Okay, it looks like I read your first answer not thorough enough.

So if the application's directory is always searched then the issue 
should be reproducible with any native (non-Cygwin) Windows 
interpreter:

"""
tcc> \PortableApps\TCC_RT\tcc.exe /c run-TEST.btm
unset PATH
tcc.exe /c ver
TCC: C:\Documents\batch\run-TEST.btm [2]  Unbekannter Befehl 
"tcc.exe"
"""

So TCC can't find itself with an empty PATH. That's how Python 
(subprocess) should also work.

If it works like cmd.exe, then it does its own search using %Path% and
%PathExt%. For example:

C:\>cmd /c "set "PATH=" & cmd"
'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

But why should subprocess.Popen implement its own search like the
shell instead of relying on CreateProcess to search for the
executable? You'd have to come up with an argument to convince the
devs to change the behavior in 3.7.

aware network applications as well as certificate management tools:

https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl/

OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol:

http://www.openssl.org/


NEWS

This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes the
following updates:

New in OpenSSL
--

 * Switched the included OpenSSL libraries to 1.0.2j.

The OpenSSL 1.0.2 branch will receive long term support (LTS), so
is an ideal basis for development. See
https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20160926.txt for a complete
list of security fixes in 1.0.2j. The following fixes are relevant
for pyOpenSSL applications:

- CVE-2016-6304 A malicious client can send an excessively large
  OCSP Status Request extension leading to a DoS attack.

- CVE-2016-6306 Some missing message length checks can result in
  OOB reads, which could be used for DoS attacks.

 * Updated the Mozilla CA root bundle to the current version as of
2016-11-10.

Please see the product changelog for the full set of changes.

My goal is to verify that other shells/interpreters on Windows work 
the same way as Python when running an application or creating a sub-
process. Cmd does not. What's else there? I have Bash here but that's 
a Cygwin executable. And Cygwin Python does not work like Windows 
Python.

Any ideas?

update certain key-value pairs of a dict from another dict

2016-11-11 Thread Daiyue Weng
Hi, I have two dicts, e.g.

dict1 = {'A': 'a', 'B': 'b', 'C': 'c'}
dict2 = {'A': 'aa', 'B': 'bb', 'C': 'cc'}

I am wondering how to update dict1 using dict2 that

only keys 'A' and 'B' of dict1 are udpated. It will result in

dict1 = {'A': 'aa', 'B': 'bb', 'C': 'c'}

PowerShell uses its own search:

C:\>powershell -c "$Env:Path=''; powershell"
powershell : The term 'powershell' is not recognized as the name of
a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the
path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:15
+ $Env:Path=''; powershell
+   ~~
+ CategoryInfo  : ObjectNotFound: (powershell:String) [],
  CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

These shells implement their own search because they use %PathExt% to
broaden the search and then call ShellExecuteEx to be able to
execute/open files that CreateProcess cannot. The only file extension
that CreateProcess tries to append is .EXE.

Since subprocess.Popen doesn't call ShellExecuteEx, it would make no
sense for it to use a custom search that tries appending all of the
file extensions in %PathExt%. Thus the only case for Popen to
implement its own search is to avoid the implicit directories that
CreateProcess searches ahead of %Path%. But implicitly searching the
application directory and system directories ahead of %Path% is a
feature for Windows applications, and Python is primarily an
application development language on Windows -- not a system
administration language that takes the place of the shell.

Is there a Python.exe in the Registry "App Paths". Either of these:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

An "App Paths" key would be used by ShellExecuteEx, not CreateProcess,
so it has no bearing on the behavior of subprocess.Popen with
shell=False.

Use dict1's .update() method:

>>> dict1 = {'A': 'a', 'B': 'b', 'C': 'c'}
>>> dict2 = {'A': 'aa', 'B': 'bb', 'C': 'cc'}
>>> desired = {'A', 'B'}

{'C': 'c', 'B': 'bb', 'A': 'aa'}


or do it manually

Reporting a Bug

2016-11-11 Thread Vidyalakshmi Rao
Hi,

System Specification:

2.7.7 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Jun 11 2014, 10:40:02) [MSC
v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]


*Issue: Spyder hangs in instances while iterating over a list containing
rows with nothing in it.*


for eachinfo in range(len(textlist)): #remove non-ASCII characters from
the textlist
textlist[eachinfo] = re.sub(r'[^\x00-\x7F]+','', textlist[eachinfo])

This results in a list *textlist*, which contains some rows with nothing in
it. When such a list is iterated over (as below), Spyder hangs indefinitely.

for item in textlist:
print item

While debugging through Spyder (Ctrl+F5), it hangs indefinitely. But, if we
just run(F5), executes without a glitch.
Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug? Is it related to Spyder?
I am a novice to Python. Please direct me if this is not a Python issue but
an Anaconda issue.

Thanks,
Vidya.

