a zip file with dummy contents (for example a readme explaining that mail is stored within). Assuming your app is called mail.exe and the zip file is called mail.zip you just concatenate them. py2exe and several other programs can make an executable out of a Python script for you. However in some cases they use this same 'trick' of an appended zip file to store the python code so you could also just modify that. If your app is a python script and you want to distribute it that way then you can make a zip file of the python script and then you have to run it by setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point at the zip file. Note that once you try this you may find the operating system and/or python not being too happy about modifying what they are executing. If you are feeling really adventurous there may even be a way of following the script with the data. This is used in Unix shell scripting but the Unix shell doesn't check the whole file is syntactically correct so you can append any binary junk you want. For Python you could try something like 8 #! python python code python code SOMESPECIALMARKER sqlite file contents 8 You'd have to do some escaping of the contents or maybe just base64 encode it.

Hopefully the 'crap' you're getting is the base64-encoded representation
of your binary image -- you should be able to use Python to decode that,
and then use any image viewer to verify that the JPEG is sound.

It's wasted effort. Python isn't really designed to have totally
clean namespaces. A base class can be deleted at the end of a module
because it's only used while the module is being imported, but lots of
other symbols can't. You can't delete any global that's used in a
function, that means most imported modules or functions have to remain
in the module's namespace, and usually there are a lot more of them
than there are deletable base classes.
Given that you can't generally have an externally clean namespace, why
put forth such effort just to delete one or two names?
The right thing to do is to advertise which symbols are external with
__all__ (or, as judgment call, to use leading underscore on all
internal symbols).
There are some tricks you could use to keep __all__ up-to-date, for
instance you can use this idiom to automatically add anything defined
between two points to __all__ (though it can be subject to name
clashing):
## do all your imports here
_internals = set(globals())
## define all your functions/classes/constants here
_allnames = set(globals())
__all__ = list(x for x in _allnames-_internals
if not x.startswith('_'))
del _internals, _allnames

One _big_ problem with zip files or compiled python executables is moving the file from machine to machine. It wouldn't be platform independent anymore. You are the one who mentioned executables which generally means platform specific binaries (and in the vast majority of cases that platform is Windows) :-) Being an executable means you don't have to care if Python is already installed. If you want it platform independent then you are stuck with Python text scripts. You can put one in a zip file and use PYTHONPATH or you can use the approach I showed at the bottom of my original message. What I like best so far, is to have something like: You pretty much outlined what I wrote at the bottom of my message. Convince the python parser not to go here... You can't do that. The entire source file has to be valid Python. You can get Python to not take action on parts by making it a multi-line string you do nothing with (ie surround with ) or by prefixing each line with # to make it a comment. I'd recommend a string at the end with base64 encoded contents. This would be very few lines of code to maintain along with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile and atexit. My estimate is a total of 10-20 lines of code. Now the trick is to get the sqlite library to start looking for the sqlite database at, offset. You cannot use the standard SQLite API to do that. SQLite does have a way of writing custom file access (known as VFS) that could do it and the APSW SQLite Python wrapper provides that functionality. See http://apsw.googlecode.com/svn/publish/vfs.html (Disclaimer: I am the author of APSW). However writing a VFS is *way* more work than something simple to extract data from the end of a script to a temporary file and put the data back at exit.

When you call from PyQt4 import QtGui, Python loads the module PyQt4, caches the module in sys.modules, and then adds PyQt4.QtGui into the current namespace (your module).

Re: best vi / emacs python features
I typically use several editors: /bin/ed, nvi, EDIT.COM, and Vi Improved. These are the advantages that I find these various editors give me: ed -- I can quickly edit files without having to wait on an ncurses app to start up. Although I rarely have access to GNU versions of ed, they use readline which is a big perk when you make a typo. nvi -- smaller and faster then vim, works great over slow ssh links or when editing huge files. I like nvi over the original vi, because most of the limitations of the old-school vi are removed; unlimited undo is the best feature added. EDIT.COM -- much faster then notepad over remote connections, and it understands both DOS and UNIX end of lines; meaning I can skip converting formats, the only downside is it's still a 16-bit program. vim -- My favourite and most used editor. I like it because it can be made fairly compatible with vi, but has superior tag stack handling, and the multiple-window, :ex command line history, and completion features leave their nvi equivalents in the dust. (vi had no completion or command history, and lacked split windows.) Vim also has improved register handling, regular expression support, tab pages for organizing workspaces, a client/server mode, and most importantly can be made to adapt itself (e.g. spaces, tabs, eol's) based on file type without much bother. That makes it much easier to use with Python files then most editors in my tool bag. I am a freak: I do not use nor want syntax highlighting. I don't want my editor to understand mail, irc, or the www either, I want it to edit text efficiently so I can go on with the rest of my life as soon as possible. Given the choice of using a space cadets editor like emacs or something primitive one like ed, I would choose *ed* just to speed things up and save on wrist strain. Before I read a tutorial about vi, I used XEmacs very happily---vi just lines up better with how my brain works. -- It is also general consensus that I am nuts ;) TerryP. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: AES decrypting in Python

Can someone shed some light on this? Look at test_AES method in http://svn.osafoundation.org/m2crypto/trunk/tests/test_evp.py Basically EVP.Cipher returns the cipher object. You call the update update(data) method on it (you can call this many times if you have lots of data), which returns (possibly partial) result and finally call the final() method to finish, which will return the last piece of the decrypted data. You might also want to take a look at m2secret[1] which is a small library/utility built on top of M2Crypto to encrypt/decrypt stuff. By default it uses AES.
