[ANN] bzr 2.6.0 released
On behalf of the Bazaar team and community, I'm happy to announce availability of a new release of the bzr adaptive version control system. Bazaar http://bazaar.canonical.com/ is a Canonical project and part of the GNU project http://gnu.org/ to produce a free operating system. Thanks to everyone who contributed patches, suggestions, and feedback. Bazaar is now available for download from https://launchpad.net/bzr/2.6/2.6.0 as a source tarball. An Installer is available for OSX from the url above too. Volunteers are welcome to build a windows one. This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.6 series (2.6.1, etc), while 2.7 will become our new development series. This is a bugfix and polish release over the 2.5 series, with a large number of bugs fixed (~50 for the 2.6 series alone). All known fixed bugs are included here. Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.

Astroid 1.0 released
Astroid_ is the new name of former logilab-astng library. It's an AST library, used as the basis of Pylint_ and including Python 2.5 - 3.3 compatible tree representation, statical type inference and other features useful for advanced Python code analysis, such as an API to provide extra information when statistical inference can't overcome Python dynamic nature (see the `pylint-brain`_ project for instance). It has been renamed and hosted to bitbucket to make clear that this is not a Logilab dedicated project but a community project that could benefit to any people manipulating Python code (statistical analysis tools, IDE, browser, etc). Documentation is a bit rough but should quickly improve. Also a dedicated web-site is now online, visit www.astroid.org (or https://bitbucket.org/logilab/astroid for development). You may download and install it from Pypi or from `Logilab's debian repositories`_. .. _Pylint: http://www.pylint.org .. _`Logilab's debian repositories`: http://www.logilab.org/bookmark/4621/follow .. _Astroid: http://www.astroid.org .. _`pylint-brain`: https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint-brain Enjoy! -- Sylvain Thénault, LOGILAB, Paris (01.45.32.03.12) - Toulouse (05.62.17.16.42) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.

I particularly don't get the [i+1:] part. Any additional information and help would be greatly appreciated! First you should realise that this isn't actually great code by my standards. There are quite a few un-idiomatic things done, but hopefully the learning you get outweighs the things you have to unlearn ;). That said, here's an explanation. This loop: for i in range(len(secretWord)): # replace blanks with correctly guessed letters if secretWord[i] in correctLetters: blanks = blanks[:i] + secretWord[i] + blanks[i+1:] wants to change blanks from a string like to a string like a_t_. It has a companion string, secretWord, of the same length (such as acts). the for i in range(len(secretWord)): loop¹ goes through all the numbers from 0 to 3 in this case. if secretWord[i] in correctLetters:³ takes the letter from position 0 to 3, which is each of the letters in the secret word in turn, so a, c, t and s and checks if that letter is in correctLetters. If it is, we want to do the transformation like - a___ and a___ - a_t_. This brings us to line 79. blanks = blanks[:i] + secretWord[i] + blanks[i+1:]⁴ Let blanks be a___. When i == 2, secretWord[i] == t which we can assume is in correctLetters. blanks[:2] returns a_ because you're slicing the string up to the second stop. I don't know how slices have been taught but I'd been taught like so: [0]a[1]_[2]_[3]_[4] so slicing from the start (by missing the start index in the slice) to 2 would return the a and _. secretWord[i] returns t as before. blanks[i+1:] == blanks[2+1:] == blanks[3:] so return the rest *after skipping one*, so just _. This means that the additions resolve to: blanks = a_ + t + _ which results in a_t_. Does this help? ¹ You should really use for i, letter in enumerate(secretWord²): but I'll let it pass for simplicity. ² Really, secret_word is better than secretWord, too, but w/e. ³ Better written as if letter in guessed_letters: given [1] and a generalisation of [2]. ⁴ This is *really* bad practice. Not only is the string rebuilt every time the loop happens but it's actually rebuilt in part about *three* times per loop. In this case it's not a big deal, but don't write things like this.⁵ ⁵ You should probably use a mutable list which you .join() OR replace elements using an iterator (the second of those you can leave for later but they're not that hard). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I particularly don't get the [i+1:] part. Any additional information and help would be greatly appreciated! When you have a list with and want to replace the third item with something else you can do it like this: items = [r, e, e, d] items[2] = a items ['r', 'e', 'a', 'd'] With a string that is not possible because strings cannot be modified (they are immutable): s = reed s[2] = a Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment You could try replace() to build a new string s.replace(e, a) 'raad' but that replaces all occurrences. So to manually replace th third character you take the first two characters of the original s[:2] 're' then the characters after the third s[3:] 'd' and finally build the new string by putting the new character (or string) in between: s[:2] + a + s[3:] 'read' A function to replace the n-th character would then look like this: def replace_nth_char(s, n, replacement): ... return s[:n] + replacement + s[n+1:] ... replace_nth_char(read, 2, e) 'reed' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Just an alert that some folks won't even see a message from googlegroups, because they filter it out in protest. If you join this mailing list with more conventional means, you can avoid several problems.) The syntax you're describing is called a slice. it works on strings, and on lists, and some other places. For strings in particular, because they are immutable, something that ought to be easy becomes a strange-looking slice expression. it's worth taking the trouble to figure out the patterns of those, so you can just recognize them without too much thought. And of course, asking here is one good first step for that. A slice can specify up to 3 numeric values, which could be labeled as start, end, and step, just like range. However, they're separated by colons, rather than commas. Go to the debugger (by just typing python at the command prompt, without a script), and play a bit. abcdefg[:3] is analogous to range(3), which is equivalent to range(0,3). Those ranges produce a list containing 0, 1 and 2. So the string slice produces the characters at those 3 positions. In other words, abc (Remember Python is 99.9% zero-based). (If on Python 3.x, use list(range(qqq)) to expand it out and actually see the elements as a list) abcdefg[4:]is analogous to range(4, 7) and produces 'efg' Notice that character 3 is not in either string. The letter 'd' is missing. So this particular pattern: xxx[:i] + other + xxx[i+1:] lets you replace the ith character with whatever's in other. if it's a single character, the net effect is just replacing the ith character with a different one.

