How do I find possible matches using regular expression?
Hi there, I'm trying to do some predicting work over user input, here's my question: for pattern r'match me', the string 'no' will definitely fail to match, but 'ma' still has a chance if user keep on inputting characters after 'ma', so how do I mark 'ma' as a possible match string?

Re: The Python Papers Edition One
I've recently tried the docutils's reST module with Pygments ( to highlight Python sources), so you can have LaTeX + HTML + PDF output (You can see what it renders here : h**p://kib2.free.fr/geoPyX/geoPyX.html ). It worked fine, but needs a little work to suit your needs (you'll have to write your own CSS, and maybe your LaTeX preambule ). For OpenOffice, a friend wrote a little Python script that colourize a Python source inside a document. I think It will be possible to write your own for HTML output, but the ooo API docs aren't well documented for Python. Chears, 6Tool9 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Finding the carret position in a regular expression
Hi, supposed I've got the following text : mytext = "for in :" with the following simple pattern : pattern = "<[a-z]+>" I use re.findall(pattern, mytext) wich returns : ['',''] Now, I want my prog to return the positions of the returned list elements, ie : was found at position 5 in mytext was found at position 16 in mytext How can I implement this ?

Using SimpleXMLRPCServer in a Windows Service
After some Googling I found a post of someone who wanted to do exactly
as what I want to do now.
There is however a problem in his code that makes the service fails
after the first connection. I slightly modified his code and now I can
run the service longer before I run into trouble.
I then tried making the SimpleXMLRPCServer multi-threaded, hoping the
problem would disappear, but no avail.

If you want to match against only one target, then target.startswith(user_input) is, as already mentioned, just fine. However if you have multiple targets, like a list of computer-language keywords, or the similar problem of an IME for a language like Chinese, then you can set up a prefix-tree dictionary so that you can search the multiple target keywords in parallel. All you need to do is keep a "finger" pointed at the node you have reached along the path; after each input character, either the finger gets pointed at the next relevant node (if the input character is valid) or you return/raise a failure indication.

I'm not sure what you're asking here, but if you digest the following
facts, maybe you can answer it yourself:
1) all objects that exist at the same time have distinct identifies, and
2) a Python implementation may or may not hand reuse existing immutable
objects that have the same value when asked to create a new object,
3) identities are recycled when objects are deleted, and
4) [] and {} always create a new object every time they're evaluated.

The following may or may not work in the real world:
import re

candidates = []
for stop in reversed(range(1, len(regex)+1)):
partial = regex[:stop]
try:
r = re.compile(partial + "$", flags)

candidates.reverse()
return candidates
if __name__ == "__main__":
candidates = parts(r"[a-z]+\s*=\s*\d+", re.IGNORECASE)
def check(*args):
s = var.get()
for c in candidates:
m = c.match(s)
if m:
entry.configure(foreground="#008000")
break
else:
entry.configure(foreground="red")
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
var = tk.StringVar()
var.trace_variable("w", check)
entry = tk.Entry(textvariable=var)
entry.pack()
root.mainloop()
The example lets you write an assignment of a numerical value, e. g
meaning = 42
and colours the text in green or red for legal/illegal entries.

Not nice, especially if you can't control what is in s :)
A simple solution if you know s will always contain string
representations of integers is:
>>> s = "10, 20, 30"
>>> [int(x) for x in s.split(',')]
[10, 20, 30]

Otherwise a good starting point might be:

You shouldn't rely on this behaviour:

True
>>> len('a' * x) is x
False
(Your results may vary -- this depends on the implementation.)

This doesn't necessarily hold for all integers -- again, it depends on the
implementation, the precise version of Python, and other factors. Don't
rely on "is" giving the same results as "==".

