No [easy] way to go from bytecodes back to AST, but I see no reason why you 
can't create a new code object with your filename and line numbers and then 
create a new function using your modified code object.

If you don't have a 1:1 correspondence of lines then you'll need to pick 
out all the existing line numbers from the code object co_lnotab and modify 
them: see dis.py findlinestarts() for how to do this.

Classes would be harder: the decorator doesn't run until after the class 
body has executed, so you can't change the line numbers that way until it's 
too late. The only thing I can think would be to put all of the generated 
code inside a function and fix up that function with a decorator that scans 
the bytecode to find all contained classes and fix them up.

Or you could generate a .pyc file and then fix up line numbers in the whole 
file: see 
http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200804/the_structure_of_pyc_files.html for 
some code that shows you what's in a .pyc

An alternative solution is to add a handler to the root logger only. If

Remove "handlers=consoleHandler" from abc section.

PyKota, Python: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_quote'

[JohannesTU]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to linux/suse, but I was given the task to install the print
accounting software PyKota.
Before that I never even touched a linux system, so I don't have any basic
knowlegde at all!
Up to now I was able to solve all problems with the help of google, but now
I'm stuck.

My problem:


linux-6n5c:/usr/local/bin # pkusers --add john paul
Creation...
ERROR: PyKota v1.26_official

I have no idea how to deal with it or what it even means!

Executing "linux-6n5c:/usr/local/bin # pkusers" works fine and shows me
commands, version number etc.
But adding users or printers (with pkprinters) won't work.

I would be really thankful if anyone could give me some advice or hints how
to solve the problem!

Kind regards
Johannes

My latest concept is to produce code that rewrites itself.  Suppose the
naive file would be
--- mycode.py (naive) 
class SomeClass:
"class comment"

def some_function(self, bar):
pass
- end ---

Protect that code by putting  an "if 0:" in front of it and indenting
each line one space.  Than prepend a bit of code to do the rewriting,
and add indicators of the original line numbers.

--- mycode.py (after wrapping) -
from detangle import detangle
detangle("mycode.py", "mycode.nw")
if 0:
 # original code goes here
 class SomeClass:
"class comment"
 #and when line numbering changes
 #line 35
def some_function(self, bar):
   pass
- end ---
I would write detangle so that it scans through the file in which it
appears (named in the first argument), rewriting so that it appears to
come from the original file (mycode.nw) given in the second argument.

The scanning would look for the "if 0:" in the file.  At that point it
would accumulate code by reading lines and stripping the leading space.
If it found a #line directive it would remember it and then remove it
from the string it was accumulating.  Finally, detangle would would
pass the string of code to ast.compile, catching any syntax errors and
rewriting the file and line number (I might rewrite columns too with an
extension) and then rethrowing them.

If compilation succeeded detangle could rewrite the AST and then exec
it.

HTTP logging

[Jason Friedman]

I am logging to HTTP:

logger.addHandler(logging.handlers.HTTPHandler(host, url))

Works great, except if my HTTP server happens to be unavailable:

socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused

Other than wrapping all my logger.log() calls in try/except blocks, is
there a way to skip logging to the HTTPhandler if the HTTP server is
unavailable?

short answer:

use

> logging.raiseExceptions = 0


long and incomplete answer:

log calls should not raise any exception.

http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#handler-objects

"Handler.handleError(record)
This method should be called from handlers when an exception is 
encountered during an emit() call. By default it does nothing, which 
means that exceptions get silently ignored. This is what is mostly 
wanted for a logging system - most users will not care about errors in 
the logging system, they are more interested in application errors. You 
could, however, replace this with a custom handler if you wish. The 
specified record is the one which was being processed when the exception 
occurred"

"

However, I looked into the code and find out an (undocumented ?) 
attribute of the logging module : raiseException which value is set to 1 
by default (python 2.5.2 logging.__version__ < '0.5.0.2' > ).


When set to 1, handlerError print the traceback.

This has been probably fixed in recent version of the module since the 
handleError doc does not reference raiseException anymore.

The error traceback explained: Python is trying to call a function named 
_quote() in a module named pg. The most likely reason is either that you 
have the wrong version of the module or a module unrelated to the required 
one that has the same name and appears earlier in Python's search path.

You can start debugging with

$ python2.7 -c'import pg; print pg.__file__'

to find out the filename and then look into the corresponding .py file.
If that is related to postgresql you are probably seeing a version mismatch.
Consult PyKota's documentation to find out the program's dependencies.

paper submission and versioning system - advice?

[Brian Blais]

Hello,

I'd like to find a web-based system to help a committee I'm on, where we 
receive proposals from different faculty.  I wrote something in python, from 
scratch, a number of years ago because there wasn't anything available then but 
it is showing its age and I figured that someone has written something. 

Essentially I need users to be able to start a proposal, with some basic 
information, and then be able to add files to it.  Other users will be allowed 
to add files as well, but I'd like to limit deletions to the committee members. 
 

