Apparently:
-  Python is a 'nice' language even for 'experienced' beginners,
-  by making a Python 'translator', immediately gave access to 
  a mass of Geeks, who will mutually collaborate/compete
   to pump out a lot of usefull applications, which will boost the 
   demand for the Nokia hardware.

This 'Apple phenomenon' which gave rise not only to the micro-
computer [hence PC] industry but also the radio, and aviation
industry is a social 'mechanism' which is completely strange and 
NOT understandable by native Indians.

Pity, since the simputer's hardware concepts: especially low power
& 'card' making individual useage vs individual ownership; were
so on-target, that the founders couldn't have planted the seeds
[as Nokia is duing] in the 1st world, for an "Apple syndrome" to 
escalate.

I predict that Nokia's demand will escalate by this "Apple syndrome".
Let's see ?

PS. before investing time in Python, I wanted to find out if it 
can interface low-level, by eg. calling the OS or C...etc.
eg. could it call linux's "dd if=.." ?

Linux > python > file-I/O ?

[news]

I've just started to test/learn python.
I've got Linux > mandrake9 > python  & documentation.
What I'll initially want to be doing needs file I/O, so I
wanted to confirm file I/O early in my tests.

Following the examples :
>>> f=open('/tmp/workfile', 'w')
>>> print f
   <-- OK

But:
>>> f.read(size)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'size' is not defined  <-- ?? Obj-method unknown ??


What's wrong ?

I read:   "The set of such modules is a configuration 
option which also depends on the underlying platform."
My documenation refers also to Mac & Win installations.
Is there a linux > python NewsGroup ?

Wow ?!   I've only started looking at python but that sounds like very
dangerous programming !  Can you give an example.

BTW this topic relates to a recent point raised by the C man's
[I think Richie, dated ca. 1973] crit of Pascal. He said that
Pascal's restriction of not being able to declare globals, near
where they were needed, was bad.  And I thought so too, before I
considered that the programmer must KNOW that they are global.
Ie. the ability to declare them at a 'nice' place is just syntactic
sugar, hiding the reality the globals are bad, and have to be avoided
and respected.

IDE for Python ?

[news]

I'm getting realy tired of learning new languages.
And especially frustrated at the 'syntax errors' when switching
between them.

There are basically only a few common concepts needed for 
all the languages.   Hence linux's p2c: Pascal to C translator.

A good IDE could hide the irrelevant details of the syntax,
much like DOS/Norton-commander--Linux/mc hides the
details, and makes visual, the common actions on files:
move, copy, view ...edit ...search etc.

Besides, I guess Python itself would be good to make such
an IDE ?   Is there any such tool available/recomended ?

Pythonise this algorithm ?

Don't you hate the *.ps/*.pdf texts which are arranged in columns
as if it was a newspaper ? Especially when you want to email
a section after using 'pdftotxt'. 

I'm guessing that an algorithm to extract colums could work 
like this : [assume 2 column, but 3, 4.. should be similar, remember 
that the RHS-colm of pageN continues to the LHS-colm of pageN+1]

Initialise;
Repeat (* NextBlok or exit DO *)
BeginBloks:-
   Mark the TopLeftCorner -> get(StartRow,StartColm);
   Mark the BotmRightCorner -> get(EndRow,EndColm);
   Extract the Blok's text :-
For Row = StartRow to EndRow;
   For Colm = StartColm to EndColm
 PutCharToBufr;
  DoLineTerminator;
Until ExitBloks.

Obviously the nesting is: Bloks > Rows > Colms.

Then it can be morphed to clean up the "" in newsgroup

Iterating command switches from a data file - have a working solution but it seems inefficient

[News]

Hi everyone,

My goal is to pull command switches/options from a file and then assign
the values to select variables which would eventually be included in a
class object.

The data file looks something like this but the switches could be in any
order and not all may be used.

-m quemanager -s server -p port -k key -o object -c 20 -t [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, please keep in mind that the source code will have more than one
line in it and each has to be treaded separately.


In a first pass, I wrote the following code which works but there is
probably a better way of doing it.