False

No, you will never get two objects existing at the same time with the same
id. You will get two objects that exist at different times with the same
id, since ids may be reused when the object is deleted.
> PS: For those of you who don't know: keyword is compares object identities
Exactly. There is no guarantee that any specific integer object "1" must
be the same object as another integer object "1". It may be, but it isn't
guaranteed.
I think the only object that is guaranteed to hold for is None. None is a
singleton, so there is only ever one instance. Hence, you should test for
None with "obj is None" rather than ==, because some custom classes may do
silly things with __eq__:
class Blank(object):
"""Compares equal to anything false, including None."""
def __eq__(self, other):
return not other

It is a dangerous solution if your data is coming from an untrusted source.
>>> s = "10, 20, 30"

['10', '20', '30']

Most people share your opinion. Try this:

This is something that is amazingly easy to do in scheme, since the language is so simple, but is typically pretty difficult to do in other languages. I remember being blown away by how much I knew after reaching the end of SICP - I wanted to go out and write my own scheme compiler (and given the proliferation of scheme implementations, a lot of other people must have felt the same way). I don't remember getting to the end of a book on python and thinking, "that's easy. I could do that!" That said, I see now that the course we're talking about isn't the same as the old 6.001 course, and presumably has different pedagogical goals. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You don't need the strip()

I've seen code like this:

Re: PyParsing and Headaches
(This message has already been sent to the mailing-list, but I don't
have sure this is arriving well since it doesn't come up in the usenet,
so I'm posting it through here now.)
Chris,
Thanks for your quick answer. That changes a lot of stuff, and now I'm
able to do my parsing as I intended to.
Still, there's a remaining problem. By using Combine(), everything is
interpreted as a single token. Though what I need is that
'include_bool' and 'literal' be parsed as separated tokens, though
without a space in the middle...
Paul,
Thanks for your detailed explanation. One of the things I think is
missing from the documentation (or that I couldn't find easy) is the
kind of explanation you give about 'The Way of PyParsing'. For example,
It took me a while to understand that I could easily implement simple
recursions using OneOrMany(Group()). Or maybe things were out there and
I didn't searched enough...
Still, fwiw, congratulations for the library. PyParsing allowed me to
do in just a couple of hours, including learning about it's API (minus
this little inconvenient) what would have taken me a couple of days
with, for example, ANTLR (in fact, I've already put aside ANTLR more
than once in the past for a built-from-scratch parser).
Cheers,
Hugo Ferreira

socket.error connection refused
Hi, I'm not sure this is the proper forum but I try nevertheless. The problem I'am facing is that the socket library always fail to connect to an URL. The net effect is that I can not use setuptools. I'm using Python2.4 on a windows XPPRO Sp2 machine. The firewall is disabled. There is no NLTM proxy. I connect to the internet through a NAT server (and it works). Other than with easy_install I tried to connect to a number of external urls (all of them running) and even to localhost, directly in script using urllib and the error is always the same errno: 10061 connection refused.

Occasionally 'type(x) is list' is exactly what is needed, but much more likely it is a potential bug. It is more likely that what was intended was: isinstance(x, list) It is even more likely that the intention was that the object should have some list-like behaviour, in which case not doing a test at all is the correct behaviour; or quite often that the object should be list-like but not a string in which case testing the type against basestring would be correct. e.g.: if isinstance(x, basestring): x = [x] # ... now just assume x is a suitable sequence ... for element in x: ... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

A socket can't connect to a URL, a URL is an absolute location of an internet resource, eg hostname + (virtual) location on a server + page name.

I think the motivation behind suggesting an Apache solution was that you'd be able to migrate the PHP resources you already have running in Apache (I assume, since PHP can run in other places these days) to mod_python whilst staying within the Apache environment, rather than having to maintain a number of different environments at the same time. In other words, you'd write your replacement resources using WSGI (or whatever) on mod_python (for performance), CGI (for relative simplicity), or some other connection technology, and then it'd just be a matter of changing the various directives and having Apache figure it out. I know some people advocate proxying to a variety of backend servers, and the Web obviously lends itself to flexible architectures in this respect, but there are fairly good reasons for keeping the component count low.

