Your mail seems to assume that we will know what you are talking about.
I have no idea what doznake is. I don;t recognize your data sample.
def vrs_drv():
vrs_drv = raw_input("Enter a vrs_drv:")
Its a really bad idea to name a variable the
same as the name of the function.
if vrs_drv == "21":
return("1")
if vrs_drv == "22":
return("2")
if vrs_drv == "41":
return("4")
I have no idea what these numbers are supposed to signify,
they appear to be quite arbitrary and bear no relation
to the numbers in your data above... Also what do you do
if the user enters a different number from 21,31,41?
number1 = vrs_drv()
print("kl_number1:",number1)
You show us your code. What does the output look like?
def prs_prec():
prs_prec = raw_input("Enter a prs_prec:")
Again, don't use the same name as the function.
if prs_prec == "20":
return("20")
if prs_prec == "40":
return("40")
if prs_prec == "80":
return("80")
Since you just return the same string as the input
you could have saved a lot of coding.
What you expect to happen if the user enters
something other than 20,40 or 80?
number2 = prs_prec()
print("kl_number2:",number2)
Again, can we see the output?
def teh_kl():
teh_kl = raw_input("Enter a teh_kl:")
if teh_kl == "1":
return("1")
if teh_kl == "2":
return("2")
if teh_kl == ("3"):
return("3")
if teh_kl == ("4"):
return("4")
Exactly the same comments as above.
number3 = teh_kl()
print("kl_number3:",number3)
print(number1+number2+number3)
print("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
OK, Now I see the relationship with the data sample.
formular doznake.txt
red_broj = 1
vrs_drv = 21
prs_prec = 20
teh_kl = 2
red_broj = 2
vrs_drv = 21
prs_prec = 40
teh_kl = 3
I assume red_broj indicates the start of a new record?
So you can read three lines from the file after you
find a red_broj entry?
Something like this? (untested)
kl_numbers = []
with open('doznake.txt') as doznake
for line in doznake:
if line.startswith('red_broj')
num = makeNumber(next(doznake),next(doznake),next(doznake))
kl_numbers.append(num)
def makeNumber(l1,l2,l3):
nums = []
for line in (s1,s2,s3):
nums.append(line.rstrip().split()[-1])
return ''.join(nums)
That should result in you having a list of the kl_numbers
you asked for in your data sample. If I understood
your question properly.

Hi Dave, Danny,

But in reality there is meth2 through methn, where n is at least a dozen. I
considered monkey patching because it seemed easy to experiment with and the
use case for which this would be needed was not very common. And it's fun to
experiment with it of course. But I will have to refactor my decode decorator.
Thanks!!

Re: [Tutor] mySQL and Python
One of my pet hates about this list... "This is a tutor list, your question is out of scope". Sure there might be better places to seek answers, and sure maybe the first responder doesn't know the answer, but that's not a reason to respond with that phrase. This list is a called python tutor, not python beginner, even if the large majority of the questions are beginner questions. The fact that people can ask any python related question is one of the things I like about it and wish that other languages had similar lists. Back to answer the original question... I recommend using the official MySQL connector because it's supported by MySQL and it's continuously developed, which means it won't stop working when you change Python versions, or MySQL versions, and it's documented. I've tried some other MySQL libs in the past that worked OK but were a nightmare when it came to supporting them due to changes in the environment. Download the connector from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/ The latest version should work just fine on Python 3.4 Documentation on how to use it is also available on the MySQL website: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-examples.html Hope this helps. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] unittest for: Raises an exception
I use a MAC OSX 10.9.5
Enthought Canopy Python 2.7.6
I am a learner.
I am now trying to learn unittests as is often emphasised on this list.
I think that I have understood the simple unit tests such as Equal,
Greater etc.
But I am struggling with the syntax of a test for Raises an exception.
The function that I am tring to test is:
For some reason my indentation has not been correctly copied.
I am sure that it is correct becuase I have chacked it as well as the
program. Also the 20 tests that are OK refer to all the other functions
in the program.
def getSurplusLabourTime(self, ww, uvc):
self.ww = ww
self.uvc = uvc
try:
self.surplus_labour_time = self.ww - self.uvc
return self.surplus_labour_time
except:
if self.surplus_labour_time <= 0.0:
raise ValueError("Surplus labour time cannot be" + \
" equal to or shorter than zero!")
My test code is the following:
def test_func_getSurplusLabourTime_Exc(self):
self.assertRaises(ValueError,self.cwp.getSurplusLabourTime(self.cwp.ww,self.cwp.uvc))
[This last line should indented, but it refuses to do so!]
The traceback is as follows:

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Re: [Tutor] unittest for: Raises an exception
Hi,
When using self.assertRaises like this you should pass a callable (the
function you are going to call), but not call the function on the test. The
problem is when the function takes arguments. At this point you need to
create a callable with the two arguments. That can be done with functools
but it's not easy to follow (If you want me to explain more on this path I
can happily do it). For me the nicest syntax to test raising exceptions is
to use a context manager. As the following:
with self.assertRaises(ValueError):
self.cwp.getSurplusLabourTime(self.cwp.ww,self.cwp.uvc)
Kind Regards,
Raul

You're right to address problematic tone, such as brusqueness. The poster has apologised, so that's acknowledged. That said, the point made is valid: This is not a general-purpose Python discussion forum, so there are many potential threads that are off-topic and should happen elsewhere. > This list is a called python tutor, not python beginner, even if the > large majority of the questions are beginner questions. The focus of this forum *is* tutoring beginners. The name can't be the sole guide to what's on or off topic, so please don't argue as though it is. > The fact that people can ask any python related question is one of the > things I like about it and wish that other languages had similar > lists. Then you have the wrong forum in mind. While we're not going to boot people out merely for asking “any Python related question”, there are many Python-related topics that are better not discussed here and it's important that we regulars point that out. If you want a more general Python discussion forum, we have one of those too: it's called ‘python-list’, also available via Usenet at ‘comp.lang.python’.

