Newbie OOP Question & Code Snippet
Hi All,
I'm a newbie just learning Python, using a couple of books to learn the
language. (Books: "Visual Quickstart Guide - Python, 2nd Ed", "Practical
Programming - An Intro to Computer Science using Python"). I'm just now
learning OOP material as presented in both books -- I'm new to this
approach -- the last formal language I learned was Fortran77 -- :o) I am
running Python 3.2.1 on Mac OS/X 10.6.8.
My problem stems from a simple example in the Visual Quickstart book. The
code is:
#person.py
class Person:
"""Class to represent a person"""
def __init__(self):
self.name=' '
self.age=0
def display(self):
print("Person('%s', age)" %
(self.name, self.age))
-
When I run this, the shell presents thus:
>>> RESTART
>>>
>>> p=Person()
>>> p.name='Bob'
>>> p.age=24
>>> p.display()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
p.display()
File "/Volumes/dean_richardson/GoFlex Home Personal/Dean's
Code/Python3.x/Person.py", line 9, in display
(self.name, self.age))
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
>>>
---
I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't see it. Any help appreciated!
Regards,
Dean

Pythonw.exe randomly crashing
Hi, I have a python application I wrote that is randomly crashing, I was wondering if anyone else has ran into this error, or if anyone has any idea about how to fix it. This is currently running under Windows server 2008 R2 x64 in terminal services, with Python 2.6.4 x64 installed. I ran into this problem with previous versions of Python on windows 2003 server running under 32 bit. I have been unable to duplicate the error under a devolvement platform. The application is a simple GUI used for time clock stations on a shop floor; it has a multithreaded GUI which displays some rotating informational images. A Text box that displays a constantly updating clock, and a text box that accepts employee clock number input and one that displays results returned from a background thread that runs a telnet session to a server. I can't really tell you where the error is occurring within the actual code, as it takes days of the application running to happen. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get it to give me more information about the crash?

Sorry, basically I was just using configparser to pull sets of
variables and equations to calculate the clearing time of a circuit
breaker. As each device is slightly different and I like the structure
of the configparser I decided it'd be an acceptable way to do this.
The thing is that I wanted to have the relay settings in the first
section, then have sections for different protection settings, all of
these have a few input parameters and an output for clearing time. The
user will select the config file for the relay they want and therefore
not all the settings will be the same, I know this isn't the intended
use of the configparser but I thought it'd be much easier for people
to run from their hdd, just a folder of conf files that can be edited
or expanded on with relative ease.
In order to accommodate for all the different configurations I thought
I would have (as my code was showing but poorly explained) the
variable name in the config file (these will be standardised to a
degree) set to be either a set value or a selectable range in which
the program will ask the user to select a value from the range. One
relay may have a value for overload that is a percentage of the CT
value while others may have a selected full load current which is used
for everything so having all the input variables and then the equation
to output the clearing time means that I can ask for the input values
and evaluate the equation. Or at least I would be able to if I could
output them in order?
Thanks

ConfigParser.items sorting
Hi,
Just wondering how I can get the items() command from ConfigParser to
not resort all the item pairs that it presents.
I am trying to get it to read some data in order:
[Relay Info]
relay_name: IPC
relay_current_range: [60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100,
104, 108, 112, 116]
relay_current_mutliplier: [1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4]
relay_i: arcfc/(relay_current_range*relay_current_mutliplier)
so I can input the data and then eval() the equation at the end but
when I go
config.items('Relay Info')
It mixes everything up, is there a way to stop this?
Here is my selection code
variables = sorted(config.items('Relay Info'))
#Get inputs from user for each variable
for variable in variables:
if variable[0] == 'relay_name':
vars()[variable[0]] = variable[1]
else:
vars()[variable[0]] = 'not a real thing this is just a fake that
will never turn up to establish the variable'
if variable[1][0] == '[' and variable[1][-1] == ']':
if variable[0] != 'Any':
while (variable[1].count(vars()[variable[0]]) <
1):
vars()[variable[0]] =
raw_input(str(variable)[1:-1] + "\n")
if
variable[1].count(vars()[variable[0]]) < 1:
print 'Setting unavailable'
else:
vars()[variable[0]] =
raw_input(str(variable)[1:-1] + "\n")
else:
vars()[variable[0]] = variable[1]
vars()[variable[0]] = float(eval(vars()[variable[0]]))
Thanks for the help!

