total newb here

2006-01-08 Thread gerg
I've bought a few books on the topic, but I'm a total newb to 
programming in general.  I've got about 4 years PHP / MySQL experience, 
but none with "actual programming".  To be honest, I don't even really 
know what Python is used for.  I'm thought I would start here and see if 
anyone knew of good places to start for someone as green as I.

And now I'm off to google.

Thanks in advance.

using print() with multiprocessing and pythonw

2013-11-12 Thread Isaac Gerg
I launch my program with pythonw and begin it with the code below so that all 
my print()'s go to the log file specified. 

if sys.executable.find('pythonw') >=0:
# Redirect all console output to file.
sys.stdout = open("pythonw - stdout stderr.log",'w')
sys.stderr = sys.stdout

During the course of my program, I call multiprocessing.Process() and launch a 
function several times.  That function has print()'s inside (which are from 
warnings being printed by python).  This printing causes the multiprocess to 
crash.  How can I fix my code so that the print()'s are supressed. I would hate 
to do a warnings.filterwarnings('ignore') because when I unit test those 
functions, the warnings dont appear.

Thanks in advance,
Isaac

Re: using print() with multiprocessing and pythonw

2013-11-12 Thread Isaac Gerg
Thanks for the reply Bill.  The problem is the text i am getting is from a 
python warning message, not one of my own print() function calls.

Python 3.2 | WIndows 7 -- Multiprocessing and files not closing

2013-10-10 Thread Isaac Gerg
I have a function that looks like the following:

#-
filename = 'c:\testfile.h5'
f = open(filename,'r')
data = f.read()

q = multiprocessing.Queue()
p = multiprocess.Process(target=myFunction,args=(data,q))
p.start()
result = q.get()
p.join()
q.close()

f.close()

os.remove(filename)
#-

When I run this code, I get an error on the last line when I try to remove the 
file.  It tells me that someone has access to the file.  When I remove the 
queue and multiprocessing stuff, the function works fine.

What is going on here?

Thanks in advance,
Isaac

2013-10-10 Thread Isaac Gerg
Sorry, I am just providing pseudo code since I the code i have is quite large.

As I mentioned, the code works fine when I remove the multirpcessing stuff so 
the filename is not the issue (though you are right in your correction).

Someone with the same problem posted a smaller, more complete example here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948119/preventing-file-handle-inheritance-in-multiprocessing-lib

None of the solutions posted work.

I will try what you suggest and see if it works.

Additionally, is there a place on the web to view this conversation and
reply?  Currently, I am only able to access this list through email.

Ned, I am unable to try what you suggest.  The multiprocess.Process call is
within a class but its target is a static method outside of the class thus
no pickling.  I cannot close the file and then reopen after the
multiprocess.Process call because other threads may be reading from the
file during that time.  Is there a way in Python 3.2 to prevent the
multiprocess.Process from inheriting the file descriptors from the parent
process OR, is there a way to ensure that the multiprocess is completely
closed and garbaged collected by the time I want to use os.remove()?

Re: Python 3.2 | WIndows 7 -- Multiprocessing and files not closing

2013-10-10 Thread Isaac Gerg
Hi Piet,

Here is a real code example: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948119/preventing-file-handle-inheritance-in-multiprocessing-lib

As I said before, I had provide pseudocode.

I cannot close the file after reading because it is part of a class and other 
threads may be calling member functions which read from the file.
