pytest-2.4: may better fixtures be with you
The just released pytest-2.4.0 brings many improvements and numerous bug fixes while remaining plugin- and test-suite compatible apart from a few supposedly very minor incompatibilities. See below for a full list of details. A few feature highlights: - new yield-style fixtures `pytest.yield_fixture http://pytest.org/latest/yieldfixture.html`_, allowing to use existing with-style context managers in fixture functions. - improved pdb support: ``import pdb ; pdb.set_trace()`` now works without requiring prior disabling of stdout/stderr capturing. Also the ``--pdb`` options works now on collection and internal errors and we introduced a new experimental hook for IDEs/plugins to intercept debugging: ``pytest_exception_interact(node, call, report)``. - shorter monkeypatch variant to allow specifying an import path as a target, for example: ``monkeypatch.setattr(requests.get, myfunc)`` - better unittest/nose compatibility: all teardown methods are now only called if the corresponding setup method succeeded. - integrate tab-completion on command line options if you have `argcomplete http://pypi.python.org/pypi/argcomplete`_ configured. - allow boolean expression directly with skipif/xfail if a reason is also specified. - a new hook ``pytest_load_initial_conftests`` allows plugins like `pytest-django http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-django`_ to influence the environment before conftest files import ``django``. - reporting: color the last line red or green depending if failures/errors occured or everything passed. The documentation has been updated to accomodate the changes, see `http://pytest.org http://pytest.org`_ To install or upgrade pytest:: pip install -U pytest # or easy_install -U pytest **Many thanks to all who helped, including Floris Bruynooghe, Brianna Laugher, Andreas Pelme, Anthon van der Neut, Anatoly Bubenkoff, Vladimir Keleshev, Mathieu Agopian, Ronny Pfannschmidt, Christian Theunert and many others.** may passing tests be with you, holger krekel Changes between 2.3.5 and 2.4 --- known incompatibilities: - if calling --genscript from python2.7 or above, you only get a standalone script which works on python2.7 or above. Use Python2.6 to also get a python2.5 compatible version. - all xunit-style teardown methods (nose-style, pytest-style, unittest-style) will not be called if the corresponding setup method failed, see issue322 below. - the pytest_plugin_unregister hook wasn't ever properly called and there is no known implementation of the hook - so it got removed. - pytest.fixture-decorated functions cannot be generators (i.e. use yield) anymore. This change might be reversed in 2.4.1 if it causes unforeseen real-life issues. However, you can always write and return an inner function/generator and change the fixture consumer to iterate over the returned generator. This change was done in lieu of the new ``pytest.yield_fixture`` decorator, see below. new features: - experimentally introduce a new ``pytest.yield_fixture`` decorator which accepts exactly the same parameters as pytest.fixture but mandates a ``yield`` statement instead of a ``return statement`` from fixture functions. This allows direct integration with with-style context managers in fixture functions and generally avoids registering of finalization callbacks in favour of treating the after-yield as teardown code. Thanks Andreas Pelme, Vladimir Keleshev, Floris Bruynooghe, Ronny Pfannschmidt and many others for discussions. - allow boolean expression directly with skipif/xfail if a reason is also specified. Rework skipping documentation to recommend condition as booleans because it prevents surprises when importing markers between modules. Specifying conditions as strings will remain fully supported. - reporting: color the last line red or green depending if failures/errors occured or everything passed. thanks Christian Theunert. - make import pdb ; pdb.set_trace() work natively wrt capturing (no -s needed anymore), making ``pytest.set_trace()`` a mere shortcut. - fix issue181: --pdb now also works on collect errors (and on internal errors) . This was implemented by a slight internal refactoring and the introduction of a new hook ``pytest_exception_interact`` hook (see next item). - fix issue341: introduce new experimental hook for IDEs/terminals to intercept debugging: ``pytest_exception_interact(node, call, report)``. - new monkeypatch.setattr() variant to provide a shorter invocation for patching out classes/functions from modules: monkeypatch.setattr(requests.get, myfunc) will replace the get function of the requests module with ``myfunc``. - fix issue322: tearDownClass is not run if setUpClass failed. Thanks Mathieu Agopian for the initial fix. Also make all of pytest/nose finalizer mimick the same generic behaviour: if a setupX exists