Any ideas to make it more efficient/stream-lined would be greatly
appreciated.

#!/usr/bin/python

import string
inp = open("const.txt","r")
#
# Read File
#

while True:

#
# Get line from file
#
line=inp.readline()

#
# Check for EOF or break line up to extract relevant pieces
#
if len(line) == 0:
break
else:
split_line=line.split()
length=len(split_line)
count=0

#
# Evaluate list item and assign variable based on its contents
# Print statements are for debugging purposes only
#
for i in range(length):
if split_line[count] == "-m":
qmgr=split_line[count+1]
print "Queue Manager",qmgr;
elif split_line[count] == "-s":
server=split_line[count+1]
print "Server",server;
elif split_line[count] == "-p":
port=split_line[count+1]
print "Port",port;
elif split_line[count] == "-o":
object=split_line[count+1]
print "Object",object;
elif split_line[count] == "-k":
key=split_line[count+1]

I have.

In the interactive version of the code, I use:

#
# Parse command line options and automatically build help/usage
#
parser = OptionParser()

parser.add_option("-q", "--quiet",
action="store_false", dest="verbose", default=1,
help="don't print status messages to stdout")
parser.add_option("-m", dest="qmanager",
help="Queue Manager to inquire against")
parser.add_option("-s", dest="host",
help="Host the que manager resides on")
parser.add_option("-p", dest="port",
help="Port queue manager listens on"),
parser.add_option("-o", dest="object",
help="Queue object being inquired on"),
parser.add_option("-k", dest="key",
help="object attribute to be inquired about"),
parser.add_option("-t", type="string",dest="mto",
help="e-mail address the report will go to"),
parser.add_option("-d", action="store_false",dest="report",
help="optional switch - enabling this sends output
to e-mail")
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()


The module optparse seemed to be aimed at reading from commandline
versus pulling attributes from a read line.

Can't see the forest for the trees - when reading file, only processing first line

[News]

Hi Everyone,


The attached code creates client connections to websphere queue managers
and then processes an inquiry against them.

The program functions when it gets options from the command line.

It also works when pulling the options from a file.

My issue is that it only processes the first line of the file.

Does anyone know why this might be the case?

The use_file() function should be returning each file line.

Any help you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.

searching a large XML document based on three strategies:

1. (I think) elementree directly
2. Store entire XML document in ZODB (or Durus, can't remember)
3. Subclass Elementree.Element, store each XML node separately in the 
ZODB/Durus.

The experimenter then did timings on opening up and using the XML 
documents in each of these three ways.

Does anybody remember that post?  Does any body have a link, code, 
cache, anything?

Please reply to the list, as the email address is invalid.

Thanks,

E. List

RE: Pythonwin Install COM exceptions on Windows Vista Ultimate

[Sandipan News]

Here are some steps I used to finally successfully install Python and
Pythonwin on Vista Ultimate:

1. Uninstalled Python (could not see a way to uninstall Pythonwin)
2. Installed Python again (.MSI does not provide option to run as
Administrator)
3. Rebooted computer
4. Installed Pythonwin with right click option "Run as Administrator" - This
was different from the last time I installed this.

This time, no errors.

5. Started up a Python script from a directory using right-click | Open With

Earlier it was giving an error about not being able to locate win32ui.pyd.

I did not touch UAC or Router/Rooter/Firewall ... I did not know how to.

First, fix your source code (either removing the non-ascii character or  
adding an encoding line at the top, see  
) (PEP0263 is enforced from  
Python 2.5 and up; you got a warning on earlier versions).

os.getcwd() returns the current directory.
os.chdir() changes the current directory.
A shortcut on the desktop may use the desktop itself as the initial  
directory.
If you want to run your script from within the same directory as it  
resides, try this:
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(__file__))

Your understanding is rather shallow. However, my knowledge of history
is good enough to see the facts and put them in their proper
perspective. The  fundamentalist Islam is democratic by nature. (The
Coran itself gives rights to the non-moslem people and can be held up
by non-moslems to demand their rights.) We see that in Iran. There, a
commoner, Ahmadinejad has risen to be the leader by democratic voting.
The women are quite educated and as aggressive as the iranian males.
The videos and testimonials by the Rabbis of Neturei Karta who visited
Iran shows that the jews there live quite well. On the other hand,
here, the corporations decide who will get into the white house. The
wahhabi puppets in Saudi Arabia and the little estates on the
peninsula are dictators imposed by the Anglo-American forces. 911 was
staged to prevent a democratic revolution in Saudi Arabia as one of
its key objectives, and Osama was scapegoated to pre-empt a democratic
revolution like in Iran.