If desired is "small" compared to the dicts:

>>> for k in desired & dict1.keys() & dict2.keys():
... dict1[k] = dict2[k]
... 
>>> dict1
{'A': 'aa', 'C': 'c', 'B': 'bb'}

The same using update(), with a generator expression that avoids the 
intermediate dict:

>>> dict1 = {'A': 'a', 'B': 'b', 'C': 'c'}
>>> dict1.update((k, dict2[k]) for k in desired & dict1.keys() & 
dict2.keys())
>>> dict1
{'A': 'aa', 'C': 'c', 'B': 'bb'}

As written this will add no new keys to dict1. If you want to allow new keys 
use 

desired & dict2.keys()

as the set of keys.

Due to backwards compatibility this is unlikely to change.  However, if you can

that deals with it.

See https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2016-November/043620.html

Why keys method does not work with MutableMapping?

I have a class that completely implements MutableMapping, meaning that all

returns the keys, but simply a repr of the instance.  Example is below.
Same is true for the items method.

It would seem that, if all the abstract methods have been implemented, the

Nope, that's exactly right.  That's the python3 behavior.

>>> d = {'a': 1, 'b':2}
>>> d.keys()
dict_keys(['b', 'a'])

Keys returns a dedicated keys object now, not just a list.  That thing
you got back isn't a repr string; it's the actual object.  If it were a
string it'd be quoted.

Try list(md.keys()).

Huh.  Handy to file that new knowledge away.  I'd not realized it
could take a 2-tuple iterable, but my previous example would then be
more cleanly written as

  dict1.update((k,v) for k,v in dict.items() if k in desired)

But yes, certainly a couple edge cases depending on the dict
sizes, the size of the "desired" set, and what should happen in the
event dict2 (or "desired") has keys that dict1 doesn't.

Try running IDLE from a command prompt by entering the following command:

If this prints an error, please provide the entire error message

using 3.5.2, I recommend upgrading.  It is very easy.)



used to work and at some point it just didn't react.


That means that something changed on your system, but what?  Since you 
re-installed 'the program', by which I presume you mean python3.5, the 
Python and IDLE files should not be the problem.  I would otherwise 
suggest the user config files, usually in directory 
C:/Users//.idlerc/, where  is the account name.  But 
since you tried both an admin and user account, that seems unlikey.



Try running IDLE from a command prompt by entering the following command:

py -3.5-32 -m idlelib

If this prints an error, please provide the entire error message
(copy/paste), including the complete traceback. Do not attach a
screenshot; we won't get it. python-list is text only.


Definitely do this.  A third possibility is that you saved a file with 
the same name as an stdlib file in a place where it gets imported by 
IDLE instead of the stdlib module.  An error message should give a hint.

Python String Handling

2016-11-11 Thread subhabangalore
I have a string 
"Hello my name is Richard"

I have a list of words as,
['Hello/Hi','my','name','is','Richard/P']

I want to identify the match of 'Hello' and 'Richard'
in list, and replace them with 'Hello/Hi" and 'Richard/P'
respectively.

The result should look like,
"Hello/Hi my name is Richard/P".

Simple replace method may not work.

I was trying the following script. 


import fuzzywuzzy
from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
from fuzzywuzzy import process
import itertools
def sometry():
 x1="Hello my name is Richard"
 x2=x1.split()
 x3=['Hello/Hi','my','name','is','Richard/P']
 list1=[]
 for i in x2:
  x4=process.extractOne(i, x3)
  print x4
  x5=x4[0]
  print x5
  x6=[x5 if x==i else x for x in x2]
  print x6
  list1.append(x6)

 b1=list1
 print b1
 merged = list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(b1))
 merged1=list(set(merged))
 print merged1

I am working in Python2.x on MS-Windows. 
This is a simple practice script so I have not followed style guides.
Apology for any indentation error.

I am trying if any one of the members may give any idea how may I achieve it.

Thanks in Advance.

Why would simple replace not work? I.e. what's wrong with this?

s = '"Hello my name is Richard"'
s.replace("Hello", "Hello/Hi").replace("Richard", "Richard/P")

I mean maybe you can't use that, but if you can't use that, then I'm 
probably not understanding your question.


Cheers,

There's supposed to be a space after "py". Let's add the .exe
extension to make this clearer:

py.exe -3.5-32 -m idlelib

And please do not paraphrase error messages. Copy and paste errors
verbatim. Also, make sure to reply-all to include python-list.

The general answer is: Publish it with full metadata on PyPI. That's
where the Python community looks to find third-party modules, so that's
the place to put it.

Beyond that? You'll need to know whom you want to promote *to*. Find out
where they get their information, and participate respectfully in those
forums.

Looks like you want:


mystring = "Hello my name is Richard"
words = ['Hello/Hi', 'my', 'name', 'is', 'Richard/P']
result = " ".join(words)

assert result == "Hello/Hi my name is Richard/P"


and mystring is irrelevant.