ply and threads
I have two threads that exchange information by passing messages. I wanted to parse those messages with ply. I'd prefer using two independent parsers so that I can avoid using locks. Can somebody explain how to do this with ply? Ply seems to be doing a lot of odd things, such as reading the the python file that imported it, reading doc strings of it's functions, etc, so I'm not sure how to make this thread safe. This is from yacc.py: # The current implementation is only somewhat object-oriented. The # LR parser itself is defined in terms of an object (which allows multiple # parsers to co-exist). However, most of the variables used during table # construction are defined in terms of global variables. Users shouldn't # notice unless they are trying to define multiple parsers at the same # time using threads (in which case they should have their head examined). It would seem that creating two parsers in the main thread, and then passing one of them to the other thread, is all I need to do to be thread safe? But then again I'm not even sure how to create two parsers. Examples I've seen just call yacc.yacc() at the end, and do not even access yacc instances. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Matplotlib change xticks and retain xticks changing during zoom
Hello, I execute the following code: try: from math import * import pylab as p except: print "Couldn't import all dependent libraries" sys.exit() dataLength = 100 data = [sin(2*pi*x/dataLength) for x in range(0,dataLength)] p.plot(data) p.show() This produces a figure window. When I zoom in regions of the plot, the xticks change correctly to the zoomed region. This is in contrast to the effect of the following code: try: from math import * import pylab as p except: print "Couldn't import all dependent libraries" sys.exit() dataLength = 100 data = [sin(2*pi*x/dataLength) for x in range(0,dataLength)] p.plot(data) newXTicks= [str(x/2.0) for x in p.xticks()[0]] p.xticks(p.xticks()[0], newXTicks) p.show() This code produces tick marks [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50].

Basic question about sockets and security
Hi all, I'm just starting out in sockets/network programming, and I have a very basic question...what are the 'security' implications of opening up a socket? For example, suppose I've written a simple chat server and chat client. The server opens a socket, listens on a port, and accepts incoming connections. The clients open a socket and connect to the server. If the server receives a message from a client, it sends that message out to every client. When a client receives a message, it places it in a text widget. So...are there inherent dangers in doing this? I have no real security concern in the actual application, but can an open socket somehow allow someone access to the rest of the computer? Is the 'security' of the socket handled at the OS level (or within the socket module)? I realize this isn't necessarily a Python question, but I wrote my application in Python and I'm not sure where to start. I'll repost this elsewhere if someone points me towards a more relevant group. Thanks, Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
urlopen
Hi all, I'm running into some trouble using urllib.urlopen to grab a page from our corporate intranet. The name of the internal site is simply http://web (no www or com). I can use urlopen to grab a site like http://www.google.com just fine. However, when I use urlopen to grab the internal site, I instead get data from http://www.web.com. This is the url returned by the geturl() function. There must be a way to stop Python, or whoever is doing it, from changing my url. Maybe urllib is not the correct approach.

Python Based API
Hi, I work on a project that is built entirely using python and Tkinter. We are at the point where we would like to give access to our functionality to others via some sort of API. People who would use our API develop in all kinds of languages from C/C++ to Pascal. Ideas that come to mind that allow us to build such an API are: 1) Require others to imbed the python interpreter via the c API to be able to utilize our functionality. 2) Build an XML RPC interface around our code. 3) Rewrite our code base in C/C++, which should make it accessible to all modern languages. I'm looking for more and potentially better ideas that will allow us to offer an API to our customers without having to throw away or redo a lot of the python code that we have already written.

