How to parse the starting and ending of a loop statements in python

2013-07-30 Thread karthik sridhar

My objective is to find the line numbers of the start and the end of a loop 
statement in python.

Example scenario

#A.py
Line1: a=0  
Line2: while a<5:   
Line3:print a  
Line4:a=a+1 

Desired output:
Start of a loop Line2 
End of a loop   Line4
 
Current parser code
#parser.py
with open(a) as f:
tree = ast.parse(f.read())
taskline=[]
for node in ast.walk(tree):
if isinstance(node, (ast.For)) or isinstance(node,(ast.While)): 
   
print node.lineno-1  <-- This give line number on for the start of a 
loop

I wanted to achieve the above output. I use AST to parse a given file and 
determine the occurrence of loops. With AST parsing i am able to find line 
number for the start of the loop but the line number for ending of the loop is 
yet to be determined. Is there any way i could parse an entire loop statement 
and determine its starting and ending line number ?

Yup.

Moreover, ActivePython includes a tool called `pythonselect` that can
be used to set the "current" version of Python,
https://github.com/ActiveState/pythonselect#readme

For OSX, this basically sets symlinks in /usr/local/bin targeting the
appropriate Framework location.

The included pip and easy_install scripts are versioned, eg: pip-2.7
and pip-3.2.

You need to install this module:

Out of curiosity, which distribution of Python are you using? ActivePython, 
MacPorts, python.org or homebrew?

FWIW, ActivePython automatically does this. As it includes versioned
binaries as well, one can type (just like on Unix) `python2.7.exe` or
`python3.2.exe` in the Command Prompt.

None of the above are standard practices, as far as I know.

No PEP, but - yes - there is a conventional, if not standard, way to do this. 
It's called "entry points" (part of setuptools or Distribute).

Documentation: 
http://packages.python.org/distribute/setuptools.html#automatic-script-creation

Example: https://github.com/ActiveState/pythonselect/blob/master/setup.py#L49

Users of your package will need to have Distribute installed, which is 
available in ActivePython (all platforms), OSX and almost all of the Linux 
distributions.

What about JSON? You can serialize your dictionary, for example, in
JSON format and then unserialize it in any language that has a JSON
parser (unless it is Javascript).

A question regd configobj

2009-05-21 Thread Srijayanth Sridhar

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to have hexadecimal strings in a ini file
and have configobj parse it correctly.

for eg:
moonw...@trantor:~/python/config$ cat foo
foo="\x96\x97"
.
.
.
>>> a=ConfigObj("foo")
>>> a
ConfigObj({'foo': '\\x96\\x97'})
>>> a['foo']
'\\x96\\x97'

As you can see the string has escaped the '\' and I want to suppress that
behavior. I've looked at the documentation and haven't been able to figure
out if this is an available feature or not.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I would like from my Python application to control 2 (or more devices) using
the existing port's interface in my PC,like serial (COM1) or Parallel port
(lpt) or any other like PCI...etc.
The control mechanism usually involves sending messages to the connected
devices in parallel.
For instance, I would like to send a command to a target connected on COM
port and at the same time would like to read the value of a Digital
multimeter over other COM port ( or may be via USB with some adapter)

My Question is:
- Is it possible to achieve the above in Python ?
- Do we need to use any kind of Parallel processing to achieve this ?
- If so, Which of the available packages (like pypar or Pydusa..etc) suits
best ?

Please suggest.

It's a matter of replacing C:\Python25 with C:\Python26 in your PATH
environment variable, which is what the Windows command processor uses
to fined executable programs.

Thanks Steve,
that works exactly as you say.


Additionally if you're using ActivePython, you do not even have to 
fiddle with PATH because:


1) C:\PythonXY (and %APPDATA%\Python\Scripts) is automatically added to 
%PATH%.


2) "python.exe" is also available as "python26.exe", so you can simply 
type "python26" in the console to get Python 2.6 (if another version of 
ActivePython/Python is already installed).

