I guess the easiest for your team would be to:
* let the script write the result lines into a text file
* let the script open the result in an editor (using module called subprocess)
* put a link to your script on the desk

### just an example
# write to file
target  = open("target.txt",'w')
for line in lines:
target.write(line)
target.close()

# open in editor
import subprocess
subprocess.call(["gedit","target.txt"])
print "*** end ***"

[Tutor] Defining "bit" type

[Vicent]

Hello.

As fas as I know, there is a "bytes" type in Python 3, which is a sequence
of bytes.

Anyway, I am working with Python 2.5.4, and I am interested in defining a
new type called "bit" (if possible), which represents a number that can only
take values 0 or 1 —that's what we would call a "binary variable", in a
Mathematical Programming context.

I want to define that new data type within my code, so that I can use it in
the same way I would use "int", "long" and "float" data types, for instance.

How can I do that? If you can give me some hint or any web reference, I
would appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

I'm not at all tempted (binding). VBG. Page scroll and a steady eye on

surprised such a feature doesn't exist.

Well, it would be similar, but...

This is OK:

 >>> a = True
>>> type(a)

>>> a == 1
True
>>> not a
False
>>> (not a) == 0
True
>>> a*0.5
0.5
>>> a*a
1
>>> type(a)



But this is not nice:

>>> type(a)

>>> a
True
>>> a = 0
>>> type(a)



I mean, being "a" a boolean variable, it works as if it was a number, but
every time I want to update the value of "a", I must put "False" for 0 and
"True" for 1, or it will change into an integer variable.

So, maybe I can adapt the definition of "bool" type, I don't know... Anyway,
I want to manage 0's and 1's, not "Falses" and "Trues".

I don't know if it is possible to define a "bit" class based on the "bool"
type. I mean, I don't know how to do those kind of things...

Well, I can think of something that might be of some help:

In [18]: bit = {True:1, False:0}

In [19]: bit[True]
Out[19]: 1

In [20]: bit[False]
Out[20]: 0

In [21]: bit
Out[21]: {False: 0, True: 1}

In [22]: x = False

In [23]: bit[x]
Out[23]: 0

That might give you something to work with. Anyway, HTH,

Re: [Tutor] Defining "bit" type

[Paul McGuire]

If your actual interest in defining a bit type is to work with an array of
bits, try Ilan Schnell's bitarray module
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bitarray/0.3.4).  It uses a compiled extension,
so it is quite fast and space-efficient.

Ilan gave a presentation on this at the Texas Unconference last fall, and
some of the applications were pretty interesting/novel.  If you download the
tarball from PyPI, there is an included examples directory.

yes but you can use other keys to fold just the current function,

Its a very powerful feature and one of the reasons I use SciTe 
as an alternative editor to vim (vim supports folding too but its

But for rapid movement around files Fold All, a mouse click

That's a good question...

Now, when you add up two booleans valued "True", you get 2:

>>> a = True
>>> b = True
>>> a+b
2

So, maybe I can just build a class that is like a "translator" of True/False
into 1/0, but that also admits 1/0 in assignation statements.

For my purposes, maybe it is not necessary to handle with many unexpected
behaviors...

As I am a beginner, I still don't know how to build that class, but I guess
Wayne gave me the clue, or something to play with.

Wow! that's great. I'll give it a try.

It would be great if   "b.value = 0"   could be just written as "b = 0"
without changing type as a result.

What happens if every time I want to update the value of "b", I use "b=
Bit(0)" , "b=Bit(1)", and so on?? Is like "building" the object each time?
It is less efficient, isn't it?

You are going to kill me, but... Maybe the solution is not to re-define what
already exists —boolean data type, but just using it, as suggested at the
beginning of the thread...

b = bool(1)
b = bool(0)

After all, it's not so bad...

I'll think about it.

It would be great if   "b.value = 0"   could be just written as "b = 0"

Assignment in effect does a del b, then creates a new b based on the
_expression_. There is no way in Python right now to do that. The closest
I can come is to support the syntax b(0) and b(1) to emulate
assignment. That would require that I add to the Bit class:

  def __call__(self, value):
    self.value = value

  
  
What happens if every time I want to update the value of "b", I use "b=
Bit(0)" , "b=Bit(1)", and so on?? Is like "building" the object each

Yes and yes.

You have an incorrect idea about how variables and assignment work in
Python. Type is associated with a value, not a name. You might want to

Presuming that by 'applet' you mean something that runs client-side in
a web browser, your options for doing this with Python are very
limited.
- You can use IronPython within MS Silverlight
- There may be ways to do this with Firefox and IE but they are obscure

I guess because block level movement is ambiguous in any programming

I have a question concerning the use of python to make web 
application.
I don't know if it is possible. I would like to create an applet 
capable of
using the client smardcard (with pyscard/pyCrypto module) reader to 
read and

display the contained data on the page.

I already have a simple python application that does it. My question 
is the

following: Is it possible to port it into an applet?


Let me check my understanding...

This existing application runs on the same computer as the card
reader, right? Presumably it is doing some kind of low level OS
calls to read the hardware? If that's the case you probably couldn't
use an applet even if you could write it since the applet wouldn't
normally be able to access the local PCs hardware - way too
much security risk!

If on the other hand the card reader is on a server then you don't
need an applet you need a web app on the server that calls your
existing application then displays the result as a web page.

Does that help?

Most programmers editors I've used in the past have had some kind of
block commands.vim and emacs both use the end-of-paragraph text mode
commands as end of block commands when in code modes.

Thats why, as I said earlier,  the next-paragraph seems to be the
best scintilla can do.

[Tutor] Traversing XML Tree with ElementTree

[Dinesh B Vadhia]

I want to traverse an xml file and at each node retain the full path from the 
parent to that node ie.  if we have:

 
 this is node b  
 this is node c 
 this is node d  
 
 this is node e  
 

... then require:


 this is node b
 this is node c 

 this is node d
 this is node e

I found this code on the Comp.Lang.Python list but it doesn't retain the full 
path.

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse(xmlfile)

def traverse(node):
for c in node.getchildren():
print c.tag, ':', c.text
traverse(c)

root = tree.getroot()
traverse(root)

Any ideas how to do this?  Thanks
