[Tutor] A tutorial for Python and QT4
Hi, I am looking for a tutorial teaching how to use QT4 Designer with Python. There are a number of very good tutorials for QT3, but I do not want to drop back from QT4.I have no problem designing the form(s) using QT4 designer; including signals and slots; but..I am not even certain why the form has to be saved as a .ui file rather than a .frm file. I have no idea how to generate the python shells I can use to fill in the code for my defined events and the lack of a really good tutorial or two is certainly placing me under a real handicap. Any pointers, literally, to some tutorials would be most appreciated. I am using Linux (ubuntu -- 8.10) with Eric as my editor.

[Tutor] Running a script from another folder
Suppose I have a python script in /usr1/myID/bin and I want to run it from another folder. If I enter python ~myID/bin/myscript that works. Is there a way to get by with python myscript or even myscript.py I've tried specifying the PYTHONPATH environmental variable but it seems to be used only for importing modules. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Alternatively you could create a shell script that would execute it with python. HTH, Wayne ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Python and Abaqus
It would be simply if you can use Python to explorer your file .odb for yours databases for exemples: displacements and stresses at node etc... I have a lot of exemples by using Python for file .odb, if you want i can send it to you. Sinh. Hello folks, This is something that must have been asked several times. I want to post process data obtained after running a FEM in ABAQUS. The requested results are usually printed to the .dat file or .rpt file. I would like to learn how to extract the information that I need (i.e. displacements and stresses at the nodes) from this file using Python. The fact is that I am kind of new at ABAQUS and have zero knowledge about Python. Therefore, any help with websites, examples, tutorials, etc. would be appreciated. Thank you!

This is the answer, assuming you have the shebang line and executable
flags mentioned above.
Method (assuming you are using bash):
Add this to your .bashrc file in your home directory:
export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/bin
I used ${HOME} instead of ~ to make this more portable. However, if
your system doesn't work that way, use the ~ or the full path.

Re: [Tutor] get a module's own (top_level) dict?

Hello pyhonistas,

I'm looking for a way to get something like {'a':a, b':2}.
Maybe this will get you started:

>>> import testmod
>>> dir(testmod)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'a', 'b']
>>> D=dict([(varname,getattr(testmod,varname))
for varname in dir(testmod)
if not varname.startswith("_") ])
>>> D
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}
>>>

Actually,
names defind in the module will be instances of a custom type. I want to
give them an attribute that holds their own name. E.g.:
for key,obj in dict:
obj.name = key

[Tutor] Documentation on how to run complete R scripts from Python interpreter
Hello, I am very new to Python and I have long R scripts that I would like to run under the Python Interpreter. The reason for this is because I will try to construct a GUI using 'easygui' in Python. I read some of the the documentation regarding the RPy module, but it implies to add a 'r' at the beginning of every R function, plus the dot to underscore conversion in the names of the R functions. Or maybe, what I am intending to do is not possible? I originally built a GUI using Rtcltk, but easygui honors its name, and I need to add some text manipulation also, which is much more intuitive to do in Python than R. This is a diagram of what I would like to do: GUI constructed with "easygui" --> this will retrieve pathfiles and user's preferences (floating numbers and strings) --> The preceeding attributes will feed the R scripts-->R scripts will generate pdf files with plots. All this within the Python Interpreter, although I am suspecting that like the name indicates, this is only a 'Python' interpreter, nothing else... If you could orient me to where I can find documentation on what I would like to do, I would appreciate it very much.

"Judith Flores" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote I am very new to Python and I have long R scripts that I would like to run under the Python Interpreter. I'm sorry I can't help for reasons that will become apparent. But I'd like to thank you for pointing me at R! I've just bought a commercial statistics package(Minitab) which cost me over $150, and it looks as if R could have done all I needed for free - or maybe the cost of a book... some of the the documentation regarding the RPy module, I haven't read anything about RPy so can't help there (yet) but it did lead me to the R web site. GUI constructed with "easygui" --> this will retrieve pathfiles and user's preferences (floating numbers and strings) --> The preceeding attributes will feed the R scripts-->R scripts will generate pdf files with plots. It sounds like you could do this by just creating the scripts in vanilla Python then running the R scripts under R itself from Python usiing os.system or the Subprocess module. Once I've investigated R and RPy a bit more I might be able to help, but that will be a whjile... I hope someone else can shed some light meantime.

R is very powerful. I found it a bit opaque at first. You will probably want a book :-) You might be interested in these notes, which basically tell how to use R to do first-semester college statistics: http://personalpages.tds.net/~kent37/stories/00019.html >> some of the the documentation regarding the RPy module, I have not had any luck with RPy myself though presumably others have more success.

I think that is probably the easiest approach if you can pass the script parameters on the command line. Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] experience/opinions with deploying python GUI app to Linux, Win32, and Mac OS X
Hi gang, I know this is probably like asking whether vi or emacs is better, but I'm looking for the best cross-platform (linux, windows, mac os x) user interface toolkit. Since the users won't be programmers, I'd like it to feel as much like a native app as possible in terms of installation. It should feel like installing any other mac/windows/linux application. I'm writing a very simple app to retrieve data from a device or import it from a file and then upload that data to a website (and possibly keep a local backup of the data using sqlite or similar).The main widget will be what in gtk would is called listview with a checkbox column for selecting which data to upload possibly as a panel within a wizard that would also have panels for selecting the device and logging into the web site. Deploying to the Mac seems to be the most difficult from what I've read. pygtk/glade seems natural for linux and even window, but 've read about difficulties with gtk on the mac, which at one point required installing X11, I believe. There's a "native" (no X11) port, but I'm not sure how mature that is. Here's what I've thought about with some pros/cons: - tkinter -- this is the obvious answer I suppose, but the widget set is limited and not pretty (out of the box at least) - pygtk -- not easy to deploy on mac? Non-native looking widgets - wxpython - complete widget set and native looking, but not sure if it's easy to deploy - jython/SWT -- I have no experience with this, but everybody has a JVM, so deploying should be easy - web app running locally -- no experience with this, but everybody has a web browser and there are frameworks like django I could use - curses -- probably not as pretty as mac/windows users would expect Any success stories out there?

GTK can look like windows, but you mentioned difficulty on macs. Of course I've never had my GTK apps /really/ look native on windows. For the reason you mentioned, I probably wouldn't use curses, unless you're not worried about it looking particularly "pretty". However, with some type of web framework, you can easily make it look the same cross-platform, with minimal maintenance and customizing (mainly only required if you use CSS and any client runs IE). Anyhow, that's just my 2¢ -Wayne ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
