Thanks, I was going to ask Algis that same question.

But still, is this solution really faster or better than the one using
list comprehension and the expression 'x*x'?
It seems to me that the above solution (using hypot) involves repeated
square roots (with subsequent squaring).

Best regards,

Best way to compute length of arbitrary dimension vector?

2011-05-30 Thread Gabriel
Well, the subject says it almost all: I'd like to write a small Vector
class for arbitrary-dimensional vectors.

I am wondering what would be the most efficient and/or most elegant
way to compute the length of such a Vector?

Right now, I've got

  def length(self): 
# x.length() = || x ||
total = 0.0
for k in range(len(self._coords)):
  d = self._coords[k]
  total += d*d
return sqrt(total)

However, that seems a bit awkward to me (at least in Python ;-) ).

I know there is the reduce() function, but I can't seem to find a way
to apply that to the case here (at least, not without jumping through
too many hoops).

I have also googled a bit, but found nothing really elegant.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Gabriel.

Event objects Threading on Serial Port on Win32

2006-06-27 Thread Gabriel
David:
Tube el mismo problema que vos con el hilo del ejemplo de pyserial. Me
paso que en Linux andaba bien, obvio, pero tenia un pequeño
problemilla en Windows, también obvio.

Lo solucione de la siguiente manera:
Asi es el codigo original de la función ComPortThread

def ComPortThread(self):
"""Thread that handles the incomming traffic. Does the basic input
   transformation (newlines) and generates an SerialRxEvent"""

while self.alive.isSet():   #loop while alive event is true
if self.ser.inWaiting() != 0:
text = self.ser.read()
event = SerialRxEvent(self.GetId(), text)
self.GetEventHandler().AddPendingEvent(event)


solo tiene que agregarle el siguiente bucle antes que nada:
while not self.alive.isSet():
pass

quedándote así dicha función...

def ComPortThread(self):
"""Thread that handles the incomming traffic. Does the basic input
   transformation (newlines) and generates an SerialRxEvent"""
while not self.alive.isSet():
pass

while self.alive.isSet():   #loop while alive event is true
if self.ser.inWaiting() != 0:
text = self.ser.read()
event = SerialRxEvent(self.GetId(), text)
self.GetEventHandler().AddPendingEvent(event)

y listo... Con eso debería andar
Espero haber sido útil

Web authentication urllib2

2009-01-24 Thread Gabriel

Hello,

I'm new in Python and i would like to write script which need to login 
to a website. I'm experimenting with urllib2,

especially with something like this:

opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor())
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

params = urllib.urlencode(dict(username='user', password='pass'))
f = opener.open('https://web.com', params)
data = f.read()
f.close()

And the problem is, that this code logs me in on some sites, but on 
others doesn't, especially on the one I really
need to login. And i don't know why. So is there some way how to debug 
this code and find out why that script cannot

login on that specific site?

Sorry if this question is too lame, but i am really beginner both in 
python and web programming .)

I added it to the parameters but it didn't help..

params = urllib.urlencode(dict(login='login', pwd='pass', page=''))
f = opener.open('https://www.orangeportal.sk/', params)

Login and pass are fake ofc.

Thank you in advice for any help.

That's actually pretty good code for a newcomer! There are a couple of
issues you may be running into.

First, not all sites use "application-based" authentication - they may
use HTTP authentication of some kind instead. In that case you have to
pass the username and password as a part of the HTTP headers. Michael
Foord has done a fair write-up of the issues at

  http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/authentication.shtml

and you will do well to read that if, indeed, you need to do basic
authentication.

Second, if it *is* the web application that's doing the authentication
in the sites that are failing (in other words if the credentials are
passed in a web form) then your code may need adjusting to use other
field names, or to include other data as required by the login form. You
can usually find out what's required by reading the HTML source of the
page that contains the login form.

Thirdly [nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition ...], it may be that
some sites are extraordinarily sensitive to programmed login attempts
(possible due to spam), typically using a check of the "Agent:" HTTP
header to "make sure" that the login attempt is coming from a browser
and not a program. For sites like these you may need to emulate a
browser response more fully.

