Thanks, this looks better and I indeed think it is important. The "del ..."
line looks ugly.

I'm using Python 2.7.10, but this also works there, so, I replace it with your
suggestion.
And before you tell me that python 2.7 is old, the thing is that I'm writing a
pluging for Gimp and this is the version they distribute :-(
Thanks for your valuable help

RE: Need to pass a class instance to a gettext fallback
Hi Peter
Your code worked, but I did some changes. First of all: I decided that I don't
really needed to pass the py_plugin instance. I only needed an attribute
called: self._language. Anyway, if I passed it without doing anything else, I
got:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'language'
In this call inside the MissingTranslationsFallback class.
super(MissingTranslationsFallback, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
The error is clear, the constructor of: "gettext.GNUTranslations" isn't
expecting an argument called: 'language', so, I removed it before doing the
call:
language = kwargs['language']
del kwargs['language']
super(MissingTranslationsFallback, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
And it worked. Thanks a lot for your help. Now it looks nice without those
nasty global variables :-)
Here the resulting code:
class TranslationService(object):
"""...__init__ and other methods are defined here"""
def install(self):
"""...some code goes here..."""
current_catalog = gettext.translation(plugin_name, localedir =
locale_folder,
class_=
functools.partial(
MissingTranslationsFallback,
language
= self._language
),
languages
= [current_language]
)
current_catalog.install()
class MissingTranslationsFallback(gettext.GNUTranslations, object):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
language = kwargs['language']
del kwargs['language']
super(MissingTranslationsFallback, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.add_fallback(MissingTranslationsLogger(language))

Provided the class_ argument to gettext.translation() accepts an arbitrary

Need to pass a class instance to a gettext fallback
Hi
I'm working with gettext and need to define a language Fallback. I got this
working, but with a global variable. I don't really like this and I would like
to pass this variable to the gettext Fallback's contructor, but I don't know
how. For simplicity, I won't put the whole code here, just the important parts.
Before you look at it, I want to ask you: how can I pass the variable:
"my_plugin" to the constructor of the "MissingTranslationsFallback" class? If
you see, an instance of this class will be created automatically by gettext. I
don't create it. When calling the " add_fallback" method of the
gettext.GNUTranslations class, you have to pass a class and not an instance.
#Defining a global dict, which is ugly, I know
MY_GLOBALS = {}
class TranslationService(object):
"""...__init__ and other methods are defined here"""
def install(self):
"""...some code goes here..."""
#Now the ugly part :-(
MY_GLOBALS['py_plugin'] = self._py_plugin
current_catalog = gettext.translation(plugin_name, localedir =
locale_folder,
class_= MissingTranslationsFallback, languages = [current_language])
current_catalog.install()
class MissingTranslationsFallback(gettext.GNUTranslations, object):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MissingTranslationsFallback, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
#And here is where I need to access py_plugin :-(
py_plugin = MY_GLOBALS['py_plugin']
i18n_service = py_plugin.get_i18n_service()
#Adds an instance to the class that will handle the missing translations
self.add_fallback(MissingTranslationsLogger(i18n_service.get_language()))
class MissingTranslationsLogger(gettext.NullTranslations):
def __init__(self, language):
self._language = language
self._missing = set()
def gettext(self, message):
if (message not in self._missing):
self._missing.add(message)
print "Missing message: " + message + " current language: " +
self._language
return message
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean interprocess communication? If so, then you could use the WM_CopyData message from the Windows API. However, this will only work if the two applications are running in the same machine and if at least one of them (the receiver) has a Window were to send the messages. I have been used the following application to comunicate two C# applications: * Simple Interprocess Communications using WM_COPYDATA http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/NET/Code/Libraries/Windows_Messages/Simple_Interprocess_Communication/article.asp However, the zip contains a VB.Net example as well. I haven't ever done this with python, so, I don't know how it works. However, you could take a look at the following thread, which discuss how to implement this with python: * PyWin SendMessage http://groups.google.ch/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/cf7412ec873cd265/c362e88d9e5d7e80 I have also tried other approaches, but they didn't work on my case, or they require you to have additional hardware (ie: a network card), or to install additional software (ie: Microsoft Windwos Message Queuing). However, they might work for you: * Windows Sockets may be the easiest solution and you can find several examples of this with google. In my case, I didn't use them 'cause they require my users to have a network card and my system is just a single user application with several processes running on the same machine. * Named Pipes, which are a feature of windows: - Inter-Process Communication in .NET Using Named Pipes, Part 1 http://ivanweb.com/articles/namedpipes/index.cfm - How to use named pipes for interprocess communication in Visual Basic .NET http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=871044 * Microsoft Windows Message Queuing (MSMQ) -> I don't have a VB/VB.NET example for this; only a C# example, but it may work in VB/VB.NET as well since if I'm not wrong, it also uses the Windows Api. Again, I didn't used it because it requires my users to install the MSMQ software from Microsoft, which is included with Windows. - Using MSMQ from C# http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/mgpMyQueue.asp Unfortunatelly, I don't have python examples, but since they use the Windows Api it may be possible to implement with the windows extensions for python.

