Re: [Tutor] Trouble installing Python on Win7 (not a valid Win 32 app)
Thanks. I took a look at active state once. Too much of a learning curve for me at the time. I'm not a frequent user of Python. I was on a small project that depended on 2.5.2. There were some issues with numpy, and other libs that needed to stay put. Project is pretty well gone. If not, I'm going to declare it dead. I think I'm done here with 2.5.2.

Re: [Tutor] Trouble installing Python on Win7 (not a valid Win 32 app)
It was the default action before with the right-click. I don't care about double-click. I just looked on my XP, and that's the way it's done on 2.5.2 there. I have no idea how this got onto double-click. Let's not worry about it in any case. We can quibble some more, but I'm done with this effort. See my next post to Alan in a minute or two. Nevertheless, thanks for the help. That's not entirely true, actually. See, the DEFAULT association for Python files, as set by the installation, is just to run the damn things using python.exe or pythonw.exe - NOT to edit them in IDLE. By default, if you want to edit the script you right-click and select "Open in IDLE" (or you use some other editor/IDE), but if you double-click it the script just runs. What's messed with all of that is your insistence that you want IDLE to be the default action. And there's nothing wrong with that either - but you need to recognize that it is NOT the default setting, and plan accordingly. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg.

Giving us code (especially such a small amount) is exactly the right thing
to do when you ask a question - it shows that you've tried something, and
if it's broken it usually shows why it's broken.
You can add text to the Label widget - and you can change the text on that
widget.
You're already importing the time module - for more information about what
it contains, you can run the interactive interpreter and do this:
>>> import time
>>> help(time)
Or you can look online for the commands that might help you.
If you get stuck, let us know what you're doing and where you're stuck at.

Re: [Tutor] Trouble installing Python on Win7 (not a valid Win 32 app)
... Now I believe I see your problem... Your "usual error message" was, I believe , that (x) is not a valid Win32 app. Python scripts are NOT Win32 apps - and IDLE itself is a Python script. You need to tell Windows to open .py files with IDLE, but first you need to tell Windows to open IDLE itself with Python. Sounds like a job for... a batch file! Fortunately, there already is one. Try assigning .py files to \Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat instead. I tried the bat approach. As far as I can tell nothing has changed. Same msg if I try to open a py file with idle.pyw. It's been awhile since I used a bat file, but what are the %s for? Usually, they are arguments. Was I supposed to supply them? I used: C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib>idle.bat C:\Python25\Lib\idlelib> If for some reason it doesn't exist, you can create one with the following contents: @echo off rem Start IDLE using the appropriate Python interpreter set CURRDIR=%~dp0 start "IDLE" "%CURRDIR%..\..\pythonw.exe" "%CURRDIR%idle.pyw" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg.

[Tutor] Clock in tkinter?
Hi!
I am new to programming and I hop this question isn’t stupid.
I am making a small GUI program. It is supposed to have a button and a clock in
it that displays the same time as it is according to the computer.
So as far as I am concerned both the clock and the are supposed to be widgets?
So how do I add this clock as a widget placed next to the button?
Here is the code I have written so far, that only displays a GUI window, and a
button:
from tkinter import *
import time
class Window(Frame):
def __init__(self,master):
super(Window,self).__init__(master)
self.grid()
self.create_widgets()
def create_widgets(self):
self.test_button=Button(self, text="Hi")
self.test_button.grid(row=0,column=0)
root=Tk()
root.title("Test")
root.geometry("200x200")
app=Window(root)
root.mainloop()

The problem I'm having is that when I try to run this function I get a
dialog window that pops up titled: "Update Values: Personal.xls" When I
try to cancel out of it I get directed to a type mismatch in the excel
macro.
The program is very long so I won't paste the whole thing here, just the
call to the excel macro. What seems key is that the macro runs fine in
excel. And I've run excel macros from python before. The only difference
is that now the macro also calls some excel user defined functions.
Since they live in Personal.xls I'm thinking that is the wrinkle here.
All of my searching has led me nowhere. Has no one ever had this issue?
You'll note the excessive closing language in the function. I thought
that maybe what was happening is that more than one instance of excel
was open and that was causing a problem with accessing personal.xls, as
will happen if you try to manually open more than one instance of excel
in windows.
def runExcelMacro():
excel = win32.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
excel.Visible = 0
fTest =
excel.Workbooks.Add("D:\\Data\\Excel\\Blank_Summary_Report_Template_Macr
o_2014.xls")
macName = "macroAllFiles"
macName = fTest.Name + '!' + macName
print macName
excel.Run(macName)
excel.DisplayAlerts = 0
fTest.Close(1)
excel.Quit()
del excel
Any ideas!?
Thanks

