Re: [Tutor] IDLE
"WM." wrote Allen G.asked me how I made IDLE work. I did nothing on purpose. One can open Python into the IDLE window or into the program window. I assume you mean the editor window? Yes that will produce proper indentation, it is only the shell window that is broken because the >>> prompt produces an offset in the first line. changed from the program window to the IDLE window. IDLE now works exactly right. Except you don't evaluate the expressions as you type them which is what tbe shell window does... You need to run the program. As a bonus my DOS-idle window which used to produce error messages now works like a Trojan, also. I don't know what you mean by the dos-idle window?

Title: Signature.html Using WinMerge, I found a difference between the two that shouldn't have been, but it didn't solve the problem. dialog.rateVar.get() versus dialog.rateVar.get There was another like it with get(), but it wouldn't have been executed in my test run.

[Tutor] How to foreach over a dynamic number of levels
I'm probably trying to go about this the wrong way - so I'm asking more for what direction to head in, at least. The group I'm working with has a python program (the Model Framework) that runs data through a number of models. For each possible step, there are multiple possible models. Each run also is for a single date. So the ini for Model Framework might be something like this: step1 = step1model-a step2 = step2model-a step3 = step3model-b step4 = step4model-a (so for any given step, one or more models exist. For a Model Framework run, you choose one model for any given step you choose to run) The program I'm working on will drive the framework and run it multiple times. For example, to run a range of dates; but also, to run a range of models - so you might want to run models a-h on days Jan1-Jan30 - that would be 8 times 30 = 240 runs. The program I'm working on needs to be Framework-agnostic. That is, I know that the framework's ini file consists of a number of key and value pairs, but my program has no concept of what these values *do*, or which ones *exist*. The end-user will basically take a Framework ini file, and change some values from strings to lists, for example: step1=["step1model-a","step1model-b","step1model-c"] My program will parse that, and know that it must iterate three times because of that line alone. So I do not know in advance how many keys I will have, nor how many of them will be arrays vs. strings, although my initial thought is that I can treat strings like single-member arrays - I don't care if I foreach a single time - execution time on that order of magnitude is irrelevant. I'm really not sure how in the world to accomplish this. The best method I can think of would involve somehow iterating through and generating code to exec, but frankly I don't even have that as a complete working solution. The other thought would be a function that called itself, but that is also very very ugly. I come from PHP, where you have variable variables. I think that would help me a lot here - I could at least dynamically nest my arrays, and call my arrays using variable vars. I'm definitely a pretty new programmer. I don't mind reading - but I've spent about 6 hours today googling for terms like "dynamic nesting" and found a lot of interesting stuff - but no clear direction to head in. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Program to report if file was modified today
Hi Everyone and thanks for the list and your help.
In my adventure in learning Python (never programed before) I am
attempting to findout if a file has been modified today given a search
path. It is working somewhat. Here it is;
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import os
import time
def Mod():
"""Find files modified today, given a file path."""
latest = 0
dir = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[1])
for fname in os.listdir(dir):
if fname.endswith('.py'):
modtime = os.stat(os.path.join(dir, fname)).st_mtime
if modtime > latest:
latest = modtime
out = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', time.localtime(latest))
my_list = [fname, out]
print fname
now = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', time.localtime())
if my_list[-1] == now:
print "This file has changed today."
print "*"*30
else:
print "This file did not change"
results;
./py_lastmod_date.py /home/david/
py_pyparse_end.py
This file did not change
**
cologne_time.py
This file did not change
**
py_find_word_prefix.py
This file did not change
**
py_round_by_five.py
This file did not change
**
graphics.py
This file did not change
**
py_countdown_generator.py
This file did not change
**
py_compare_time.py
This file has changed today.
**
py_lastmod_date.py
This file has changed today.
**
OK here are my questions.
Is there an easier way of doing this?
Why does it only return 8 results, I have a ton of .py files in /home/david
Why do both the if and else get printed?
How do I do this without all the if statments?
I don't understand the if modtime > latest part, is this to loop over
the files and put the oldest last? I found that part in another program
and my program does not work without it.
Thank you,
-david

It's much easier than that. You haven't asked about reading the ini
file or running the model, so I'll leave that for another time.
Let's assume you have the steps read in to variables like this:
step1=["step1model-a","step1model-b","step1model-c"]
step2 = "step2model-a"
step3 = ["step3model-a", "step3model-b"]
Make a list containing all the steps:
steps = [step1, step2, step3]
Now you need to convert all steps to lists. This loop builds a new
list from the original step list, wrapping any bare strings in lists:
step_lists = []
for step in steps:
if isinstance(step, basestring):
step = [step]
step_lists.append(step)
Now what you want is the Cartesian product of all the lists. Python
has a function (new in Python 2.6) in the itertools library module
that will do this:
from itertools import product
for model_set in product(*step_lists):
print model_set
(The * in the argument list means, take the elements of step_list and
use them as the arguments to product())
The output is
('step1model-a', 'step2model-a', 'step3model-a')
('step1model-a', 'step2model-a', 'step3model-b')
('step1model-b', 'step2model-a', 'step3model-a')
('step1model-b', 'step2model-a', 'step3model-b')
('step1model-c', 'step2model-a', 'step3model-a')
('step1model-c', 'step2model-a', 'step3model-b')

1) That can't be the entire program, as there is no call to Mod()!
2) Convention says function names start with lower case. Save initial
caps for class names.
3) Get rid of latest - that is why you are not getting all the files.
4) Use glob.glob() so you can specify *.py
5) It is not necessary to convert times to strings. You can get midnight
today from int(time.localtime())
6) Move calculation of now outside the loop, as it does not change.
7) my_list is not necessary.
8) revised (untested) code:

OK here are my questions.
Is there an easier way of doing this?
Why does it only return 8 results, I have a ton of .py files in
/home/david
Why do both the if and else get printed?
How do I do this without all the if statments?
I don't understand the if modtime > latest part, is this to loop over
the files and put the oldest last? I found that part in another
program and my program does not work without it.
Thank you,

1) That can't be the entire program, as there is no call to Mod()!
Yep, it was lost in my copy paste
2) Convention says function names start with lower case. Save initial
caps for class names.
Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten :)
3) Get rid of latest - that is why you are not getting all the files.
For some reason when I take that out it reports all file have been modified.
4) Use glob.glob() so you can specify *.py
5) It is not necessary to convert times to strings. You can get midnight
today from int(time.localtime())
OK
6) Move calculation of now outside the loop, as it does not change.
Good Point, makes since now.
7) my_list is not necessary.
Ok, my reason was to make sure the file and date remained together but
It works fine without it.
8) revised (untested) code:
I get this error with the int(time.localtime())
start_of_today = int(time.localtime())
TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not
'time.struct_time'
Thanks Bob,
I really only want it to report when a file has been modified so this
seems to work, next I will work on putting glob.glob working plus any
other suggestions.

[Tutor] Keeping Dictonary Entries Ordered
Title: Signature.html
I have a dictionary that looks like:
config_names = {"start_time : '18:00:00', 'gray_scale' : True, "long":
120.00}
If I iterate over it, the entries will appear in any order, as opposed
to what I see above. However, in the config file, I'd like to keep them
in the order above. That I want to write the config file in order.
Perhaps, I need a list like c_names = ["start_time", "gray_scale",
"long"] to get the keys out in the order I need? Maybe there's another
way?

Re: [Tutor] [tutor] IDLE
At one time I could not run a skit in IDLE nor with the command line. IDLE gave error messages because (Alan G. says) of the 3 chevrons. The command opened into a wee square & issued only error messages. Then the command line opened into a 4x7 box and worked perfectly. IDLE also now works perfectly, whether I open into IDLE or edit window. Below is a copy/paste: IDLE 2.6 >>> i = 9 >>> while i > 2: print i i -= 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 >>> just so, with no adjustments ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] Python & MySQL... Define port.
Hello, You can specify the port of the instance you want to connect to simply by passing "port=NUM" in MySQLdb.connect(). Here is a formulation I have found generally useful: import MySQLdb def run_mysql(query, db, user, passwd, port=3306, socket="/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock", host="localhost"): """Runs query passed with connection info passed, returns results.""" try: db = MySQLdb.connect(user=user, passwd=passwd, db=db, port=port, unix_socket=socket, host=host) except MySQLdb.Error, e: raise e cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute(query) data = cursor.fetchall() db.close() return data This sets common defaults, but you can of course pass in whatever you want when you call it. You might also want to check out the MySQLdb docs: http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html. It contains a number of examples. ___ Samuel Huckins Homepage - http://samuelhuckins.com Tech blog - http://dancingpenguinsoflight.com/ Photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/samuelhuckins/ AIM - samushack | Gtalk - samushack | Skype - shuckins From: Network Administrator To: tutor@python.org Sent: Monday, February 9, 2009 1:29:21 PM Subject: [Tutor] Python & MySQL... Define port. Hello everybody! I want to use Python to query a given MySQL database. However, this database is running on port 3308, instead the traditional 3306. I read that (example): MySQLdb.connect(host="dbserv', db='inv', user='smith') can be used to query a given database; however, it didn't work in my particular case. This is my code: connection = MySQLdb.connect (db = "netlogin", user="netadmin", pass = "r4nas", port="3308") I appreciate if you give me assistance in the proper sintax of the last mentioned instruction.

Re: [Tutor] IDLE/phythonWin -- Who's On First? (Abbott and Costello)
This appears to be an old problem. . However, the question remains. What to do about it? reboot? I killed about a dozen pythonwin.exe task, but to no avail. Wayne Watson wrote: Using WinMerge, I found a difference between the two that shouldn't have been, but it didn't solve the problem. dialog.rateVar.get() versus dialog.rateVar.get There was another like it with get(), but it wouldn't have been executed in my test run. I suspect something else like that lurks in the code. Wayne Watson wrote: I ran it w/o using either IDLE/pyWin, and it worked without any messages, as shown by the console window. Isn't this the same as using the console? Outside of the two, my guess is that some subtle was made to the code, accidentally, and one tolerates it and the other doesn't. I'm going to do a WinMerge compare between the current py and a slightly older one. Alan Gauld wrote: "Wayne Watson" wrote Signature.htmlMy program in IDLE bombed with: == Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): dialog = OperationalSettingsDialog( self.master, set_loc_dict ) tkSimpleDialog.Dialog.__init__(self, parent) self.wait_visibility() # window needs to be visible for the grab But runs fine in pythonWin performing the same entry operation. Lets eliminate some variables by avoiding any IDEs. Does it work OK when run from a DOS console? Or if you just double click the file in Windows explorer? If it does that means its some kind of interaction between the program and IDLE. This is not unusual since IDLE is itself a Tkinter program and although recent versions are much better behaved with Tkinter it can still cause some strangeness. If you still get an error running outside the IDE then we can analyze it more closely. For that we will need the code, at least the function that calls the dialog. And if its a subclass the dialog class too. -- Signature.html Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.01 Deg. W, 39.26 Deg.
