Install Mac OS X - Idle doesn't show up

[Dominique]

Hello,

Sorry bothering you with such a trivial problem.

I installed python on a new mac at office.
It seems everything is fine: in the console, I access to python.
But I just can't start Idle. It seems to open but closes immediately (it appears
in the dock and closes immediately).
It is also impossible to open any .py file.

I am sure some of you have a good idea of what to do (path,...).

Thanks in advance
Dominique

How to convert a ">" into a >

[dominique]

Hello All,

In a wx GUI,  I would like to let the user choose between >, < or =.
So, I created a combobox and when the user chooses ">" for instance, I
wanted to return > (the objective is to send the operator into another
complex method):
Example:
if variable == ">":
return >

But this is invalid syntax.

How can I transform a ">" into the > operator ie without parenthesis,
so that I can load it into another function ?

Thanks in advance

Dominique

Python and VT100

[Dominique Bouré]

Using Python (Command line version, not IDLE, nor pythonwin)

With Linux, print "\033[33mHello" prints a brown hello. Fine!
With Windows, the VT100 sequence seems to be unknown?


Why? and how can I correct that?

Unicode in cgi-script with apache2

[Dominique Ramaekers]

Hi,

I've got a little script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
print("Content-Type: text/html")
print("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate")# HTTP/1.1
print("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT") # Date in the past
print("")
f = open("/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "r")
for line in f:
print(line,end='')

If I run the script in the terminal, it nicely prints the webpage 
'index.html'.


If access the script through a webbrowser, apache gives an error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 
1791: ordinal not in range(128)


I've done a hole afternoon of reading on fora and blogs, I don't have a 
solution.


Can anyone help me?

Greetings,

Dominique.

Re: Unicode in cgi-script with apache2

[Dominique Ramaekers]

I fond my problem, I will describe it more at the bottom of this message...

But first...

Thanks Alister for the tips:
1) This evening, I've researched WSGI. I found that WSGI is more 
advanced than CGI and I also think WSGI is more the Python way. I'm an 
amateur playing around with my imagination on a small virtual server 
(online cloudserver.ramaekers-stassart.be). I'm trying to build 
something rather specific. I also like to make things as basic as 
possible. My first thought was not to use a framework. This because with 
a framework I didn't really know what the code is doing. For a 
framework, for me, would be a black-box. But after inspecting WSGI, I 
got the idea not to make it myself more difficult than it has to be. I 
will work with a framework and I think I'll put my chances on Falcon 
(for it's speed, small size and it doesn't seem to difficult)... There 
are a lot of frameworks, so if someone wants to point me to an other 
framework, I'm open to suggestions...


2) Your tip, to use 'encode' did not solve the problem and created a new 
one. My lines were incapsulted in quotes and I got a lot of \b's and 
\n's... and I still got the same error.


3) I didn't got the message from JMF, so...

What seems to be the problem:
My Script was ok. I know this because in the terminal I got my expected 
output. Python3 uses UTF-8 coding as a standard. The problem is, when 
python 'prints' to the apache interface, it translates the string to 
ascii. (Why, I never found an answer). Somewhere in the middle of my 
index.html file, there are letters like ë and ü. If Python tries to 
translate these, Python throws an error. If I delete these letters in 
the file, the script works perfectly in a browser! In Python2.7 the 
script can easily be tweaked so the translation to ascii isn't done, but 
in Python3, its a real pain in the a... I've read about people who 
managed to force Python3 to 'print' to apache in UTF-8, but none of 
their solutions worked for me.
I think the programmers of Python doesn't want to focus on Python + 
apache + CGI (I think it only happens with apache and not with an other 
http-server). I don't think they do this intentional but I guess they 
assume that if you use Python to make a web-application, you also use 
mod_wsgi or mod_python (in apache)...

So I'll use wsgi, It's a little more work but it seems really neat...

grtz

Greetings,

1) this is not the way to get python to generate a web page, if you dont
want to use an existing framework (for example if you are doing this ans
an educational exercise) i suggest to google SWGI

2) you need to encode your output strings  into a format apache/html
protocols can support - UTF8 is probably best here.
change your pint function to
print(line.encode('utf'),end='')


3) Ignore any subsequent advice from JMF even when he is trying to help
he is invariable wrong.

