Re: Python multithreading on cluster system? Embedding python in PVM?
abhinav wrote: Hi guys.I have read that one cannot perform true multithreading in python due to global interpreter lock mechanism.Suppose i have to implement a crawler on a say cluster system like clusterknoppix so that i can use parallel virtual machine (PVM)for programming in multiprocessor environment or say open MPI.Can i integrate python with PVM or MPI.Can i embed python into C for programming in multiprocessor environment.Is there any way of embedding python in PVM or MPI so that i can implement a true cluster based search engine? Any help would be very kind.Thanks. http://pypvm.sourceforge.net --Armin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Match First Sequence in Regular Expression?

Hello Roger,

Yes, i misunderstood your requirements. So it must be modified
essentially to that what Tim Chase wrote:
m = re.search('^[^a]*a{3}b', 'xyz123aabbaaab')
...but that rejects 'aazaaab' which should apparently be accepted.
... and that is OK. That was the request:
I'm looking for a regular expression that matches the first, and only
the first, sequence of the letter 'a', and only if the length of the
sequence is exactly 3.

Re: pyvm -- faster python
Stelios Xanthakis wrote: Kay Schluehr wrote: Yes. What we are seeking for and this may be the meaning of Armins intentiously provocative statement about the speed of running HLLs is a successor of the C-language and not just another VM interpreter that is written in C and limits all efforts to extend it in a flexible and OO-manner. Python is just the most promising dynamic OO-language to follow this target. Bytecode engine is the best method for dynamic code execution (exec, eval, etc). A low level OOP language would be very suitable for a python VM. pyvm has that. A big part of it is written in lightweight C++ [1]. Realy ? I have downloaded the lwc distribution and checked it out. It was a surprise that none of the examples are working. I'm using SuSE 9.0 with gcc 3.3.1 ... Is there a working version of lwc ??? Regards Armin That makes it less portable as the lwc preprocessor is using GNU-C extensions. However, it's the same extensions also used by the linux kernel and AFAIK the intel compiler supports them too. So probably the bigger competitor of pyvm is boost-python. And that's one reason the release of the source is stalled until it gets better. Stelios [1] http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~sxanth/lwc/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: GIL release

CTYPE 0.9.2 porting problems
Hi all, I ported ctypes 0.9.2 to QNX6.3 ... 99.9 % is working but only the unittest test_functions.py makes some problem.