Even though your laptop runs a 64-bit operating system, you do not have

(Some Python packages may not even build on 64-bit Python)


You can install Python from one of the two places:

On my Windows machine, I make a copy python.exe and rename it as
python25.exe, python26.exe, python3.exe, etc in their respective
directories. Then after setting up the PATH environment variable, you
can simply call python25, python3, etc from any directory in the command
prompt.

Lie, ActivePython does both of this during the installation -- 
pythonXY.exe and set PATH accordingly.

Luis, Distribute (a setuptools fork) has a feature called "entry points" 
that will create exe wrappers for the specified Python script. These exe 
wrappers use the #! line to determine the actual Python interpreter to 
invoke.

http://packages.python.org/distribute/setuptools.html#automatic-script-creation

If your script is foo-script.py, foo.exe will ultimately read the first 
line in foo-script.py which is #!C:\Python26\python.exe .. and that is 
used to run the script. Task manager will show "foo.exe" instead of 
"python.exe".

This is probably due to 
http://firefly.activestate.com/shanec/activepython/ticket/11 where the MSI 
product code for 64-bit installer was changed to be different from the 32-bit 
one. Specifically the product codes used are:

<=2.5.4.4: "a2e24bd9-085b-410f-aad0-5eb5fa5d73d2" 

>=2.5.4.6 32-bit: "a2e24bd9-085b-410f-aad0-5eb5fa5d73d2", 
>=2.5.4.5 64-bit: "64e24bd9-085b-410f-aad0-5eb5fa5d73d2", 

Consequently 64-bit installers for 2.X will have different MSI product code 
from 2.5.4.6 onwards. 

Was your "update" issue happening only with the 64-bit installer of 2.5.5.7?

ANN: ActivePython 2.6.5.12 and 3.1.2.3 are now available

2010-03-25 Thread Sridhar Ratnakumar

We are pleased to announce the availability of both ActivePython 2.6.5.12 and 
ActivePython 3.1.2.3. 

http://www.activestate.com/activepython/

Here is what you should know about these two releases:

PyWin32: PyWin32 is now included in the 64-bit & Python3 builds! Since we 
recently updated our PyWin32 source tree, this release comes with several bug 
fixes.

PyPM: There is now an “upgrade” feature in PyPM, our beloved Python Package 
Manager distributed with ActivePython free of charge. What this means is that 
if you type “pypm upgrade” it will update all your installed Python Packages to 
the latest version to save you time and keep you up-to-date.

Switch between Python versions: Also new in this 2.6 release is a new tool 
called "pythonselect" that can be used to switch between multiple ActivePython 
versions. This is currently only supported on MacOSX although support for other 
platforms and, perhaps, other Python installations, is in the roadmap (patches 
are welcome too!).

Dive Into Python 3: ActivePython 3.1.2.3 now includes Mark Pilgrim’s Dive Into 
Python 3, the popular advanced tutorial for learning Python3. You can find it  
in the documentation section.

Miscellaneous: We also updated the base Tcl/Tk version to 8.5.8; added OpenSSL 
and ctypes support in the 64-bit build; upgraded to openssl-0.9.8l; included 
Tcl/Tk development headers – among several other bug fixes with IDLE and 
Tkinter installation. And of course, they use the latest Python version: 2.6.5 
and 3.1.2.

See the release notes for full details:

You could try using the Windows installer (uTidylib-0.2.1.win32.exe) from:
 http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1810

And perhaps also let Cory Dodt know that his 6-year old package entry has 
broken download link in it
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/uTidylib/

There is not even a source release for 0.2.1.  I'd be more than happy to make 
this available in PyPM  once I can 
find at least the source release of 0.2.1

You can find the versions used in ActivePython here,
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.7/whatsincluded.html

We generally build with the latest compatible version of extensions (except for 
Tcl/Tk on 2.5/2.6/3.1 as python.org still uses 8.4) ... but that should not be 
an issue with 2.7 as I believe that the python.org MSI installer is now using 
Tcl/Tk 8.5 (albeit with an older patch-level version?) to support the new `ttk` 
module in 2.7+.