Re: Unicode in cgi-script with apache2

Hi John,

The error is in the line "print(line,end='')"... and it only happens 
when the script is started from a webbrowser. In the terminal, the 
script works fine.

See my previous mail for my findings after a lot of reading and trying...

Hi Peter,

Your code seems interesting.

I've tried using sys.stdout (in a slightly different form) but it gave 
the same error.


I also read about people who fixed the error by changing the servers 
locale to en_US.UTF-8. The people who posted these fixes also said that 
you can only use en_US.UTF-8 (and not ex. nl_BE.UTF8)... Anyway, It 
didn't work for me. And I find this a dirty fix because, I don't want to 
use US locale...


Please excuse me not to try out your specific solutions. I've already 
started to implement WSGI over CGI. See my previous message...

If the input and output encoding are the same you can avoid the byte-to-text
(and subsequent text-to-byte conversion) and serve the binary contents of
the index.html file directly:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys

print("Content-Type: text/html")
print("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate")# HTTP/1.1
print("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT") # Date in the past
print("")
sys.stdout.flush()
with open("/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "rb") as f:
 for line in f:
 sys.stdout.buffer.write(line)

The flush() is necessary to write pending data before accessing the lowlevel
stdout.buffer. Instead of the loop you can use any of these:

sys.stdout.buffer.write(f.read()) # not for huge files, but should be OK for
   # typical html file sizes
sys.stdout.buffer.writelines(f)
shutil.copyfileobj(f, sys.stdout.buffer) # show off your knowledge
  # of the stdlib ;)


Alternatively you could choose an encoding via the locale:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8")

print("Content-Type: text/html")
print("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate")# HTTP/1.1
print("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT") # Date in the past
print("")
with open("/var/www/cgi-data/index.html") as f:
 for line in f:
 print(line, end='')

Python should then use UTF-8 as the default for i/o and the resulting
scripts looks more familiar.

Is this a message appearing in the apache error log or in the browser? If
it is appearing in the browser, this is probably apache passing through a
python error message.

Is this the complete error message?

What happens when you try and access http://[server]/cgi-data/index.html
directly in a web browser? You may need to copy the file to a different
directory to do this depending on the apache configuration.

Re: Unicode in cgi-script with apache2

[Dominique Ramaekers]

* My system is a linux-box.

* I've tried using encoding="utf-8". It didn't fix things.

* That print uses sys.stdout would explain, using sys.stdout isn't better.

* My locale and the system-wide locale is UTF-8. Using SetEnv 
PYTHONIOENCODING utf-8 didn't fix things


* The file is encoded UTF-8...

I can not speak for anybody else but in my search I don't believe to 
have read about someone who had the problem on a Windows-system. They 
all used linux (different kinds of flavors) or OS-X... This is the first 
time I've encountered a situation where Windows is better in encoding 
issues :P +1 for Microsoft...


I think that Apache (*nix versions) doesn't tell Python, she's accepting 
UTF-8. Or Python doesn't listen right... Maybe I should place a bug 
report in both projects?

Is the apache server running on a linux or a windows platform?

The problem may not be python, it may be the underlying OS. I wonder if
apache is spawning a process for python though, and if so whether it is
in some way constraining the character set available to stdout of the
spawned process.

 From your other message, the error appears to be a python error on
reading the input file. For some reason python seems to be trying to
interpret the file it is reading as ascii.

I wonder if specifying the binary data parameter and / or utf-8 encoding
when opening the file might help.

eg:

f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "rb" )
f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "rb", encoding="utf-8" )
f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "r", encoding="utf-8" )

I've managed to drive down a bit further in the problem:

print() goes to sys.stdout

This is part of what the docs say about sys.stdout:

"""
The character encoding is platform-dependent. Under Windows, if the
stream is interactive (that is, if its isatty() method returns True), the
console codepage is used, otherwise the ANSI code page. Under other
platforms, the locale encoding is used (see locale.getpreferredencoding
()).

