command line utility for cups
Dear all,
I am having trouble with argparse. I am trying to translate the following line
to a sleek python
script:
lpr -o media=legal -o sides=two-sided-long-edge filename
Now where I am.
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Print stuff with cups')
parser.add_argument('--printer', '-p',
help='Use this printer, try running: lpstat -a')
parser.add_argument('--options', '-o',
help='Options for this printer, try running: \
lpoptions -p PRINTER -l')
parser.parse_known_args(['-o', 'sides=one-sided', '-o', 'test=crap'])

How should I deal with multiple options being fed into my script?
Thanks!

[OT] Bit twiddling homework
Dear Python-List,
an old dog wants to learn some new tricks.
Due to my contact with microcontrollers, I am learning C/C++. I am aware that
this is the
endearing, helpful, yet chatty python-list. Many of you are competent
C-programmers.
The allure of C is that I can play directly with memory.
For example, bitwise operators are neat (here a shift):
C:
int res = 1 << 4
printf("%d\n", res)
16
Translates to pseudocrap:
0001 -> leftwards bitshift of 4 places -> 0001
I think that is pretty neat. After having imbibed the some of the computational
basis for binary
digits (X₂) a few weeks ago, I learned yesterday about hexadecimals (X₁₆).
While in the rabbit
hole, I learned about Claude Shannon's and Alan Turing's work on digital logic.
I am excited to
learn about what kind of computations I can do in these number systems.
Therefore, what book or learning course do you recommend? I imagine something
that tours or skims
the fundamentals of Boolean algebra and digital logic, and then goes to C and
some fun homework
problems. It may seem to you that the emphasis there is wrongly placed.
Thank you for the tips.
Cheers,
Brian

Of course. There was a reason I chose those integers and timed them. I am
ignorant of how Python stores an integer internally. Either way (2^x bit) the
result would be the same regardless.
In retrospect, I seem to suggest that Python would have different sets of
operations for an integer based on it's value; that's poor wording. Anyways.

Thank you for the advice. Those are also some nice examples. Cool, I can do
this stuff in Python. I guess this is also why Python is so popular; an
instructor can take one language and cover a ton of material without having to
saddle students with learning another language.

Re: What is not working with my "map" usage?
Hi Viet,
map applies the function to each of the elements of the list you provide.
It would be roughly equivalent to:
[add_all_elements(x) for x in alist]
It may help you to consider the term and function "map" from the view of linear
algebra.
Apparently it's a common term:

You don't have to start from scratch. You don't to do anything other than learn to use anamnesis. I use anamnesis as my clipboard manager. I you can easily tell to get which ever one you want (i.e. the thousandth item). # Inform yourself https://sourceforge.net/projects/anamnesis/ # Install it cd ~/bin/src/ wget -O anamnesis.tar.gz https://sourceforge.net/projects/anamnesis/files/latest/download tar xzf anamnesis.tar.gz ln -sf ~/bin/src/anamnesis-1.0.4/source/anamnesis.py ~/bin/anamnesis # Be happy It hasn't changed in years and that's just fine. I just works. I can access it through the command line when I am in a remote ssh session. Or I have it as a autostarted daemon. It uses sqlite to store all your copied (and selected, if configured) text, which can be slow on a spinning disk. If this turns you off, replace your OS hard drive with an ssd - life's too short.

Hello there,
I am not an IDLE user. You may try a startup script from python, as per the
following.

Hi Bev
The idea is to put that script in the project folder.
You could begin your lecture with an introduction to the import system and
command line. The script needs to reside in the desired directory. Once that is
the case you would import it:
import path.to.script.sans.py.ending
It may be to much to ask of students. It's easiest to put that script in the
project folder. You know have everthing in the same place, where students can
copy that directory, take it whereever there is python installed, run that
script, and pick up where they left off.
If you want to control where the directory changes to do this:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
os.chdir('path/to/project/directory')
That is brittle though. What if the student don't all have access to that
directory? What if they fail to put the project directory in the right place?
What if the network drives are down and you end up working locally?
You could send them a zip-file of everything including my first suggestion and
it would just work.

the error message is somewhat clear. You need to add a key-value pair to
a dictionary. You may consider changing 'res' to a 'list'. You then need
to 'append'.
Either way, 'find_value' will return the filename regardless of whether
the value is present or not. That should get you started.

From the Matlab doc: ' intout = bitshift(A,k) intout = bitshift(A,k,assumedtype) Description example intout = bitshift(A,k) returns A shifted to the left by k bits, equivalent to multiplying by 2k. Negative values of k correspond to shifting bits right or dividing by 2|k| and rounding to the nearest integer towards negative infinity. Any overflow bits are truncated.

I think that's a good decision. Most of the conversation applies to sysadmins
concerned with answering your question in absolute terms. When you start
writing scripts which are restricted to a specific environment and are intended
to be distributed, you may revisit this thread.
Be blissful until then :). Chris et al have "fixed" things for you.
