Nanpy 0.4 - Use your Arduino board with Python
Hi all, I'm really glad to announce you Nanpy 0.4, an initial version of a project born to help developers writing their Arduino programs using Python! I started working on this project just a month ago, so you could find bugs, missing things etc.. if you want to contribute, here's the GitHub page: https://github.com/Octan/nanpy , you can find the Pypi page here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nanpy Actually Nanpy supports the main parts of OneWire, Lcd, DallasTemperature, Stepper, Servo and basic Arduino's function (digital and analog write, tone etc..) and runs without problems on a Raspberry PI. Long and more detailed description: With Nanpy you can write your Arduino programs using Python, communicating via serial port without sending hard-to-remember codes or limiting you to use only one object: when you create an object in Python it will be automatically created into your Arduino at runtime.. For example if you write something like ds = DallasTemperature(5) or tone = Tone(13) Nanpy creates the correct object into Arduino.. Also, you haven't to take care of deallocation, Nanpy deallocates objects into Arduino as soon as the correspondent Python objects get deleted. Look at the examples to see how simple it is.. (https://github.com/Octan/nanpy/tree/master/examples) :) I tried running Nanpy on a Raspberry board and it works great!! (that's the result from one of my friends Twitter account https://twitter.com/andreagrandi/status/251702684380434434 :) ). Also you may use it in other devices suppoting Python and serial communication, in a web service or simply for creating prototypes faster, because you use Python and you don't have to flash the firmware every time. Last but not least, firmware part of Nanpy is Python-indipendent, so you can write another implementation of Nanpy in any other language, for example Java, and see an Arduino controlled via Android (ok, in this case we should use Android USB Host API and USART, writing our own driver, because Android doesn't provide anything to access device filest). Do you like Nanpy? Contributions/suggestions/bug reporting/spreading the project/beers/coffee are accepted :) Thanks for your attention!

I'd like to learn some new programming language, because I learnt a bit of Perl though its OOP is ugly. So, after searching a bit, I found Python and Ruby, and both of they are cute. So, assuming you'll say me learn python, why should I learn it over Ruby? The point why Ruby was started (perceived deficit of object-orientation) has been remedied since Python 2.2. Not completely. At the least, there's arguably still the issue of len() and friends (vs. `.length` etc.), and also of `self` being explicit. I'm not entirely sure which perceived deficit of object-orientation is being talked about, or why anyone but OOP purists would consider that a problem. Python is *more* object-oriented than Java, and I don't hear anyone complaining that Java isn't object-oriented. Everything[1] in Python is an object. *Everything*. Ints are objects. Strings are objects. Arrays are objects. There's no distinction between boxed and unboxed ints, like in Java or Haskell -- Python just has ints, and they're always objects. As for len() and friends, that's a red-herring. Just because the syntax is written len(x) instead of x.len() doesn't make Python less object- oriented. It's just syntax: a + b is no less OO than a.plus(b). Somebody might not *like* the syntax a + b, or len(x), but they should just say so, and not pretend that it isn't OO. Likewise self. Explicit or implicit, how does that make a language less or more object-oriented? That's as foolish as saying that Python isn't object-oriented because you don't have to declare the type of variables: x = (float)1.234 Again, there are arguments for and against explicit self, but explicit self is not OO is not a valid argument. Being object-oriented has both costs and benefits. Java compromises on the idea of OOP for performance: native, non-object ints are faster than object ints. All these people complaining that Python isn't OO enough because you have to write self in method declarations, why aren't they complaining that Java isn't OO enough because ints are unboxed primitive types?

