Psyco 64 bits

2009-07-09 Thread Luis P. Mendes
Hi,

I used Psyco to speed up my Python code.
Due to the great amount of data I have to proccess, I moved my Linux 
system to a 64 bits version with more RAM.

It seems that Psyco cannot be used in such platforms.
Or is there another version of Psyco for 64 bits platform?

I googled and arrived to PyPy.  But I don't know how to use it.
With psyco, I used to include two statements roughly at the beginning of 
the script:
import psyco
psyco.full()

With PyPy, is there a similar way to try to speed up my script?

I really need Psyco (use version 1.6 - forgot to mention earlier) to 
speed up the code.
The part that consumes more memory is the one that needs Psyco the most.

psycopg2 faster way to retrieve last x records

2006-11-07 Thread Luis P. Mendes
Hi,

I would like to know if there is a better way to do what I'm already doing
as stated in the following example, when using psycopg2 with PostgresQL.
...
nr_bars_before = 200
tabela = 'seconds'
sqlString = "SELECT * FROM " + tabela + " ORDER BY tempounix;"
curs = self.conn.cursor()
curs.execute(sqlString)
try:
while 1:
curs.scroll(1,mode='relative')
except: pass
curs.scroll(-int(math.fabs(nr_bars_before)),mode='relative')
row = curs.fetchone()
curs.close()
...

What I need is to get the last 200
records from the table, each couple minutes.  As stated,
what I do is to go all the way through the table records until the end,
then going back 200 in order to select all of them (those 200) forward
down to the last one.

But it takes a lot of time to do it.  I mean some seconds.  And it brings
some 'heavy' work on disk.  The table 'seconds' has 54+ lines right
now. 

Can I do something different in order to have a lighter load on the system
and a quicker response?

Ok, thanks. I already know where the problem was.

The a() method was just an example.  The real problem was elsewhere.

I had two methods with the same name, one at Cotacoes (the ancestor),
another one at CruzaEmas.

The method called at the __init__ of the ancestor was the one of the
daughter class, and not the one of the ancestor's, as I was expecting.
After changing the name of the latter, everything seems to be fine.

pyXLWriter - grid lines and if formula

2006-07-07 Thread Luis P. Mendes
Hi,

I know that pyExelerator is the supported project now, but I can't use
it because I'd need it to generate files from a web platform. Since I
can not save a file to a file-like object, I have to use pyXLWriter.

The problems are:
1- how to turn off/on the grid lines of each sheet?
2- I tried to build a simple 'if' formula but couldn't.  Is it my
problem or pyXLWriter's problem?  If the former, is it possible to post
an example?

Hi,

I'm building an intranet web server in Linux for around 40 windows
clients with Django.

The problem is that I want to build an excel file based on criteria
entered by the client, that the client must be able do download to his
personal work space.  I use pyExcelerator to create the Excel files.

How can I do it?  Do I need another excel generator?

Client's information about its working directory should be read, but
how?  I could only find the way to read the server environment

Errors occur when I assign the result of ''.join(cp for cp in de_str if
not unicodedata.category(cp).startswith('M')) to a variable.  The same
happens with de_str.  When I print the strings everything is ok.

Here's a short example of data:
115448,DAÇÃO
117788,DA 1º DE MO Nº 2

I used the following script to convert the data:
# -*- coding: iso8859-15 -*-

class Latin1ToAscii:

def abreFicheiro(self):
import csv
self.reader = csv.reader(open(self.input_file, "rb"))

def converter(self):
import unicodedata
self.lista_csv = []
for row in self.reader:
s = unicode(row[1],"latin-1")
de_str = unicodedata.normalize("NFD", s)
nome = ''.join(cp for cp in de_str if not \
unicodedata.category(cp).startswith('M'))

linha_ascii = row[0] + "," + nome  # *
print linha_ascii.encode("ascii")
self.lista_csv.append(linha_ascii)


def __init__(self):
self.input_file = 'nome_latin1.csv'
self.output_file = 'nome_ascii.csv'

if __name__ == "__main__":
f = Latin1ToAscii()
f.abreFicheiro()
f.converter()


