pyexiv2 0.3.0 released
Hello Python users and developers, I'm pleased to announce that pyexiv2 0.3.0 [1], codename A Good Year, was released today. pyexiv2 is a python binding to exiv2 [2], the C++ library for manipulation of EXIF, IPTC and XMP image metadata. It is a python module that allows your python scripts to read *and* write metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, thumbnails) embedded in image files (JPEG, TIFF, ...). It is designed as a high-level interface to the functionalities offered by libexiv2. Using python's built-in data types and standard modules, it provides easy manipulation of image metadata. This series remains fully backward compatible with its predecessor, the 0.2 series, which should ease the transition away from the antiquated 0.1 series. The highlights of this release are: - Compiles and tested (on linux and windows) against libexiv2 0.19, 0.20, 0.21 - ImageMetadata implements the collections.MutableMapping interface - Consistent API across all types of tags to access the value(s) - Read/write access to the EXIF thumbnail - Decode and encode EXIF comments according to the specified charset - API to (un)register custom XMP namespaces - API to get, set and delete the (optional) IPTC charset - Added pickling support to tags - Use fractions.Fraction when available in the standard library (Python ≥ 2.6) Feedback, suggestions and bug reports are welcome at https://launchpad.net/pyexiv2.

decorator 3.3 is out
Thanks to the holiday period I found the time to add to the decorator module a long-awaited feature, the ability to understand and to preserve Python 3 function annotations. I have just released version 3.3 which implements such feature. It should be considered at an experimental stage. If you use Python 3 and function annotations you may want to try out the new decorator module (easy_install decorator) and give me feedback. See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/decorator for more. Thanks for your time and Happy New Year to all fellows Pythonistas!

How to port bytes formatting to Python 3.x ?
Hi, I'm trying to port a small library to Python 3.x, and I'm wondering what is the best way to port statements such as the one belows that are frequently found in network protocol implementation: headerparts = (%s:%s\n % (key, value) for key, value in headers.iteritems()) framebytes = %s\n%s\n%s\x00 % (command, .join(headerparts), body) Where all manipulated string are actually bytes, though value in headers dict may be any objects.

How to define a bytes literal in Python 2.x for porting to Python 3.x using 2to3?
Hi, I'm trying to port some network protocol library to Python 3.x, and it defines many bytes literals as plain string. How do you define bytes literals so that the library can be ported to Python 3.x using only 2to3? For example: In python 2.x, I need: self.buffer = '\n' In python 3.x, I need: self.buffer = b'\n' Is there a way to mark string literals so that 2to3 automatically prefixes them with 'b'? Is there a simpler trick? Baptiste. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Interesting bug
Dear Group, Hope all of you are fine and spending nice new year evenings. I get a bug in Python over the last 4 years or so, since I am using it. The language is superb, no doubt about it. It helped me finish many a projects, with extraordinary accuracy. But long since, I was getting an interesting bug. In the initial days, I thought it may be my learning error or usability error. It comes every now and then. The bug is suppose I am calling a library or using some logical operator, it works fine initially but if I want to copy the code to some other modules, same line of codes do not run at all. The remedy I do is, (a) I take the code from file and test it in GUI, more astonishingly in 99% of the cases I found the code llines, are correct. Then I apply a brute force technique I rewrite the whole code again. For small codes this technique is okay, but if I write mammoth code, and all on a sudden some interesting behavior came out, well it really feels bad. I keep now a days some time out that I have to do this, but is there any definite solution? I believe there is some, as I do not know them, as it happens, unnecessarily get upset. I use Python on WinXP service pack2, I started to use Python2.5.1, and now I am using Python2.6.5, IDLE as GUI. Best Regards, Subhabrata -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