You can use a program like Wireshark to analyze the network traffic,
though you can get add-ons for Firefox that will show you the HTTP
headers on request and response.

You can use pylibpcap to capture packets, and then use a raw
socket to send them out again on whatever interface you want.
You'll have to make sure that the host's OS's network stack
isn't going to process the packets at all.  I'm not sure how
you go about that.

The documentation for pylibpcap is built into the module. See
doc.i in the tarball.



And note that this won't work on Vista, where the raw socket interface
is no longer available to standard applications.

 Steve




Thanks guys

I don't care about Vista. What i will (i hope only) need is a linux
system with two net devices running router,
XP hosts connected (not only two.. hubs, switches) and these hosts have
to ping via router.

Hello
I'm using this function to read data in byte format from file

def readBytes(file, offset, size):

file is opened with open function:

file = open(path, "rb")

def getIntValOfBytes(bytes):
   value = i = 0
   for byte in array.array('B', bytes):
   value |= byte << (8 * i)
   i += 1
  
   return value


when i read one portion of bytes everything works ok. but now i need 
read from more locations in file, then somehow merge these data together 
and then pass to getIntValOfBytes function..


i tried list

list = []
for offset in offsets
list.extend(readBytes(file, offset, size))
 
or string


string = ""
for offset in offsets
string += readBytes(file, offset, size)

but with list i get this error

   for byte in array.array('B', bytes):
TypeError: an integer is required

in getIntValOfBytes (i passed the part of the list to the method, list[x:y])

and with string it just freeze

issue with twisted and reactor. Can't stop reactor

2009-05-11 Thread Gabriel
Hello all!,

I'm trying to implement a simple one way communication using twisted.

Sender:
> send message
> close connection

Receiver:
> receive
> do something
> wait for other message

I'm testing with this simple examples:
Sender:
[code]
class SenderClient(protocol.Protocol):

def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data

def connectionMade(self):
self.transport.write(self.data)

def dataReceived(self, data):
self.transport.loseConnection()

def connectionLost(self, reason):
pass

class SenderFactory(protocol.ClientFactory):

def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data

def buildProtocol(self, addr):
return SenderClient(self.data)

def clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason):
logger.error("Connection failed. Reason %s" % reason)
reactor.stop()

def clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason):
reactor.stop()

class Sender(object):

def __init__(self, host='localhost', port=61610):
self.host = host
self.port = port

def send(self, data):
reactor.connectTCP(self.host, self.port, SenderFactory(data))
reactor.run()
[/code]

Receiver:
[code]
from twisted.internet import reactor, protocol

class Receiver(protocol.Protocol):

def dataReceived(self, data):
self.transport.write("success")
print data

def main():
factory = protocol.ServerFactory()
factory.protocol = Receiver
reactor.listenTCP(61610,factory)
reactor.run()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
[/code]

When I call send the first time it works fine, when I call send a
second time the sender hangs.
If I hit ctrl+c it throws:

[quote]
.../twisted/internet/base.py", line 527, in stop
"Can't stop reactor that isn't running.")
twisted.internet.error.ReactorNotRunning: Can't stop reactor that isn't running.
[/quote]

Any idea why this is happening?

how to find the last decorator of a chain

2009-05-30 Thread Gabriel
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Hi,

I have something like this:

@render(format="a")
@render(format="b")
@
def view(format, data):
  return data

Each render will do something with 'data' if format match, and nothing
if not.

But if there is no more renders to eval, the last one is the default,
and must run even if the format doesn't match.

In my understanding this equivalent to:

render('a',
 render('b',
  view(***)))

Is there any way to know, in this case, that 'a' is the 'default' format?

PS: the number of renders could be 1 or more.

Hi Bruno

Thanks for clearing that up. Your example certainly works well, I will study
list comprehension a little more.

List behaviour

2008-05-15 Thread Gabriel
Hi all

Just wondering if someone could clarify this behaviour for me, please?