And I got the following result:
$ python latin1_to_ascii.py
115448,DACAO
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "latin1_to_ascii.py", line 44, in ?
f.converter()
  File "latin1_to_ascii.py", line 22, in converter
print linha_ascii.encode("ascii")
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xba' in
position 11: ordinal not in range(128)


The script converted the ÇÃ from the first line, but not the º from the
second one.  Still in *, I also don't get a list as [115448,DAÇÃO] but a
[u'115448,DAÇÃO'] element, which doesn't suit my needs.

Would you mind telling me what should I change?

Thank you very much for your info.  It's a very good aproach.

When I used the "NFD" option, I came across many errors on these and
possibly other codes: \xba, \xc9, \xcd.

I tried to use "NFKD" instead, and the number of errors was only about

ascii to latin1

2006-05-08 Thread Luis P. Mendes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I'm developing a django based intranet web server that has a search page.

Data contained in the database is mixed.  Some of the words are
accented, some are not but they should be.  This is because the
collection of data  began a long time ago when ascii was the only way to go.

The problem is users have to search more than once for some word,
because the searched word can be or not be accented.  If we consider
that some expressions can have several letters that can be accented, the
search effort is too much.

I've searched the net for some kind of solution but couldn't find.  I've
just found for the opposite.

example:
if the word searched is 'televisão', I want that a search by either
'televisao', 'televisão' or even 'télévisao' (this last one doesn't
exist in Portuguese) is successful.

So, instead of only one search, there will be several used.

Is there anything already coded, or will I have to try to do it all by
myself?

Thank you for your answers.

I'm beggining to suspect that the problem has to do with a discontinual
of service of the ISP.  It provides me a dynamic IP address not a static
one.

I say this because after some hours, I returned to the computer and
could not acess the internet for surfing port 80 and the socket was also
down again - it just uses another port.

After unplugging the power cord of the cable modem from the internet and
pluging it in after a while, I could already access sites (http).  But
the socket was still down, still with no error raised.

Based on this hypothesis, is there any way for my python program to deal
with this?  Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

socket freezes

2006-03-03 Thread Luis P. Mendes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've developed a program that uses a socket to receive information 24h a
~ day.

The problem is that the socket seems to freeze.  By that I mean the
program stops getting information but doesn't raise any error.

I tried to solve this by writing the following functions, in order to
try to start the socket connection again:

def keepAlive(self):
~self.alive = 0
~tnow = time.time()
~if tnow - self.lastTime > 90:   # last time got from last string
received from the socket
~self.alive = 1

def reSocket():
~print "socket has failed", time.strftime('%X', time.localtime())
~time.sleep(60)
~l=GServer()# new instance that contains the socket

reSocket is triggered when self.alive is 1.

But it hasn't solved my problem.  These functions have effect only after
I do a ^C, and even then, the socket doesn't start to acquire new input.

Any clues you can give me about this?

Thank you for your answer.

In python, I use float data type to deal with time values (from
time.time()), for example.

In Postgresql, the unix time field was set up as real.  I've changed it
to double precision and it runs fine, now.

psycopg2 rounds unix time

2006-02-05 Thread Luis P. Mendes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've inserted a couple hundred rows in a table in Postgres via psycopg2.

The first field of each row is a certain unix time (since epoch) when an
event occured.
When I try to access that database with psycopg2, I get rounded values
for the unix time field.

example:
unix time inserted at first row: 1138839839.64456
unix time as retrieved in psql: 1.13884e+09
unix time retrieved by psycopg2: 113884.0

Is this a bug?

I'm using:
Python 2.3.5
in a Debian Sarge box
PostgreSQL 7.4.7
psycopg2-2.0b6

nested tuples

2005-09-09 Thread Luis P. Mendes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I'm trying to solve this problem:

suppose I'm reading a csv file and want to create a tuple of all those
rows and values, like ((row1value1, row1value2, row1value3),(row2value1,
row2value2, row2value3),..., (rowNvalue1, rowNvalue2, rowNvalue3))

I haven't found the way to do it just using tuples.  How can I do it?