Re: How do I find possible matches using regular expression?
OK, here's what I want...
I'm doing a auto-tasking tool in which user can specify the execution
rule by inputting English instead of a complex GUI interface(Normally a
combination of many controls). This way is way better user interaction.
So the problem comes down to "understanding" user input and
"suggesting" possible inputs when user is writing a rule.
Rules will be like "30 minutes later", "Next Monday", "Every 3 hours",
"3pm"...Sure this is an infinite collection, but it doesn't have to be
perfect , it might make mistakes given inputs like "10 minutes after
Every Monday noon".
The "suggesting" feature is even harder, I'm still investigating
possibilities.
Tried NLTK_Lite, I'm sure it can understands well a good user input,
but it is not doing good with some bad inputs("2 hours later here"),
bad inputs makes the toolkit fails to parse it. And NLTK also does not
help on the suggesting part.
Now I'm thinking manipulating regular expressions. I think it's
possible to come up with a collection of REs to understand basic
execution rules. And the question is again how to do suggestions with
the RE collection.
Any thoughts on this subject?
I'm not a native English speaker so...please, be mistake tolerant with
my post here:-)

Email headers and non-ASCII characters
Hello, everyone... I'm trying to send an email to people with non-ASCII characters in their names. A recpient's address may look like: "Jörg Nørgens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My example code: = def sendmail(sender, recipient, body, subject): message = MIMEText(body) message['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'iso-8859-1') message['From'] = Header(sender, 'iso-8859-1') message['To'] = Header(recipient, 'iso-8859-1') s = smtplib.SMTP() s.connect() s.sendmail(sender, recipient, message.as_string()) s.close() = However the Header() method encodes the whole expression in ISO-8859-1: =?iso-8859-1?q?=22J=C3=B6rg_N=C3=B8rgens=22_=3Cjoerg=40nowhere=3E?= However I had expected something like: "=?utf-8?q?J=C3=B6rg?= =?utf-8?q?_N=C3=B8rgens?=" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Of course my mail transfer agent is not happy with the first string although I see that Header() is just doing its job. I'm looking for a way though to encode just the non-ASCII parts like any mail client does. Does anyone have a recipe on how to do that? Or is there a method in the "email" module of the standard library that does what I need? Or should I split by regular expression to extract the email address beforehand? Or a list comprehension to just look for non-ASCII character and Header() them? Sounds dirty. Hints welcome. Regards Christoph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Are you absolutely sure that f list doesn't contain
any path to directory, not file?
Add this:
f = filter(os.path.isfile, f)
and try one more time.

non blocking "i o", The deep freeze.
Hi
Have a problem, Ill give some history to the problem and add a little
example code to start with
to see if anybody can help or if I am correct in what the problem is.
I have been looking on the newsgroups and have found lots of stuff on
the problem
but no solutions as of yet, will keep looking here to see if I can find
one that fits.
I created a script which runs a whole suite of regression tests, the
test exe which is
built daily, is created from c code, this changes from day to day as
stuff is added, and fixed, the exe is then used to run text files which
have lots of commands and data in, which produce lots of pretty
pictures on the screen, errors and warning output is also produced from
this, which I collect and create logs with. Up until recently I havn't
had any problems with my script, the main tests were run on a local
win32 machine with all the logs and test files all local, with
occasional runs on various different unix's and win64 platforms. We
have just recently had installed a big test and build rack full of
win32 (winxp) machines 3 of these are automated test machines which run
my script in a loop (it also builds the test exe and does one or two
other things), the test files are now held on a big central disk, which
was ment to save me coping data down from the network. The whole thing
works pretty well, a part from every so offen completely randomly the 3
machines seem to freeze (or to put in the terms of our sys admin it
trashes them).
The machines needs to be reset and the connection between the machines
and the big central disk is lost and needs to be reset as well.
According to the sys admin I need to be using, non blocking "i o" for
my file control, the code below shows what Im doing at the moment. Has
any one got any suggestions on what to do here, I kept everything
really simple so it would work across all platform and I thought I was
there,
but like with most things, its not and the code will probably get
really complex.
The code below is only a small snipet and I've made it simple for this
example but its the part I think where the freeze is happening.
output, input = popen2("cmd.exe")
input.write("set LI_DIR=" + MW_OPTS.GetOption("MainOpts","LI_DIR") +
"\n")
input.write("set LI\n")
# Writes commands to it.
input.write(mwtest_exe + mwtest_args + os.path.dirname(f_testlwc_str)
+ testlwc + "\n")
input.write("exit\n")
while 1:
text = output.readline()
if text:
OutputCount += 1
# Searches the line for errors, when found stops doing this.
f_Error_Code = FileLineQuickStat(text , f_Possible_Errs_dict ,
f_Error_Code)
# Records the line in a log.
LW_FLOG.WriteLogEntry("TEST_LOG",str(OutputCount),string.replace(text,"\n",""),1)
else:
LW_FLOG.FinishLog("TEST_LOG","")
# Returns the error code.
return f_Error_Code
break
TIA

and the use of a list comprehension is pretty silly to, given that you want
to apply the same *function* to all items, and don't really need to look
it up for every item:

Sorry, no joy. Printing f then produces:
rppp
rp
rp
rpppr
rp
rpppP
rp
rp
which I assure you are not the filenames in this directory.
I've tried this with f and f.name. The former prints the full pathname
and filename; the latter prints just the filename. But neither works
with the fileinput.input() call below.
I get the same error with the filtered mod as before:
File "./p", line 23, in ?
for line in fileinput.input(f, inplace=1, backup='.bak'):

Heya there,
Ok, found the solution. I just needed to use leaveWhiteSpace() in the

http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml contains some links to
introductions.
This command above boils down to:
l=ldap.initialize("ldap://myldaphost.mydomain.com";)
l.simple_bind_s("CN=ldapuser,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com","secret")
r = l.search_s(
"CN=ANYCOMPUTER,CN=Computers,DC=mydomain,DC=com",
ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, # this is the default of ldapsearch
"(objectClass=*)"
)
But you really should learn more about it by diving into:

Yes. As said, there is missing a __builtin__.Object
object is not an "empty class", but the base builtin-type:
>>> isinstance(int,object)
True
built-in type instances are basically read-only because if ...
>>> (1).spam=1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'spam'
>>>
..would work, that would be very strange.
Maybe in a mud place language like Ruby, where you can jam and scribble
everywhere in the system and in builtins, such things are possible.
I'd propose to add something trivial like
class Object(object):
def __init__(self,_d={},**kwargs):
kwargs.update(_d)
self.__dict__=kwargs
...
to Python. I use such empty (common) class since all time I can think of - and
frequently.
If there would be a common such Empty class in Python you'd have a lot of
advantanges. From ad-hoc instances, "OO-dicts" to reliable pickling of bunches
of variables etc.

One reasonable option is to use the .sort() method of a list:
Emails.sort(key = lambda s: list(reversed(s.split('@'
The "key" parameter specifies how to obtain a sort key from each element
in the source list.

Python business software?
Hello- My wife runs a sewing/embroidery business and has asked me to write a system to help her with her client database, inventory, and accounts receivable/payable. I've looked into using either PythonCard or Dabo (I like both packages) but thought I ask the list if there is anything like this out there already. Tasks such as tracking clients are fairly routine in business, so maybe there's something close that I could hack in order to add details specific to our business. We only have one computer right now, so we don't *need* a web-based system but we plan on growing so it would be an option.

Not quite. The empty tuple is cached:

True

() isn't [] or {}, though. time to switch to a bigger font? ;-)

Python work in UK
Hi, I'd love to work in Python, for the sake of my blood pressure, but there doesnt seem to be that many jobs that look for Python as the main skill. I use Python at work from time to time, and occasionaly get to spend several days on a Python project but the majority of the time I use C++. How can I make that leap to working with Python? There doesn't seem to be many UK positions on the jobs section of Python.org or the usual jobs sites. Any recommended jobs sites or tips? (I have googled) In the off chance that a potential empolyer is reading this, I'm looking for something in web development, applications, graphics or other interesting field.

Python 2.5 idle and print command How do I suppress a line feed?

Don't see it as a religious point please, but I fail to understand why
you seem so in love with old-style classes ? new-style classes are the
"official" Python object model since 2.2 (which is a few years ago now),
and the last mandatory use of them (exceptions...) disappeared with the
2.5. AFAIK, everything you do with old-style classes can be done with
new-style ones. FWIW, old-style classes support is now only for backward
compat. So *why* insisting on using them ?
wondering...

Or if you want to get rid of the space...
import sys
sys.stdout.write("texst")
sys.stdout.write("text2")