Re: OpenSSL in Python

I think Sybren is allright here. After installing openssl, pyopenssl won't be a problem. So, if you want to install openssl, you could download the binaries for windows (google for them) or you could compile it from source, which is the best approach for this kind of libraries. The last approach is out of the scope of this list as Sybren said. You should try first to find the answer in the openssl documentation or in its official list. Then if you aren't able to compile it, then you have to ask there. If on the other hand, you have already installed openssl, but the pyopenssl fails to run, then you can first see if pyopenssl has a mailing list and ask there. On the contrary, you can ask here.

Re: Double replace or single re.sub?
Hi Iain,

I don't know if this is faster, but it is for sure more elegant:
http://groups.google.ch/group/comp.lang.python/msg/67b8767c793fb8b0
I really like it because of its simplicity an easy use. (Thanks to
Fredrik Lundh for the script). However, I suggested it once to replace
the approach you suggested in a web application we have, but it was
rejected because the person, who benchmarked it, said that it was OK for
small strings, but for larger ones performance were an issue. Anyway,
for my own applications, performance isn't an issue, so, I use it some
times.
By the way, the benchmarking, from which I don't have any information,
was done in python 2.1.3, so, for sure you will get a better performance
with 2.4.

My best guest is that the OP uses VB, where you can do that. I
personally hate this feature because it just makes me do a lot of
mistakes. ie: In VB you can do:
fooFunction fooParameter
but if you want to assign this to a variable you **must** use this:
fooVer = fooFunction(fooParaMeter)
I really get confused because I automatically use the braces.

You could try to do an addin/addon for Word, Excel, and Outlook. You don't need to code with VBA. Here you just need a language from where you can access the microsoft interop assemblies (ie: C++ or C#; IronPython maybe?) I'm now working in an addon for Visio, but I'm not using python. I'm using C#. The main idea is that we have an exe application, which creates a COM object, with the first running instance of visio (if some is found). Then, I use a class (event handler) to catch some events comming from visio (this is in part documented at the msdn). I even embebbed a windows form in Visio (it was an example in the sdk). So, I think in theory, you could do the same with python. I have heard you can somehow create COM objects there. You could also try the new version of python for net: IronPython. I guess you can from there access all the assemblies to interact with office: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook A good start is to see the SDK documentation of each office product you need at each developer center in www.msdn.microsoft.com Good luck, Josef -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: how to export data from ZODB to text files
Hi again,

I just found an information that may be useful for you:
* ZODB for Python Programmers By Michael Pelletier:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=23413&rl=1
* A Simple ZODB viewer in wxPython:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/409012
The first link contains some useful examples and explanations. The
second one could help you to see how your zodb is organized. In the
links that Peter post, there is also an useful powerpoint presentation.
According to the first link, the ZODB is a persistent dictionary that
you can access like:
>>> db = DB(storage)
>>> connection = db.open()
>>> root = connection.root()
If I'm not wrong, you could see what objects are in root of your zodb by
doing:
>>> print root.keys()
After that you could get your plone site by doing:
>>> ploneSite = root['ploneFolder']
Where if I'm not wrong, "ploneFolder" may be a key in the root
dictionary. Then if plone is like CMF, it must have a "portal_catalog"
instance in it, so, you can get it by:
>>> catalog = getattr(ploneSite,'portal_catalog',None)
If at this point catalog = None, then you have to print the objects in
the plone site by doing:
>>> print ploneSite.objectIds()
Once you find the catalog object, you could try the script I post before
from the command line.
I haven't tested this, but I hope it helps.

