[Tutor] Subclassing list
I get an error "TypeError: 'rounding' is an invalid keyword argument
for this function" on my list subclass.
How might I subclass list without this error?
This is the code:
class SeriesList(list):
def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
series_list = list.__new__(cls, *args)
series_list.rounding = kwargs.get('rounding', None)
return series_list
def moving_average(self, function, period=10):
index = 0
window = []
ma = []
for i in self.__iter__():
i = float(i)
if is_not_nan(i):
window.insert(0, i)
if len(window) == period:
ma.append(function(window))
window.pop()
else:
ma.append(float('nan'))
return round(ma, self.rounding)

This is the traceback. I want to let SeriesList know how to round
moving average series derived from itself.

Re: [Tutor] Comments appreciated
Hi,
Jeff Shanon, thanks for your help. I was wondering if there was a
function to automatically get the user on a *nix system, and had tried
the if __name__ == __main__ but didn't really get it until your
example. The only thing I'm not clear about is how 'trashcan' can be a
local variable inside main() when it's required by both trash() and
can()
The only thing that's missing is that this script can't handle paths
like ~/dir/junkthis
Would a regular expression be the best way of finding the last /
followed by some text to be able to chdir to junk files from another
location?
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import os.path
from os import mkdir, remove
from sys import argv
from shutil import rmtree
trashcan = os.path.expanduser("~/.trashcan")
def main(junk):
empty = False
if "-e" in junk:
empty = True
junk.remove("-e")
if not os.path.exists(trashcan):
os.mkdir(trashcan)
if len(junk) > 0:
trash(junk)
if empty:
can()

toss = trashcan + "/" + i

[Tutor] cgi.FieldStorage and dictionary.get(' ')
Hi,
I've passed this through the interperter line-by-line, yet still can't
get it to work right.
The first time the cgi driver script initiates it runs the login
function which renders a zpt. Upon submission of their vitals, the
user is authenticated via sqlobject, and if they pass the chapters
function should run. However, what I get is zip, zilch, nada. Just a
blank page, with the query string appended to the url.
def main(form):
if form.has_key('author') and form.has_key('password'):
q = Users.select(AND(Users.q.author==form.get('author'),
Users.q.password==form.get('password')))
if len(list(q))>0:
chapters(author=form.get('author'))
else:
login(failure=True)
else:
login(failure=False)
Out of curiosity I wrote a simple test cgi.
#!/usr/local/bin/python
print 'Content-type: text/plain\n\n'
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
if form.has_key('author') and form.has_key('password'):
print form.keys()
print form.get('author')
print form.get('password')
Strangely, the calls to print form.get('author') and
form.get('password') don't appear in the output. Only the form.keys()
appears.
Additionally, why doesn't def main(form=cgi.FieldStorage()) work, I
tried to do it as so, thinking it more graceful, and it floundered.

[Tutor] elementtree, lists, and dictionaries
Hi,
This code works, but I don't like it much:
def authenticateAuthor(author, password):
authorxml = 'author.xml'
path = os.path.join(xml, authorxml)
try: if not os.path.exists(path):
authorfile = False
else:
authorfile = True
tree = E.ElementTree(file=path)
u = tree.getiterator('user')
p = tree.getiterator('password')
ul = []
pl = []
for unode in u:
ul.append(unode.text)
for pnode in p:
pl.append(pnode.text)
d = {}
for i in range(len(ul)):
d[ul[i]] = pl[i]
if d.has_key(author):
if d.get(author) == password:
auth = True
else:
auth = False
return auth, authorfile
It assumes a great deal, such as that there is no chance that there
will be more users then there are passwords, etc. given an xml
document format such as:
authorname
authorpassword
I don't like how I'm making two lists and then turning them into a
dictionary. It seems unpythonic.
Suggestions are appreciated.