>>> tasks = [[]]*6
>>> tasks
[[], [], [], [], [], []]
>>> tasks[0].append(1)
>>> tasks
[[1], [1], [1], [1], [1], [1]]

Well what I was expecting to end up with was something like:
>>> tasks
[[1], [], [], [], [], []]


I got this example from page 38 of Beginning Python.

[ANN] Python/Cython/SDL 2D Game Engine

2012-02-22 Thread Gabriel Jacobo
Hello list, I wanted to let you know about my pet project for the last few
months, a multiplatform (Linux64/Win32/Android at the moment),
Python/Cython/SDL open source 2D game engine called "Ignifuga".
The source code mixes Python and Cython code, then uses Cython to convert
everything to C, and compiles it all along with the Python interpreter and
SDL into a static binary.

It's still a long way of from being something serious, but you can already
make nice Android Live wallpapers with it!

You can check it out at www.ignifuga.org

Thanks!

Can you give an example of what you mean by this?

If I have a function:

how would I patch this function while it is executing?


I think John Nagle was thinking about rebinding names:


def f(self, a, b):
  while b>0:
b = g(b)
c = a + b
d = self.h(c*3)
  return "hello world"*d

both g and self.h may change its meaning from one iteration to the next,  
so a complete name lookup is required at each iteration. This is very  
useful sometimes, but affects performance a lot.

It's a bug. Starting IDLE from the command line, one can actually see the

configparser.InterpolationSyntaxError: '%' must be followed by '%' or '(',

IDLE is attempting to read an entry from its configuration file, but fails  
because of a syntax error in the file (it's an error for a ConfigParser  
entry, %s should be %%s). The same entry was fine for earlier IDLE  
versions. As a workaround, you may edit the offending lines in your  
configuration file.



Go to the idlelib directory; if you don't know where it is, just open idle  
or Python command line and execute:


py> import idlelib
py> idlelib.__file__
'D:\\apps\\python32\\lib\\idlelib\\__init__.py'

In the same directory you'll find config-main.def; open it, and replace  
these lines in the [General] section:


print-command-posix=lpr %%s
print-command-win=start /min notepad /p %%s

(%s should become %%s). Tested on Windows, but Linux should have the same  
problem and temporary solution. You may need to roll this change back when  
the code is corrected.

In a stack trace, is it possible to somehow get the arguments with

So for example, if function `foo` in module `bar` was called with
arguments `(1, [2])` when it raised an exception, then instead of:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bar.py", line 123, in foo
build_rpms()

The stack trace would read:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bar.py", line 123, in foo(1, [2])
build_rpms()

This would save a lot of debugging time!


The cgitb module does exactly that; some third-party modules offer similar

I guess the above try/except was left from some earlier debugging attempt

T0 = 0.5
RO = 0.99


Perhaps those names make sense in your problem at hand, but usually I try
to use more meaningful ones. 0 and O look very similar in some fonts.


for i in range(len(edges)):
total = 0
cost = 0
factor = 1
   liedges = list(edges[i])
linode1 = list(liedges[0])
linode2 = list(liedges[1])


list(something) creates a new list out of the elements from `something`.
You're just iterating here, so there is no need to duplicate those lists.
In addition, Python is not C: the `for` statement iterates over a
collection, you don't have to iterate over the indices and dereference
each item:

for liedges in edges:
linode1 = liedges[0]
linode2 = liedges[1]



distance = (((linode2[0]-linode1[0])%N)^2)+(((linode2[1]-
linode1[1])%N)^2)


That doesn't evaluate what you think it does. ^ is the "bitwise xor"
operator, and I bet you want **, the "power" operator.



total = total + cost
return(total)


return is not a function but a statement; those () are unnecesary and
confusing.
And I think you want to initialize total=0 *before* entering the loop;
also, initializing cost and factor is unnecesary.


def costGeasy(G):
bc = NX.edge_betweenness_centrality(G,normalized=True)
total = 0
for i in range(len(bc)):
total=total+bc.values()[i]

return (total)


bc = NX.edge_betweenness_centrality(G,normalized=True)
values = bc.values()
total = sum(values)
return total