Control structures aren't things in that sense, they aren't values at all, they are actions that takes place during execution. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I tend to think that it's better to reload things explicitly. But if you do want to monitor your files for changes you can use something like this: http://packages.python.org/watchdog/ I'm also curious how hard it would be to build in some error recovery. For example right now when an exception occurs, the player is sometimes just left hanging. The general idea is to try and make state changes atomic. In other words if an error occurs during an operation the previous state should be kept or restored. A simple way to do this is to ensure that anything that might generate an error is run before anything that changes state e.g.: def change_my_values(self, intvalue_string, floatvalue_string): # Do all processing first (might generate errors) iv = int(intvalue_string) fv = float(floatvalue_string) # Then change state self.intvalue = iv self.floatvalue = fv In this simple case, you can get the same effect with: def change_my_values(self, invalue_string, floatvalue_string): self.intvalue, self.floatvalue = in(intvalue_string), float(floatvalue_string) A more sophisticated way might use something like: oldstate = current_state() try: set_state(compute_new_state()) except: restore_state(oldstate) raise Naturally this is quite tedious if you have to put try/except everywhere, but this kind of exception handling can easily be factored out into a context manager. It's a lot harder with Python for me, because I don't get the compile-time errors that I would with c++ for example to know that I did something wrong; while that's not always useful/and by far it doesn't catch everything, it does help. Use unit tests. I'm familiar with things like pychecker, but it seems to be reporting a lot of issues that aren't issues. You may find those useful but they are not a substitute for unit tests. For example, I have a world module which is the core of the engine; it handles players, as well as keeps tracks of all rooms that are loaded in the game and that. Because player and world would have circular imports, I just pass the world object into player functions like logon/create. Pychecker tells me that the world parameter (which is a local var at that point) shadows the world variable in world; world is a singleton, so when you import world it just has a world = World() at the bottom of the module. I would let the main script import World and create the world instance rather than placing a global variable in the world module. also: I have the following code: logging.basicConfig(filename=path.join(logs, mud.log), level=logging.DEBUG) logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler()) I like it displaying to stderr since usually when I'm doing this I'm in screen bouncing back and forth between the output and the tt++ session, but right now I can't get a couple of things; I'm not sure how to set it to log and all other messages to stderr as I did for the file, and I'd like to use a rotating log handler so that it'll rotate when the files are say above 16 KB or something. Is it possible to do something like this; perhaps make it compress the file before it writes to disk, or call a command to do so, so that it wouldn't hang the entire mud while it compresses? Use a standard system tool to manage your server logs. For example logrotate(8) From the manpage: ''' logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that generate large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows too large.

Hello all:
I'm looking at a skill/perk system, where the player builds up his
char
by using perk points to add abilities.
Each perk is under a category, and generally costs go up as you
increase
the perk.
So I'm trying to figure something out; first, I'd really like the
cost
calculation and all of that to be dynamic, so that I don't have to
write
a calculateCost per object. I'd also like to be able to specify
dependencies and say a level, as well as other factors before a
player
can obtain a perk and have them self documenting. The idea is that a
player could do something like:
data perk extended health
and it would tell them they require health at 50 before they can
purchase extended health, as well as the cost, the increase per level
and the total overall cost.
Any ideas on how to set this up would be really appreciated.
Finally, I'm curious how to store and calculate these. I thought
about
using a uid per perk, then storing something like: {uid:level} on the
player, but means that I have to lookup the name somehow still in the
main perk database, then use that uid to check if the player has it.
Are
there better ways of storing skills? I'm also thinking about
calculation; currently the CalculateMaxHp method would have to add up
all the possible perks for health, then add stats and all that. That
could get really rough on performance if it's called often; would
something like a cache work, where you have something like:
{attribute:dirty}? So if I call CalculateHealth, it checks for the
dirty
flag, and if it doesn't exist just returns the previous max HP, but
if
the dirty flag is set, it recalculates? Then anything modifying
health
(level gains, perks, stat increases/etc) would just set the dirty
flag
and call calculate?
Thoughts/ideas would be welcome.
Thanks,
Hi,
Again, do not think about performances before actually having an issue with
them. What's the point to optimize something that doesn't need it ?
For your cache problem, google python memoize decorator for a bunch of
decorators that will allow you to cache your data without any effort.
JM
True, but I always have an irresistible urge to optimize to every yoctosecond
even if its absolutely useless to optimize.