[Tutor] xmlrpc server
Hi, I've been exploring xmlrpc implementations, and am somewhat confused as to what I should use. I've spent the most time poking at Twisted, which took me a while to figure out the basics of, and have spent a moment or two exploring py-xmlrpc as well as SimpleXMLRPCServer in the standard library. My observations are that: Twisted fully loaded with xmlrpc, database access using adbapi, and virtual hosts to proxy behind apache runs at almost 20mb of memory. This seems a lot, but Twisted also offers a great deal more such as web-templating with Nevow, if necessary. py-xmlrpc uses a scant 4mb of memory, does only one thing, and does it well, serve xmlrpc requests. It appears significantly faster than Twisted. SimpleXMLRPCServer, as a CGI solution, appears acceptable, given that it be run from FastCGI or mod_python to give it that extra boost. What would you suggest? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] slicing nested lists/dicts/tuples
Hi,
Yes, sorry I haven't posted to the list in a while. I should have been
more specific. I'm writing a simple contact database, using metakit as
the backend. Thank you for pointing out that what I was trying to do
was easier than I believed.
Here's some code.
db = metakit.storage('c:/addy.mk',1)
vw = db.getas('contacts[first:S,last:S,phone:S,email:S,notes:S]')
desc = ('first', 'last', 'phone', 'email', 'notes')
def listItems():
l= []
d = {}
for r in range(len(vw)):
d = {'first':vw[r].first,
'last':vw[r].last, 'phone':vw[r].phone, 'email':vw[r].email,
'notes':vw[r].notes}
l.append(d)
return l
At the moment I would like to generate the listItems dynamically, from
the desc variable, so new databases can be added without changing the
code.
I thought that if:
def listItems():
l= []
d = {}
lt = len(desc)
for r in range(len(vw)):
for x in range(len(lt)):
d[desc[x]] = exec("""'vw'+[r]+'.'+desc[x]""")
l.append(d)
return l
Whereby the vw metakit object behaves like a dictionary, and the exec statement isn't usable in the way I would wish for.

I understand correctly, you want to take all the rows of the view and
turn them into dicts, and build a list of all the dicts. If so, the
code above is way too complex.First, you can iterate over a list such as vw directly, you don't have to iterate the indices. Instead offor r in range(len(vw)): do something with vw[r]you just say
for vwitem in vw: do something with vwNext,
instead of exec you should use getattr(). To put the value into d you
don't need either; you can assign to d[ed] directly. To get the 'ed'
attribute from vwitem, use getattr(vwitem, ed).I also moved the assignment to d inside the loop so you start each row with a fresh dictionary. Here is the result:def listItems():l= []for vwitem in vw:
d = {}for ed in desc:d[ed] = getattr(vwitem, ed)l.append(d)print lKent
That's beautiful. I'm really grokking getattr, and I notice that it has
some close relations in the family of built-in functions.

[Tutor] OT, Tcl & Python
Hi, I was wondering if someone knowledgeable of both Tcl and Python could suggest whether it would be a good or a bad idea to write a Python/Tk application, with the motive to rewrite the application in Tcl/Tk once completed. My reason for considering this route is that I have never written a single line of Tcl code nor coded a Tk application in the past. My motivation is the greater ease of deployment across systems that Tcl seems to offer, with Starkits and Starpacks, http://www.equi4.com/starkit.html Tcl also appears useful to learn, for writing scripts in tclsh, etc. I've experimented with py2exe in the past, which seems fine for Windows, although I have never tried py2app, and this approach seems cumbersome. A typical GUI app is approximately 5 MB in python, distributed as a collection of files in a folder, whereas a Tcl Starpack is a compact 1 MB, distributed as a single file executable.

In fact I'd avoid OOP all together sinceTcl OOP is significantly different to Python OOP and not evenpart of standard Tcl. ...

use of map seems fine to me. You could also write it as a list
comprehension which is more mainstream Python idiom and maybe more
readable in this case as it is self-contained: desc = [ i[:-2] for i in desc ]> primaryKey = desc[0]> return desc, vw, primaryKeyI
don't see the need for the global declaration; desc, vw, primaryKey are
all assigned within this function and returned to the caller.Kent
My blooper, should be d={}
In this case consider desc, vw, and primaryKey to be of the same
importance as dbs, other functions must access them in a way that
renders their being local impossible, unless the logic where to be
encapsulated in a class, which didn't seem necessary.

