[Tutor] program code for Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner, 3rd ed.?
The book says the program code is in py3e_source.zip, at www.courseptr.com/downloads , but that leads to the book at http://www.delmarlearning.com/companions/index.asp?isbn=1435455002 with a View Available Downloads link that yields no downloads. Does anyone know where py3e_source.zip is? Or if you have it, could you email it to me?

[Tutor] One basic question about the Python's PID of Process object.
Hello, 1. When I tried to run the following code (belonging to one Python program), for the dynamically created object of CUSTOMER as Process type, the printed PID as the following is always the same. Why? 2. Second question: When I changed the os.getpid() to os.getppid() or self. _pid, the Python’s interpreter generates some error message like “Customer object has no attribute ‘_pid’”. Thanks for your help! Partly code for the CUSTOMER object： class Customer(Process): def buyBaguette(self,cusType,bakery): tIn=now() print PID is %d%(os.getpid()) yield get,self,bakery.stock,r.choice(buy[cusType]) waits[cusType].append(now()-tIn) def __del__(self): print distroy the customer ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Python's builtin sort is stable, which means that ordering of items
with the same key is preserved. This property means that you can do
multiple pass sorting very easily and efficiently just by sorting
twice:
# we'll simplify the problem a bit and have tuples with just last name
and id.
l = [('aaa', 1), ('bbb', 1), ('ccc', 1), ('aaa', 2), ('bbb', 2),
('ccc', 2)]
l.sort(key=itemgetter(0))
l
[('aaa', 1), ('aaa', 2), ('bbb', 1), ('bbb', 2), ('ccc', 1), ('ccc', 2)]
l.sort(key=itemgetter(1))
l
[('aaa', 1), ('bbb', 1), ('ccc', 1), ('aaa', 2), ('bbb', 2), ('ccc', 2)]
We sort by last name first, then sort again by id. As you can see, the
sorting of groups with the same id is preserved, and our list is now
in the correct order.
Hugo
It works when I use your example, but I don't understand why it won't work
when I use 4-element tuples instead of 2:
l = [('wascas','aaa','fdvdfv', 1), ('rtgdsf','bbb','trfg', 1),
('addwe','ccc','esd', 1), ('xasd','aaa','wascaq', 2), ('nhy','bbb','asw',
2), ('','ccc','dgdeg', 2)]
l
[('wascas', 'aaa', 'fdvdfv', 1), ('rtgdsf', 'bbb', 'trfg', 1), ('addwe',
'ccc', 'esd', 1), ('xasd', 'aaa', 'wascaq', 2), ('nhy', 'bbb', 'asw', 2),
('', 'ccc', 'dgdeg', 2)]
l.sort(key=itemgetter(3))
l
[('wascas', 'aaa', 'fdvdfv', 1), ('rtgdsf', 'bbb', 'trfg', 1), ('addwe',
'ccc', 'esd', 1), ('xasd', 'aaa', 'wascaq', 2), ('nhy', 'bbb', 'asw', 2),
('', 'ccc', 'dgdeg', 2)]
l.sort(key=itemgetter(1))
l
[('wascas', 'aaa', 'fdvdfv', 1), ('xasd', 'aaa', 'wascaq', 2),
('rtgdsf', 'bbb', 'trfg', 1), ('nhy', 'bbb', '
asw', 2), ('addwe', 'ccc', 'esd', 1), ('', 'ccc', 'dgdeg', 2)]
Also I notice your original list and your end result list are in the same
order.
Thanks
Dayo
In my original example, you can shuffle the list before you sort it
and it will still work. Try it, with a quick from random import
shuffle; shuffle(l).
Also, notice that you want to sort by your primary order *last*. I
sorted by last name first, then sorted by id second, which means the
final list's primary order is by id, and secondary order by last name.
So the sorting goes in reverse. In your example, you sort by id first,
then last name. So your final list's primary order is by last name.
Hugo
I tried it this way and it worked nicely:
sortedList = sorted(l, key = itemgetter(3,1))
Thank you :-)