On Dec 31 2010, 8:47 am, Adam Skutt ask...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, at this point i am not going to respond to the last few posts that where directed at me. What i am going to do is to restate my intentions at the time i started this thread. First and foremost i want everyone to know that i have tons of GUI code that utilizes the Tkinter module and feel very confident crating GUI's with Tkinter. I am not some novice who tried to write up a hello world GUI, got aggravated, and then decided to vent about it. Quite to the contrary... I actually like Tkinter's simplistic API. I especially love Tkinter geometry management! However i realize that TclTk is lacking and because of that fact we will always be at the mercy of another community. This bothers me, and it should also bother you. Tk has a glass ceiling that cannot be broken by you, or me, or anyone in the Python community. If we are to have a GUI library it should be one that is up to date and feature rich. In the latter case there may still be a glass ceiling but it is so high they we will never notice anyway! However be aware that GUI's libraries are large beasts. You cannot cram everything into the stdlib. So what should go into the stdlib then? Well only a very limited subset of widgets. Some might say that you will be limited with a limited subset, well i must agree with argument :). Some might also say that a glass half full is also half empty, duh! Everyone needs to realize that the only reason for having ANY GUI in the Python stdlib is for ease of learning and also for batteries included. We just want the basics of a GUI with an extension library available for download. There are two major advantages to this setup... 1. The basics never change. So the Python stdlib GUI module becomes a set it and forget it module. The Python GUI extension library can change all it wants and Python remain backwards compatible. 2. By relegating the bloat to an external download the stdlib is kept as small as possible. ... These two talking points are the main idea behind this whole damn discussion i initiated. We need to look beyond our own selfish needs and think about the community first. Anyone who truly cares about Python's stability and future will agree with these two points. I'll repeat... TclTk has had a whole decade to become a 21st century GUI library. I really don't think the motivation is there. Some will argue that ttk brings in the new widgets necessary to compete with a full featured GUI like wxPython -- and they could not be more wrong! There is no real Tk::Grid. Sure as someone suggested you can mimic a grid with another widget, it's just lipstick on a pig really. Go and check out the wx::Grid with all its wonderful capabilities and then you shall be enlightened! This is also no real support for a true Listview widget. Again go check out wx::ListView with all it's capabilities and ye shall be further enlightened. Wx is by far the best choice for Python. A small subset of wx widgets in the stdlib and ONE (and only one!) downloadable extension library. Yes the stdlib widgets are only going to cover the most minimal of GUIs -- for learning purposes, utilities, or just simply toys) If you plan to do professional GUI work than package the extension library. It's very simple really. Geesh! Now i know how the early scientist felt when trying to convince the lemmings that the earth is not flat! Flatearther said: You heritic!.

To support older Python versions, you need to write your own wrapper functions for bytes literals that do nothing in Python 2 and convert the literal back to a bytes literal in Python 3. That's ugly, but there's no other way to do it. I think the developers expected that most maintained and updated 2.x code, especially code targeted at 3.x also, would be migrated to 2.6+. Unfortunately, that assumption has hurt Python 3 migration significantly. It gave the impression that, as long as you need to support Python 2.5 and earlier, there is no way you could possibly support Python 3 as well, and that, therefore, starting to support Python 3 is pointless for many years to come. I personally never shared that assumption, and encourage people to ignore these gimmicks that had been added to 2.6 to ease porting. Instead, people should first determine what Python versions their users want to see supported, and then look for solutions that cover all these versions. In the case of byte literals, the solution is fairly straight-forward, and only moderately ugly. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I personally never shared that assumption, and encourage people to ignore these gimmicks that had been added to 2.6 to ease porting. Instead, people should first determine what Python versions their users want to see supported, and then look for solutions that cover all these versions. You have shown that it is easier than some people thought. I think two key ideas are these. 1. Code running in multiple versions has to be syntactically correct in every detail all versions in order to be compiled without error. However, version specific syntax *can* be used in modules that are conditionally imported and therefore conditionally compiled and executed. 2. The syntax of function calls has hardly changed and using the common subset is no limitation for the overwhelming majority of uses. Moreover, function names can be conditionally bound to version-specific function objects, whether builtin or imported. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: How to define a bytes literal in Python 2.x for porting to Python 3.x using 2to3?
1. Code running in multiple versions has to be syntactically correct in every detail all versions in order to be compiled without error. However, version specific syntax *can* be used in modules that are conditionally imported and therefore conditionally compiled and executed. I also encourage people to use 2to3. Then this requirement (must be syntactically correct in all Python versions) goes away: it is ok to write source that doesn't compile on Python 3, and still *run* it on Python 3. OTOH, writing code that only supports newer 2.x versions isn't helped by 2to3, so compatibility within 2.x is more important to consider than compatibility between 2.x and 3.x.