Under all platforms though, you can override this value by setting the
PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable before starting Python.
"""

At this point, details of the OS become very significant. If your server
is running on a windows platform you may need to figure out how to make
apache set the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable to "utf-8" (or
whatever else is appropriate) before calling the python script.

I believe that the following line in your httpd.conf may have the
required effect.

SetEnv PYTHONIOENCODING utf-8

Of course, if the file is not encoded as utf-8, but rather something
else, then use that as the encoding in the above suggestions. If the
server is not running windows, then I'm not sure where the problem might
be.

-Conclusion--
Steven was right. It was a read error => with encoding2 script the file 
is read in UTF-8. Dough, I find it strange. The file is in UTF-8 and 
Python3 has UTF-8 as standard. But reading the file is fixed.


Now the writing is still broken

Here are some tests hinted before:

ANSI_X3.4-1968

I found you can define the coding of the script with a special comment: 
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


Now I don't get an error but my special chars still doesn't display well.
The script:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
def application(environ, start_response):
status = '200 OK'
output = 'Hello World! é ü à ũ'
#output = sys.getfilesystemencoding() #1

response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
start_response(status, response_headers)

return [output]

Gives in the browser as output:

Hello World! é ü à ũ

And if I check the encoding with the python script (uncommenting line 
#1), I still get ANSI_X3.4-1968


This is really getting on my nerves.

Problem with PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR

[Dominique . Holzwarth]

Hello everyone

I'm doing a transformation with (MSXML) from a xml file to a tex file
(actually it's just output format "text" with tex commands inside).

The output of the transformation (a big string containg the whole file)
contains a so called 'paragraph separator' (unicode: 2029). If I want to
pring that string (file) to the std out or a file object then I get a
"UnicodeError" saying that the unicode 2029 can't be encoded...

Can anyone please tell me how I should handle that paragraph seperator?
I must say, that I don't even know WHY my output file has such a
character but I'd kinda like to keep it there and just be able to store
the string in a file object / print it to console...

Thanks in advance

Dominique

RE: Problem with PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR

[Dominique . Holzwarth]

Actually that's what I tried to do, for example:
outputString = myString.encode('iso-8859-1','ignore')

However, I always get such messages (the character, that's causing problems 
varies, but its always higher than 127 ofc...)

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 51: ordinal not in range(128) 

It doesn't matter what encoding I use (tried 'utf-8' 'utf-16' 'latin_1' and the 
iso one). The debugger is showing all the special characters (from french and 
german language) so I'm wondering why there's still the message about the 
'ascii' codec...

Would that mean that the string "myString" is an ascii-string or what?

You have to encode the unicode object in an encoding that know this character.  
UTF-8 might be a candidate encoding for this.

Re: Reinstall python 2.3 on OSX 10.3.5?

[Dominique O. Martel]

0) compile and install GNU readline 5.0 with the usual ./configure
method
ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-5.0.tar.gz

1) as an administrator, remove the contents of
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework"

2) install Python from the standard distribution:
 ./configure --enable-framework=/System/Library/Frameworks
make
sudo make frameworkinstall

3) install the extras in /Applications if you want to:
sudo make frameworkinstallextras
Move them to /Developer/Applications/Utilities/MacPython-2.3

4) remove every python* from /usr/local/bin
Those in /usr/bin/ are OK for Python 2.3

5) replace
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages"
with a symbolic link to "/Library/Python/2.3". Name it "site-packages".

I have installed and used Python 2.3.x this way without any problem
whatsoever.

importing module

[Holzwarth, Dominique (Berne Branch)]

Hi all

Lets assume I have the following structure of directories and python modules:

Root-dir
|_dir1
  |_ script1.py
|_dir2
  |_ script2.py
  |_sudir2
 |_ script3.py

Is it possible to import script1 into script2 and script3? Or do have to put 
script1.py into the Lib\site-packages folder of my Python installation so that 
it'll be in the standard module search path?

Thx & greets
Dominique
