Re: pySQLite Insert speed
Steve, I think you were right the first time is saying > it should really be this: > sqlxb= 'INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)' my copy.copy() has the equivalent effect. Running this test code produces the output below import copy print 'Test 1' pf= '?,?,?,?' sqlx1= 'INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( %s ) ' % pf print sqlx1 print print 'Test 2' sqlx2= copy.copy(sqlx1) sqlx3= sqlx1 pf= '?,?,?, ' sqlx1= 'INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( %s ) ' % pf print 'sqlx1= ', sqlx1 print 'sqlx2= ', sqlx2 print 'sqlx3= ', sqlx2 == output Test group 1 INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?,? ) Test group 2 sqlx1= INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?, ) sqlx2= INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?,? ) sqlx3= INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?,? ) I interpret this to mean that sqlx1 is not a simple string -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: pySQLite Insert speed
Oops I did make a mistake. The code I wanted to test should have been import copy print 'Test 1' pf= '?,?,?,?' sqlx1= 'INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( %s ) ' % pf print sqlx1 print print 'Test 2' sqlx2= copy.copy(sqlx1) sqlx3= sqlx1 pf= '?,?,?, ' print 'sqlx1= ', sqlx1 print 'sqlx2= ', sqlx2 print 'sqlx3= ', sqlx2 and the results would == output Test group 1 INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?,? ) Test group 2 sqlx1= INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?,? ) sqlx2= INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?,? ) sqlx3= INSERT INTO DTABLE2 VALUES ( ?,?,?,? ) Such that sqlx1 does to change with the re-assignment of 'pf' And of course immutables such as strings are immutable.

undo a dictionary
I found code to undo a dictionary association.
def undict(dd, name_space=globals()):
for key, value in dd.items():
exec "%s = %s" % (key, repr(value)) in name_space
So if i run
>>> dx= { 'a':1, 'b': 'B'}
>>> undict(dx)
I get
>>> print A, B
1 B
Here, a=1 and b='B'
This works well enough for simple tasks and I understand the role of
globals() as the default names space, but creating local variables is
a problem. Also having no output arguemtns to undict() seems
counterintuitive. Also, the function fails if the key has spaces or
operand characters (-,$,/,%). Finally I know I will have cases where
not clearing (del(a,b)) each key-value pair might create problems in a
loop.
So I wonder if anyone has more elegant code to do the task that is
basically the opposite of creating a dictionary from a set of
globally assigned variables. And for that matter a way to create a
dictionary from a set of variables (local or global). Note I am not
simply doing and undoing dict(zip(keys,values))

My desire is to take a set of data items in an alpha-numeric range and
oput them into a dictionary
i.e.,
x1=1
x2=20
x3=33
to yield the dictionary
{ 'x1':1, 'x2':20, 'x3':33 }
without having to type in as above but instead invoke a function
maybe with syntax of
dd=make_dict('x1--x99')

But I got an error with 'for name, value in vars():'
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
I think globals() has the same problem, but globals.items() works. I
will need to read the docs to learn why '.items()' works but the
changing global dictionary problem makes sense. I assume I need to
use a non dynamic created list.
Sometimes I get the error about 'too many variables to unpack' (can
not consistently repeat the error however)
In any event, thanks for the suggestions, everyone.
Using a blank class for unpacking the dictionary makes the most sense,
for safety sake.
So you know the general issue is I want to switch between using
dictionaries for storing data items and simple variable names for
writing equations/formulas, So (a) and (b) below are preferred to (c)
for readability
(a) straight forward equation
y = b0 + b1*Age + b2*Size
(b) Class version
y = b0 + b1*x.Age + b2*x.Size
(c) Dictionary version
y = b0 + b1*dd.get('Age') + b2*dd.get('Size')

