Re: [Tutor] Pyexe
Hi Ryan, It took me about a year to cotton onto it as well. So, I wrote a script for my friend, and wanted to send it as an exe. The script I wrote was called disco_spider.py. I assume you've installed py2exe? What I then had to do was create another Python script called setup.py in the same directory as disco_spider.py, this is what setup.py looks like: from distutils.core import setup import py2exe setup( # The first three parameters are not required, if at least a # 'version' is given, then a versioninfo resource is built from # them and added to the executables. version = "0.5.0", description = "Custom built copier of things.", name = "Disco Spider", # targets to build console = ["disco_spider.py"] ) After that, I open up a DOS prompt, and go to the directory disco_spider.py and setup.py are in and I type: python setup.py py2exe at the command prompt. This runs py2exe, which, if everything goes well, creates a subfolder called dist. Everything in dist is what you need to distribute your script.

[Tutor] Editing Pickled .dat files
Hello, this is like my 3rd question today lol which is
making up for not asking any for months =P, anyways
I have a pickled .dat file named dictionary, maybe
youv guessed this but its a dictionary of the
Alphabet, the program is a translator right now all it
does is translate the Alpabet (its a stupid made up
language helping someone out cuz i needed a project)
anyways im pretty sure i have the reading the pickled
file, taking input from the user, looking on the word
in the .dat file and printing out the translation,
Here is where im stuck.
I want the program to be able to translate full words
to (the only way i know to do that is to put every
word in the dictionary, aka .dat file)
im not goin to put all the english words and there
translation in there myself! so i have a option for
the user to put there own definitions,
What i need to know is how do i take input from the
user, collect the word and its definitions and then
pickle it into the .dat but editing the dictionary in
the .dat file.
heres my code for reading so you get a better idea of
what i mean
pickle_file = open("dictionary.dat", "r")
dictionary = cPickle.load(pickle_file)
while sentence != "0":
sentence = raw_input("\nInput a english
letter/word to be translated: ")
if sentence in dictionary:
definition = dictionary[sentence]
print "\n", definition

Classes with single attributes are almost never the right thing. The question is what does the class *do*? What are its responsibilities within the application? You've already suggested that it could shuffle itself. Maybe it could deal a random card too? Maybe it could tell you something about how many cards are left? Or whether a particular card is in the pack? In that case creating a class makers sense. Classes without behaviour are rarely useful. Data without fiunction is rare. Data and function is a class. So if its only a bit of data themn sure make it a module level variable. But ifd you are writing functions that operate on that data consider makng it a class. Particul;arly if there could ever arise the need for more than one pack - a game of Spider or Cribbage for example?

Re: [Tutor] Editing Pickled .dat files
Hi Ryan,
Technically, you don't.
You haul your dictionary out, as you're doing here -
dictionary = cPickle.load(pickle_file)
And when you're finished, you pickle it again.

To make a script executable you just need to make it readable and then double click on it./ Windows will find the python interpreter and execute the script for you. No need for py2exe. You only need py2exe if you really need to create a standalone exe file that yoiu can distribute without the need for python to be installed. The result will be a largish file incorporating the python interpreter and all your modules in a single file. If you really need that then you will need to tell us what you are doing with py2exe, where it seems to be going wrong and then someone can provide an answer...

Re: [Tutor] Editing Pickled .dat files
Hi Ryan,
You're trying to use your file, dictionary.dat like a dictionary data
structure in Python.
They don't work the same way.
So.
pickle_file = open("dictionary.dat", "r")
dictionary = cPickle.load(pickle_file)
pickle_file.close()
elif choice == "2":
pickle_file = open("dictionary.dat", "a")
sentence = raw_input("Enter the word youd like to add: ")
if sentence not in dictionary:
definition = raw_input("Whats the translated version: ")
dictionary[sentence] = definition
print "\n\t'",sentence,"'", "Has been added to the dictionary."
else:
print "\n\tThat term already exists!"
Once you're done, you just "repickle" the dictionary.
pickle_file = open("dictionary.dat", "w") #Opened in write mode
cPickle.dump(dictionary, pickle_file)
pickle_file.close()

Liam Clarke

Python's generic webservers are good enough for this, and you don't even have to know Python to run them. 2) which example in Core Python confuses you? i'll assume it's Example 19.7. this example is really only necessary if you want to start writing a full-fledged server (similar to the ones already mentioned). if you want to just serve web pages (and even process CGI), here's a webserver for you that you should understand: from CGIHTTPServer import test;test() put this code into a script... say webserver.py and put it into the same directory or folder as your .HTML files. then run "python webserver.py". you should then be able to access your web pages by surfing to http://localhost:8000/myWebPage.html (or whatever it's called). i think that i'll add an example like this to the book too, in case there are others that want to just serve pages and perhaps practice their CGI skills. hope this helps! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2006,2001 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Hi Ryan,
By "doesn't work", what happens? Do you get an error message, or ...?
The more details here the better, since we really are not sure what the
cause of the problem is yet.
> pickle_file = open("dictionary.dat", "r")
^^^
This looks somewhat suspicious. pickle files are meant to be stored in
binary files, so you may need to open the file in binary mode:
pickle_file = open("dictionary.dat", "rb")
Otherwise, bad things may happen, especially on Windows platforms.
Good luck to you!