PROGRAMM Das Python Meeting Düsseldorf nutzt eine Mischung aus Open Space und Lightning Talks: Die Treffen starten mit einer kurzen Einleitung. Danach geht es weiter mit einer Lightning Talk Session, in der die Anwesenden Kurzvorträge von fünf Minuten halten können. Hieraus ergeben sich dann meisten viele Ansatzpunkte für Diskussionen, die dann den Rest der verfügbaren Zeit in Anspruch nehmen können. Für 19:45 Uhr haben wir in einem nahegelegenen Restaurant Plätze reserviert, damit auch das leibliche Wohl nicht zu kurz kommt. Lightning Talks können vorher angemeldet werden, oder auch spontan während des Treffens eingebracht werden. Ein Beamer mit XGA Auflösung steht zur Verfügung. Folien bitte als PDF auf USB Stick mitbringen. Lightning Talk Anmeldung bitte formlos per EMail an i...@pyddf.de KOSTENBETEILIGUNG Das Python Meeting Düsseldorf wird von Python Nutzern für Python Nutzer veranstaltet. Da Tagungsraum, Beamer, Internet und Getränke Kosten produzieren, bitten wir die Teilnehmer um einen Beitrag in Höhe von EUR 10,00 inkl. 19% Mwst. Wir möchten alle Teilnehmer bitten, den Betrag in bar mitzubringen. ANMELDUNG Da wir nur für ca. 20 Personen Sitzplätze haben, möchten wir bitten, sich per EMail anzumelden. Damit wird keine Verpflichtung eingegangen. Es erleichtert uns allerdings die Planung.

Oh, about as hard as writing a program. What sort of files? What does your engine do? How does it do it? Without knowing the answers to these questions, how can we possibly tell you how hard it will be to reload them? Detecting changed files is easy. If you google for python monitor directory and similar terms, you will find a metric tonne of solutions. Having your engine reload files is entirely up to you: it's your engine, it will be as trivial or as difficult as you make it be. I'm also curious how hard it would be to build in some error recovery. How long is a piece of string? Again, that depends on you. If you design your application with error recovery in mind, it could be trivial. If you don't, it could be impossible. For example right now when an exception occurs, the player is sometimes just left hanging. It's a lot harder with Python for me, because I don't get the compile-time errors that I would with c++ for example to know that I did something wrong; while that's not always useful/and by far it doesn't catch everything, it does help. Sure, compiler-time checks can sometimes be useful. But in general, they tend to only detect the most trivial errors, syntax errors (Python does that too) and type errors. In Python, the usual answer is to concentrate on writing good unit tests. Good unit tests will test far more than the compiler ever could, and will pay for themselves a hundred times over. I'm familiar with things like pychecker, but it seems to be reporting a lot of issues that aren't issues. Pychecker, like other linters, don't just report fatal errors. They may also report *suspicious code* which may indicate an error, poor techniques, unused code, bad naming conventions, or other examples of poor style. You should be able to turn off such warnings. For example, I have a world module which is the core of the engine; it handles players, as well as keeps tracks of all rooms that are loaded in the game and that. Because player and world would have circular imports Right there is a terrible *code smell*. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Wrong.html Maybe you have a good reason for a circular import, but alarm bells are ringing. Rather than having: # world.py import player # player.py import world which leads to all sorts of complications, it is usually better to have a single module import both world and player and then combine them as needed. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How can I hide my stack frames in a TestCase subclass?
I want to add a custom assert method to a TestCase subclass. I tried to copy my implementation from the unittest module so that it would match the behaviour of the regular TestCase as closely as possible. (I would prefer to just delegate to self.assertEqual() but this causes even more backtrace noise, see below.) The unittest module seems to automatically hide some internal details of its implementation when reporting failed assertions. import unittest class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase): def assertLengthIsOne(self, sequence, msg=None): if len(sequence) != 1: msg = self._formatMessage(msg, length is not one) raise self.failureException(msg) class TestFoo(MyTestCase): seq = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) def test_stock_unittest_assertion(self): self.assertEqual(len(self.seq), 1) def test_custom_assertion(self): self.assertLengthIsOne(self.seq) unittest.main() The output of this is as such: amoe@vuurvlieg $ python unittest-demo.py FF == FAIL: test_custom_assertion (__main__.TestFoo) -- Traceback (most recent call last): File unittest-demo.py, line 16, in test_custom_assertion self.assertLengthIsOne(self.seq) File unittest-demo.py, line 7, in assertLengthIsOne raise self.failureException(msg) AssertionError: length is not one == FAIL: test_stock_unittest_assertion (__main__.TestFoo) -- Traceback (most recent call last): File unittest-demo.py, line 13, in test_stock_unittest_assertion self.assertEqual(len(self.seq), 1) AssertionError: 5 != 1 -- Ran 2 tests in 0.000s FAILED (failures=2) Note that the custom assert method causes a stack trace with two frames, one inside the method itself, whereas the stock unittest method only has one frame, the relevant line in the user's code.