SMTP via GMAIL
After reading about and using the smtplib module, I thought code such as below would ignore the 'Cc: ' body line below when sending messages and instead simply use the RECEIVERS list session = smtplib.SMTP(SMTPserver,port) session.set_debuglevel(1) session.ehlo(SMTPuser) # say hello session.starttls() # TLS needed session.ehlo(SMTPuser) # say hello again session.login(SMTPuser, pw) FROM=SENDER RECEIVERS= (TO,CC) BODY= MakeBody(FROM,TO,CC,SUBJECT,MESSAGE) SMTPresult = session.sendmail(SENDER, RECEIVERS, BODY) Here the MakeBody() creates text like below From: FROM To: TO Cc: CC Subject: SUBJECT MESSAGE But when using smtp.gmail.com as the server I learned that any @gmail.com address in the Cc: text block would receive mail even if I changed the code to have the RECEIVERS list to ignore the CC addresses or not include the gmail address in the CC list as below RECEIVERS= (TO,) BODY= MakeBody(FROM,TO,CC,subject,message) SMTPresult = session.sendmail(SENDER, RECEIVERS, BODY) Other @zzz.com CC addresses need to be in the RECEIVERS list however. Also the gmail server changes the 'From: ' text to be the same as SENDER even if this is modified (a case not using FROM=SENDER. I found other servers send mail that displays the BODY specified From: address. Is this gmail specific or a quirk of the smtplib functions? I understand how Google might not want to send mail with FROM not = SENDER, but the CC behavior baffles me. And does anyone have a general routine that lets one also have Bcc: addresses usign SMTP? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If true, that is incorrect behavior. I ran some more tests and now I am pretty sure session.sendmail(SENDER, RECEIVERS, BODY) is only sending to the RECEIVERS list, ignoring the Cc: field in the body (as it should) What fooled me is that I was using my own gmail account (i.e., [EMAIL PROTECTED]) as a Cc: field and not putting it in the RECEIVERS list. It seems Gmail creates two links (or copies?) to the message: (1) as it is stored in the SENT box (as it should since the message was sent by my gmail account) and (2) another in my INBOX because the mail reading software reads the Cc: field. Other smtp servers such as comcast do not create the stored SENT mail and hence behave different in terms of how they treat Cc: fields of the same account ([EMAIL PROTECTED] in this case). Most important, using another gmail account (not [EMAIL PROTECTED]) as a Cc: field does not create another sent message (outside of what is in the RECEIVERS field). Sorry for confusion, and I do appreciate the tips as I now see how almost anything To:, Cc:, Bcc: combination can be handled by a proper RECEIVERS list. Below is python code that can be used by anyone that wants to test what I did (just fill in the SMTPuser and password variables) and then check you gmail inbox import sys, os, glob, datetime, time import smtplib ## Parameters for SMTP session port=587 SMTPserver= 'smtp.gmail.com' SMTPuser= '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' pw= 'fill in here' SENDER= SMTPuser ## Message details FROM= SENDER TO= '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' CC=FROM ##RECEIVERS= (TO, CC) ##proper way to send to both TO and CC RECEIVERS= (TO,) ## ignore the CC address subject= 'Test 1a' message='*** Email test *** ' print 'Starting SMTP mail session on %s as %s ' % (SMTPserver,SMTPuser) session = smtplib.SMTP(SMTPserver,port) session.set_debuglevel(0) # set debug level to 1 to see details session.ehlo(SMTPuser) # say hello session.starttls() # TLS needed session.ehlo(SMTPuser) # say hello again, not sure why session.login(SMTPuser, pw) ##Create HEADER + MESSAGE HEADER= 'From: %s\r\n' % FROM HEADER= HEADER + 'To: %s\r\n' % TO HEADER= HEADER + 'Cc: %s\r\n' % CC HEADER= HEADER + 'Subject: %s\r\n' % subject BODY= HEADER + '\r\n' + message print BODY SMTPresult = session.sendmail(SENDER, RECEIVERS, BODY) ## send email session.close() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Creating arithmetic sequences
I wrote the code below to create simple arithmetic sequences that are iter-able I.e., this would basically combine the NUMPY arange(start,end,step) to range(start,end), with step not necessarily an integer. The code below is in its simplest form and I want to generalize the sequence types (multiplicative, cumulative, gauss ...), but first I need the simple SEQA( ) function to be more robust. The problem is the three test code functions produces different results based on step. I understand why steps such as 0.1 have rounding and machine math issues, and before I try to solve this I thought it was worth asking if this problem has been solved (so I do not re-invent the wheel). Another way to put my question, is there a PYTHON function that emulates SEQA() in APTECH’s GAUSS language and produces iterable lists ? Note I originally wrote the three versions below see which is fastest, but each is fast enough such that I care more about robustness now. ## Python arithmetic sequence implimentation ## MDB April 16 2008 from numpy import array, arange, floor import time # simple arithmetic sequence def seqa1(start,end,step=1): n= floor( (end-start) / float(step) ) x= [start,] for i in xrange(0,n): x.append(x[-1]+step) return x ##faster seq creation def seqa2(start,end,step=1): n= floor( (end-start) / float(step) ) x= [ start+i*step for i in xrange(0,n) ] return x ##fastest seq creation as array, also allow array --> different type def seqa3(start,end,step=1.0,type=array): x=arange(start,end,step) if type==array: pass elif type==list or type==None or type=='' : x=list(x) elif type==tuple: x=tuple(x) elif type==dict: x= dict(zip(range(1,len(x)),tuple(x))) elif type==set: x= set(x) return x if (1): start=1 end=2 step= 0.10 t0=time.time() x1=seqa1(start,end,step) print 'SEQA1 Time= ', time.time()-t0 t0=time.time() x2=seqa2(start,end+step,step) print 'SEQA2 Time= ', time.time()-t0 print 'Check for X1,X2 equivalence-- ', (x1==x2) t0=time.time() x3=seqa3(start,end+step,step,list) print 'SEQA3 Time= ', time.time()-t0 print 'Check for X2,X3 equivalence-- ', (x2==x3) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
DTD validation and xmlproc
I found Python code to validate a XML document basd on DTD file layout. The code uses the 'xmlproc' package and these module loading steps from xml.parsers.xmlproc import xmlproc from xml.parsers.xmlproc import xmlval from xml.parsers.xmlproc import xmldtd Unfortunately, the xml package no longer seems to hold the xmlproc module. As a standalone the xmlproc module seems to be no longer maintained and was subsumed in PyXML a few years ago and that package is no longer maintained (as best I can tell, or maybe was subsumed in the base Python 2.x packages) My problem is I can not get the old xmlproc package files that i did find to work with Python 2.5. I am willing to learn and use new xml procedures, but I found nothng pre-written to validate agaisnt a given DTD file.