Pythonic way to condese my array
I have a list of dictionaries where each dictionary defines, among other
things, a row and column number. So, my list might look like this:
[{'row':1, 'column':1, otherdata}, {'row':1, 'column':2, 'otherdata}...]
This data is passed to flash and used there to create a grid of objects that
are placed based on the row and column values.
For a given set of data I may have values column values in the range of 1, 9
inclusive.
What I would like to do is take my list of dictionaries (like the one listed
above) and shift the column numbers down to fill in missing values...
example (only the column key,value pair is show for simplification):
[{'column':1}, {'column':2}, {'column', 4}, {'column': 8}, {'column':2},
{'column', 4}]
If this were the dataset... I would want to change all 4s to 3 and all 8s to
4. That way I end up with 1 ... 4 instead of 1, 2, 4, and 8.
Is there some slick way to do this?

thanks for the reply. I have been able to use the Image.PERSPECTIVE
transform via trial and error to get it to work properly for each transform.
What I am really looking for I guess is a way to calculate the 8 int tuple
to match the perspective change I am going for. For a given image there may
be 5 elements that need to be 'painted' on with perspective. A database
table will include the transform tuples based on the source image. So, by
passing a starting image and a pattern image, the starting image can be
covered with. Perhaps the best way to explain is visually
http://seanberry.com/perspective.png
What I need to know is how you take a surface like (P1, P5, P6, P2) and
describe it with the 8 int tuple?
I know that for the elements in the transform a - h they are as follows...
(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h)
a / e is the ratio of height to width. For a = 2, e = 1 the output is half
the width of the original.
b is the tan of the angle of horizonal skew. e is the vertical skew
equivalent of b.
c and f are the x and y offsets respectively.
g and h are the values that actually distort the image ranther than doing an
affine transform... which is where I need the help...
I appreciate any additional insight into this problem.
This is a small step in a massive project I am working on and need to get
past this part to move on to the next.
I am also willing to $pay$ for help that results in a success.

PIL Image transform
Okay, so here is the situation. I have need to do some on-the-fly image creation. I have everything working great except for the last part of it, applying a perspective type transform to the image. The transform will take a rectangular 2D image and transform it to a 3D representation in 2D. Please see the link to see what I am trying to do: http://seanberry.com/transform.png I have PIL v1.15 installed which has a PERSPECTIVE transform, but it does not appear to do what I want - or I can't figure out how to use it correctly because it is using a transform matrix's coefficients. Here is the only info I could find on the usage: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2005-February/003198.html This is for the creation of images to be used in Flash. Originally I was doing the image processing in Flash because Flash 8 has a BitmapData class which does the basics of images, copy, transform, etc. To accomplish the transform I was using an algorithm that approximated triangles to fill and worked really well, but I need the image processing to be server side, not client. So, here I am. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish my goal here? Is there a way to fill a triangle with a bitmap using PIL? What about better docs on the PERSPECTIVE transform? Thanks for any and all help on this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Building a Dynamic Library (libpython.so) for Python 2.4.3 Final
I've been trying to make python a dynamic library. I downloaded Python 2.4.3 Final from the Python web site and I cannot get it to create the library. I've tried using the directive: --enable-shared and --enable-shared=yes and both of them had the same effect of creating a bunch of parts of the python interpreter in .so format but not in creating a single libpython2.4.so.X.Y file.

You must stop using all patented devices, all copyrighted materials, and all tradmarked names. Also, if you know any trade secrets, you must stop using and condoning them as well. Of course this means you must stop driving cars, for every car has patented devices. Even many bicycles are so encumbered, so you might need to walk. But be careful, many shoes are also patented and trademarked. God only knows if they also use trade secrets as well, but ignorance is bliss. You will also find that such devices as microwaves are truely evil. Not only are they patented, but they also use closed source software to operate the device. The chips that run this code are very likely patented as well. Finally, the manual may be copyrighted. No honorable human being could even consider using such a device as they offend every ideal we stand for. While I am typing this, I realised that my computer uses a patented CPU, and the BIOS itself is not open source. I will need to switch to an open CPU design, and find an open source BIOS.

printing under MS win
Hi: My Linux-based Python/Tkinter application runs nicely, and printing works just fine (to a user-selected file, or an "lpr" device specified in the Entry box). Alas, the user wants to run it under MS Win, and of course will want to print the canvas for posterity. A Google search turned up a similar request from many years ago, which seemed to go unanswered. My current thoughts are 1) get the user to print to a file and let him copy the file to his printer (which is postscript); 2) do much the same as (1), but let the user display and print under Ghostscript/Ghostview; and 3) get the user to install UNIX printing services (which I found not to be trivial when I had to do it once) and then printing will run much as it does on UNIX/Linux. Any thoughts or other ideas? Regards, Dean Calgary -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Problem with C-API
Hi Duncan's example worked to a point. The line PyRun_String( "print x", Py_file_input, dict, dict); print out the contents of x, but I don't want to print x out. I want to be able to grab whateven the variable x contains so that I can pass it on for further processing by the C++ application. BTW this is only a test case. The real scripts are much bigger.