If you still insist on Iran as a theocracy, you might compare it with
Israel and think about how either treats its minority. Go to youtube
and google for neturei karta and find their videos about Iran.

A JEW hacker in California admits distributing malware that let him steal usernames and passwords for Paypal accounts.

A Jew hacker in California admits distributing malware that let him
steal usernames and passwords for Paypal accounts.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,139507-c,cybercrime/article.html

The Jews and Israelis the top notch WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS, YET, they
are harassing MOSLEMS in CALIFORNIA. Do you know why ? BECAUSE ALL THE
POLITICIANS ARE IN THEIR POCKET. Most senators and congressmen are the
same ASHKENAZI KHAZAR JEWS.
Tom Lantos and Diane Feinstein are two of the most crooked senators
from CALIFORNIA and both Ashkenazi and khazar.

LAPD to build data on Muslim areas

Anti-terrorism unit wants to identify sites 'at risk' for extremism.
By Richard Winton, Jean-Paul Renaud and Paul Pringle, Los Angeles
Times Staff Writers
November 9, 2007
An extensive mapping program launched by the LAPD's anti-terrorism
bureau to identify Muslim enclaves across the city sparked outrage
Thursday from some Islamic groups and civil libertarians, who
denounced the effort as an exercise in racial and religious profiling.

Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing, who
heads the bureau, defended the undertaking as a way to help Muslim
communities avoid the influence of those who would radicalize Islamic
residents and advocate "violent, ideologically-based extremism."

"We are seeking to identify at-risk communities," Downing said in an
interview Thursday evening. "We are looking for communities and
enclaves based on risk factors that are likely to become
isolated. . . . We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and
Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities."

Downing added that the Muslim Public Affairs Council has embraced the
vaguely defined program "in concept." The group's executive director,
Salam Al-Marayati, said Thursday that it wanted to know more about the
plan and had a meeting set with the LAPD next week.

"We will work with the LAPD and give them input, while at the same
time making sure that people's civil liberties are protected," said Al-
Marayati, who commended Downing for being "very forthright in his
engagement with the Muslim community."

Others condemned the project, however.

"We certainly reject this idea completely," said Shakeel Syed,
executive director of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern
California. "This stems basically from this presumption that there is
homogenized Muslim terrorism that exists among us."

Syed said he is a member of Police Chief William J. Bratton's forum of
religious advisors, but had not been told of the community mapping
program. "This came as a jolt to me," Syed said.

Hussam Ayloush, who leads the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations, said the mapping "basically turns the LAPD
officers into religious political analysts, while their role is to
fight crime and enforce the laws."

During Oct. 30 testimony before Congress, Downing described the
program broadly as an attempt to "mitigate radicalization." At that
time, he said law enforcement agencies nationwide faced "a vicious,
amorphous and unfamiliar adversary on our land."

Downing and other law enforcement officials said police agencies
around the world are dealing with radical Muslim groups that are
isolated from the larger community, making potential breeding groups
for terrorism. He cited terror cells in Europe as well as the case of
some Muslim extremists in New Jersey arrested in May for allegedly
planning to bomb Ft. Dix.

"We want to map the locations of these closed, vulnerable communities,
and in partnership with these communities . . . help [weave] these
enclaves into the fabric of the larger society," he said in his
testimony.

"To do this, we need to go into the community and get to know peoples'
names," he said. "We need to walk into homes, neighborhoods, mosques
and businesses."