==>

return sum(bc.values())



pos={}
for i in range(NODES):
pos[nod[i]]=(nod[i][0]/(N*1.0),nod[i][1]/(N*1.0))


In Python version 2.x, 1/3 evals to 0, but that's a mistake; it is fixed
in the 3.x version. If you put this line at the top of your script:
  from __future__ import division
then 1/3 returns 0....
When you actually want integer division, use //, like 1//3

So we can rewrite the above as:

  from __future__ import division
...
for node in nod:
pos[node] = (node[0] / N, node[1] / N)

Another way, not relying on true division:

divisor = float(N)
for node in nod:
pos[node] = (node[0] / divisor, node[1] / divisor)

or even:

pos = dict((node, (node[0] / divisor, node[1] / divisor)) for node in nod)



for y in range(NK):
for x in range(ITERATIONS):
cost = costG(G)
if (cost < (best_cost)):
best_graph = G
best_cost = cost
GG = G


Again, I think this doesn't do what you think it does. GG = G means "let's
use the name GG for the object currently known as G". GG is not a "copy"
of G, just a different name for the very same object. Later operations
like GG.remove_edge(...) modify the object - and you'll see the changes in
G, and in best_graph, because those names all refer to the same object.
I think you'll benefit from reading this:
http://effbot.org/zone/python-objects.htm


a = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
b = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
adj=G.adjacency_list()
while ((nod[b] in adj[a]) or (b == a)):
a = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
b = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
GG.add_edge(nod[a],nod[b])


As above, I'd avoid using indexes, take two random nodes using
random.sample instead, and avoid adjacency_list():

while True:
a, b = random.sample(nod, 2)
if b not in G[a]:
  break
GG.add_edge(a, b)

(mmm, I'm unsure of the adjacency test, I've used networkx some time ago
but I don't have it available right now)

for x in range(ITERATIONS):

if (cost < (best_cost)):

Again, I think this doesn't do what you think it does. GG = G means "let's
use the name GG for the object currently known as G". GG is not a "copy"
of G, just a different name for the very same object. Later operations
like GG.remove_edge(...) modify the object - and you'll see the changes in
G, and in best_graph, because those names all refer to the same object.
I think you'll benefit from reading this:
http://effbot.org/zone/python-objects.htm


a = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
b = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
adj=G.adjacency_list()
while ((nod[b] in adj[a]) or (b == a)):
a = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
b = random.randint(0,NODES-1)
GG.add_edge(nod[a],nod[b])


As above, I'd avoid using indexes, take two random nodes using
random.sample instead, and avoid adjacency_list():

while True:
a, b = random.sample(nod, 2)
if b not in G[a]:
  break
GG.add_edge(a, b)

(mmm, I'm unsure of the adjacency test, I've used networkx some time ago
but I don't have it available right now)

Re: Python 2.7.2 for Windows reports version as 2.7.0?

The version info comes from the DLL - I wonder if the DLL being found

Make sure:

>>> import sys

Is the DLL you expect.


After uninstalling and reinstalling for the current user only (vs. all
users), Python now reports the correct version number.

And running your code above confirms that the proper DLL is being loaded
(c:\Python27\Python27.dll).

My original version of Python 2.7.0 was installed for all users and when
I ran the 2.7.2 MSI I chose to install for all users as well.

After running the 2.7.2 MSI, my Python exe's had the correct timestamps,
but I failed to check the python27.dll timestamp to see if this file was
out-of-date.

I wonder if changing my install method to current user forced the
installation of the updated python27.dll? And perhaps the default 2.7.2
installation in all users mode (when one is updating an existing 2.7
installation) doesn't update the Python27.dll under some conditions?


In a "for all users" install, python27.dll goes into c:\windows\system32,  
not c:\python27


Maybe you installed 2.7.0 twice, "for all users" and also "for current  
user only", and both in the same directory (c:\python27). That could  
explain the old .dll in the install directory; the new one goes into  
system32, but the old one takes precedence.