Does that answer your query?

ActivePython (APy) 2.5+/3.1+ already use Tcl/Tk 8.5 ... I was referring to the 
PSF installers (hence the mismatch in versions between APy and PSF). Maybe that 
was changed in 3.1.3.

I did this for ActivePython 2.7,

>>> import Tkinter
>>> root = Tkinter.Tk()
>>> root.tk.eval('info patchlevel')
'8.5.9'

Nothing I can think of except module updates and bug fixes[1],
http://wiki.tcl.tk/405

I don't know how dependencies are managed when building PSF installers. From my 
experience, updating to newer tcl/tk patchlevel releases never broke the 
ActivePython build.

ANN: ActivePython 3.2.0.0 is now available

2011-02-22 Thread Sridhar Ratnakumar

ActiveState is pleased to announce ActivePython 3.2.0.0, a complete, 
ready-to-install binary distribution of Python 3.2.


  http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads

What's New in ActivePython-3.2.0.0
==

New Features & Upgrades
---

- First ActivePython release based on Python 3.2 core
- PyPM (beta) for Python 3.2
- Distribute (setuptools)
- [Windows] Upgrade to PyWin32 CVS snapshot as of 2011-01-16
- [MacOSX] ``readline`` support via Apple's ``libedit`` library
- OpenSSL 1.0.0d
- [Windows] Fix a ``tarfile`` performance issue (`issue11224 
<http://bugs.python.org/issue11224>`_)



What's new in Python 3.2


* Stable ABI: Extension modules built for 3.2 can continue to work with 
3.3, 3.4 and so on.


* argparse: argparse, an improved alternative to optparse included in 
Python 2.7, is now available in 3.2 as well.


* concurrent.futures: Inspired by java.util.concurrent.package, this 
module abstracts threads/processes/RPC-calls by way of abstract 
executors with support for status checks, timeouts, cancellations, 
callbacks, access to results or exceptions. futures makes it easier to 
switch from one concurrent implementation to another, eg: from thread to 
process pool.


* PYC repository directories: Ever faced with ".pyc conflicts" between 
multiple Python versions? Python 3.2 introduced a new bytecode caching 
mechanism: foo.pyc gets a new name: __pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyc 
(similarly for .so files) ... thus properly fixing such conflicts, even 
across different Python interpreter implementations.


* WSGI for Python 3: The WSGI spec is now adapted for Python3's 
bytes/text distinction. See PEP  for details.

The .MSI installer does require installation, but there is also a .ZIP package 
which doesn't. It is not visible in the downloads page, but you can always get 
it here:

http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePython/releases/2.6.5.12/
(substitute with latest version)

When I just tried the "ActivePython-2.6.5.12-win64-x64.zip" on my Win7 x64 
machine - by extracting and running python.exe (from INSTALLDIR/) without 
installing - it just worked.

How to disable readline when building Python?

2010-07-03 Thread Sridhar Ratnakumar

For licensing reasons, I need to disable readline, except editline on 
OSX, when building Python. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how 
this can be done ("./configure --help" does not show anything relevant); 
I've tried the following, and readline.so will still be built:


- ./configure --without-readline
- ./configure --disable-readline
- Set `do_readline = False` in setup.py

This is for Python 2.6; and I am yet to port the same to 2.7.

python27.exe vs python2.7.exe ...

2010-09-14 Thread Sridhar Ratnakumar

Hi,

As you may already know, ActivePython provides versioned Python executables 
that makes it possible to invoke a particular X.Y version from the command line 
directly if you have multiple Python versions on PATH. Eg:

   C:\Python27\python26.exe
   C:\Python27\python27.exe
   C:\Python31\python31.exe

In the upcoming releases, we are considering to change this format to match the 
unix executables (with a 'dot' in it). Eg:

   C:\Python27\python2.6.exe
   C:\Python27\python2.7.exe
   C:\Python31\python3.1.exe

The idea is to be able to invoke "python2.7 myscript.py" on both Unix and 
Windows.