However i realize that TclTk is lacking and because of that fact we will always be at the mercy of another community. This bothers me, and it should also bother you. It's true of any widget library out there. It's inescapable. Python bindings to the native widgets are still at the mercy of MS and Apple (and GTK+ or Qt, whomever you pick for UNIX ). We've seen how much Apple cares about 3rd-party developers, and while MS at least cares, you never know when or how they'll implement something. Look at the mess with the ribbon, for example. There's the Office version, an MFC/ Win32/COM version, and a WPF version. Not only do all three have slightly different APIs, they all behave slightly differently too w.r.t the end-user. Even a pure python GUI library cannot get rid of this problem entirely. Witness that Xlib is (slowly) being deprecated for XCB[1]. It's possible, though unlikely, that MS will eventually stop providing new functionality through Win32 and/or make radical changes. It's also possible, though unlikely, that Apple will eventually pull another stunt on the level of deprecating Carbon and rip apart Quartz. Any of those changes would require drastic implementation changes on the part of the python GUI library. It's inescapable, so it's generally best not to worry about it. However be aware that GUI's libraries are large beasts. You cannot cram everything into the stdlib. Who says? Java does. Android does. Microsoft does. Apple does. So what should go into the stdlib then? Well only a very limited subset of widgets. Some might say that you will be limited with a limited subset, well i must agree with argument :). Some might also say that a glass half full is also half empty, duh! No, not 'duh'. You have to explain what the utility of doing such a thing is, as the utility is not apparent in the least. You also need to explain how this is actually accomplished. I don't see it as a trivial task, especially if the implementation path is to wrap something else. What we have now is about as minimal as things are going to get. Everyone needs to realize that the only reason for having ANY GUI in the Python stdlib is for ease of learning and also for batteries included. We just want the basics of a GUI with an extension library available for download. There are two major advantages to this setup... 1. The basics never change. So the Python stdlib GUI module becomes a set it and forget it module. The Python GUI extension library can change all it wants and Python remain backwards compatible. No, I don't see how this follows in the least, especially if the implementation path is, wrap something else. But even in the pure Python case, most (nearly all) GUI applications will rely on the extension library, so it will not be able to change all it wants. 2. By relegating the bloat to an external download the stdlib is kept as small as possible. It's not apparent why this is desirable to me. Even if we take it as a tautology, you need to show the value and means for splitting up a GUI library. Your cutting may result in their being more value by not including a GUI at all. Trivial proof: if everyone ends up needing to download the extension library anyway, you incur no cost for anyone and make the standard library smaller by not including any GUI functionality. So go on, show us a minimized, functional widget set and what we can do with it. We're all pretty eagerly awaiting such a thing. There is no real Tk::Grid. Sure as someone suggested you can mimic a grid with another widget, it's just lipstick on a pig really. Go and check out the wx::Grid with all its wonderful capabilities and then you shall be enlightened! TkTable seems to do everything wx::Grid[sic] can do. I didn't check fully, as it's your claim, so your responsibility to show the inadequacies, especially since you don't even seem to be aware of TkTable's existence. The biggest missing feature seems to be DnD support, AFAICT. BFD to me, since I've never actually encounterd DnD support worth a damn ever and have always ended up doing it manually. Wx is by far the best choice for Python. A small subset of wx widgets in the stdlib and ONE (and only one!) downloadable extension library. Yes the stdlib widgets are only going to cover the most minimal of GUIs -- for learning purposes, utilities, or just simply toys) If you plan to do professional GUI work than package the extension library. It's very simple really. Why split it, if you use wx[sic]? All that saves you is a few .py/.c files in the stdlib. You still need the full wxWidgets install to build even the minimal set, which is pointless and stupid. The costly part with wxWidgets is depending on the native library, not the amount of code in the stdlib. Again, do you think the

I've seen numerous good posts on this list, some post more good quality information and arguments than others, and so far I have yet to see any post of yours where you do not resort to insults and totally avoid the argument. I understand people have different views, but all you are doing is insulting anyone who dares not to agree with you, while making yourself look childish and pathetic in the attempt. So: Eeither 1) Shut up and quit wasting bandwidth, or 2) Grow up and recognize that your being rude is not going to get you anywhere. If you have different views, that's great, but your resorting to insults for lack of anything better is getting really old. While I do recognize that this isn't much better than what you are posting, I hope that you will read it or that something will be done about your responses, as they are contributing nothing at all useful to any discussions.

