SciPy for Python 2.6?

2012-09-13 Thread garyr
Is there a version for SciPy/numpy available for Python 2.6? I could only 
find a version for 2.7 on the SciPy site. A search on the Scipy mailing list 
archive did not turn up anything. The link to the Scipy-user list signup 
appeared to be broken.

tkFileDialog Question

2011-03-16 Thread garyr
tkFileDialog.askdirectory() allows the selection of a directory. In my code
it displays a line of text at the top of the frame ("Please choose a
directory, then select OK"). A little below that the current path
("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Python\...") is displayed as
a string and immediately below that in a small frame the basename of the
path is displayed. In my case the string showing the path is too long and is
displayed on two lines, the bottom part of which is obscured by the frame
displaying the basename. The title text referred to above can be changed by
means of the title option in the function call but there doesn't appear to
be an option for the path. Is there some other way the display of the path
or the frame displaying the basename could be eliminated or moved slightly?

Jerry,

There was an error during the install but only required a minor change to an
__init__.py file to correct.

Works great. Just what I was looking for. Many thanks!

Here is some code that may do what you want:

from parallel import *
class P:
def __init__(self, port):
self.dataReg = 0
self.p = Parallel(port)

def setData(self, value):
self.dataReg = value
self.p.setData(value)

def setDataBit(self, bit, value):
assert 0 <= bit <= 7
assert 0 <= value <= 1
mask = 1 << bit
self.dataReg = (self.dataReg & ~mask)
if value:
self.dataReg += mask
self.p.setData(self.dataReg)

if __name__ == '__main__':
import msvcrt, time
bit = 1
pyp = P(LPT1)
pyp.setData(0xff)   # set all bits high
print 'all bits high'
while not msvcrt.kbhit():
time.sleep(0.1)
ch = msvcrt.getch()
while 1:
pyp.setDataBit(bit, 0)  # set bit  low
print 'bit %d low' % (bit, )
while not msvcrt.kbhit():
time.sleep(0.1)
ch = msvcrt.getch()
if ord(ch) == 27:   # esc

pyp.setDataBit(bit, 1)  # now high

py2exe, pyparallel

I'm using py2exe to create a standalone program that uses pyparallel.
When I run the created program an error occurs and a message directs me
to
the log file which contains:

My setup.py is:

Line 59 in parallelwin32.py is:  _pyparallel = ctypes.windll.simpleio.

I'm using PythonWin 2.3.2 on Win98SE. I have ctypes 0.9.6, py2exe 0.6.3
and pyparallel 0.2 installed.

I posted a similar message to the py2exe mailing list but apparently
that list is inactive. Any suggestions appreciated.

cl.exe missing

2015-05-25 Thread garyr
I posted this on the Anaconda NG but haven't gotten an answer.

I recently installed Python 2.7 using Miniconda. I'm now trying to build a
Python extension module. My setup.py file is:

from distutils.core import setup, Extension
module1 = Extension('pyssound',
sources=['ssound.cpp', 'pyssound.cpp'])
setup(name="pyssound",
 version=1.0,
 ext_modules = [module1])

Initially I got the vcvarsall.bat missing error and I found the fix for
that:
set MSSDK=1
set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1

Now when I run setup I get:

python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'pyssound' extension
cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG "-IC:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\M
iniconda\include" "-IC:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Miniconda\PC"
/Tpssound.cpp
 /Fobuild\temp.win32-2.7\Release\ssound.obj
error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory

cl.exe is the Visual Studio VS2008 compiler which is the one used to compile
Python 2.7. A search for VS2008 turns up this site:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10986 which mentions
vs2010, 2012 and 2013 but not 2008.

Where do I find VS2008?

Building an extension module with SWIG

2015-05-30 Thread garyr
I'm trying to create an extension module using SWIG. I've
succeeded in generating a pyd file but when I import the module I get the
error message: "SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly." I
added an initfoo() function but that didn't solve the problem. Below are the
various files, a slightly modified version of a SWIG exmaple.
I'm using Python 2.7

What am I missing?

//foo.c:
#include "foo.h"
double Foo;
void initfoo()
{
Foo = 3.0;
}
int gcd(int x, int y) {
  int g;
  g = y;
  while (x > 0) {
g = x;
x = y % x;
y = g;
  }
  return g;
}

#foo.h:
extern void initfoo();
extern double Foo;
extern int gcd(int x, int y);

#foo.i:
%module example
%inline %{
extern intgcd(int x, int y);
extern double Foo;
%}

#setup.py
from setuptools import setup, Extension
setup(name='foo',
version='0.1',
ext_modules=[Extension('foo', ['foo.c', 'foo.i'],
include_dirs=['.'],
depends=['foo.h', 'foo.i'],
swig_opts=['-modern', '-I../include'],

Thanks for your reply. I'm using the compiler that came with Anaconda Python
2.7. I too used SWIG a bunch of years ago but it has changed a lot since
then; e.g., it is now included in the Python distribution.

It's working! The first character of the name of the extension must be an 
underscore; e.g.,

>ext_modules=[Extension('_foo', ['foo.c', 'foo.i'],
and the initfoo() function is not needed.

Extension build link error

2015-08-12 Thread garyr
I'm trying to build an extension module and was having problems so I decided
to try something simpler. Article 16.5, "Coding the Methods of a Python
Class in C" in the first edition of the Python Cookbook looked about right.
I generated the code and a setup.py file (shown below). When I run

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

I get the following errors:

LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol init_Foo
build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_Foo.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved
externals

If I change the name of the initialization function from Foo_init (as in the
book) to init_Foo the build succeeds but import _Foo fails:

import _Foo
SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly

This is the problem I was having with the extension module I was trying to 
write.
What can I do to correct this?

I'm using Python 2.7 on Win XP.

distutils error ?

2015-08-16 Thread garyr
I tried building the spammodule.c example described in the documentation
section "Extending Python with C or C++." As shown the code compiles OK but
generates a link error:

LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol init_spam

I tried changing the name of the initialization function spam_system to
init_spam and removed the static declaration. This compiled and linked
without errors but generated a system error when _spam was imported.

The same error occurs with Python 2.6 and the current compiler.

Another, perhaps not so cool, way of doing this is to just invoke the
mouse handler functions directly. e.g.:

class Event:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y

class Whatever:
   .
   .
def mouseClick(self, event):
self.mouseDown(event)# link to ButtonPress handler
self.mouseUp(event)  # link to ButtonRelease handler

   ...
   event.x, event.y = 123, 456
   self.mouseClick(event)