Unless I missed something that wasn't an option in the installer. It lets you choose the location of all the other files by choosing where to put the Python folder. Also it's not as simple as just moving them to where you want after install since they are associated with the registry keys for running .py and .pyw files. As it happens, since I don't have access to the WINDOWS folder on my work machine, the installer did just put them into the Python33 folder (which is fine with me).

Re: Can somebody give me an advice about what to learn?
The point why Ruby was started (perceived deficit of object-orientation) has been remedied since Python 2.2. Not completely. At the least, there's arguably still the issue of len() and friends (vs. `.length` etc.), and also of `self` being explicit. I'm not entirely sure which perceived deficit of object-orientation is being talked about, or why anyone but OOP purists would consider that a problem. Yukihiro Matsumoto did. I myself never perceived any lack of object-orientation with Python, since I've learned programming with Pascal anyway. ;- I just wanted to point out that given the state of Python today, no one would probably consider starting Ruby any more.

I deleted also my account from bitbucket as it was not really useful for me. notmm will continue to be accessible from my master site at http://gthc.org/dist/notmm until the server get down, as I cannot find money to pay for the hosting of notmm.org, neither anyone to encourage the project so it can grow further. I have tried to develop a coherent extension for Django using the open source model but I'm afraid to have been bitten by its failure to encourage a free market over one dictated by profit and the use of cheap tricks to compete unfairly with perhaps too much openness. I always will also continue to love and use free softwares but sadly it seems asking for a little fairness is too much asked to competitors dedicated in stealing and subverting my work for their own advantages...

The chief benefit besides the searching, so far, is that you can use Py3k
mixed with shell commands as the
scripting language--so script in Python instead of bash.
When using Python for scripting, Python lines are indented by an extra
tab (or four spaces) while shell-like
commands are not indented. So:
cjsh for index in range(10):
echo %(index)d
0
1
2
[snip]
Echo could (and maybe should) be a built-in, but it isn't. The output is
os.system()'ed to bash, which echoes
based on a command that includes the value of a Python variable. The
implementation is a bit crude, but it is
reasonably powerful.
I have other things on the agenda, like making it able to run scripts and
doing fuzzy matching, but for now
those are the main two attractions.
Is it possible to drop completly the bash syntax and use some python
library (I saw it on github) that wraps
bash commands with python functions or the other around making it possible
to call python functions with a bash-
like syntax. The syntax you are talking about seems strange.

Amirouche

I need more footnotes. :) Does every shell command not have indentation?
How can you tell if the shell command is supposed to be in the loop or after
the loop?

But if you're really tired of it, then just post the source code and someone may end up taking your project to places you never had the energy to. anecdote There was - and, incidentally, still kinda is - a project called Gmud, a 32-bit (but Win32s compatible) Windows MUD client. Its author asked people to send him money if they liked and used the program - $US20 I think - but almost nobody ever did. For years, Gmud was the recommended Windows client for Threshold RPG, and yet still something like *four* people ever sent the author money. So the author threw the source out to the world and said I'm done, have fun. Enter the Threshold RPG community. Gmud has been extremely popular (in fact, some people still use it today), in spite of some limitations that may have been reasonable a few years ago, but are ridiculous now, like a fixed 500-line scrollback buffer. So some of the people there ask me to grab the source, tweak a few things, and recompile. I'm a geek, I do these sorts of things. Well, it turned out to be not that simple, for a few reasons. But eventually, after a near-complete rewrite, I produced a new MUD client that uses the same look and feel as Gmud, as an acknowledged derivative. RosMud++ is now the officially recommended Windows client for Threshold, and it would never have happened if Gmud's source hadn't been given away. /anecdote It's really hard to make money off software, these days. Which is a pity, because there's lots of good software that'd be worth money. I do see your pain. :( This is part of why my newest MUD client, Gypsum, is open-sourced from the very beginning.