IF in parent class there is variable called location, then can i use the same variable in my sub class. Python doesn't actually have variables, but the things it documents as variables are local names within a method. Those are not visible outside of the method, regardless of whether you're in a class or a subclass. But perhaps you mean attributes. There are both class attributes and instance attributes, and the behavior is quite different. Roughly speaking a class attribute occurs only once per class, and all code can read its value with either Class.my_attrib or instance.my_attrib. It can be written with Class.my_attrib. On the other hand, instance attributes are usable by instance.my_attrib, regardless of whether the instance is a base class An instance is an object of some class that could have its own attributes i.e. instance priviate properties during the run time. or a child class. Each instance of the class gets a separate copy of such an attribute. They are normally defined in the __init__() method. If you don't happen to know the difference between a class an an instance of that class, then all the above will look like gibberish, and you need to do some studying first. -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

There's all the other very helpful, very on-topic traffic and there's the Nikos flailing around trying to get other people to write his code and solve his problems for him without actually taking the time to understand the actual problem/solution, and demanding that helpful/working solutions be contorted to fit his perspective of what the solution *should* look like threads. When things boil up sufficiently, I tend to just use my mail/usenet client's kill-thread feature to auto-block threads where the FROM header contains Nikos's gmail or superhost.gr, and suddenly the list reverts mostly to the very helpful, very on-topic traffic. 3) I'm a bit late to the party. Is Nikos a real sysadmin or is this some horrible inside joke I don't get? You don't leave much wiggle-room there. I'm afraid he is a real sysadmin (for some definition of real and sysadmin) or at least he has development/deployment access on a shared-hosting system where he alleges to have strikesuckers/strikeactual clients depending on his services. I wish it was a horrible joke (or maybe it is). The site hacking referred to in this thread appears to be the result of his repeated antagonization of the list through his intentional disregard for advice given; also a result of his failure to heed instructions on securing the site--especially with regards to publishing passwords on mailing-lists (or the URLs to the code containing those plain-text credentials).

Tail recursion is not optimized. We are in 2013, why ? This is known technology (since 1960). And don't answer with good programmers don't use recursion, this is bullshit. Tail recursion optimization throws away valuable stack trace information in case of an error. This is hardly relevant. Because what are we told to use instead of tail calls? We are told to use loops. But when you use a loop the stack trace doesn't contain the values of previous runs through the loop. So how valuable is that stack frame information when the proposed alternative doesn't produces it either. This is incorrect. Loops are not always a replacement for tail recursion optimization. Tail recursion optimization generally means that the last function call before a return in a function reuses the current stack frame instead of generating a new one. This is regardless of which function is called, otherwise mutually recursive calls will not be optimized. (Unless you do static analysis of all the functions calls involved, which is very hard or even impossible in python.) A better name for this process is therefore 'tail call optimization'. So any function call that is last in its flow will be optimized. This gives a lot of situations where stack trace information is thrown away, even in those situations where a loop would not be an alternative and where optimization would give little benefit. Anyway, deep recursion isn't used very often in Python, which diminishes the value of tail call optimization. -- Piet van Oostrum p...@vanoostrum.org WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Tail recursion to while iteration in 2 easy steps
Part of the reason that Python does not do tail call optimization is
that turning tail recursion into while iteration is almost trivial, once
you know the secret of the two easy steps. Here it is.
Assume that you have already done the work of turning a body recursive
('not tail recursive') form like
def fact(n): return 1 if n = 1 else n * fact(n-1)
into a tail recursion like
def fact(n, _fac=1):
'''Return factorial for any count n.
Users are not expected to override private parameter _fac.
'''
if n = 1:
return _fac
else: # optional
return fact(n-1, n * _fac)
(This conversion nearly requires adding an accumulator parameter, as
done here.
Turn this into while iteration with two easy steps.
1. If not already done, make if-else a statement, rather than an
expression, with the recursive call in the if branch. If nothing else,
just use 'not condition' to invert the condition.
def fact(n, _fac=1):
if n 1: # not n = 1
return fact(n-1, n * _fac)
else: # optional
return _fac
While contrary to what is often published, this order makes logical
sense. The recursive call means 'go to the top of this function with new
bindings for the parameters'. So put it closest to the top. The base
case means 'we are done, time to leave'. So put it at the bottom.
2. This order also makes the follow substeps work:
2a. Replace 'if' with 'while'.
2b. Replace the recursive call with multiple assignment, using the
parameters as targets and the arguments as source.
For our example:
def fact(n, _fac=1):
while n 1:
n, _fac = n-1, n * _fac
else:
return _fac
The proof of correctness for this conversion might argue that the
recursive form is equivalent to the following pseudo-Python:
def fact(n, _fac=1):
label top
if n 1:
n, _fac = n-1, n * _fac
goto top
else:
return _fac
and that this is equivalent to the real Python with while.
At this point, you call pull the initialization of the private parameter
into the body, remove the else, and even add a value check.
def fact(n):
if n 0 or n != int(n):
raise ValueError('fact input {} is not a count'.format(n))
fac = 1
while n 1:
n, fac = n-1, n * fac
return fac
With care, the multiple-assignment statement can usually be turned into
multiple assignment statements for greater efficiency.
fac *= n
n -= 1
But note that the reverse order would be a bug. So I would not do this,
especially in more complicated situations, without having tests first.

