[Tutor] installing python 2.4.1 over 2.4
Hello, I have python 2.4. I would like to install python 2.4.1, Should I uninstall python 2.4, or just install 2.4.1? Does it effect my ide such as pydev and komodo ? Sincerely Yours, pujo ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Sorting a directory
you can sort listsource based on listkey
For example:
you have listsource = ['c','b','a']
and listkey = [2,3,1] # this will be used to sort listsource.
def sortbasedlist(sources,keys):
#combine (key,sources)
Kombin = [(keys[i],sources[i]) for i in range(len(sources))]
Kombin.sort()
return [source for (key,source) in Kombin]
main program:
print sortbasedlist(listsource,listkey) # this will result ('a','c','b')
And for your problem you can do something like this:
# suppose files already found and can be considered as source
filesKey = [x[-2:] for x in files]
Result = sortbasedlist(files,filesKey)
good luck.

Re: [Tutor] (no subject)
Actually you can do the same way:
# Convert intAscii to charAscii
S = [chr(x) for x in range(0,256)]
for x in S: print x
#Convert charAscii to intAscii
AsciiInt = [ord(x) for x in S]
for x in AsciiInt: print x

Re: [Tutor] a generic table data structure for table / 2d array / lookup table?
You can create small class with handle table thing and use dictionary
as the main data.
Look at this code:
class mytable:
def __init__(self):
self.dat = {}
pass
def input(self,row,col,val):
self.dat[row] = {col:val}
pass
def output(self,row,col):
try: return self.dat[row][col]
except: return None
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
mytab = mytable()
mytab.input(1,'A','cat')
# Ok
print mytab.output(1,'A') # it will result 'cat'
# Not Ok --> No Data
print mytab.output(2,'B') # it will result None

Re: [Tutor] Planning a program with algorithm?
Before you write algorithm it is always good to know every aspect of
the programing language you will use.
python has built in function like set, data like list, dictionary,
style like list comprehension, lambda etc that worth knowing
before you start to write algorithm.
It is always good to write program as soon as you have in my mind. in
old program paradigm sometimes we needs planning, python makes it
possible to do less planning because it is less typing language with
battery included style. sometimes python code is more clear than the
algorithm. : )
About planning bigger project, I suggest you use extreme programming
style (like refactoring etc,), since good program sometimes needs you
to change your code quiet often.

Hallo Danny, If we always start interpreter everytime we want to run python in emacs/xemacs, is it counter productive? I usually have to clean the buffer/output pane before running my program, so I always do this to start my program: C-c ! to start the interpreter C-c o to change my windows C-c C-c to run the program C-x k ENTER to close it C-c o to change my editor again C-c ! to start the interpreter again This is one cycle of running. Is that normal ??? What is the difference between running C-c C-c directly and running it after the interpreter? I need to make shortcut for starting interpreter do you have any idea.

[Tutor] matplotlib (pylab) backends
Hello I write a program which launch pylab from windows GUI (using wxpython). I found some problem here. If I use the default backends program in matplotlibrc which is TkAgg I have this result: 1. I click button the plot is showed 2. I close the plot 3. I click the button to show the plot the second time. it shows the plot but I can't closed it (it hangs. If I use the WX as my backends program ( i have to change manually in matplotlibrc) I have this result: 1. I click button the plot is showed 2. I close the plot 3. I click the button to show the plot the second time. it shows perfect. 4. I close my GUI this time the program doesn't totally close (I can check from windows manager process).

Re: [Tutor] Multiple Simultaneous Loops
assume:
you have two list with the same size
L1 = [1,2,3]
L2 = [11,22,33]
you can zip the L1 and L2 into L
L = zip(L1,L2) # L = [(1,11),(2,22),(3,33)]
then you can process:
for x in L:
dosomething(x[0])...
dosomething(x[1])...
I'm not so sure about your problem but
If you want to do something parallel processing then you should go to threading or pyro.

Or maybe can I access the number of times the loop has run? ('x = x +1' is so common there must be some more attractive shortcut).So far in learning Python I've founbd that when I feel you should be

Re: [Tutor] handling of tabular data
Hi Frank, you can use Numeric.py it is also powerfull to handle averages, min, max, matrix algebra, etc.. see: http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy/ You just need to use a list.

Re: [Tutor] how to speed up this code?
Hello Andrew,
Thanks for the info.
I wonder if everytime we have to solve loop inside loop which use big array will force us to think another algorithm like matrix model. Since this model is suitable with Numeric.py
I think looping style sometimes easier to describe our problem.