I'm only somewhat familiar with the extra stuff that languages provide
in their regexs beyond true regular expressions and simple extensions,
but I was surprised to see the question because I too would have
expected that to work. (And match any sequence of whitespace characters
whose length is a multiple of six.) I reskimmed the documentation of the
re module and didn't see anything that would prohibit it. I looked at
several of the results of a Google search for the multiple repeat error,
and didn't really find any explanation beyond because you can't do it
or here's a regex that works. (Well, OK, I did see a mention of +
being a possessive quantifier which Python doesn't support. But that
still doesn't explain why my expectation isn't what happened.)
In what way is that an unreasonable question?

Embedded Python 3 porting issues when passing FILE* to PyRun_SimpleFile() in Windows mixed-compiler environment
Hi. I'm trying to convert a large C application that embeds Python so it works with Python 3, and am running into an new API limitation I can't solve. I have a report from Windows users that there is a crashing problem occurring with calls to PyRun_SimpleFile (and similar functions). This appears to happen when people are using a Python DLL compiled with one compiler (e.g., MicroSoft's) and the application with another compiler (e.g., MinGW/gcc). The basic problem is that C type (FILE*) is not defined by the Windows OS, but instead is specific to the compiler and its associated runtime-environment. So therefore it is not safe to pass a FILE* across DLL boundaries. However many of the Python C API functions only accept a FILE*. Under Python 2 a work-around was used by calling the PyFile_FromString() then PyFile_AsFile(), to effectively get the underlying fopen() to occur inside the Python DLL so that an incompatible FILE* is not passed across the DLL boundary. However many of those PyFile functions, including PyFile_FromFile(), were removed from the Python 3 API. So how can one safely call PyRun_SimpleFile() in Python 3 in Windows where different compilers could be used?

[issue16125] open accepts arbitrary mode strings as long as they contain U
New submission from Robert Xiao:
This issue affects Python 2.5 through 2.7, but not Python 3.
open accepts basically anything for the second argument, so long as it either
starts with r, w, or a, or contains U somewhere in the string. Therefore, the
following are all legal in Python 2.7.3:
open('/tmp/a', 'wail')
open file '/tmp/a', mode 'wail' at 0x100468ed0
open('/tmp/a', 'PAIL')
open file '/tmp/a', mode 'PAIL' at 0x100468270
open('/tmp/a', 'rabid')
open file '/tmp/a', mode 'rabid' at 0x100468ed0
open('/tmp/a', 'alpha[]')
open file '/tmp/a', mode 'alpha[]' at 0x100468270
open('/tmp/a', 'raw')
open file '/tmp/a', mode 'raw' at 0x100468270
Because the mode string is literally a copy of the passed-in mode, it is not
clear at all what the mode of the file actually is. For example, in the last
case, I cannot write to the file even though the mode contains 'w', because the
mode is actually 'r'.
I think there are two ways to fix this: either fix the whole mode parsing logic
in Objects/fileobject.c to resemble that in Modules/_io/fileio.c from Python 3
(which does proper validation), or just build and store the calculated mode
(e.g. rb) so it's at least possible to determine the file mode.