Python IDEs with F5 or hotkey shell interaction
I am looking for advice on Python Editors and IDEs I have read other posts and threads on the subject and my two questions at this time are mainly about the IDLE-like F5-run facilities. While I am fairly happy using IDLE, the debugger is unintuitive to me and I wanted a project manager and a better variable/ class browser and also the potential to edit/run other languages such as R and Tex/Latex. Windows and LINUX compatibility is desired too. I found numerous editor candidates from reading posts to this Python users group list and also documents such as http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors but few if any alternatives seem to have all of the ‘interactive’ power of IDLE—- not only a run program in a python shell hotkey but a persistent, after-a-run memory state can be accessed for interactive coding and exploration-- i.e. how IDLE works ! *** My first questions is what other editor/IDE have IDLE-like interactive features. Or to put it another way, is my appraisal below of the editors & IDEs I tried right (note some where looked at as much as a year ago). Python specific IDLEF5 run & Full shell interaction PythonWin F5 run & Full shell interaction, MS Windows only PyScripter F9 run & shell interaction, but script created variables are not persistent (???!) PyPEF5 run, but not an interactive shell DrPythonF5 run, but not an interactive shell in MS Windows (maybe in Linux) SPE (Stani) Could not get it to run in MS Windows (???!) PyScripter, PyPe and drPython all had nice features but interaction quirks. My second question is based on a belief that I should move to a more general IDE or editor to get LINUX compatibility and the ability to also edit R and LaTex programs. I have explored these Vim Cream/Vim UliPad SciTe Jext Editra Komodo Editor But none are close to being as interactive friendly as IDLE. I might look at Eclypse with pydev Jedit And these commercial/professional IDEs Wing Komodo IDE Zeus But before doing so I wanted to know form experienced users: ** How hard is it to configure any of the general editors/IDEs to run a Python shell using a hotkey (such as IDLEs F5) and whether any can be set up for full interactivity. I understand and appreciate the difficulties to get full IDLE-like interactivity, but what comes closest? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