To assemble the mapping data, Downing said in an interview Thursday,
the LAPD intends to enlist USC's Center for Risk and Economic Analysis
of Terrorism Events, which was founded four years ago with $12 million
in federal funds.

In 2003, university officials said the center would focus on threats
to power plants, telecommunications and transportation systems.

It recently was tapped to strengthen security at Los Angeles
International Airport.

Downing said the effort would not involve spying on neighborhoods. He
said it would identify groups, not individuals.

"This has nothing to do with intelligence," he said, comparing it to
market research.

But in his congressional testimony, Downing said the LAPD hoped to
identify communities that "may be susceptible to violent,
ideologically-based extremism and then use a full-spectrum a

Listen to Mr Benjamin Freedman's speech on google. He calls the
ASHKENAZI KHAZARS by the label "the so called jews". Jew is not a
religion anymore. The Khazars dont practice the Torah. According to
Neturei Karta, they are now only a race, a power group or zionists. We
will still use the word jew because it is pithy, but we mean by it
zionists as the Neturei Karta say or "the so called jews" as Mr
Benjamin Freedman says.

Having clarified that, it is quite clear that the MISCHIEFER, John
Schiefer, 26 of LOS ANGELES who pleaded guilty is a KHAZAR, ASHKENAZI.
That is his race and we bring it out only because according to the 911
truth research, the event was a controlled demolition. Explosives were
used and the whole ownership and security of the building was in the
hands of the non-islamics. Larry Silverstein is an ASHKENAZI KHAZAR
jew.

Professor Steven Jones has found the residue of thermate in the dust
of the buildings. KMnO4 residue, ie high amounts of SULFUR, potassium,
manganese, and the iron dust particles are SPHERICAL. Which means that
they saw a very high temperature above the melting point.

You can lie as much as you want. The physics and the circumstantial
evidence cannot hide your lie.

The anthrax mailer was NOT an Islamic.

Otherwise the FBI must produce the criminal with out ANY ambiguity.

Also, what about the 5 dancing ISRAELIS and the VAN WITH EXPLOSIVES on
the WASHINGTON BRIDGE. Show us the ARABS who were in the VAN. They
were Israelis trying to blow  up the George Washington Bridge, and put
the blame on ARABS.

The police caught these people. I have great respect for the POLICE
who do their jobs honestly.

A Jew hacker in California admits distributing malware that let him
steal usernames and passwords for Paypal accounts.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,139507-c,cybercrime/article.html

The Jews and Israelis the top notch WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS, YET, they
are harassing MOSLEMS in CALIFORNIA. Do you know why ? BECAUSE ALL THE
POLITICIANS ARE IN THEIR POCKET. Most senators and congressmen are the
same ASHKENAZI KHAZAR JEWS.
Tom Lantos and Diane Feinstein are two of the most crooked senators
from CALIFORNIA and both Ashkenazi and khazar.

LAPD to build data on Muslim areas

Anti-terrorism unit wants to identify sites 'at risk' for extremism.
By Richard Winton, Jean-Paul Renaud and Paul Pringle, Los Angeles
Times Staff Writers
November 9, 2007
An extensive mapping program launched by the LAPD's anti-terrorism
bureau to identify Muslim enclaves across the city sparked outrage
Thursday from some Islamic groups and civil libertarians, who
denounced the effort as an exercise in racial and religious profiling.

Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing, who
heads the bureau, defended the undertaking as a way to help Muslim
communities avoid the influence of those who would radicalize Islamic
residents and advocate "violent, ideologically-based extremism."

"We are seeking to identify at-risk communities," Downing said in an
interview Thursday evening. "We are looking for communities and
enclaves based on risk factors that are likely to become
isolated. . . . We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and
Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities."

Downing added that the Muslim Public Affairs Council has embraced the
vaguely defined program "in concept." The group's executive director,
Salam Al-Marayati, said Thursday that it wanted to know more about the
plan and had a meeting set with the LAPD next week.

"We will work with the LAPD and give them input, while at the same
time making sure that people's civil liberties are protected," said
Al-
Marayati, who commended Downing for being "very forthright in his
engagement with the Muslim community."