You might need to use a better message composition tool. If you're typing into a Web application, please see the discussion happening in this forum about appropriate email clients for posting program code. So I'll reformat that code for readability:: def test_func_getSurplusLabourTime_Exc(self): self.assertRaises( ValueError, self.cwp.getSurplusLabourTime(self.cwp.ww, self.cwp.uvc)) > The traceback is as follows: > > == > ERROR: test_func_getSurplusLabourTime_Exc (__main__.Testcwp) > -- > Traceback (most recent call last): […] > "/Applications/Canopy.app/appdata/canopy-1.5.1.2730.macosx-x86_64/Canopy.app/Contents/lib/python2.7/unittest/case.py", > line 475, in assertRaises > callableObj(*args, **kwargs) > TypeError: 'float' object is not callable The error message is correct: the ‘assertRaises’ method expects a callable object in the second parameter, but you've supplied an object which is not callable (a float). Have a closer look at the documentation for ‘TestCase.assertRaises’:: assertRaises(exception, callable, *args, **kwds) Test that an exception is raised when callable is called with any positional or keyword arguments that are also passed to assertRaises(). https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertRaises> It's unfortunate the documentation doesn't give an example. But note that clause “when `callable` is called with any […] arguments that *are also passed to assertRaises*”. So you don't call the function yourself; if you do, you get back its return value (in your case, a float object) and *that's* your argument to ‘assertRaises’ — not the function you're trying to test! Instead of calling the function and getting its return value, you pass *the function itself* to ‘assertRaises’, along with any arguments you want *the test method* to call it with. This indirection is a little confusing, and again I'm unhappy the documentation doesn't show an example. Here's one:: def test_func_getSurplusLabourTime_Exc(self): self.assertRaises( ValueError, self.cwp.getSurplusLabourTime, self.cwp.ww, self.cwp.uvc) What the documentation does show as an example, though, is a new-ish feature that might suit you better. You can now make your test code more comprehensible by instead using the ‘assertRaises’ method as a context manager, and then you just call your function normally. Like this:: def test_func_getSurplusLabourTime_Exc(self): with self.assertRaises(ValueError): self.cwp.getSurplusLabourTime(self.cwp.ww, self.cwp.uvc) Context managers are a very helpful feature that can make code more elegant and readable.

Thanks. Hi Beatrice, Following up on James's recommendation, it does look like MySQL Connector should support the latest versions of Python, according to: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-versions.html where it says "Python 3.3 and later" are supported. So try using the 2.0 version of the Connector. Also, there appears to be a forum specific to MySQL Connector questions hosted by the MySQL folks at: http://forums.mysql.com/list.php?50 and they should be able to give specific help on that software too. That being said, you're welcome to ask questions here! My apologies again for sounding exclusive in my last email. I was trying to express the idea that Tutor might not be the best place to ask MySQL driver installation questions. I was trying to direct you to folks that should be better equipped to answer your questions based on their direct experience. But thankfully, it does sound like we do have a few MySQL-familiar folks on the list after all, so my concerns aren't as valid as I had thought. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Suggestions on pyserial for RS232 com monitor?
Hi Python Gang. I have a project where I'm sending serial data to a Ten-Tec RX320 radio receiver. I'm using COM2 @1200 baud(standard N,8,1 parameters). I have a need to verify the data that I'm sending to the device. It occurred to me that python installed on a laptop might be a great idea. I can send the commands to the laptop instead of the radio and monitor the commands. Does anyone have any suggestions on a python script that would wait for incoming data on a select com and display the data once sent? I would probably install python 2.7 in the laptop for this project, since the laptop has Ubuntu 12.04 OS. Any suggestions, script, or point me in a direction would be greatly appreciated.

Sure there might be better places to seek answers, and sure maybe the first responder doesn't know the answer, but that's not a reason to respond with that phrase. The point of these responses is two fold: 1) It guides the poster to a more appropriate place to get the answers they need. This list is populated by a large number of beginners who probably can't answer specialised topics and a smaller number of more expert volunteers who are here to answer beginner type questions. It is pot luck whether within that community there exists anyone with the specialised skills needed for any given question. So asking on a specialised forum (or a general forum with more experts) makes sense. 2) Asking too many specialised or deeply technical questions scares off the beginners and newbies that this list is designed to cater for. If they can't understand the content of much of the mails then they assume they must be too stupid to participate or learn. We don't want that to happen. After all the official description of the group says in the very first line: " This list is for folks who want to ask questions regarding how to learn computer programming with the Python language and its standard library." It goes on: " Folks interested in learning about programming with Python are encouraged to join, as are folks interested in helping others learn. While the list is called tutor, anyone, whether novice or expert, can answer questions." We already have a general interest Python list, the reason for spinning off a separate tutor list some 18(?) years ago was specifically to remove some of the techno-fear that the main list generated for beginners. But we very rarely flat out refuse to answer, we usually just say you'll likely get a better response elsewhere. Which is a simple statement of the facts. -- Alan G List moderator ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Don't worry, thanks everyone for the reply. I realize that the question was very general but I was looking for pointers which is exactly what you guys have given me.