# Question 1.a
def temp(T, from_unit, to_unit):
I suspect that this doesn't work properly for all cases of from_unit,
to_unit.
As a general case:
def temp ( T, u1, u2 ):
# from and to units the same, return T unchanged
# else use a conversion table
ct = { (a, b):lambda x: formula, }
return ct[ (u1, u2 ) ]( T )
Note you may need to build in case independence!
# Question 1.b
def comp(T1, u1, T2, u2):
You completely missed the point of my earlier posts, and I suspect the
reason both these questions were included.
Firstly, consider that if temp (from q1a) works properly you can use temp
to convert the units of T2 to the units of T1, by calling:
temp( T2, u2, u1 )
q1b can be implemented in one line if temp from q1a works properly!
# Question 2
def P(p_0, t, i):
Amount = P(1 + (i/100))
return P(1 + (t * i/12))
First calculate the annual interest as 1 + fraction where fraction is
interest % / 100
The calculate the compounded interest as annual ^ years
Finally multiply the compounded interest by the principal
Mathematically:
principal * ( ( 1 + ( period_interest_% / 100 ) ) ^ periods )
Again, this should be possible as a single line function. All you have to
do is turn the math into python code.

python function parameters, debugging, comments, etc.
I've got a fair bit of programming experience (mostly kernel/POSIX stuff in C). I'm fairly new to python though, and was hoping for some advice. Given the fact that function parameters do not specify types, when you're looking at someone else's code how the heck do you know what is expected for a given argument? (Especially in a nontrivial system where the parameter is just passed on to some other function and may not be evaluated for several nested function calls.) Is the recommendation to have comments for each function describing the expected args? I was trying to debug some stuff that someone else wrote. It turned out that the problem was in code like this: def rebuild_instance(self, context, instance, image, ...) request_spec = scheduler_utils.build_request_spec(context, image, [instance]) ...stuff... other_function(...,image,...) where build_request_spec looks like: def build_request_spec(ctxt, image, instances): ...etc... and it took me a while to realize that rebuild_instance() was being passed the image ID (basically just a string), and other_function() was expecting the image ID, but build_request_spec() was expecting the actual image dictionary. It also took me a while to realize that that build_request_spec() was expecting a list of instances, while rebuild_instance() was passing in a single instance. That one is already fixed in the above code. So what's the recommended way of dealing with stuff like this in larger projects with many developers?

(Especially in a nontrivial system where the parameter is just passed on to some other function and may not be evaluated for several nested function calls.) Is the recommendation to have comments for each function describing the expected args? I was trying to debug some stuff that someone else wrote. It turned out that the problem was in code like this: def rebuild_instance(self, context, instance, image, ...) request_spec = scheduler_utils.build_request_spec(context, image, [instance]) ...stuff... other_function(...,image,...) where build_request_spec looks like: def build_request_spec(ctxt, image, instances): ...etc... and it took me a while to realize that rebuild_instance() was being passed the image ID (basically just a string), and other_function() was expecting the image ID, but build_request_spec() was expecting the actual image dictionary. It also took me a while to realize that that build_request_spec() was expecting a list of instances, while rebuild_instance() was passing in a single instance. That one is already fixed in the above code. So what's the recommended way of dealing with stuff like this in larger projects with many developers? Thanks, Chris -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list One way is to require docstrings (the triple quoted text immediately following the def line) on your project and set out requirements for how to describe the function/method arguments there. There is a tool call pydoc that collects docstrings and makes great documentation. -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: JUST GOT HACKED
: Imagine, if you will, a pub landlord. I'll call him Nick. The pub Nick manages is a run-of-the-mill affair: he leases it from a brewery, and they look after most of the technical aspects of the business. When it comes down to it, Nick is just a reseller of alcohol. If one of the regulars mentions that they like Joomlager[1], all he has to do is call the brewery and they'll handle the rest. After a little while, Nick decides that his six months experience behind a bar qualifies him for greater things. He's heard that the cool kids are all drinking artesanal, micro-brewed Python Ale these days, so thinking to himself how hard can it be?, Nick throws syrup, yeast and water into a big bucket next to the bar (reading up on how to do it properly is too boring for Nick), and after a week or so, he's got a sludgy mess for his trouble. Great!, thinks Nick. I can sell this no problem. Unsurprisingly, Nick's beer is awful. His customers aren't that fussy (they're in Nick's bar, after all), but the stuff doesn't even seem to get you even slightly merry, and a couple of people have gotten ill after drinking it. Undaunted, Nick decides to stick at it. He still can't be bothered to learn anything about fermentation or any of that boring crap, but that's okay, because he's discovered the local Python Ale Brewing Club. The PABC is a friendly, helpful bunch, and a lot of the members really know their stuff. For example, when Nick asks how do I avoid letting that scummy residue into the glass when I dunk it into the bucket to serve someone?, they try to explain to him that a) serving directly from the same bucket he brewed in is a bad idea, and b) if he'd brewed it right, there shouldn't be any scummy residue in the first place. Of course, Nick doesn't have time for any of that - he just wants an answer to his question. He resolutely ignores anyone who tells him things like anyone could spit (or worse) in that open bucket; you need to think about safety, and if someone tells him he should add malt to improve the flavour, he just throws some ovaltine into the bucket he's serving from, along with any half-finished drinks left by his customers. Meanwhile, a lot of the members of the PABC are getting tired of Nick asking the same questions over and over again, and not listening to the answers - and especially his casual disregard for the safety of his customers. They're enthusiasts, after all, and he's the kind of guy that gives drinking establishments a bad name. So, one night just before closing time, one of them pours bright green food dye into Nick's bucket - nothing that would hurt anyone, but something that Nick couldn't fail to notice before opening up the next day. It's a little sketchy to adulterate his product like that, but he's proved impervious to everyone's attempts to get him to take safety seriously - maybe *this* will shock him into action. Sure enough, the next morning Nick starts crying about how someone has poisoned his beer. It's okay though; he's covered the bucket with a wet towel, and he challenges anyone to get past what he believes is his now-perfect security. - - - In other words: you weren't hacked.

