pygame and python 2.5
@Ben Sizer Hi Ben, in January I received your message re Pygame and Python 2.5: pygame and python 2.5 Ben Sizer kylotan at gmail.com Fri Jan 12 11:01:00 CET 2007 siggi wrote: when I rtry to install pygame (pygame-1.7.1release.win32-py2.4.exe, the most ciurrent version I found) it requires Python 2.4! Will I really have to uninstall my Python 2.5 and install the old Python 2.4 in order to use pygame? For now, yes. This is a long-standing problem with Python really, requiring extensions to always be recompiled for newer versions. I usually have to wait about 6 months to a year after any new release before I can actually install it, due to the extension lag. -- Ben Sizer As a Python (and programming ) newbie allow me a - certainly naive - question: What is this time consuming part of recompiling an extension, such as Pygame, from source code to Windows? Is it a matter of spare time to do the job? Or do you have to wait for some Windows modules that are necessary for compiling? I am just asking for sake of scientific interest; building, compiling from source code is a mystery to me poor Windows user ;-) Thank you, siggi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

what is wrong?
siggi
(Sorry for the long post!)
Unfortunately I can't comment on this 5.0/5.1 issue but if you look at
page
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~parente/tech/tr02.shtml
you'll find the pyTTS system. I've used it and everything works.
The funny thing is that the page has a link named Microsoft SAPI 5.1
redistributable which links to
http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/assist/packages/SAPI5SpeechInstaller.msi
ie. a SAPI 5 installer. So I'm starting to wonder if it matters at all
whether the speech kit is a version 5 or 5.1.
Anyway: pyTTS works with Python 2.4 as advertized in the accompanying
examples. I've used it to resolve the following dilemma: how to guarantee
that I'm aware of new mail appearing on my ISP.
I had an unfortunate experience where a guy I was working with sent me (to
my home) mail that I didn't expect to receive just at the moment and to
which I would have liked to react immediately. Why I didn't notice the
mail coming: I was outside my house pumping more air to my wife's bicycle
tires! The mail notification was shown and erased and one more icon among
the more than dozen icons on my Windows System Tray didn't account for
much.
So I figured out that a voice to remind me would be nice. I have a low
rate inbox, usually only a maximum of hald a dozen messages per day so I
wouldn't have to listen the voice all day long. So the voice keeps
repeating that I have new mail at my ISP until I download the mail and
otherwise keeps quiet. So here is my program and a skeleton of the INI
file it uses. The program is not finished (I have a few ideas still) but
it runs all day long on my computer keeping me happy.

where is Microsoft Speech Object Library 5.1 option in PythonWin 2.5?
Hi all, newbie question: I'd like to try speech synthesis with PythonWin 2.5. Problem ** according to several instructions, such as found on http://surguy.net/articles/speechrecognition.xml and in a book on Python, I have to select Tools | COM MakePy Utility | Microsoft Speech Object Library 5.1, SDK 5.1, that is. However, in my Python 2.5/PythonWin 2.5 installation I find as only option Microsoft Speech Object Library 5.0 to select. Unfortunately, 5.1 is the lowest SDK version I found on http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5E86EC97-40A7-453F-B0EE-6583171B4530displaylang=en#QuickInfoContainer Will this PythonWin's Tools | COM MakePy Utility for 5.0 work with SDK 5.1? Or will PythonWin's Tools | COM MakePy Utility be updated to SDK 5.1, once I have SDK 5.1 installed? Thanks, Siggi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

pow() works but sqrt() not!?
Hi all, this is a newbie question on : Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 PC with WinXP In http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-math.html I read: sqrt( x) Return the square root of x. Now the test for module math with function pow(): --- pow(9,9) 387420489 Fine, but sqrt() fails: --- sqrt(9) I get this error message 'Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#3, line 1, in module sqrt(9) NameError: name 'sqrt' is not defined' Same for sin() and cos(). Import math does not help. Will I have to define the sqrt() function first? If so, how? Please help! Thank you, Siggi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: pow() works but sqrt() not!?
Thank you very much, Tõnis!: *** 1 *** you forgot to import math module import math Nope, I did not! But I used sqrt(9), and not math.sqrt(9). The latter works excellent, thank you! From now on, I will use import math and math.fuction() for EVERY mathematical function, even for pow() etc. just to be on the safe side! *** 2 *** if you want math functions to your current namespace use: from math import * What is a namespace and what is the difference between import math and from math import * ?

Thank you Tõnis, both for the link and your patient explanation :-) Siggi tonisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want math functions to your current namespace use: from math import *What is a namespace and what is the difference between import math and from math import * ? for namespaces read this http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/tut_68.html import math creates new namespace math for names in that module, so you can acess them by prefixing them with math, like math.sqrt(9). from math import * imports all names to your local scope, so you do not have to prefix them, sqrt(9) -- Tõnis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: pow() works but sqrt() not!?
Thanks for the explanation. I am astonished what an interpreted language is able to do! Fredrik Lundh [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] siggi wrote: Nope, I did not!

From now on, I will use import math and math.fuction() for EVERY mathematical function, even for pow() etc. just to be on the safe side! pow and math.pow are two slightly different things, though. pow() works on any type that supports power-of operations (via the __pow__ hook), while math.pow treats everything as a 64-bit float: math.pow(2, 200) 1.6069380442589903e+060 pow(2, 200) 1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376L pow also takes a third modulo argument (pow(x,y,z) is equivalent to pow(x,y) % z, but can be implemented more efficiently for certain data types). /F -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks for that, too! Would be interesting to learn how these different algorithms influence the precision of the result!?