Benchmarks are more or less useless in this arena (it depends on what you are doing, and how you intend to do it), and as they say there exists three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics! Zope2.x is a bit of a bear IMO, but has a great number of packages to use. The most compelling reasons to use Zope2 might be Plone or Silva. I didn't pay much attention to CPU usage (usually 0 anyway, unless a request is firing), but ram for Zope2 from my VPS on a FreeBSD box, basic functionality, no additional packages, was approximately 24mb; with Silva, 30mb; and with Plone+Psyco, 50mb. This is just the beginning of course. If you want a community site, use Plone, if you want to grok Zope use Silva. Zope scales http://www.enfoldsystems.com/About/News/oxfam Zope3 is interesting, but is fairly fresh. Ram usage tends towards 30mb with no additional packages. Twisted is an excellent framework, with the downside that your code becomes somewhat tied to Twisted (although this is true with any framework), and single thread methodology. Nevow+Livepage looks interesting, but I've never really experimented. Livepage seems to fail if Twisted is proxied by another server, such as Apache. Ram usage begins at 10mb, with a fully loaded site, including database access via an adapter such as pgasync, requiring about 20mb. The most compelling feature of Twisted is its breadth of protocols i.e. http server, with xmlrpc and soap, in almost 0 lines of code (provided you understand the libraries :^) CherryPy2 is the most interesting in my opinion, the builtin server tends towards 16mb of ram out of the box. Your code is pure python, without requiring you to learn many cherrpyism's, which also means your code will be more portable, say if you wished to create a tk/wx gui front, in addition to the web. I beleive that the builtin cherry server is to be depracated in some future release, in favor of WSGI. I have been writing a rather long CGI, and am intending to port the code to cherrypy. Not certain about cherrypy's enterprise applicability, and starting/stopping the server when your code changes can be annoying, however, it seems to work...

Hi Jennine,
To complete this assignment you will be writing a CGI. From the
website it appears that you have not had to write one before that used
form data. To use form data with python, you should use the cgi
module. You can examine the documentation for this module by pressing
F1 while within IDLE, and entering the module list.
Here's a simple example:
#!/usr/LOCAL/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
import cgi
def main(form):
if form.has_key("Name"):
print "Name: %s" % form["Name"].value
else:
print """http://cgi.sfu.ca/~rbnewby/cgi-bin/example.cgi"; method="get">
"""
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(cgi.FieldStorage())
A working example is viewable at:
http://cgi.sfu.ca/~rbnewby/cgi-bin/example.cgi
Depending upon the requirements of the assignment you may be able to
password protect the script with htauth, details here:

Ideally, you would put your names into a list or dictionary to make
working with them easier. If all you're trying to do is count them
(and your list of names is long), you might consider a dictionary
which you would use like so:
#This is just the first thing I considered.
l = ['a list of names']
d = {}
for name in namelist:
if d.has_key(name):
x = d.get(name)
d[name] = x + 1

Hi, After fighting with installing pysqlite2, (although you require the .tar.gz for a *Nix build, the header file required, sqlite3.h, was actually in the source .zip supplied for windows users sans a unix build environment) Anyway, I have pysqlite2, but: Python 2.3.4 (#1, Aug 23 2004, 13:59:34) [GCC 3.2.3] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ? File "/home/rbnewby/lib/python/pysqlite2/dbapi2.py", line 32, in ? from pysqlite2._sqlite import * ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file /home/NaN/lib/python/pysqlite2/_sqlite.so: symbol sqlite3_libversion: referenced symbol not found However, bash-2.05$ ldd -s _sqlite.so find object=libsqlite.so.0; required by ./_sqlite.so search path=/usr/openwin/lib (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) trying path=/usr/openwin/lib/libsqlite.so.0 search path=/home/NaN/lib (RPATH from file ./_sqlite.so) trying path=/home/NaN/lib/libsqlite.so.0 libsqlite.so.0 =>/home/NaN/lib/libsqlite.so.0 I'm a little confused why a python process wouldn't also be able to find the required library. Any insights about what's happening would be appreciated. Luis ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

It tends not to have an intermittent schedule of releases. Luis ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Since this was sometime ago, and wxPython has since gained a few version numbers, I can't comment on its current stability. It was fine when I tried it, little bloated though. I'm a committed emacs user now. Luis ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