What this means is that rather than writing functions that check whether arguments passed to that function are of a specific type, the function should simply use any methods of those arguments it requires; that way the function will still work if passed an argument whose type is a custom type defined by the user which has the right interface so that the function body still makes sense (if it quacks like a duck, then the function might as well treat it like a duck). If a user passes an argument which doesn't have the right methods then the function will fail, but the traceback that the interpreter provides will often have enough information to make it clear why it failed. (see http://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-duck-typing ) So the upside of duck-typing is clear. But as you've already discovered, so is the downside: Python's dynamic nature means that there's no way for the interpreter to know what kind of arguments a function will accept, and so a user of any function relies on the function having clear documentation. There are several ways to document a function; apart from comments, functions also have docstrings, which will be displayed, along with the function's signature, when you call help(function). A docstring is a string literal which occurs as the first statement of a function definition, like this: def foo(x, y = 2): '''This function takes an argument x, which should be iterable, and a function y, which should be a numeric type. It does nothing.''' pass If I call help(foo), I get this: Help on function foo in module __main__: foo(x, y=2) This function takes an argument x, which should be iterable, and a function y, which should be a numeric type. It does nothing. In Python 3.0 and later, functions can also have annotations; they have no semantics in the language itself but third-party modules can use them if they choose to do so. They look like this: def foo(x: str, y: int = 2, z: 'Hello' = None) - tuple: return a, b, c For more about annotations, see here: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3107/ So the short answer is that Python gives you several methods for making it clear what kind of arguments the functions you define should be passed, but unfortunately you'll likely encounter functions written by people who made no use of those methods. On the plus side, Python's exception reporting is good, so if in doubt just try using a function in the interactive interpreter and see what happens (with the usual caveats about using untrusted code, obviously). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Is the recommendation to have comments for each function describing the
expected args?
Here is an example from the stdlib.
print(int.__doc__)
int(x=0) - integer
int(x, base=10) - integer
Convert a number or string to an integer, or return 0 if no arguments
are given. If x is a number, return x.__int__(). For floating point
numbers, this truncates towards zero.
If x is not a number or if base is given, then x must be a string,
bytes, or bytearray instance representing an integer literal in the
given base. The literal can be preceded by '+' or '-' and be surrounded
by whitespace. The base defaults to 10. Valid bases are 0 and 2-36.
Base 0 means to interpret the base from the string as an integer literal.
int('0b100', base=0)
4
help(int) prints the above plus the int methods.
Functions coded in Python should not have the signature in the doc
string because help() can get it from the function object itself.
def f(a, b=3, *, c='abc'):
'''return (a + b) / len(c)
a and b (default 3) are numbers.
c must be a sequence (default 'abc').'''
help(f)
Help on function f in module __main__:
f(a, b=3, *, c='abc')
return (a + b) / len(c)
a and b (default 3) are numbers.
c must be a sequence (default 'abc').
