Python 3 syntax error question
I've tried to install PySVG in a Python 3 setting, and I get a few errors on the build. Most are easy to fix, but this one I can't explain or fix: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "builders.py", line 12, in from pysvg.shape import * File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pysvg\shape.py", line 91 def moveToPoint(self,(x,y)): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax The moveToPoint method occurs three times in the file, with identical signatures. The other two are not showing up as errors, though since they occur later in the file, that may not be indicative. I don't see anything erroneous in this line. The syntax error often comes from the previous line, but I've moved this method around and it has always failed on this line and no other, regardless of what went before. I'm new to Py3, so maybe there's some obvious thing I'm not seeing here. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- rzed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes, I am aware of the version difference, but not of all the implications of that. I will run this through 2to3, but even without doing that, there are only about four syntax errors, and the others were obvious and easily corrected. There does not seem to be a Py3 version of this package. I was hoping to try it to see what broke. Well, I found out at least part of that, didn't I? I was not aware of the removal of tuple-unpacking. I expect there was some extensive conversation about that.

Python Bluetooth
Hi all, I'm looking for developing a bluetooth application in python, and I'm looking for the most suitable python library for it. Googling some time I found pyBluez (http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/), however, the library seems to be stopped since end 2009 (latest update Nov 2009) and not to many work since then. Is there any other library? Has anybody any advice about it? For me, the key is to develop in bluetooth, so I'm flexible in programming language, although I'd like to go on python.

can I package a distutil based python app in deb?
Hello all, I guess the subject line says it all. I want to package a python app to deb. I have 3 interesting issues with it. 1, I would want it to run on Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 11.04 and Debian 5. 2, the package depends on another python package which is also distutil based. 3, The second package needs to run in a virtual environment. This means that I not only have to figure out the dependencies but also have the deb to include a script to get the virtual environment script, then create one for the package, then download all dependencies (Pylons 0.9.7 in this case along with report lab) and finally put the package into this virtual environment. Is this all possible? Happy hacking. Krishnakant. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Because foo (by default, initially) points to a given list, every time the function is called, it uses the same list that foo was first pointed to, if the default argument value is taken. The way to fix this is to instead do - def a(foo=None): if foo is None: foo = [] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

windows 7 create directory with read write execute permission for everybody
Hi, What do I have to do under python windows to create a directory with all permissions, such, that new files / directories created below will inherit the permissions.

Alternatively it would be even better to specify exactly which users should be allowed to access the directory tree. I never used / modified Windows file permissions except once or twice via explorer. I'm thus a little shaky with Microsoft's file permissions.

Do you see this "Learn about access control and permissions" link when you're in the security tab? Just click on it. Thorsten -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi! +1 Gelonida confuses "Windows permissions" and "NTFS's rights". (too) Many Windows users are unfamiliar with Windows. @-salutations -- Michel Claveau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Windows file permissions haven't changed since 1995. The only addition was dynamic inheritance support back in 2000. > I expect, that the win32 libraries might have function calls allowing > to control the permissions of a directory, but I am really bad with > win32 as I worked mostly with Linux or code, that was platform > independent, which Windows file permission handling is not :-( . Even Linux file systems have ACL support. It's only that few people use it since application support is sparse. And it lacks (dynamic) inheritance which is so 1980s.

Is there any other library? blueman is written in python and works fine with latest bluez lib. It uses dbus for interaction with bluez, you can try using their wrapper for your own app. -- With best regards, Daniel Kluev -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