Yes, I think I do have a good use for this: importing either pure python  
or

cython versions of a module into a single namespace that can provide the
same interface (transparent to the caller), whether C extension modules  
are

viable in the current interpreter or not.  So you have a stub module that
provides one or the other, depending on availability and suitability.


See pickle.py in Python 3 as an example: the slow (pure Python) code  
resides in pickle.py; the fast (C code) in _pickle.so (on Windows, a  
built-in module). Near the end of pickle.py, there is a line "from _pickle  
import *" which, if successful, overrides (replaces) any previous  
definitions; if not, the ImportError is trapped and the previously defined  
Python code remains valid.


Unlike the 2.x series, where you should decide to "import cPickle" or  
"import pickle" (or attempt both, cathcing the ImportError), here you only  
have to "import pickle" in your code; if the fast module is present, it is  
automatically loaded and used; else, the slow but compatible version is  
used. You don't even have to know that an alternative implementation  
exists.

A few comments:

* why do you initialize cygwin1.dll in Python? If it's a dependency of

* for this function prototype: void cygwin_dll_init(void);
you should declare it using:

cyg = cdll.LoadLibrary("cygwin1.dll")

cyg.cygwin_dll_init() #hangs or returns here

My problem was that I didn't understand the scoping rules. It is still
strange to me that the getValues variable is still in scope outside
the if/else branches.


Those if/else are at global scope. An 'if' statement does not introduce a

Using mode "rU" may be more convenient, because it still translates \r

PYTHONPATH is an environment variable, you set it the same way as any

But - why do you think you need to set PYTHONPATH? Don't do that. Use the  
standard places to put your library modules and packages, like  
site-packages (where third-party libraries are installed by default). From  
Python 2.6+ the search path includes per-user directories like  
~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages and  
%APPDATA%\Python\Python26\site-packages (see PEP370 [1] for details) so

For example:

If I assign a value on the command line (e.g. -m pal), opts.vmode is a

whether to get opts.vmode or opts.vmode[0] later in the script. I could
loop through all the options and convert each option to a string, but
that's not really something I want to do, especially if I start adding
more options.


That's because of nargs=1. From the argparse documentation: [1]

default, in which the item is produced by itself.


So, just remove nargs=1 from add_argument()

It's hard to guess, but if you get an access violation just from those two  
lines of code, I'd say the problem is inside SIM_init() itself.


It may be attempting to dereference a NULL pointer: accessing a field  
inside a struct, or calling a virtual function from a NULL object...


Also, make sure CDLL is the right choice; it implies a prototype like this:

int cdecl SIM_INIT(void);

When I run this, I could see 10 thread being called. But when I print the
active thread count it is only 2.

Need some understanding on the following.

1. How the total active thread is 2?


Because most of them have already finished by then. Your run() method  
executes quite fast. Make it take more time (maybe by adding  
time.sleep(1)) and you'll see 10 active threads.


2. how do I stop a thread? does it get automatically stopped after  
execution

?


You don't; a trhread runs until the run() method exits. After that, the OS  
thread finishes. The Python object (a threading.Thread instance) is still  
alive (until the last reference to it disappears, as any other object).



3. Am I totally wrong in understanding the concepts.


I don't know...


4. what is the difference between active_count() and activeCount() since
both seem to give the same result.


Nothing. active_count is the preferred Python spelling per PEP8;  
activeCount is the original Java spelling.



5. is there a way to find out if the thread is still active or dead?



Yes, use is_alive()

There are two sides when you want to use automation with Python:

* learn how to do automation by itself, how COM works, how to invoke a COM  
server from Python. This is mostly application-independent. A good  
resource is "Python Programming in Win32" book by Mark Hammond. Chapter 5  
"Introduction to COM" is exactly what you need, and is available for  
preview in Google Books:  
http://books.google.com.ar/books?id=fzUCGtyg0MMC&lpg=PA65&pg=PA65#v=onepage&f=false


* learn how to use the actual objects exposed by the desired application.  
Usually, documentation is available for VBA or other languages, but can be  
easily translated into Python terms.


