I am working in windows I get
>>> '%e' % 13
'1.30e+001'
In all cases I need the number to start with 0
0.13000E+01

exponential float formmating
Hi, For compatibility reasons with an old program I have to format string in exponential format with the following format 0.xE-yy This means that the number start always by 0 and after the exponent there should be alway the sing and 2 number for the exponent. for example 13 shoud be 0.13000E+02 I always get 1.3E001 Thanks, Zunbeltz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
float to string with different precision
Hi, I have to print float numbers to a file. Each float should be 5 characters in width (4 numbers and the decimal point). My problem is that I do not now how to specify float to have different numbers of decimals. For example 5.32 -> 5.320 10.356634 -> 10.357 289.234 -> 289.2 In the string formating operations only fixed number of decimal digits is allow.

resume TCP comunication
Hi, I'am writing a program to cotrol a machine. I use socket comunication (TCP) to do it. I do a measurement in my machine like this: def DoMeasurement(): setup1() setup2() while MeasurementNotFinished(): move() measure() finalizeMeasurement() Each funciton setup1, setup2, move,mesure, ... call a method in a class that contains a socket that do the comunication staff class DiSock(socekt): self.sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) def comunicate(self): self.sock.sendall(Request.struct2string()) msg = '' MSGLEN = 608 while len(msg) < MSGLEN: chunk = self.sock.recv(MSGLEN-len(msg)) if chunk == '': raise RuntimeError,"socket connection broken" msg = msg + chunk data = msg Answer.string2struct(data) Request and Anser are objects in where i put the information i whant to send and recive from the machine. All the measurement is done in a new thread. The problem is that sometimes i loose the conenction whith the machines. In the case a ConnectionFailure exception is raised. How can i do resume the Measurement when the conection is resumed? Can i use a yield for this? Thanks in advance Zunbeltz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

No chance of mis-steps. I corrected the problem. A bit of the comunication was done in the GUI thread. Thanks again for your help. Zunbeltz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

What do you do when you have more tham one device; use thread or use Twisted? Did you use it whit wxPython. I think thereis some problems of compatibility. Thank you very much.

asynchronous comunication, wxPython and threads.
Hi, I have the following problem. I'm developing a GUI program (wxPython). This program has to comunicate (TCP) whit other program that controls a laboratory machine to do a measurement. I have a dialog box, wiht two buttoms "Start measurement" and "Stop". "Start" executes a function that do the measurement in the following way. 1) My program send a socket. 2) The other program recives it an send confirmation. 3) My program waits for the confirmation and send the next when confirmation received. This comunication is done in a new thread not to frezee the GUI. The problem is that when "Stop" is done (it kills the thread) some confirmation sockets are mixed (are not receibed in the correct order although i use tcp). I have been told not to do comunication in a new thread; instead, I should use asyncronus comunication. My question: What module should i use, asyncore, asynchat, twisted,(anohter) How can i implement this asynchronous comunication and the ability to stop this long run funciton (the measurement can take hours or days, so i need a way to stop it)? Can asynchronous comunication garantee that the confirmation socket will arrive in the correct order (one after each sended socket)? Thanks for your help Zunbeltz Izaola -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
asyncore and GUI (wxPython)
Hi,
I have the followin situation.
1) I've a machine controled by a computer programn that can
comunicate with TCP/IP ("server")to recive the request of other
program to knwo what the machine should do.
2) The other program ("client") has a GUI (with wxPython), recives
data from the machine and should process it (draw and write to file).
In the current situation the comunication is done in a thread. Every
time data is collected it is pased to the main thread of the GUI, with
a wxPostEvent. Every stream_socketk sended by the client has its
correspondig answer from the server. (I log the comunication an
every received socket is the anser of the sended one)
The problem: when i stop the thread (i don't no why) the answer to
the last socket don't correspond to the last sended (they mix).
The possible correction? I have been told not to do network connection
in other thread, instead i should use asyncore. I'll be sending sockets
every 0.1 seconds or faster. Will be the main progam "freeze" in the
asyncore loop, or it will refresh the windows and response to
mouse/keyboard properly? How fast can i be sending sockets without
distourbing the main program; or (it is very likeyly) i am totaly wrong
and i should take another way?
Thanks in advance

I have a threaded object (Mythread). It checks if want_thread

execute a function that is a tcp comunication
def Client(self,Request,Answer):
totalsent = 0
while totalsent < 608:
sent = self.sock.send(Request.struct2string()[totalsent:])
if sent == 0:
raise RuntimeError, "socket broken"
totalsent = totalsent + sent
if Request.Codigo != 37:
self.WriteLog("Request",Request)
data = self.sock.recv(608)
Answer.string2struct(data)
if int(Answer.Param[9]) != 37:
self.WriteLog("Answer",Answer)
The Client function send a Request (them write it in a log file),
gets and answer and and write it. The problem is that when i stop
the thread a get somethime the Request writed but not the answer,
as if the funciton Client returns before it ends.