Nevertheless, I can solve it like this:
a=[]

for row in reader:
~   elem = (row[0],row[1],row[2])
~   a.append(elem)

which will result in a list of tuples: [(row1value1, row1value2,
row1value3),(row2value1, row2value2, row2value3),..., (rowNvalue1,
rowNvalue2, rowNvalue3)]

Then, I get what I want with tuple(a).

I'll be using Apache, under Linux.
The db server will be under my admin.
A dozen clients acessing the db.
For the first project:
Three or four of them will be using queries mainly from three tables with:
table 1: 350 lines x 20 cols
table 2: 350 lines x 6 cols
table 3: 4200 lines x  5 cols
as an estimate.

Other clients will be very light users but need easy web interface for mouse
clicks only.

Thank you for your support and excuse me for my ignorance, but I'm starting
the project and would like to start it in the right direction.

Simplest code with be an important factor, since the db will be used far
from max capabilities.  Ease of use of the web page by clients is also a
main factor.

I need to build it from the server and also client side.

For the client side I'll be using Python.

But for the server side, I would like to hear some opinions.  Is it worth
learning Php?

Could someone tell me the pros and cons of assessing the PostgreSQL

I will need to build a database that has to be assessed by a dozen clients

Is Python more used on the client side and PHP on the server side?

The reason why I'm using six nested for loops is because I need to find
the best output using those six variables as input.

Here's the simplified code:

for per in range():
~for s in range():
~for t in range():
for v in range():
~for n in range():
~for l in range():
var a, \
var b, \
...
var 15 = function1(arg1, \
...
arg20)
~   var a, \
var d, \
var a, \
...
var 14 = function2(arg1, \
...
arg25)
var c, \
...
var 18 = function3(arg1, \
...
arg20)
ia = var1*var2-numPerdidos*sl

result.insert(index, [per,s,t,v,n,l,ia])
index = index + 1

I've searched the net for ways to speed up the proccess.

Psyco improves performance around 3% in this case which is not good enough.

How can I dramatically improve speed?

I tried to find some tool that converts Python to C automatically but
couldn't.  As I don't know C, I think that weave and PyInline for

xml parsing escape characters

2005-01-19 Thread Luis P. Mendes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I only know a little bit of xml and I'm trying to parse a xml document
in order to save its elements in a file (dictionaries inside a list).
When I access a url from python 2.3.3 running in Linux with the
following lines:
resposta = urllib.urlopen(url)
xmldoc = minidom.parse(resposta)
resposta.close()
I get the following result:

http://www..";>
~  
~439
(... others ...)
~  

_
In the lines below, I try to get all the child nodes from string, first
by counting them, and then ignoring the /n ones:
stringNode = xmldoc.childNodes[0]
print stringNode.toxml()
dataSetNode = stringNode.childNodes[0]
numNos = len(dataSetNode.childNodes)
todosNos={}
for no in range(numNos):
todosNos[no] = dataSetNode.childNodes[no].toxml()
posicaoXml = [no for no in todosNos.keys() if len(todosNos[no])>4]
print posicaoXml
(I'm almost sure there's a simpler way to do this...)
_
I don't get any elements.  But, if I access the same url via a browser,
the result in the browser window is something like:
http://www..";>
~  
~
~  439
(... others ...)
~
~  

and the lines I posted work as intended.
I already browsed the web, I know it's about the escape characters, but
I didn't find a simple solution for this.
I tried to use LL2XML.py and unescape function with a simple replace
text = text.replace("<", "<")
but I had to convert the xml document to string and then I could not (or
don't know) how to convert it back to xml object.
How can I solve this?  Please, explain it having in mind that I'm just
beggining with Xml and I'm not very experienced in Python, too.