Others condemned the project, however.

"We certainly reject this idea completely," said Shakeel Syed,
executive director of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern
California. "This stems basically from this presumption that there is
homogenized Muslim terrorism that exists among us."

Syed said he is a member of Police Chief William J. Bratton's forum of
religious advisors, but had not been told of the community mapping
program. "This came as a jolt to me," Syed said.

Hussam Ayloush, who leads the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations, said the mapping "basically turns the LAPD
officers into religious political analysts, while their role is to
fight crime and enforce the laws."

During Oct. 30 testimony before Congress, Downing described the
program broadly as an attempt to "mitigate radicalization." At that
time, he said law enforcement agencies nationwide faced "a vicious,
amorphous and unfamiliar adversary on our land."

Downing and other law enforcement officials said police agencies
around the world are dealing with radical Muslim groups that are
isolated from the larger community, making potential breeding groups
for terrorism. He cited terror cells in Europe as well as the case of
some Muslim extremists in New Jersey arrested in May for allegedly
planning to bomb Ft. Dix.

"We want to map the locations of these closed, vulnerable communities,
and in partnership with these communities . . . help [weave] these
enclaves into the fabric of the larger society," he said in his
testimony.

"To do this, we need to go into the community and get to know peoples'
names," he said. "We need to walk into homes, neighborhoods, mosques
and businesses."

To assemble the mapping data, Downing said in an interview Thursday,
the LAPD intends to enlist USC's Center for Risk and Economic Analysis
of Terrorism Events, which was founded four years ago with $12 million
in federal funds.

In 2003, university officials said the center would focus on threats
to power plants, telecommunications and transportation systems.

It recently was tapped to strengthen security at Los Angeles
International Airport.

Downing said the effort would not involve spying on neighborhoods. He
said it would identify groups, not individuals.

"This has nothing to do with intelligence," he said, comparing it to
market res

Quite obviously, your vulgar diatribe is that of a loser in an
argument. If you watch the Osama video, its been shown CLEARLY by many
researchers that the video is fake and the BIOMETRICS of the person in
the video DO NOT MATCH the biometrics of Osama.

Second, who admitted it ? Under torture you will admit anything. It is
possible that a foolish patsy could have made a plan aided by his
handlers. But the fact is that the towers were brought down by
explosives and thermate cutter charges. The pools of molten metals and
the atoms of KMnO4 and Sulfur did not get there in such high
quantities from nowhere.

Someone had to get into those buildings to the support columns in
numerous places and plant those explosives and thermate cutter
charges.

Someone had to disable the NORAD command to allow the show of planes
hitting the towers to finish and same for the pentagon.

Someone had to get access to the military grade anthrax to mail it in
fake letters to Senator Patrick Leahy.

Your arguments are pathetically weak and the whole newsgroups are
watching your defeat including Mr Robin Fairbairns.

Re: boolean decisions

[news-noreply]

Statestep (which includes Python code generation) might
be something to look at.
It's designed to help the user create simplified rules
to begin with rather than derive them post hoc (it's
really for much bigger problems where enumerating
individual rules like you've done would be impractical)
...
However, if you start with an "exploded" set of atomic
rules like you now have, you could create simplified
rules yourself, progressively deleting the rules you are
replacing (identified as overlaps by Statestep); this
way, at least the tool is checking the correctness of
the transformation from individual to simplified rules
(if you make a mistake then a conflict will be reported
rather than an overlap).

Re: diffing and uniqing directories

[telus news]

Just so happens that I am partially finished a gui file backup app. I have 
many backup CDs and I wanted to consolidate them. You know, all image files 
in one dir, all install files in another dir, etc. My app scans the input 
dir tree and displays all file extensions that it finds. You can then remove 
any extensions that you don't want backed-up, and you can toggle to exclude 
the listed extensions. It also calculates min/max file sizes that you can 
adjust.