So I'd say you first read the book, then search the documentation about  
CATSafeArrayVariant and see how to create it, and then translate that into  
Python. Feel free to post any problem you encounter, a better place would  
be the python-win32 list:

The recursive call inside your function should call the undecorated  
function, not the decorated function again. Decorator syntax is not  
convenient anymore.


Using the same names as in the recipe example:


# a recursive function
def my_slow_function(n):

  return my_slow_function(n-1)


my_profiled_slow_function = hotshotit(my_slow_function)
my_profiled_slow_function(n)


This works, in the sense that it does not raise ProfileError anymore.  
Interpreting profile data is up to you...

Pickle to source code

2005-10-26 Thread Gabriel Genellina
Hello

I want to convert from pickle format to python source code. That is,
given an existing pickle, I want to produce a textual representation
which, when evaluated, yields the original object (as if I had
unpickled the pickle).
I know of some transformations pickle/xml (Zope comes with one such
tool, gnosis xml is another) so I believe I could build something based
on them.
But I dont want to reinvent the wheel, I wonder if anyone knows of a
library which could do what I want?

Unfortunately I need a more general approach...

Yes, but I need it for many different objects, some of them written by
other people. Please see my next post for clarification.

An example to make things clear:

class MyClass:
def __init__(self,a,b):
self.a=a
self.b=b
def foo(self):
self.done=1
# construct an instance and work with it
obj = MyClass(1,2)
obj.foo()
# save into file
pickle.dump(obj,file('test.dat','wb'))

Then, later, another day, using another process, I read the file and
want to print a block of python code equivalent to the pickle saved in
the file.
That is, I want to *generate* a block of code like this:

xxx = new.instance(MyClass)
xxx.a = 1
xxx.b = 2
xxx.done = 1

Or perhaps:

xxx = new.instance(MyClass, {'a':1,'b':2,'done':1})

In other words, I need a *string* which, being sent to eval(), would
return the original object state saved in the pickle.
As has been pointed, repr() would do that for simple types. But I need
a more general solution.

The real case is a bit more complicated because there may be references
to other objects, involving the persistent_id mechanism of pickles, but
I think it should not be too difficult. In this example, if xxx.z
points to another external instance for which persistent_id returns
'1234', would suffice to output another line like:
xxx.z = external_reference('1234')

I hope its more clear now.

Oh, thanks. I have some problems installing the package but I hope it
will be useful. If any changes are needed I'll report them.

Er... Touché :)

- What year did World War II finish?
- Same year the Potsdam Conference was held.
- When was that?
- The year World War II finished.

I should have stated that I need an *explicit* string...

different binding behavior

2005-11-10 Thread Gabriel Zachmann
It seems to me that the following behavior of python (2.4.1) is inconsistent:

 >>> a=1
 >>> b=a
 >>> a+=1
 >>> b
1
 >>> a
2
 >>> a=[1,2]
 >>> b=a
 >>> b+=[3]
 >>> a
[1, 2, 3]
 >>> b
[1, 2, 3]

Why was it implemented like this??

Best regards,
Gabriel.

combine doxygen and doc-strings?

2005-11-18 Thread Gabriel Zachmann
Is there a way to combine doxygen comments, like this one


## Documentation for a function.
#  @var a - variable
#  More details.

def func( a ):
 pass


with the doc strings, like this one


def func( a ):
 """ Documentation for a function.
 More details.
 """
 pass


?
Obviously, one would like to write the documentaion only once.

Best regards,
Gabriel.

But if all this has already been debated (and, apparently, my point didn't 
succeed), there is no need to discuss all this over again.

In any case, thanks a lot for your response and summary.

Best regards,
Gabriel.

ownership problem?

Is it correct to say that the typical ownership problem, which frequently 
arises in C++, does not occur normally in Python?

that's about what i meant.
i think, in c++, the "ownership problem" means the problem to determine who 
and when is to delete an object, or to keep track thereof.
The object could be something as simple as a list element.

Best regards,
Gabriel.
