[Tutor] Animating changes with Numpy arrays
Hi people Thanks to people's most excellent help with the Automatic generation of an "all possible combinations" array. I've got a beta version of my program working. However, I was wondering if there is an "easy" way to animate changes between arrays and to show the number of the loop which the program is running i.e a print out which changes at a controlable rate I've looked for ascii art stuff with python but there are no pointers. At the moment, I'm review the changes by walking through a screen print out of all changes making pattern changes hard to spot but as this is just a minor debuging tool, I don't want to spend weeks coding it in!

[Tutor] Beginner Game: Rock, Paper, Scissors
Hello, I'm a beginner to python; I wanted to make a fun little game, so I
started with something simple: Rock, Paper, Scissors.
The program I made satisfies me, but I want to add graphics. I installed
pygame, and have some svg's that I want to render into graphics. I
installed cairo, but then realized that it is only used to draw svg's and
other graphics into files, not render them on the screen. Any ideas how to
start turning this into a graphical game? Feel free to add any other
suggestions as well :D:D:D! Thanks.
Here is the source code:

I still don't know enough to help you much. It would help if you showed
some real code and data. How are you storing the names and percentages?
If you have a list of pairs of (name, percentage) then you should be
able to sort it directly with the sort() method of the list. For example:
In [3]: data = [ ('Kent', 50), ('Sara', 80), ('Fred', 20) ]
In [4]: data.sort()
In [5]: data
Out[5]: [('Fred', 20), ('Kent', 50), ('Sara', 80)]
Use append() to add more data, then sort again to get it in order:
In [6]: data.append(('Joe', 90))
In [7]: data.sort()
In [8]: data
Out[8]: [('Fred', 20), ('Joe', 90), ('Kent', 50), ('Sara', 80)]
What is a bundle? I don't know of any Python meaning for that term.

sure, I wouldn't mind looking at your code :D! Also, the graphical one you sent me was using gif's, do you know how to render svg's on screen? The advantage to vector rather than raster is that you can resize it as big as you could ever desire and it will never lose quality. That means I could make a resolution independent game :D!

That is quite a few times to be searching each line of the file. Try
using a regular expression search instead, like this:
import re
regex = re.compile('|'.join(idList))
for line in f2:
if regex.search(line):
# process a hit
A simple test shows that to be about 25 times faster.
Searching for each of 100 id strings in another string:
In [6]: import timeit
In [9]: setup = "import re; import string; ids=[str(i) for i in
range(1000, 1100)];line=string.letters"
In [10]: timeit.Timer('for i in ids: i in line', setup).timeit()
Out[10]: 15.298269987106323
Build a regular expression to match all the ids and use that to search:
In [11]: setup2=setup + ";regex=re.compile('|'.join(ids))"
In [12]: timeit.Timer('regex.search(line)', setup2).timeit()

I don't think the console should be buffered.

I don't know if it is slower than Perl but it doesn't take a few seconds
on my computer. How long does it take you to get to the interpreter
prompt if you just start Python? You could put a simple print at the
start of your program to see when it starts executing.

You probably have a solution that is good enough. Ask yourself whether it really is going to save any time if you are able to optimize it. But, if speed is important, then you might try a solution that uses a regular expression in place of for id in idList: if id in line: A regular expression of the form "(id1|id2|id2)", which you could construct programmatically, might work for your problem: import re s1 = '|'.join(idList) s2 = '(%s)' % s1 pat = re.compile(s2) Then use something like: for mo in pat.finditer(line): Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Fastest way to iterate through a file
Also since you're writing your found results to a file there's no need to
print the results to the screen. That should shave off some time,
especially if you have a lot of hits.

Since I am printing to a file like so:
[id]: [line]
I don't see how I can get the id back out of the regex.search like I
could in my code.

[Tutor] Importing and creation on the fly
Hi there,
I've been banging my head on this for about two weeks, and I can't
figure out a solution to this. I'm wondering if you could assist me on this
pesky problem.
I'm reading in an xml file that has the name of class, location, and
the filename into a dictionary. I want to import these classes and create
instances of them. The code in question is as follows:
36 for xmlKey in self.dictXML.keys():
37 if not self.dictXML[xmlKey]['location'] in sys.path and \
38 not self.dictXML[xmlKey]['location'] == os.getcwd():
39 sys.path.append(self.dictXML[xmlKey]['location'])
40 try:
41 if os.stat(self.dictXML[xmlKey]['location'] + \
42 self.dictXML[xmlKey]['filename']):
43 eval('import ' + self.dictXML[xmlKey]["class"])
<-- syntax error here
44 actionStmt=self.dictXML[xmlKey]["class"] + '.' +
self.dictXML[xmlKey]["class"] + '()' 45
45 self.objList.append(eval(actionStmt))
46 except:
47 pass
I have also tried: __import__(self.dictXML[xmlKey]["class"]), which gave me
an error when I did the eval(actionStmt). Could anybody shed some light on
this? Thanks in advance.

match = regex.search(line)
if match:
idMatch = match.group()
print idMatch, line
Note this will only find the first id match on a line. If you need to
find multiple matches per line use findall() or finditer() as Dave suggests.

eval() won't work because it evaluates expressions; import is a
statement, not an expression. You might have better luck with exec for
the import.
__import__() doesn't put the imported module into the global namespace
the way an import statement does; it returns a reference to the module
which you assign to a name. So I think you would need something like
module = __import__(self.dictXML[xmlKey]["class"])
obj = getattr(module, self.dictXML[xmlKey]["class"])()

For the task of importing, look at the "imp" module:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-imp.html
Also, the "inspect" module may be of help:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-inspect.html
In particular, look at the the inspect.getmembers() and
inspect.isclass() methods.

For the task of importing, look at the "imp" module:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-imp.html
Also, the "inspect" module may be of help:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-inspect.html
In particular, look at the the inspect.getmembers() and
inspect.isclass() methods.

Thanks guys. I will look into that this afternoon

Re: [Tutor] Beginner Game: Rock, Paper, Scissors
how would I go about rendering an .svg to another file before showing it on screen? Could you point me to some resources or examples? Thanks!

You just mentioned that Cairo renders svgs to a file, didn't you? So can you just use pyCairo? Google would tell you of other python modules that can render svg files. I don't have any resources for doing this, I just assumed since you mentioned Cairo could do it that you knew how to use Cairo to do it. -Luke ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