[issue16098] Bisect optimization in heapq.nsmallest is never used
Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Just so you know, in CPython the bisect version of nsmallest() isn't called at all. Instead, the C implementation is used and it employs the heap based algorithm rather than the bisect algorithm. Instead of mucking with code that call nsmallest(), I'll likely just update nsmallest() at some point to use the same algorithm as the code for nlargest(). That with bring the C code and pure Python code fully in-sync. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16098 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue16113] Add SHA-3 (Keccak) support
Christian Heimes added the comment: Hello Björn, thanks for the information. Your package didn't turn up on Google when I started with my experiment. Perhaps it's too new? Your code and mine have lots of similarities. I was amused when I saw that you had the same issue with the block size attribute. At first I set it to 200 (1600 / 8) but eventually I didn't implement it. My code does everything in C with a separate constructor for each flavor of SHA-3. It's compatible to Python 2.6 to 3.4 and uses the optimized code for 32 and 64bit platforms. Oh, and my code is now working properly. Feel free to review the module. I'll upload the test code later. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16113 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8800] add threading.RWLock
Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment: Ok, here is a new patch. It takes into account various comments and suggestions: 1) The interface is java-like. a single RWLock instance only has attributes reader_lock and writer_lock. 2) Since the owning array needs only be process local, the same semantics can be used for multiprocessing. Multiprocessing version only does minimal patching of the threading classes, similarly to Barrier. There is implementation coupling between threading and multiprocessing but that is probably ok. 3) Test are there, except that the final tests in the multiprocessing, those that used to rely on data gathered in lists, are nerfed. Not sure how to gather data when multiprocessing 4) I also didn't get the manager tests to work. I don't know what managers are or what they are supposed to do, and why they use proxy objects. I attempted to create a proxy object in managers.py but it failed the tests. Also, I am unsure if it is sufficient to proxy only the RWLock object, or if the _ReaderLock and _WriterLock instances that are returned should be proxied too. Documentation i stole from Java. The locking policy is the same as the RecursiveReaderWiterLock from java, i.e. readers wait for writers, but otherwise no preference. Recursion is provided for readers and writers, but not upgrade/downgrade. Again, this is not intended to be final code, particularly I would like help and suggestions for the multiprocessing tests and the manager code. Also, while I strongly prefer RWLock, or ReaderWriterLock, or something similar, basically because it fits with our already java-ized threading module and the terminology from everywhere else in the field today, I'm not going to be enormously difficult about it. cheers! -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27412/rwlock.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8800 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue16128] hashable documentation error
New submission from Max: http://docs.python.org/dev/glossary.html?highlight=hashable says: Objects which are instances of user-defined classes are hashable by default; they all compare unequal, and their hash value is their id(). Since x == x returns True by default, so they all compare unequal isn't quite right. In addition, both the above paragraph and http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/datamodel.html?highlight=__eq__#object.__hash__ say: User-defined classes have __eq__() and __hash__() methods by default; with them, all objects compare unequal (except with themselves) and x.__hash__() returns an appropriate value such that x == y implies both that x is y and hash(x) == hash(y). This is correct, but may leave some confusion with the reader about what happens to a subclass of a built-in class (which doesn't use the default behavior, but instead simply inherits the parent's __hash__ and __eq__). -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 171935 nosy: docs@python, max priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: hashable documentation error type: enhancement versions: Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16128 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue16129] No good way to set 'PYTHONIOENCODING' when embedding python.
New submission from Campbell Barton: note, I was asked to report this issue, posted on the py dev mailing list: see - http://code.activestate.com/lists/python-dev/118015/ --- We've run into an issue recently with blender3d on ms-windows where we want to enforce the encoding is UTF-8 with the embedded python interpreter. (the encoding defaults to cp437). I naively thought setting the environment variable before calling Py_Initialize() would work, but the way python DLL loads, it gets its own environment variables that cant be modified directly [1]. eg, _putenv(PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8:surrogateescape); We had bug reports by windows users not able to export files because the stdout errors on printing paths with unsupported encoding. [2],[3] --- Of course we could distribute blender with a bat file launcher that sets env variables, or ask the user to set their env variable - but I dont think this is really a good option. I tried overriding the stderr stdout, but this caused another bug on exiting, giving an assert in MSVCR90.DLL's write.c (called from python32_d.dll): _VALIDATE_CLEAR_OSSERR_RETURN((_osfile(fh) FOPEN), EBADF, -1); import sys, io sys.__stdout__ = sys.stdout = io.TextIOWrapper(io.open(sys.stdout.fileno(), wb, -1), encoding='utf-8', errors='surrogateescape', newline=\n, line_buffering=True) sys.__stderr__ = sys.stderr = io.TextIOWrapper(io.open(sys.stderr.fileno(), wb, -1), encoding='utf-8', errors='surrogateescape', newline=\n, line_buffering=True) IMHO either of these solutions would be fine. * have a PyOS_PutEnv() function, gettext has gettext_putenv() to workaround this problem. * manage this the same as Py_GetPythonHome(), which can be defined by the embedding application to override the default.