Re: Problem with C-API
Hi Duncan
Your version of the app works apart from this part
else {
PyObject *rString = PyObject_Str(result);
if (rString==NULL) {
Py_DECREF(result);
PyErr_Print();
return;
}
printf( "The result is %s\n", PyString_AsString(rString));
Py_DECREF(rString);
Py_DECREF(result);
}
}
The result of the printf state is: "The result is None"
result = PyRun_String("print x", Py_file_input, dict, dict);
The above line of code displays the value returned from the title()
function. My problem is I need to be able to cature the return value because
in the real application it will be displayed in a Process Log Widget. Also
the real scripts will be much longer.
I have not had a problem writing Python extensions, but when it comes to
embedded Python I just see how to get my code to work.

I tried the "cget" function, and it returned the width that I had used
when creating the canvas - even though the canvas was wider than that
value at display time (and also after manually resizing the window).
To your knowledge, is there a method to determine the current dimensions?

Hi Jason, To get "import socket" to work in Python2.4, I had to do something that I never recomend and that is hack the Python code.

This is needed for both GCC and SGI's compiler. I'd say that the SGI headers are just busted. */ #if defined(__sgi) && !defined(INET_ADDRSTRLEN) #define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16 #endif WITH: #define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16 This is a temporary fix until the Cygwin build works.

Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Dear Jason, The "$ TMP=/tmp rebaseall" command worked! Thank you. When a new Cygwin is available w/ your changes please let me know...

What is the difference? The TMP and/or TEMP environment variables have at least two spaces in them. The easiest workaround is to execute rebaseall like the following: $ TMP=/tmp rebaseall Long term I will change rebaseall to deal better with spaces in shell variables.

Re: Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Dear Jason, I installed Cygwin on another Windows XP platform, this time I selected "ALL" for the setup installation. Everything appears to have been install just fine, except for when I do the "rebaseall" command. I am receiving the following error messages when I do the "rebaseall" command at the prompt: $ rebaseall /usr/bin/rebaseall: line 70: [: too many arguments /usr/bin/rebaseall: line 75: [: too many arguments /usr/bin/rebaseall: line 94: $TmpFile: ambiguous redirect cannot read /cygdrive/c/Documents On my laptop installation everything works just fine. What is the difference? Thanks in advance and best regards, Dean Dean, Please keep your replies on-list. On Wed, Feb 02, 2005 at 05:14:21AM -0800, Dean N. Williams wrote: I am trying to do the following according to your notes: 3. Due to issues with Cygwin's fork() and DLL base address conflicts, one should rebase their Cygwin system to prevent fork() failures. Use the following procedure to rebase your system: a. install the Cygwin rebase package (if necessary) b. shutdown all Cygwin processes c. start bash (do not use rxvt) d. execute rebaseall (in the bash window) I think this is why idle fails. So I did the above: [Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...ASD_work/bin]$ rebaseall ReBaseImage (/usr/bin/cygexpat-0.dll) failed with last error = 6 What am I doing wrong here? It appears you did not follow step b above. Did you shutdown *all* Cygwin processes include services? Jason -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Building Python with Tcl/Tk on Cygwin_NT-5.1
Dear Python Community, I am trying to build Python with Tcl/Tk under the Cygwin_NT-5.1 OS. Has anyone done this? Do I need to build tcl8.4.9 and tk8.4.9 under the unix directory or the win directory. I found that the Tcl/Tk unix directories compiled just fine and built the libtcl8.4.a and libtk8.4.a libraries for use. But I don't think that Python is looking for this. If you've built Python with Tcl/Tck, is it possible for you to send me instructions on how you did it? Thanks in advance... Best regards, Dean -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