Then the next page allows you to adjust the sub-dir depth with a slider, 
which displays the total number of files and total amount of memory they 
will take, for each sub-dir depth. You can also choose to enable versioning, 
whether or not to put all files into one dir or create a dir for each file 
type (extension), whether or not to actually backup the files, to write all 
input pathnames and/or output pathnames to a file. Of course, it won't 
backup a dir tree as a copy, it can only flatten a dir tree, so if you 
backup a development source dir, all files will get put into the same dir 
and that wouldn't be good.


I've also used py2exe to make it a drag-n-drop install. What do you think?

ctypes question

[News Wombat]

Hi everyone,

I've been experimenting with the ctypes module and think it's great.
I'm hitting a few snags though with seg faults.  I attached two links
that holds the code.  The line i'm having problems with is this,

sn=clibsmi.smiGetNextNode(pointer(sno),SMI_NODEKIND_ANY)

It will work one time, and if I call it again with the result of the
previous, even though the result (a c struct) looks ok, it will
segfault.  I think it's a problem with pointers or maybe the function
in the c library trying to change a string that python won't let it
change.  I'm stuck, any tips would be appreciated.  Thanks, and Merry
Christmas!

I tried the cfuntype and proto steps, and it's not crashing now
(that's good), but now i'm just left with null pointers as a return
object.  I'm still working through all of the examples you sent.  They
were extremely helpful.  Here's where I'm at now...

What is strange is I can actually get smiGetNode to work if I don't
cfunctype/proto it.  If i do, nada.  however, the smiGetNextNode fails
no matter what, usually with a segfault, but depending on how i
construct it, sometimes a null pointer.

directory listing

[SU News Server]

I've struggled with this for quite a while and I'm am just not sure 
what is going on. I have the following code
import os

def buildList( directory='/Users/mkonrad' )

dirs = [ ]

listing = os.listdir(directory)

   for x in listing:
  if os.path.isdir(x):
dirs.append(x)

return dirs

This always returns an empty list.
Now if I change it so that directory='.' or directory=os.getcwd()
Then it returns a list of directories. 

Any ideas?

Thank you,
-Michael

logging SMTPHandler and Authentication

[james . p . news]

I'm new to Python, but I've been thrown into coding a pretty
complicated regression testing script.  I need to email the log of the
daily test to the code owners.  I thought I could use SMTPHandler for
this, but our email system requires authentication.  I have not been
able to figure out how to log in using SMTPHandler.  I found the
following post on comp.lang.python:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/ef873c79157b8624/cdb67687e507c974?lnk=gst&q=SMTPHandler+authentication&rnum=1#cdb67687e507c974

However, I haven't been able to translate this to anything I can use.
I've also looked at the source code for the SMTPHandler, but I don't
want to edit that.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

Thanks much,
James

As already mentioned, (n)curses is a good solution.
However, if you need/want to go to lower levels, you can read
/dev/input/event* like this (excerpt from one of my programs):

def opendevs():
return [os.open(dev, os.O_RDONLY) for dev in glob.glob("/dev/input/event*")]

def readevent(fds):
try:
# file descriptor has disappeared - we unplugged the keyboard,
# resumed from suspend etc...
ps = [os.read(fd, 16) for fd in fds]
except OSError:
traceback.print_exc()
yield None, None, None
for p in ps:
timeval, suseconds, typ, code, value = struct.unpack( 'llHHI', p[:16])
yield typ, value, code

def run_print(fds):
while 1:
rs, ws, xs = select.select(fds, [], [])
for t, v, e in readevent(rs):
print "Event code:", e, "type:", t, "value:", v

fds = opendevs()
run_print(fds)


This is of course not portable at all (and won't run on ancient
Linuces), but the advantage is that you can hook to the keys or key
combinations curses cannot (e.g. modifiers, Scrolllock etc...) and the
program can react to the key events even in the background.

utalk (long since disappeared from the surface of the internet) did have
such an implementation, and I once wrote a half-cooked python
implementation of its semi-reliable protocol over UDP.

Nowadays, I'd recommend using openvpn, or perhaps investigate the
possibility of PPP over UDP, or maybe look into SCTP.