It seems as if there just has to be available tools like this, but I am not 
even sure what such a system is called.  Is there anything like this, in python 
preferably?


thanks,

Brian Blais

Actually, I think it's a mistake in the docs - when they were
reorganised a few months ago, the text referring to raiseExceptions
was moved to the tutorial:

http://docs.python.org/howto/logging.html#exceptions-raised-during-logging

I will reinstate it in the reference API docs, but the answer to
Jason's problem is to either subclass HTTPHandler and override
handleError to suppress the error, or set logging.raiseExceptions to
True (in which case all logging exceptions will be swallowed - not
necessarily what he wants).

This (written for Python 3.x, needs some attribute names changing for 
Python 2.x:

import functools
def source_line(lineno, filename = None):
def decorator(f):
c = f.__code__
code = type(c)(
c.co_argcount, c.co_kwonlyargcount, c.co_nlocals, 
c.co_stacksize, c.co_flags, c.co_code,
c.co_consts, c.co_names, c.co_varnames,
c.co_filename if filename is None else filename,
c.co_name,
lineno,
c.co_lnotab, c.co_freevars, c.co_cellvars)
f.__code__ = code
return f
return decorator


@source_line(43, 'foo.bar')
def foo():
"""This is foo"""
for i in range(10):
bar()

@source_line(665, 'evil.txt')
def bar():
raise RuntimeError("oops")

if __name__=='__main__':
import traceback
try:
foo()
except RuntimeError as ex:
traceback.print_exc()

When you run it the output looks something like this (if you create a 
file evil.txt with 667 lines):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\temp\foo.py", line 30, in 
foo()
  File "foo.bar", line 47, in foo
  File "evil.txt", line 667, in bar
Evil line 667

netCDF4 variable manipulation

[Sheldon]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a netCDF4 variable from a file (no problem) and
then scale it before writing over the original variable in the file.

I'm using python 2.7 and the latest netCDF4 module. It's not that I
keep getting an error message but I want to do this without using for
loops and all the manuals seems to be skipping this task as if it is
never done. I'm new to python and coming over from matlab. Does anyone
know how to modify the netCDF4 variable in python and then write it
back without creating a new variable, or using for loops?

Appreciate the help,

The missing features is why I wish SL4A's Python were based on jython or
the java version of pypy.  Apparently each new function needs a stub for
the SL4A CPython; something that runs on a JVM (OK: Dalvik really, but it's
almost the same thing) should be able to call java functions directly.

Are you using netcdf version 4, or is that name just a coincidence?  If 
you're using a 3rd party library, you really should say so, and post a 
link, for those curious.


in any case, if you are, I can't help you.  This is apparently some 
special kind of variable similar to a numpy array.



On the other hand, you may just be asking how to update some bytes in a 
file, in place.  if you read the file in binary mode, then you can use 
seek() to go back the appropriate distance, and simply write it.

There is no such thing as "the netCDF4 variable" in Python -- it is not a 
built-in part of the language, and therefore there is no built-in feature 
for manipulating it.

You are going to have to be more specific about what you want than just 
"how do I modify a variable with for loops?".

My wild guess is that you have some sort of config file which includes a 
field called "netCDF4" and you want to update it in place. We can't tell 
you how to do this without knowing what the config file is -- is it an 
INI file, XML, JSON, YAML, Unix-style rc file, a binary pickle, or 
something else?

I don't know the first thing about this math problem however,

if I were to code this I might try ;

 assert w = -1

rather than;

   except ZeroDivisionError:
 assert w == -1


Why?

Why not is probably a better question, given that Dennis Lee Bieber and 
Dave Angel have already pointed out that this is not legal Python, it'll 
give a syntax error.

Frankly, I'd start at a much higher level than a web framework. I
think you could easily get what you want from a ticketing system like
Trac: http://trac.edgewall.org/

Trac's tickets would be proposals in your system; I believe you can
attach files to them by default, and even limit the size & type of
attachments. There's a permissions mechanism that would provide your
committee members with higher levels of access. It sits by default on
SVN, so there's your versioning, and provides a wiki, so it's easy to
add supporting documentation to the site. It also provides a very
elegant plug-in system for easy extension, and is all in Python.

Python Game Programming Challenge (PyWeek) #14 is coming!

[Richard Jones]

The 14th Python Game Programming Challenge (PyWeek) is coming. It'll
run from the 22nd to the 29th of April.

  http://pyweek.org/14/

New user registration is NOT YET OPEN. It will open one month before
the challenge starts.

The PyWeek challenge:

- Invites entrants to write a game in one week from scratch either as
an individual or in a team,
- Is intended to be challenging and fun,
- Will hopefully increase the public body of game tools, code and expertise,
- Will let a lot of people actually finish a game, and
- May inspire new projects (with ready made teams!)

If you're in the US and can make it I'm co-presenting a 3 hour pygame
tutorial at PyCon in March.

Should I acquire lock for logging.Handler.flush()?

[Fayaz Yusuf Khan]

I'm writing a custom logging Handler that sends emails through AWS Simple 
Email Service using the boto library.
As there's a quota cap on how many (200) emails I can send within 24hrs, I 
think I need to buffer my log messages from the emit() calls (Or is that a bad 
idea?).
And I was reading the Handler documentation and was confused if I should call 
the acquire() and release() methods from within a flush() call.
