Hello Sean, Installing Python shouldn't be a problem .. I found it more complicated to subscribe to this mailing list than to install it :) .. I think it comes with most of what you need in a single package. I needed recently pyWin, and I downloaded it from Sourceforge. I'll walk in your shoes for a bit (Although I'm on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Python 3.2) I searched for the term Numpy on Google. The first site it returned was numpy.scipy.org I clicked on Download, I landed on http://new.scipy.org/download.html. I opened two links in new tabs : SourceForge site for Numpy SourceForge site for Scipy http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/ And http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/ Looking for the latest version? *Download numpy-1.6.1-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe (6.0 MB) http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/latest/download?source=files *Looking for the latest version? *Download scipy-0.10.0-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe (46.0 MB) http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/latest/download?source=files * * *You click on the links (I think the site is OS aware, so you'll probably be given a link for a dmg or something if you're on a mac) I see the python2.6 at the end, I guess it won't work but I'll test for the sake of being certain nevertheless. I click on the numpy-1.6.1 because it's smaller and to test quickly.. (I'm typing as I'm doing, so do some nops while you wait :) ) I launch the installation of numpy-1.6.1 and it says Python version 2.6 required, which was not found in the registry in a dialog box titled Cannot install. I Google nympy python 3.2 .. The second link seems interesting http://www.wilmott.com/messageview.cfm?catid=10threadid=83588 The guy posting the question was advised to stick with Python 2.6 or 2.7 and given a link for the FAQ http://new.scipy.org/faq.html#does-numpy-currently-work-with-python-3-x-what-about-scipy I don't know which version of Python you're using. -- ~Jugurtha Hadjar, ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Request for guidance about a python syntax
Dear Tutors, I am new to python. I am trying to understand ( use) the python implementation of goertzel implementation provided on http://www.black-aura.com/blog/2011/12/10/python-implementation-of-the-goertzel-algorithm-dtmf-decoding/ . This python program uses unpack_from() function to unpack string into array of ints, with the following statement: frames = struct.unpack_from(*%dH % nframes * **nchannels*, frames) I could know the use of unpack_from, but I could not understand the fmt part, i.e *%dH % nframes * nchannels*. Can you pls help me know, what is the purpose of two % signs in this statement? Thanks for your help in advance.

See http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations for details. Basically, it's building the format for the call to unpack_from on the fly. The %dH portion is calling for a single decimal value to become part of the string (that's the %d portion). That value comes from multiplying nframes by nchannels. So, for example, if nframes = 10 and nchannels = 24, then the string becomes 240H. That, in turn, tells the program to unpack a sequence of 240 unsigned short values from the buffer. -- Jerry ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] A few Python Mysteries
Win 7, 64-bit I had Py 2.5 installed on my PC earlier this year, and it began failing around June. I finally uninstalled it, and tried 2.6. Still had problems that centered around getting to IDLE. Uninstalled 2.6, and went to 2.7. Same problem. I completely uninstalled 2.7. I do have several folders of py programs. No Python. After that episode, I began to notice the following messages when I signed on to my PC after a boot. I do not bring my PC down very often. Specified module could not be found: Loadlib python.dll failed, and another of the same for Python25.dll failed (maybe not found). I did a search for both, but neither were found. I ignored this inconvenience for a few weeks, and had developed a need to copy a particular python program on Win 7 to another computer. Call it abc.py. I copied it to a thumb drive, and plugged the drive into the other PC, which has Python on it. abc.py was missing from the drive. I tried this about three times, and even went to yet another PC. No abc.py. Finally, I pulled xyz.py from an XP PC on to the drive. When I put it on yet another PC, xyz.py was there, and I copied it on to the PC. Very strange. Note again, I did not have Python installed on the Win 7 PC. I have no idea if any of this is relevant to the attempt to install Py on my Win 7 PC, but it and the sign-on msgs may indicate something is twisted in the registry. Comments? It would be nice to get rid of the two msgs upon sign-on. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.

[Tutor] Python challenge and decryption
Hi list!
This is my first post here but I've been following the list for some time
now! I know that recently there was a message about decryption and all. I
think that was what made me go back into the Python challenge and try to
solve some of them...
For the second one, I first laid on paper my ideas, about user interaction
(or input) and what would do what.
I haven't implemented the user input yet but as I tested I ended up having
some problems. Anticipated but still annoying...
My Python version is 2.7.1 and my OS is Linux Mint 11.
My code is this one:
def decrypt(cypheredText, shiftedCypherNumber):
'''
This function will take two arguments. The first is the cyphered text, the
second
is the number of characters we need to shift the text so we can decrypt it.
This is a Caesar cypher.
'''
crypticText = list(cypheredText)
for letter in crypticText:
asciiValue = ord(letter)
asciiValue += shiftedCypherNumber
newLetter = chr(asciiValue)
print newLetter
This solves the riddle, however some characters are not correctly
decyphered (a is coming back as {...) and prints the solution like this:
r
e
c
o
m
m
e
n
d
e
d
0
n
o
w
{
p
p
l
y
o
n
t
h
e
u
r
l
- How can I make this Human readable? ... Print the letters in just one
(or more) lines and maybe replace the for spaces (This one I suppose it
could/should be done with whitespaces() or just making a loop to check and
change those for ' '.)
Thanks for your time!

You will need to restart any open command prompt but not the full machine. PATH=%PATH%;c:\python27 That should pick up the system variables and then append python's location to it. http://geekswithblogs.net/renso/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-set-the-windows-path-in-windows-7.aspx If that does not work; then feel free to follow James's advice and then restart.

Re: [Tutor] Request for guidance about a python syntax
Hi, That's amazing. Thanks for sharing this information.

I want to have a possibility to import modules from the folder, which is not included in the load path. Example: module.py - def testfunc(name): file = open(name) return len(file.readlines()) if __name__ == __main__: print testfunc(module.py) Code listing (shell): python /Users/Username/pythonmodules/module.py NameError: name 'module.py' is not defined Kind regards. First rule: include the complete error message, including the traceback. Also, make sure you copy/paste the message, not paraphrase or retype it. Anyway, chances are the error occurs because you didn't have any quotes around the filename. Python is forced to look up the name module in the global dictionary, and it can't find it. Of course, the error message wouldn't be exactly that. -- DaveA ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Anyway, with a PATH like that, you won't be able to type Python at a command prompt.

Re: [Tutor] A few Python Mysteries
It became apparent during the other part of this thread that I had not uninstalled Python 2.7, as I thought I had. As pointed out in the PATH discussion (James R.), the last item in the system variable PATH was Python25. I would think then changing it to Python27 might Python rolling again. -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
