[Tutor] Wading through traceback output
I have a script that I used to be quite proud of, up until today it was
working great. Basically it reads in a directory tree of spreadsheets,
extracts info from them then makes a new spreadsheet to output the info
to. The spreadsheets are xls files so it uses xlrd and xlwt to manage
the data extraction and spreadsheet creation. Today when I ran it
(after a hiatus of about 3 months) I got this output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./cttOverviewMain.0.03.2011.py", line 294, in
monthData(searchList)
File "./cttOverviewMain.0.03.2011.py", line 261, in monthData
writeMonthlyHeader(writeSheet)
File "./cttOverviewMain.0.03.2011.py", line 183, in writeMonthlyHeader
sh.write(7,10,"# Locations",xlwt.easyxf('font: bold True'))

149, in _add_style raise ValueError("More than 4094 XFs (styles)")
ValueError: More than 4094 XFs (styles)
I don't understand this very well at all - any pointers are
appreciated. I think what it is saying is that there is a problem with
my Python libraries but this is not a problem I have ever seen before.
Is it possible the 2.6 libraries were updated in the hiatus time
causing this problem? If so any ideas on how I can investigate fixing
this are appreciated.

It looks like the point that the program leaves your code is here:

sh.write(7,10,"# Locations",xlwt.easyxf('font: bold True'))
So that points the finger at the xlwt module. If it has been updated has
the format of that call changed - to a dictionary/tuple of values for

These are all guesses but might give you a starting point.
Incidentally cttOverviewMain.0.03.2011.py seems like a bizarre
name for a file? I assume that's the date or somesuch? What is the
thinking behind that?

Those files are in the same folder:

I don't want to write a full path here:
if __name__ == '__main__':
print test('lengthcounter_lutz.py')
How to add this directory to the search path?
>So what is it doing exactly that seems wrong?

I have a slightly different copy of this file:
def countLines(name):
file = open(name.__file__)
return len(file.readlines())
def countChars(name):
return len(open(name.__file__).read())
def test(name):
return "Lines:", countLines(name), "Chars:", countChars(name)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import lengthcounter
print test(lengthcounter)
I've tried to run it in the interactive shell:
import lengthcounter as lc
lc.test(lengthcounter)
And here is the output:
('Lines:', 5, 'Chars:', 885)
But that code has 13 lines and 317 characters according to the Emacs' counter.
Where is an error?
Cheers.

How to add this directory to the search path?
Once again, there is no search path for the open() function. You can
either supply an absolute name (eg. starting with leading slash), or you
can supply a path relative to the current directory. If you're not sure
what the current directory is, you can fetch it with something like:
import os
print os.path.abspath(os.curdir)
But if you're running the script from the terminal window, it should
simply be the current directory for that window. If you're running it
from some other shell, you'd have to consult that shell's docs.

Thanks so much for the input Alan, guesses on your part are far better
than the ignorance on my part. I do get automatic updates (though
xlwt is not part of that, OpenOffice and its xls writing is), will have
to look at that.
Also appreciate the thoughts about the file name. This is my first big
project and I still have much to learn. If you can point me to a
discussion of file naming when there are multiple files involved in a
project I am game to do some reading!

Many package managers keeps a history of what packages are
installed/updated/removed. You might want to use those to find if
OpenOffice or some other libraries had been updated since the last time
the script worked.

Use version control, it will relieve you of versioning headache.
Nowadays it's pretty easy to setup a DVCS like mercurial or git even for
small projects.

It may be that there is something different about your data with this
recent run. I googled your error message and came up with this link:
http://groups.google.com/group/python-excel/browse_thread/thread/c717ad00c7acc848
I'm not familiar with the package, but ValueError: More than 4094 XFs
(styles) has lots of links on google. To test my guess, would it be
possible for you to set up your application to run it on files that it
successfully worked on before? If it won't work on them, then I'd
guess that a module may have updated. But if it does work, then you
may have some condition in your new data that exercises your program
in a way it hasn't be exercised before that raises the exception.
The link I showed contains this little snippet:

...and we have a winner.
Create the style *once* in your outermost part of the function and
re-used it, rather than creating a new style each and every time you
write a date cell...

Those files are in the same folder:
/Users/Username/Python_modules/
And is that where you are running the code from? That is the critical
factor.
By just providing the filename Python assumes its in the same folder
that you ran the program from. If you run it from somewhere else you
*must* provide the full (or relative() path to the file. There is no
option for Python to search for it.
I don't want to write a full path here:
if __name__ == '__main__':
print test('lengthcounter_lutz.py')
You don't have any option.
You either type in the full path or you get the user to tell you
in some way - either with a prompt or via an input argument.
I have a slightly different copy of this file:
def countLines(name):
file = open(name.__file__)
return len(file.readlines())
def countChars(name):
return len(open(name.__file__).read())
def test(name):

if __name__ == '__main__':
import lengthcounter
print test(lengthcounter)
I've tried to run it in the interactive shell:
import lengthcounter as lc
lc.test(lengthcounter)
Are you sure it is your version that's being picked up?
Try renaming it to something guaranteed to be unique. See if the results
are the same.
Also I would expect the prompt to complain because you are passing
lengthcounter as a name to the test function, but you imported
lengthcounter as lc, so python should not know about lengthcounter
unless you had already imported it (or another file?)
eg.
>>> import random as r
>>> random.__file__
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
NameError: name 'random' is not defined
>>>
Try starting a fresh interpreter session and repeating the test.

Since pywin doesn't provide the functions, it also doesn't provide documentation. For that, you go to the people who actually wrote the functions: Microsoft. In fact, it might make more sense to turn your search around: look at MSDN _first_ to see what functions are available, and then look at the pywin docs to see how to call them. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] Which libraries for Python 2.5.2
Here's the traceback. Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

If we are to give any kind of useful advice at all, we're going to need to see those error messages.

What are wiser choices? This question is based on the assumption that version mismatch is the cause of your problems. Even though that might be correct, it is not an assumption you can safely make. In general, when asking questions here (and anywhere really, imho) you should try to provide as much factual information and as little conjecture as you can.

Re: [Tutor] A few Python Mysteries [Reset]
Regardless, the problem is solved. See my [SOLVED] msg I put up this morning (USA). It's in response to Lie Ryan. However, I have no real idea how is was caused.