Thoughts?

Because there is bin/python3 on unix (to separate it from the default 2.x 
interpreter) - it is perhaps a good idea to have "C:\Python31\python3.exe" as 
well.

You may have to change the imports. Maybe from "import bsddb" to "import 
bsddb3". The API may be different. Read the bsddb3 documentation.

John,

If it is ActivePython, the first line of the interactive shell (in credits 
section) should print something like:

  ActivePython 2.7.0.2 (ActiveState Software Inc.) 

Also what is the output of "python -m activestate"?

Perusing http://svn.python.org/view/python/branches/release27-maint/?view=log - 
the difference in svn versions (there is no difference in patch number) seems 
insignificant. Both revisions are past the 2.7 final release. Perhaps, the 
python.org installer was created using a later revision.

Re: Starting Python in XP Pro

Hi Grant,

Typing the following opens IDLE (albeit after a short delay; the command will 
immediately return regardless) for me:

  C:\> C:\Python26\lib\idlelib\idle.bat

IDLE is also installed in the Start Menu for ActivePython.

You need at least ActivePython 2.6.6.15 or 2.7.0.2 for this to work.

What is ActivePython?
=

ActivePython is ActiveState's binary distribution of Python. Builds for 
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux are made freely available. Solaris, HP-UX and 
AIX builds, and access to older versions are available in ActivePython 
Business, Enterprise and OEM editions:


http://www.activestate.com/python

ActivePython includes the Python core and the many core extensions: zlib 
and bzip2 for data compression, the Berkeley DB (bsddb) and SQLite 
(sqlite3) database libraries, OpenSSL bindings for HTTPS support, the 
Tix GUI widgets for Tkinter, ElementTree for XML processing, ctypes (on 
supported platforms) for low-level library access, and others. The 
Windows distribution ships with PyWin32 -- a suite of Windows tools 
developed by Mark Hammond, including bindings to the Win32 API and 
Windows COM.


ActivePython 2.6, 2.7 and 3.1 also include a binary package manager for 
Python (PyPM) that can be used to install packages much easily. For example:


  C:\>pypm install mysql-python
  [...]

  C:\>python
  >>> import MySQLdb
  >>>

See this page for full details:

http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.1/whatsincluded.html

As well, ActivePython ships with a wealth of documentation for both new 
and experienced Python programmers. In addition to the core Python docs, 
ActivePython includes the "What's New in Python" series, "Dive into 
Python", the Python FAQs & HOWTOs, and the Python Enhancement Proposals 
(PEPs).

Only if that "previous version" is a patch-level release. For example, 
ActivePython 3.1.2.4 will uninstall the following:

  3.1.2.3
  3.1.1.2

but not the following (which can, of course, co-exist):

  3.0.x.y
  2.7.x.y
  2.6.x.y
 ...

Question regarding python migration

2010-10-13 Thread Pramod Thirthachar Sridhar

Hi,



We have a Python based test framework which is being used in various projects.



Our current environment is

Python (ver 2.5.1)

wxPython (wxPython2.8-win32-ansi-2.8.6.0-py25)

pywin32-210.win32-py2.5

vcredist_x86.exe

pyserial-2.2



Our Framework is being currently used in Windows XP.



The issue is:

Soon our environment will be migrated from Windows XP to Windows 7.

In this regard, I would be in need of suggestions/ideas/information regarding 
migration of our existing framework into windows 7 environment.



Do i need to migrate our framework from Python 2.5 to either Python 2.6 or 
directly to Python 3.0 ? What happens to all supporting packages..etc



Which is the best way ?



We tried out of some option of using our framework under virtual xp context of 
windows 7.Thou it works for timebeing,i am not interested to having the same as 
kind of way of working for future.



Please help