You are more likely to get an answer by asking on one of the larger/busier lists, like python-l...@python.org (also available on Usenet under comp.lang.python). You are more likely to find somebody who uses easy_install and a Mac there. But in the meantime, my *wild guess* is that this is a file association problem. If you call the python app directly with python, the most recently added version (version 2.6) gets called, but if you try to run the easy_install directly script, the Mac automatically associates it with Python 2.5 and installation fails. Can you show us exactly how you are calling the easy install script? Another possibility is that it is an issue with the PATH. If you are calling python from the command line as a regular user, it might be picking up one version of Python, but if you call it as root (superuser), you might get a different PATH and therefore a different version of Python. Again, this depends on how you are calling the easy install script. (I emphasis that these are guesses...

[Tutor] Intro
Hi Python tutor listers, as an intro I'll repost what I sent to my Linux groups, since one of their members turned me on to you: Before Borders imploded I'd joined their club so they'd send me 50% coupons now and then. One afternoon last year I was in the store browsing the computer books and this Python book caught my eye. I knew very little about Python but I knew it had a good rep and I love Monty Python so I bought the book then put in on the shelf. Only recently did I get around to reading it and I only wish I'd done so sooner, it's that good. The book is Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner, Third Edition by Michael Dawson, Course Technology, ISBN-13 978-1-4354-5500-9, published in 2010. He presumes you know nothing about programming and then uses simple computer games to demonstrate the power of Python. He starts with those text based games many of us used to play, finishing off with GUI based games with music and animation, and all the code is downloadable from the publisher's web site. That's pretty good for a beginner book, I'd say. Python itself is a beautiful language. Because it uses indenting for constructing programming blocks, not semi-colons or braces, the code is inherently clean and crisp. More about Python: - it's easy to learn yet very powerful - very concise and tight syntax - comes with it's own IDE - no compiling yet can create stand alone apps - can be used for scripting or full blown applications - runs on all the major OSs - no variably type declarations, it can infer them - lots of modules (pre-coded specific code routines) available - can get productive quickly - can code in a procedural or object-oriented style Here's the typical introductory Hello World program: print(Hello World) Doesn't get much simpler than that! He even gets into GUI programming, event driven design, sprites, etc. For a book for a supposed absolute beginner I think that's amazing, because I can see someone getting this even if they really have no coding background. That's how clearly it's written and how clean and clear the example code is. One more side benefit of this book: it contains the gentlest, easiest to digest introduction to object-oriented programming I've ever seen, and I read a lot of computer stuff. If you're an old-timer like me who only studied procedural languages, this is about as easy an introduction to the power and flexibility of O-O programming that you will ever find. What I've been wanting to do for a long time is write an app that, when my computer starts, displays a window with a quote of the day. With this book I now have several ways to take my huge collected quotes file, import it into arrays in a Python program, apply a random function, and display a random quote each time I log on. That kind of app is a natural for Python, but don't kid yourself - he actually writes a space invaders type game using some game modules - and this in a beginner book! Amazing.

I think I will take a page from rantingrick and state facts without providing any sources to back them up :) But statistically women don't like computer games (and yes, I know some do, but among women they are statistically in a minority). This has been historically true but women gamers are on the rise. In my opinion, the difference traditionally occurs because men and women frequently like to play different types games. As the gaming industry continues to expand (both in terms of target audience and developers), this ratio is starting to change. I can probably attribute some of that to things like Facebook games (e.g. Zynga) for a lot more women playing games (although, they usually do not consider themselves gamers).