I have to say it would be interesting to do something like that with
ZODB. Specially if you only have the Data.fs and don't have access to
the original Plone site. But I don't know how to do it. You may ask in

I haven't done that with Plone, but with CMF, which is the base of
Plone. So, I guess it would be almost the same. You even don't need
the product Peter suggested; you could do a python script inside your
plone site, which searches all the objects you want and print it in
form of a pipe '|' delimited list. Then, once you define your tables
in mysql, you can import the data by copying the output of your
script and saving it into a text file. This is how my script looks like:
catalog=context.portal_catalog
jobs=catalog(
{
'meta_type': 'Internship'
}
)
OID = 1
for metaJob in jobs:
jobData=catalog.getobject(metaJob.data_record_id_)
print "%i|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|" % \
(OID,
jobData.companyName,
jobData.companyVision,
jobData.description,
jobData.positionOffered,
jobData.jobProfile,
jobData.contact,
jobData.country)
OID += 1
return printed
Off course, this only work assuming that your fields aren't files like
images or PDFs.

Re: check interpreter version before running script
Is there a recommended or 'Best Practices' way of checking the version of python before running scripts? I have scripts that use the os.walk() feature (introduced in 2.3) and users running 2.2 who get errors. Instead of telling them, 'Upgrade you Python Install, I'd like to use sys.version or some other way of checking before running. Whatever I do, I need it to work on Linux, Mac and Windows. I thought of sys.version... but getting info out of it seems awkward to me. First 5 chars are '2.4.1' in string format have to split it up and convert it to ints to do proper checking, etc. It doesn't seem that sys.version was built with this type of usage in mind. So, what is the *best* most correct way to go about this? What's about: >>> import sys >>> print sys.version_info (2, 1, 3, 'final', 0) Regards, Josef -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Web framework
Hi Joe, Not wrong. I am aware of this, but it's not like that many development tools can work through FTP or WebDav... Besides, how to have the source code under source control if it's stuck in the ZODB? I guess you are reffering to "Python Scripts" and "ZClasses", which indeed are stuck in the ZODB. But in fact you can write external python products for zope, which reside on your file system. What is stuck in the ZODB would be the instances of those products.

Re: capturing text from a GUI window

Earl Assuming Windows, then these guys have an interesting tool: http://www.skesoft.com/textcatch.htm It's not free, but you can try it before you buy it. You will need COM to control it from Python.

Re: split a directory string into a list
The most obvious case where it wouldn't work would be for a UNC path name. Using the string split method gives two empty strings: os.path.normpath(r'\\machine\share').split(os.path.sep) ['', '', 'machine', 'share'] whereas the splitpath function I proposed gives you: splitpath(r'\\machine\share') ['', 'machine', 'share'] So to find out the type of path (relative, absolute, unc), you only have to consider the first element with my function but you have to look at the first two elements if you just naively split the string. Thanks for the explanation. I forgot that you could do thinks like that on windows. Also a relative windows path with a drive letter doesn't get fully split: os.path.normpath(r'c:dir\file').split(os.path.sep) ['c:dir', 'file'] splitpath(r'c:dir\file') ['c:', 'dir', 'file'] Again, I forgot it. If you really are worried about speed (and are sure you aren't optimising prematurely), then you could combine some special case processing near the start of the string with a simple split of the remainder. No, I'm not worried about speed. Actually, the original post wasn't mine. I was just curious about your answer. Regards, Josef -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: split a directory string into a list
Hi Duncan,
This should work reasonably reliably on Windows and Unix:
somestring = '/foo/bar/beer/sex/cigarettes/drugs/alcohol/'
os.path.normpath(somestring).split(os.path.sep)
['', 'foo', 'bar', 'beer', 'sex', 'cigarettes', 'drugs', 'alcohol']
However a better solution is probably to call os.path.split repeatedly
until it won't split anything more:
somestring = r'C:\foo\bar\beer'
def splitpath(p):
res = []
while 1:
p, file = os.path.split(p)
if not file:
break
res.append(file)
res.append(p)
res.reverse()
return res
splitpath(somestring)
['C:\\', 'foo', 'bar', 'beer']
splitpath('foo/bar')
['', 'foo', 'bar']
The first component is an empty string for relative paths, a drive letter
or \ for absolute Windows paths, \\ for UNC paths, / for unix absolute
paths.
I don't understand why the second approach is better than the first
one. In my opinion it is the contrary:
On the first approach, you only scan the string twice:
when you do "os.path.normpath(somestring)" and finally when splitting
the string. On the other hand, the second approach goes through the
string several times, when doing the os.path.split. Finally when doing
the res.reverse(). Or am I wrong? I also saw you said:
"This should work ***reasonably*** reliably on Windows and Unix". Are
there any cases when it does not work?

Josef