It's way past my bedtime, but any use of numpy/numarray that involves two nested for loops to step over each element is the wrong solution :) You need to figure out how to get rid of that inner for. That is what is slowing you down.
Compare these two ways to multiply a 1000 element array by 100. The first one steps over the elements one at a time, multiplying each one in turn. The second multiplies the entire array at once. Which boils down to looping over 2000 rows, instead of 4,000,000 elements :)

Re: [Tutor] Focus on the functions [Was Re: if-else statements]
Dear Norman, You can reuse function, this make your code more easy to handle. Suppose you have code to calculate area of rectangle, but this time you like to calculate 3 times: width = 3; length = 2 print 'area', width * length width = 1; length =32 print 'area', width * length width = 31; length = 22 print 'area', width * length it is better if you have function func_area def func_area(width,length): return func_area(width,length) then your code becomes: width = 3; length = 2 print 'area', func_area(width,length) width = 1; length =32 print 'area', func_area(width,length) width = 31; length = 22 print 'area', func_area(width ,length) And something happened that a new area formulation of rectangle is = width * length * length (of course this is wrong, it is only an example that your formula or code sometime needs to be changed), so instead of writing all of this formulation one by one which prone to error, you can change only your defined function func_area. def func_area(width,length): return width * length * length And you get the right result. The key here is that you can change your code easily. The next day you create a code in another module for example new_module.py then you would like to use your func_area which in old_module.py, then you can just import and use it. in your new_module.py you can type: import old_module print 'area of rectangle according old module is : ', old_module.func_area(11,22) The key here is that you can reuse your function when you need it in other module.

Re: [Tutor] dictionary
you work with dictionary.
In dictionary you work with the key to get your value. You don't care about how python arrange the key.
your key here are: 'res', 'com', 'ind', and 'other'
when you want to get your value you just type:
landUse['res'] this you will get 1
landUse['ind'] this you will get 3

hashtables are deliberately "misordered" to make them work fast.We can take the items() of a dictionary, and sort those. For example:##>>> nums = {'one' : 1, 'two' : 2, 'three' : 3 }
>>> nums{'three': 3, 'two': 2, 'one': 1}>>> nums.items()[('three', 3), ('two', 2), ('one', 1)]##We see that items() is a list of key-value pairs. We can sort lists by
using their sort method().##>>> list_of_nums = nums.items()>>> list_of_nums.sort()>>> list_of_nums[('one', 1), ('three', 3), ('two', 2)]##Is this what you're looking for? If you have more questions, please feel

Re: [Tutor] Object Oriented Programmin
Object is object, means like ordinary object we know.Let's say good things about objecs paradigm.First you can create object of course. object can contain property and action.You can put your object as part as other object. It makes sense since for example object hand is part of object body in human term.
You can derive a new object from your old one (with its property and action). You can, in this new object, add a new function or change the function from the old one. This will make your old object untouchable and your new object easy to build (you don't have to build from the start)
Let's start with a simple code.We can create a simple dog classclass dog: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name pass def action(self):
print 'run'class doberman(dog): def __init__(self, name): dog.__init__(self,name) def bark(self): print 'wuu'class coco(dog): def __init__(self, name):
dog.__init__(self,name) def action(self): print 'jump' def bark(self): print 'waa'#--d1 = doberman('deni')
d1.action() # 'run'd1.bark() # 'wuu' d2 = coco('mayin')d2.action() # 'jump'd2.bark() # 'waa'Note:Each has name as an ID.
a doberman uses the same action like dog classa coco uses different action than the original action from dog which is 'run'In this example we can see we can change one object easily and doesn't change the original class which is dog. This make less prone to error.
both doberman and coco can use bark but the result will be differentboth doberman and coco can access name this also result in different way.It is nice since you can use the same word bark to all of the new dogs you've created.
I try to describe as simple as I can. In this example you can put another function like getname in dog class so that all type of dogs has this function automaticaly.Hope this helppujo

Re: [Tutor] newbie question about default arguments
Hello Josh,you wrote a different problem. The tutorial should be like this: Important warning: The default value is evaluated only once. This makes a difference when the default is a mutable object such as a list, dictionary, or instances of most classes. For example, the following function accumulates the arguments passed to it on subsequent calls: def f(a, L=[]):L.append(a)return Lprint f(1)print f(2)print f(3) This will print [1][1, 2][1, 2, 3] If you don't want the default to be shared between subsequent calls, you can write the function like this instead: def f(a, L=None):if L is None:L = []L.append(a)return LLook the second example use None instead of []To explain more detail let's create an example : def f1(a, L=[]): L.append(a) return Ldef f2(a, L=None): if L is None: L = [] L.append(a) return Ldef main(): m = f2(3) print m # produce [3] m = f2(4) print m # produce [4] # m = f1(3) print m # produce[3] m = f1(4) print m # produce[3,4] passin f1 : when we don't put the second argument the L=[] is created only once. The second input in f1 will be accumulated. in f2: when we don't put the second argument L is given a None value. Inside this function if L is None then L = [] this will always make L = [] that's way no accumulation happened.Hope this help.pujo On 3/29/06, Josh Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all,I was going through the tutorial at http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html when Icame to the bit about default arguments with this code:def f(a, L=[]): L.append(a)return Lprint f(1)print f(2)print f(3)returns:[1][1, 2][1, 2, 3]>From the postings here, I think I understand that this occurs because L is only initialized when f is first run.

Re: [Tutor] underscore function
Python programmers prefer to use name convention to make method of class "looks" private.Usually they use of '_' before the private method or private attribute name.This private method like the one you mentioned def _abc is not intentionaly used outside the class other then it is used among other class methods privately. Example:class A: def __init__(self, myvar): self._myvar = myvar def _makedouble(self): '''this method is private''' self._myvar = self._myvar * 2 def printvarADouble(self): self._makedouble() print self._myvardef main(): o = A(2) o.printvarADouble() # 4You may use def abc instead of def _abc, again it is only a convention.