Simulate `bash` behaviour using Python and named pipes.
Hi everybody, I am trying to understand how to use named pipes in python to launch external processes (in a Linux environment). As an example I am trying to imitate the behaviour of the following sets of commands is bash: mkfifo named_pipe ls -lah named_pipe cat named_pipe In Python I have tried the following commands: import os import subprocess as sp os.mkfifo(named_pipe,0777) #equivalent to mkfifo in bash.. fw = open(named_pipe,'w') #at this point the system hangs... My idea it was to use subprocess.Popen and redirect stdout to fw... next open named_pipe for reading and giving it as input to cat (still using Popen). I know it is a simple (and rather stupid) example, but I can't manage to make it work.. How would you implement such simple scenario? Thanks a lot in advance for the help!!!

You simply use your own envelope-from address; SPF shouldn't be being checked for the From: header. Forwarding and using the original sender's address in the SMTP 'MAIL FROM' command is forging mail from them, so it is correct for that to be thrown out. The mail is coming from your own account, so you put your address in it, and you might even be able to put an uber-strict SPF record like v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 -all which is quick to process and guarantees that nobody can pretend to forward mail on your behalf. The checks are for the *current connection*, not anything earlier. ChrisA Bit Late, but do check out http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Forwarding Forwarding does get broken, but a partial solution in whitelisting is there, though too manual therefore cumbersome.

Hi Paul, first of all thanks for the help. I am aware of the first solutions, just now I would like to experiment a bit with using named pipes (I also know that the example is trivial, but it just to grasp the main concepts) You can also pass a file object to p1's stdout and p2's stdin if you want to pipe via a file. with open(named_pipe, rw) as named_pipe: p1 = subprocess.Popen([ls, -lah], stdout=named_pipe) p2 = subprocess.Popen([cat], stdin=named_pipe) p1.wait() p2.wait() Your second example doesn't work for me.. if named_file is not a file in the folder I get an error saying that there is not such a file. If I create named_pipe as a named pipe using os.mkfifo(named_file,0777) than the code hangs.. I think it is because there is not process that reads the content of the pipe, so the system waits for the pipe to be emptied. Thanks a lot in advance for the help in any case.