Re: [Tutor] Trouble installing Python on Win7 (not a valid Win 32 app)
Before reading my response below, let me note how things look on my XP laptop--for what it's worth. I happen to be using 2.4 there. When I look at a folder of py programs there, the icon is something like a lizard for each program. If I right-click on a py file, a list appears, and I'm asked if I want to Edit with IDLE, ..., ..., Edit with. All works fine. In Win 7, each file has something like a small window icon next to it. When I right-click, the items at the top are Open, Open with jEdit (I just started using it yesterday), ... Open with, ..., blah, blah. Open with has four choices: idle.pyw, Notepad, python.exe, and Choose default program. ... continuing to what I observed at your request. If you can open a command prompt and go to C:\Temp (or some other arbitrary folder), type "python", and get the Python prompt, then your search path is working properly. Well, that works. In any case, click "Change program...", then "Browse" to the current proper locations, and click OK. This should (finally) fix your problem... Change Program? Do you mean on the installed program list? I meant exactly what I typed. On the very screen we were just discussing - with the list of extensions (.py, .pyc, etc.) there is a button labeled "Change program..." Yes, in the upper right corner. Highlight the line for ".py". Click the button (yes, the one that says "Change program..."). You'll Yes, did that. get another dialog box, and in that one there will be a button labeled "Browse". Click it. This will open up an "Open with..." dialog box, which will default to the Program Files folder. That's Yes, did that. probably NOT where your Python install is located - by default, Python 2.5 would be installed in C:\Python25 - but it's up to you to figure out where you installed it. Once you've found it, For py, I found \Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw. I then opened just_fun.py program with idle.pyw, and got the usual error message. highlight python.exe and click the "Open" button. Click "OK" to get back to the list of extensions. Repeat the process for ".pyc", ".pyo", and ".pyw". The uninstall/install should have fixed this, but there are a lot of things that could interfere - perhaps you didn't run it as Administrator, perhaps it tripped over your previously-modified setting, perhaps the installer is buggy, perhaps gremlins are trying to mess with your head...?

This is working brilliantly Slow, but working..:) I can go from here and see if there's a way to speed it up. Well you've got a few options, although an amount depends on how much control you have over your data and how well you can predict. One option is to encode at SQL Server level: CAST your NVARCHAR to VARCHAR as part of the your query, eg: SELECT contacts.id, name = CAST ( contacts.name COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS AS VARCHAR (200) ) FROM contacts This will bring the text in as bytes encoded Latin1 which you can then write directly to the csv without the encoder. Without having tested this, I imagine it would be faster than encoding blindly at the Python end since it'll happen lower down the stack and you're pinpointing the data rather than running through all the columns on the offchance of finding one which is unicode. An alternative is to arrange something equivalent at the Python end -- ie have specific encoders for different rows which can target the specific columns which are known to be NVARCHAR.

A few thoughts first:
class Card(object):
def __init__(self):
self.value = ''
self.display = 'X'
I would change the above to:
class Card(object):
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value
self.display = 'X'
(because you always have a card with a value)
Which allows you to save a line here:
for value in values:
card = Card(value)
card_list.append(card)
like that
Another idea would be to use "extend" here:
values = []
for i in range(1, 11):
values.append(str(i))
values.append('J')
values.append('Q')
values.append('K')
So, you would do something like this instead:
mylist = range(1, 11)
mylist.extend(['J', 'Q', 'K'])
for i in mylist:
values.append(str(i))
What extend does is it extends one list with another list.
Also, you can build the string conversion into the card class:
Further saving you the above loop:
class Card(object):
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = str(value)
self.display = 'X'
and then in the create_cards def:
mylist = range(1, 11)
mylist.extend(['J', 'Q', 'K'])
#for i in mylist:
#values.append(str(i))
for value in mylist:
card = Card(value)
card_list.append(card)
(as an aside, I'm not sure why you do this:
card_list = card_list * 8
if you need two decks, I think you should have a variable like 4*decks so
you can shuffle the right amount of decks)
I don't think you need to shuffle twice here (which in turn calls into
question why you need a separate method, but maybe you were going to build
on it - i do that all the time):
def shuffle(self):
random.shuffle(self.cards)
#random.shuffle(self.cards)
Now onto your question:
You can see that there are four card values that are shown visible in any
given run. There are always four values and they are always random from run
to run.
If you comment out this loop
#for index, card in enumerate(self.dealt[5]):
#print index, card
#self.dealt[5][index].display = self.dealt[5][index].value
You won't get that anymore.
If you want to control whether to display any particular card or not, I
would add a variable to the display_cards method:
def display_cards(self, display = True):
for row in self.dealt:
for card in row:
if display:
print '%5s ' % card.display,
else:
print '%5s ' % card.value,
print ''
Or you can add another value to the card class, if you want to control the
display of cards on a unique basis:
class Card(object):
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = str(value)
self.display = 'X'
self.display_or_value = True
then you can change your method above to be:
def display_cards(self):
for row in self.dealt:
for card in row:
if card.display_or_value:
print '%5s ' % card.display,
else:
print '%5s ' % card.value,
print ''
Long story short, if I wanted to control the visibility of any card, I
would do it within the Card class (since presumably that is an attribute of
any given card - think about it in real life, a card can be up, or a card
can be down, yet it still retains its other properties, like color, value,
creases, etc)