Multiple instances and wrong parental links
I have hit yet another wall. I am dynamically creating a class and then
creating instances of that class. The class relies on a second class to store a
list of objects. (This is simplified from the the original by a factor of about
20. The real program is trying to create a Python object around an XML
definition object.)
Here's the code:
## OPTION ONE for class: ElementList
### Not really a list, but a wrapper that behaves like a list
class ElementList(object):
def __init__(self, parent, name):
self._parent = parent
self._name = name
def MakeWrapper(checker, _addNameAsAttribute = False ):
## OPTION TWO for class: ElementList
class Wrap(object):
## OPTION THREE for class: Elementlist
def __init__(self, name):
self._name = name
setattr(Wrap, 'stuff', ElementList(self, 'test'))
Wrap.__name__= checker.title()
return Wrap
if __name__ == '__main__':
Dude = MakeWrapper('Dude')
print Dude
d1 = Dude('Josh')
print d1, d1.stuff
# creating the second instance changes the behavior of the subclass
d2 = Dude('Ben')
print d2, d2.stuff
print d1.stuff._parent
print d2.stuff._parent
#creating a third instance changes the behavior of all the subclasses
d3 = Dude('David')
print d3, d3.stuff
print d1.stuff._parent, d2.stuff._parent, d3.stuff._parent
## END CODE
And here is the output:
class '__main__.Dude'
__main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB930 __main__.ElementList object at 0x00DFB950
__main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB730 __main__.ElementList object at 0x00DFB770
__main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB730
__main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB730
__main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB870 __main__.ElementList object at 0x00DFB9B0
__main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB870 __main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB870
__main__.Dude object at 0x00DFB870
The 'stuff' attribute is an ElementList object linked back to the parent
instance, but every time I create an instance, every instance's 'stuff' links
back to the last instance created.
I'm not sure why this is happening, or how to prevent it.
Any suggestions?

If every instance's whatever is the same, one guesses that the
whatever has a class scope, rather than an instance scope.
I'm not sure why this is happening, or how to prevent it.
It's perfectly predictable; to understand what is happening, compare:
def foo():
class Bar(object):
def __init__(self):
setattr(Bar, 'stuff', {})
return Bar
Dude = foo()
a = Dude()
b = Dude()
a.stuff['foo'] = 2
b.stuff
{'foo': 2}
c = Dude()
a.stuff
{}
with the behavior (which I think you expected) of:
def foo():
class Bar(object):
def __init__(self):
setattr(self, 'stuff', {})
return Bar
Dude = foo()
a = Dude()
b = Dude()
a.stuff['foo'] = 2
b.stuff

CPython on the Web
Hello, I hope this will be interesting to people here: CPython running on the web, http://syntensity.com/static/python.html That isn't a new implementation of Python, but rather CPython 2.7.1, compiled from C to JavaScript using Emscripten and LLVM. For more details on the conversion process, see http://emscripten.org This is a work in progress, main issues right now are that the code isn't optimized (so don't expect good performance), and importing non- static modules doesn't work. Otherwise, though, it seems to run properly, in particular it runs all the examples in http://wiki.python.org/moin/SimplePrograms that don't rely on importing modules or receiving input from the user (with perhaps some minor formatting errors). The demo runs fine on recent versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but has problems on IE9 and Opera (hopefully those will be resolved soon). The idea is that by compiling CPython itself, all the features of the language are immediately present, and at the latest version, unlike writing a new implementation which takes time and tends to lag behind. As to why run it on the web, there could be various uses, for example it could allow a simple learning environment for Python, which since it's on the web can be entered immediately without any download (and would run even in places where Python normally can't, like say an iPad). Feedback would be very welcome! - azakai -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

[issue8350] Document lack of support for keyword arguments in C functions
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: If there is no indication in the lib manual as to which parameter names and defaults are real and which are fake, then the safe guideline is to never use keywards for library functions and methods and always pass everything positionally. Slightly more complicated is to be aware of which classes and modules are Python versus C coded. (If needed, change for module.py in /Lib.) For some modules, one can take a cue from doc examples that use keywords. Otherwise, each person has to experiment for himself and check each TypeError messages to determine whether it arises from a misspelling or a hidden limitation. And maybe go through the same process a year later after forgetting. We've lived without this spec for almost twenty years, Yes, and people have been stumbling on this and complaining for probably just as long. Since []s are no longer used in the doc to indicate 'optional', they can and are being used to indicate 'position-only'. Specify in the introduction, where notation should be explained, that the limitation is only for current CPython and may be changed in the future or be different for other implementations. However In my opinion, the real solution is to remove the limitation. Since the language spec says args can be passed by keyword as well as by position, make it be that way for everything we distribute. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8350 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

I suspect it is but the colinux/windows environment should apperently not define it. configure.in magic will be needed to make sure it does not get defined there. Is your bugreport accurate?

[issue10716] Modernize pydoc to use CSS
Ron Adam ron_a...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: Here is a new diff which updates all the new pydoc pages to use the css file. The css file is simpler and cleaner. I also made a few adjustments to the url handler error handling, and changed the titles in the head sections so they say Pydoc instead of Python as they are PyDoc pages about Python. None of these changes effect any of the old pydoc code yet. This is about as far as we can go without removing the old tk panel and server. Time for some feed back. And how close do we really need it to be to the original? :-) -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20216/css_v2.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10716 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