Hi Alister, Are you sure you are using the correct tool for the task? Yes. For two reasons: 1.

For technical reasons I can't use the subprocess.communicate() (the output to process is very large) method, and due to a bug in the interactive shell I am using (https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/3884) I cannot pipe processes just using the standard subprocess.Popen() approach.

You could try something like this: os.mkfifo(named_pipe, 0777) ls_process = subprocess.Popen(ls -lah named_pipe) pipe = open(named_pipe, r) # Read the output of the subprocess from the pipe. When the subprocess terminates (look at the docs for Popen objects), close and delete the fifo. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

RE: [argparse] mutually exclusive group with 2 sets of options
You can probably do something similar using sub commands (http://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html#sub-commands). The problem here is that argparse does not pass the subparser into the parsed args and shared args between subparsers need to be declared each time. Come execution time, when you have shared args you end up testing for various incantations of the invoked code, you're better off omitting subparsers and performing conditional tests after parsing for incompatible combinations. It's a waste of typing to write out a mode followed by params to achieve the ops goal, I've hit the same limitation. Certainly a weakness of argparse in my opinion. It's also a tough sell to force a user to install a package just for the cli if you go with docopt. I'd love to see argparse expand or docopt get included... jlc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Probably your problem, then, is that a 'str' object has no attribute

file is a 'str' object. You are accessing the 'sort' attribute which it
doesn't have.

So you want to sort your string by lines. Rather than trying to abuse a
.sort attribute that patently doesn't exist, just use sorted OR convert to
a list first.
sorted(open('/home/collier/pytest/**sort.TXT'), key=str.casefold,

[issue14323] Normalize math precision in RGB/YIQ conversion
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Can you add a reference for the coefficients? I have only link to Wikipedia which refers to Code of Federal Regulations §73.682. This link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YIQ) already mentioned at the top of the file. (You claim about the current rounding is not exactly correct. While .28*g rounds .277 rather than .274, the current .52*g rounds the non-FCC .523 rather than the FCC .5251. So I avoided making the claim in the suggested entry. It is not important.) A sum of coefficients in this line should be 0 (Q=0 for R=G=B). Patch updated. I added a What's New entry and update to use of unittest.main(), rewrite rgb_to_yiq() in the form as in Wikipedia (it uses less multiplications) and write coefficients in yiq_to_rgb() with maximal precision (as calculated with Python). -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31163/colorsys_yiq_fcc_2.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14323 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The objection to zipfile-no-crc32.patch is that binascii.crc32() and _crc32() have different signatures. binascii.crc32() accepts a byte object while _crc32() accepts a single integer. With packing this value into a bytes object _crc32() will be much slower. As for zdlazy.patch, there is a proposed patch in issue10030 which speedups pure Python decryption.

[issue18585] Add a text truncation function
R. David Murray added the comment: Looking just at the proposed functionality (taking a prefix) and ignoring the requested complexification :), the usual name for the text produced by this process is a lead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section), although formally a lead is actually written to be used as such, as opposed to just taking a prefix, so that word really has the same problem as 'summarize'. I think 'truncate' would be a better name. Or, if you don't mind being wordier, extract_prefix. The fact that it is part of the textwrap module should be enough clue that the truncation happens at whitespace. Truncate could also apply to the expanded version if you squint a little, if Antoine is interested in that. On the other hand, the use case presented for that is not going to be served by this function anyway, since this function (being part of textwrap) breaks on whitespace...it shouldn't (IMO) elide text other than at whitespace. If you want that functionality it belongs in some other module, I think. The placeholder argument could alternatively be named 'ellipsis', but placeholder is certainly fine. shorten would probably be better if you are going with the expanded version, but I like truncate. It is probably significant that that is what the title of the issue calls it :) -- nosy: +r.david.murray ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18585 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Returning foreign instances is supported behaviour for __new__. (If the object returned from __new__ is not an instance, __init__ is not called.) I believe the current implementation is reasonable and prefer to keep it. If I use the traditional implementation, there will only be one instance, with no state, only methods. That's a rather poor excuse for an instance, and a class already is a singleton object with methods and (in this case) no state, so creating an instance as well adds nothing.