So the *same* Jack (for example) will appear 8 times in the resulting list. This list, card_list, is the list that implements then later on sliced in your deal method. So, when you then set the cards in the dealt hand to visible in your self.dealt[5] loop, because these same cards (card objects) also are part of the other piles/hands, they also appear visible elsewhere when the display method is called. To fix: Replace the line above (e.g. card_list = card_list * 8) with something that explicitly constructs new cards 8 times, thereby not holding mutliple refernces from seperate piles to the same card, then you should have no further issues. Maybe loop 8 times and make a function of te preceding code etc. Walter ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The sense I intended means the actual location of that file; on my machine I have several versions of python.exe in different places (C:\cygwin\bin, C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\python, C:\Python27) but the only one that matters for our current purpose is the one pointed to by the entry in Default Programs - and the path to that one is "C:\Python27\python.exe". Wayne was referring to the "search path" - also usually shortened to just "path". When you type something at the command prompt, Windows (or DOS, or Linux, or whatever) tries to match it against its list of built-in commands; if it's not a match, then it looks for matching executable files in each of the folders in the search path*, and runs the first match it finds; if it doesn't find a match, you get an error message. *In DOS and Windows, the current working directory is tried before the search path; in *nixes, you need to prepend "./" if you want to run a file in the current folder. If you can open a command prompt and go to C:\Temp (or some other arbitrary folder), type "python", and get the Python prompt, then your search path is working properly. The default program/file association in Windows short-circuits the search path; you specify exactly which executable, in what specific location, you want Windows to use to open certain types of files.

it's failing on the query or the insert to the csv. The Exception is:
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 1: ordinal not

Thanks for producing a thinned-down example. If I may take this at
face value, I assume you're doing something like this:
import csv
#
# Obviously from database, but for testing...
#
data = [
(127, None, u'Robert', None, u'B\xf6ck', 'uCompany Name', None, 1, 0,
327, 0),
]
with open ("temp.csv", "wb") as f:
writer = csv.writer (f)
writer.writerows (data)
which gives the error you describe.
In short, the csv module in Python 2.x (not sure about 3.x) is
unicode-unaware. You're passing it a unicode object and it's got no way
of knowing what codec to use to encode it. So it doesn't try to guess:
it just uses the default (ascii) and fails.
And this is where it gets just a little bit messy. Depending on how much
control you have over your data and how important the unicodeiness of it
is, you need to encode things explicitly before they get to the csv module.
One (brute force) option is this:
def encoded (iterable_of_stuff):
return tuple (
(i.encode ("utf8") if isinstance (i, unicode) else i)
for i in iterable_of_stuff
)
#
# ... other code
#
writer.writerows ([encoded (row) for row in data])
This will encode anything unicode as utf8 and leave everything else
untouched. It will slow down your csv generation, but that might well
not matter (especially if you're basically IO-bound).

Re: [Tutor] Cython vs Python-C API
Jaidev Deshpande, 14.11.2011 21:30: I need to perform cubic spline interpolation over a range of points, and I have written the code for the same in C and in Python. The interpolation is part of a bigger project. I want to front end for the project to be Python. Ideally I want Python only to deal with data visualization and i/o, and I'll leave the computationally expensive part of the project to C extensions, which can be imported as functions into Python. To this end, the interpolation can be handled in two ways: 1. I can either compile the C code into a module using the Python-C/C++ API, through which I can simple 'import' the required function. 2. I can use the Python code and extend it using Cython. 3. use the existing C code and wrap it with Cython, likely using NumPy to pass the data, I guess. Why write yet another version of your code? I would strongly suggest not to put C-API calls into your C code. It will just make it less versatile (e.g. no longer usable outside of CPython) and generally harder to maintain.
