Re: [Tutor] classmethod, staticmethod functions (decorator related)
Thank you all,
I was taking a look at the module decimal.py as you cited, and it makes
sense now. Looks very useful to make tools without having to instantiate
anything.

The most common use for classmethods is to implement alternative
constructors. For example, in the Decimal class starting in version 2.7
and 3.1, you have two constructors:
from decimal import Decimal
Decimal(1.2345)
Decimal('1.2345')
Decimal.from_float(1.2345)
Decimal('1.2344307220832633902318775653839111328125')
from_float is a class method.

[Tutor] classmethod, staticmethod functions (decorator related)
I am reading the decorator section within Expert Python Programming and I am very confused in the first example, of a method that was done before decorators. It reads: class WhatFor(object): def it(cls): print 'work with %s' % cls it = classmethod(it) def uncommon(): print 'I could be a global function' uncommon = staticmethod(uncommon) But I can't seem to understand the above. Under what circumstance would staticmethod be useful?

Re: [Tutor] Where to start with Unit Testing
Thanks additionally for your insight gems. Without reading too much into it, it was quite simple to create a series of test classes which just run some expected assertion values on a small scenario of inputs and what's expected. I usually find that I learn best by dabbling around in source code, then writing some code to test what I think I know. I'll try to integrate this and commit this to memory with time where I won't have to look back as much (: On Sun, Aug 1, 2010 at 9:25 AM, Mac Ryan quasipe...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, 2010-08-01 at 03:30 -0400, Huy Ton That wrote: Hi all, Do any of you have any feedback, strategies and best practices related to unit testing within Python. This is a relatively new topic for me. I was thinking of starting with reading the documentation associate with the unittest module. My answer falls in the category feedback (I was also going to mention the diveintopython page, but somebody else has done that already!), so you should be aware what follows is highly subjective... JUST THINK... IN PYTHON! IMO, unit testing is really easy to pick up. It really does not amount to much more than taking note (in python) of what you are thinking when you are coding. If you are anything like me, when you code you keep on formulating rules in your head, in the line of when everything works as expected, if the methods iterates four times, then this method must return X or when everything works as expected, if a user enter a value over 212 then the script must throw this exception, etc... * the when everything works as expected translates in this test pass when... * the if X translates in your test case (i.e. the scenario you are testing for) * the then Y translates in the outcome of my test case must be Y TESTING IS VALUABLE IN THE LONG RUN At times, designing and coding a test is a time-consuming activity, and if the code is particularly straightforward you might be tempted to skip the unit testing altogether. In my experience - however - unit testing is never as useful on the spot as it is three months from now, when you will have/want/choose to modify a little bit of your old code, and all of a sudden everything will break. In the latter scenario, your test suite will be an invaluable asset. FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING WINS The most difficult thing in writing a test, is replicating the state of the environment needed for the test to happen. This is especially (but not uniquely) true for DB-driven applications, when you might wish to perform test on methods that interact with the DB. In that case you have to create a test DB, populate it with ~credible data, etc... The most functional (as in functional programming, i.e. machine-state independent) is your code, the easiest is to write a test. Example: if you need to check a method that validate the postal code of an address based on the name of the city, it is easier to test a method that is invoked with validate_postal_code(code, city) rather than one that is invoked with validate_postal_address(user) and that will have to retrieve the full address of a user from a DB, and extract the city and postal address from it. MVC WINS I never test UI's. I know it is bad... but it is simply too time-consuming for me (I'll be very glad if somebody reading this will show me how one can make it snappier!). This means - at least for me - that writing tests become extremely easier for me if I keep separated the presentation layer from all the rest of the stuff. EVERY BUG IS A TEST YET NOT WRITTEN A program that passes all its tests is not necessarily a bug-free program. But once you find a new bug, try to make a point of writing a new test that check for that particular scenario in which said bug is happening. TEST-DRIVEN IS BETTER What I find useful (although not always applicable) is to start my programming session by writing the tests before I write the code to be tested. This somehow reconnect to my previously articulated just think... in python! point: you are however *already doing a list of rules* in your head, before writing code, so you could well write it down directly in code. All you need is to create a mock method/function in your code with the same signature you are using in your test. For example. You could write tests in the form: assertEqual(better_square_root(9), 3) assertRaises(ValueError, better_square_root, -4) and then write in your module: def my_better_square_root(number): pass all your tests will of course initially fail, but then you will keep on working on the code of my_better_square_root until all your tests pass. Well, these are just my two ¢...

I want to make desktop GUI applications and I don't use MVC, so the idea of writing tests strikes me as far more work--and a major delayer of getting to an application that actually does something-- than simply using the software myself and noting problems. It sounds like TDD is probably the most proper way to go about things, but, in the interest of getting something out of Python to warrant the time I've put into it, I favor a good enough approach for now. Writers just call this a rough draft. Perfection is in the revisions that come after a little thought. Well, I don't see what I'm doing as a rough draft, as I am attempting to hone it to perfection (that is, a working app)--just without unit testing. Every time you try to perfect is a revision of your initial 'written' algorithm. From concept forward is your revisions. Notice that svn and cvs are called revisions. How quickly is a different story. To you, your writing and rewriting, but each rewrite is a revision of the initial concept. And as far as i can tell, if you want to be the unit test yourself, it's fine, but unit testing might be inappropriate for something like this. But basically unit testing would be a script that inputs the possible combinations of requests to the original script, which should be tested like chefs do soups-intermittently as you design it. So the tests are really what you put or type as input given directly to the script , right?. A different analogy comes to my mind; I once saw two different sets of people analyze data. One did it by hand: visually inspecting thousands of signals herself and typing Y or N to accept or reject each signal. The other did it with an automated system that accepted or rejected signals based on fuzzy logic. This depends on your need for control, do you need to manually accept, or can you just detect the signal, and let the program proceedl. Do you want the local nuclear plant to have their system throw an error, without a human response? In an important interpretation, the automated system was far better, and yet the first scientist was done with her analysis and accepted for publication before the second team even had the bugs worked out of the automated system! Like you state below, the automated system used, evolved from manually designed systems, so automation is the easy way, but sometimes not the best, depending on the circumstance and priority level of the information being received.

I'm starting new and would like recommendations on books I can read. Kindly help me out. I want to get my hands dirty as fast as I can so that I can be part of the project. Thanks and Best regards, I have six books on my bookshelf for Django. There are others I don't have. Django 1.0 Template Development is my favorite. Many of them walk you through building apps step by step. Do a search on Amazon. That is where I got most of them. -- Jeff --- Jeff Johnson j...@dcsoftware.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
