[Tutor] assert() question
I have a module, mycalc.py, which is a collection of functions designed
to be imported independently.
I've heard about using assert() to check up on whether things are still
working correctly, or something like that. So I've begun to write some
assert() expressions(?) and put them at the bottom of the
module.
if __name__ ==
'__main__':
assert(numberCommas('7657657.7554') == '7,657,657.7554')
assert(intCommas(76576577554) == '76,576,577,554')
assert(nextNPrimes(1,10) == [10039L, 10061L,
10063L, 10091L, 10121L, 10163L,
10169L, 10177L, 10189L, 10193L])
maxDiffBetPrimes(101)
printTime(1215322947.0320001, 1215322934.0398701)
printTime(1215323947.0320001, 1215323011.4567342)
printTime(1215322947.0320001, 1215312921.0054233)
OUTPUT:
For primes up through 101, max diff is 8
between the 1 pair(s) of primes [(89, 97)]
Time was 12.99 seconds
Time was 15 minutes, 35 seconds
Time was 2 hours, 47 minutes, 6 seconds
The top three work silently, but I found that I could not figure out
how to use assert() with the functions that print rather than return.
E.g., maxDiffBetPrimes() and printTime(). Is there a
way?
If it'll help, here's printTime():
def printTime(timeEnd, timeStart):
from mycalc import hmsToText
timeElapsed = timeEnd - timeStart
if timeElapsed > 60:
print "Time was",
hmsToText(timeElapsed)
else:
print "Time was %.4g
seconds" % timeElapsed
Thanks,
Dick Moores

Re: [Tutor] module paths
That's what I thought but no. There is an install of 2.4 but not in
use. /usr/local/bin/Python points to ->
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python
feedparser is installed in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages
both the interactive interpreter and the one used by textmate/terminal

the output of sys.path from textmate looks like this:

Re: [Tutor] module paths
I copy/pasted your script and it ran fine on my end. Is it possible that
you've got more than one installation of python and the feedparser module is
installed somewhere other than for the python interpreter at
/usr/local/bin/python (since that's what your script references)? Perhaps
trying "python parse.py" will help since your code when you invoke the
python shell.

[Tutor] my first object model, using an interface
Dear fellow Python enthusiasts: I want to run an idea by you to see if I understand modeling objects adequately, after reading Alan Gauld's excellent tutorial and two brief articles about interfaces in Python, here: http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/tutclass.htm http://dirtsimple.org/2004/12/python-interfaces-are-not-java.html http://nedbatchelder.com/text/pythonic-interfaces.html I am attempting to model the following: a correspondence school has asked me to help them solve a problem. When the school sends a student by mail a package containing several courses, each course having several pieces of gradable homework, when a specific threshold of homework completed and submitted by the student is met or exceeded, another package is sent to the student by mail. Now, this aforementioned threshold, i.e., an integer indicating percentage, can vary, and is not just for the totality of homework in the package, but also for certain courses with many pieces of homework. For example, say the school sends student Joe a package (package_1) containing courses A, B and C_sub1. A, B & C_sub1 have 10 pieces of gradable homework, and the school wants that we can set a threshold for the totality of homework for package1, as well as a threshold for C_sub1 alone. When the thresholds are met or exceeded, independently, then we send package_2 and C_sub2, respectively. I envisioned a nascent object model and noted the following observations: - a Watchable interface that, when implemented, signifies that the implementing object has a threshold and associated package. - a Package class, that can be seen as a container for courses and/or one part of a course - a Course class, that can be seen as a container for gradable homework - a Homework class, that has a flag to indicated whether it has been received by the school - most Packages are Watchable (except the last Package object), and only one or two Courses in a Package need to be Watchable Two questions: 1) Should I create a first-class Watchable interface object, and then have my Package and Course objects implement it if they need to ? If I start with a Watchable interface, do I handle the name-space conflict, i.e., Package(object) vs Package(Watchable), by defining a Package class, and a W_Package class that implements Watchable, and likewise for Course ? 2) am I even thinking the right way about attacking this problem ? I am curious what your experience in writing easy to maintain software might tell you about my nascent object model. class Watchable(object): def set_threshold(self, an_int): raise NotImplemented def get_threshold(self): raise NotImplemented def set_associated_load(self, a_load): raise NotImplemented def get_associated_load(self): raise NotImplemented class Package(object): def __init__(self, courses): self.set_courses(courses) def set_courses(self, courses): self.courses = courses def get_courses(self): return self.courses class Course(Watchable): def __init__(self, name, homework): self.name = name self.homework = homework def get_name(self): return self.name def get_homework(self): return self.homework class Homework(object): def __init__(self, name): self.name = name self.academically_received = False def set_academically_received(self): self.academically_received = True ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Voice Text To Speech and Wav File Make and Save
Hi!
I got my text to speech to work better, will in the future remove the
buttons and only have the file menu.
It seems to work fine and now use sub menu's for voice settings.
What will be needed as an event to capture the cursor movement inside
the text box. How do I get the key and cursor events so I can speak when
doing ctrl cursor or up/down cursor events to say lines, words, and letters?
I have tried getting the key event but gets ignored, so I need the
proper kind and location to catch the text box key events. I erased my test,
but below and attached are the complete setup.

Not all modules are implemented as .py files. Some are compiled C libraries. Thus searching for .py will not find all Python modules.

In Ubuntu, you can find all the documentation in the /usr/share/doc directory. Therefore, for python you will find it in /usr/share/doc/python. Furthermore, to find the location of some documentation, in the terminal enter dpkg -L , in your case, just type dpkg -L python and you will be rewarded with paths for all python related documentation.

[Tutor] Exploring the Standard Library
I'd like to spend some time exploring the standard library. I'm running python on Ubuntu. How would I find the location of the modules (find / -name "os.py" does not yield results)? Thanks! Nathan ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Script Name/Path Information
I'm new to python and wondering if there is a way to reference information about the script that is running. For example, if I was running a script named "FileInfo.py" from the directory "/home/username", I'm looking for attributes such that something similar to: print self.name print self.path would output: FileInfo.py /home/username ...