On 8/29/2011 11:29 AM Cranky Frankie said... I'm trying to decide what would be better: 'better' is subjective. On the one hand, you have a monolithic python program that consolidates data and program into a single source; on the other hand, you have separation of logic and data. Most often, and particularly for larger on-going projects, I'll use the second approach as the infrastructure to support it is already in place. However, I am rather fond of certain monolithic solutions as both maintenance and deployment are much easier. TiddlyWiki and Monmotha's firewall script come to mind. - reading the huge quote file (hundreds of entries, two strings, author and quotation) in each time the program starts - loading the quotes into an array in the program I don't imagine you'd see much difference here. The content must be read from disk and organized in a python structure regardless. I'd like to be able to add new quotes easily, so that is a factor as well. I'm satisfied to use a dialog box, I don't need a GUI at this point so no tkinter (yet). There's not much difference either in the 'launch a program' or 'load a program' approaches to adding quotes. For learning purposes, I think I'd advise a complete newbie to start with the monolithic approach and build up and out from there.

The array is called LS_JULY_11 and the output array should be delta_temp What I have so far is:- import numpy #determine the existing matrix size columnsize = LS_JULY_11.columnSize() matrixsize = LS_JULY_11.size() rowsize = matrixsize/columnsize #define time step TIME_STEP = 33 #create matrix size of the same size delta_temp = numpy.zeros((rowsize,columnsize)) #cycle through all indicies in temperature matrix for i in rowsize: for j in columnsize: delta_temp(i,j) = (LS_JULY_11(i,j) - LS_JULY_11(i,j-1))/TIME_STEP j = j+1 i = i + 1 the error I get is:- File string, line 18 (33) SyntaxError: can't assign to function call Help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Danny ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Loops and matrices'
Hi Danny, Most likely you want delta_temp(i,j) = (LS_JULY_11(i,j) - LS_JULY_11(i,j-1))/TIME_STEP to become (changed the character from '()' to '[]': delta_temp[i,j] = (LS_JULY_11(i,j) - LS_JULY_11(i,j-1))/TIME_STEP Basically it thinks delta_temp(i,j) is a function call and function calls cannot be assigned a value.

Then simply read forward that many quotes. If it was a really big file(millions of quotes) you could store a table of contents including the quote number and offset, but I suspect you haven't that many quotes yet...

Thanks for your help.

And Australians and New Zealanders too. Any Canadians want to weigh in
with an opinion?
Brackets are anything that, er, brackets an expression (excluding
quotation marks), where the one on the left is different from the one on
the right. So:
() round brackets
[] square brackets
{} curly brackets
angle brackets
Easier to spell than parenthesis/parentheses, but longer than
brace/braces :)
Strictly speaking, the chevrons (angle brackets) should be ⟨⟩ rather
than less than and greater than signs, but they're hard to type at the
keyboard and look too similar to round brackets in small font sizes.

Re: [Tutor] select particular directories and files
hello,
yes, I would also try adding a wild card in the dir search
for dir in glob.glob(MainFolder + '01\*'):
to check if this is helps, in an interpreter (rather than script) try
dirs = glob.glob(MainFolder + '\01\*'):
print dirs
if you get [] then this was not the answer, but if you get a list of
directories, then this should work.
Well, it should work with the correction
for ncfile in glob.glob(dir+'\*.nc'):
Cheers,
Andre

Could it be because I am trying to select folders within other folders to
then get a file from each of those folders?

Re: [Tutor] select particular directories and files
It worked! thank you. This is the code I ended with:
for dir in glob.glob(MainFolder + '*/01/'):
print dir
for ncfile in glob.glob(dir + '*.nc'):
print ncfile
can you choose more than one folder with glob?
i.e. I tried:
for dir in glob.glob(MainFolder + '*/01/', '*/02/', '*/03/'):
but I received:
TypeError: glob() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given)

Re: [Tutor] select particular directories and files
to have multiple dirs is simple,
for dir in glob.glob(MainFolder + '*/01/') + glob.glob(MainFolder + '*/02/')
+ glob.glob(MainFolder + '*/03/'):
there may be a better way, but this should work.
By the way, not to discourage you from asking questions on the list, but many
of these things can be deduced quickly by trial and error using the python
interpreter (the interactive python shell). That is one thing I really like
about python, you really can just play around with it. And with all things, if
you figure it out on your own, then you will likely feel better about that, and
also, you will retain the knowledge better and gain more confidence in trying
new things.
Cheers,
Andre