Maybe because using 8859-2 locale, (unicode) strings not representable in the

Including the (correct) ASCII table has been a long term, low priority -
I am using ascii(1) utility reasonably often and it makes sense to
reproduce this functionality.

And when implementing this, it was a no-brainer to include also the
brexit varian (verbatim). After all, given the blood and sweat and tears
shed during the negotiations, I am sure each and every line of the
Agreement has been combed and (re)negotiated over and over by experienced
negotiators and verified an army of experts in the fields

I would use karrigell. Everyone is speaking about twisted, snakeletes

Do not use pyro, use simple UDP protocol. 
I've written networked tetris in python, communicating via
UDP protocol, and used it successfully on very congested lines.
If all you need is to transfer pointer coordinates, UDP is perfect since
you do not need feedback.

use something like this for server:

import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind(('', port))
while 1:
data, addr = s.recvfrom(1024)
print `data`


and for client:

import socket

outsock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
outsock.bind(('', 0))
outsock.sendto('message', ('server-hostname', server_port))

see the Net() class. I recommend you to use the same number for myport
and otherport (you can with UDP, and it makes traversing firewalls
easier)

just the socket.socket documentation, and generally for UDP protocol, 
see e.g. http://www-net.cs.umass.edu/kurose/transport/UDP.html

Using it is very simple, on one computer, you send a (short) string,
and on the other computer you receive the string (or it might be lost on
the way). For your situation, I'd recommend to implement some sort of
time constrain - e.g. if user moves cursor very fast, ensure that the
coordinates are not transmitted with higher frequency that 50 Hz (or
something). And combine the coordinates into one packet - it always
helps to reduce the number of packets.

get a list of mounted filesystems under MacOSX

[garabik-news-2005-05]

Hi all,
I am trying to port my (linux) program to MacOSX, and I need to get a
list of mounted filesystems. Under linux, it was easy, I was parsing
/etc/mtab (or /proc/mounts), this works also on some other unices.
But I have no idea how to do it on MacOSX, apart from calling "mount" as
an external program and parsing the output - but I prefer "cleaner"
solutions. Is there one?

And when we are at this, how to find out a list of mounted filesystems
under MS Windows? (yes, I know, there is a difference between cygwin
python and native port, and the term "mounted" is not used in MS Windows
world much)

because the filesystem could be mounted elsewhere (in fact, the Mac Mini

I am now writing a moderately complex application using karrigell.
It has a very shallow learning curve, if you know python and html, you
can start writing an application right away, but yet it is rather
versatile, and the author is responding.

ipk files are basically in two flavours, one of them is a plain tar.gz
file, use tar xvzj to upnack it
the second is an ar archive, use ar x to unpack it
(you mentioned cygwin - assuming you are working under MS windows,
either use the cygwin commands, or try to open the ipk with winzip or

once unpacked, you find data.tar.gz inside containing all the necessary
binary files, and control.tar.gz containing some information and
installation scripts (in most cases, you can ignore them)

ANN: polynice 0.7 - a nice(1) like utility for throttling processes

[garabik-news-2005-05]

polynice is a nice(1)-like command line utility for unix systems to
throttle long running processes beyond what can be achieved by nice(1),
by repeatedly suspending and resuming the process.

It is written for python3, though there is some python2.7 compatibility.

Author:

Notable changes:
* This is the first public release under the name `polynice' - the
  utility has been renamed from `verynice' due to name clash with an
  existing software.
* polynice can now emulate timeout(1) - terminate process after given
  time has passed
* MacOS X improvements
* better python2 compatiblity

Believe or not, python3 (via Guido's time machine) already anticipated 
this suggestion and you can indeed use a symbol instead of 'self':

class MyClass(object):

   def __init__(ስ):
   ስ.dummy = None

ANN: unicode 2

[garabik-news-2005-05]

unicode is a simple python command line utility that displays
properties for a given unicode character, or searches
unicode database for a given name.

It was written with Linux in mind, but should work almost everywhere
(including MS Windows and MacOSX), UTF-8 console is recommended.

It has correct charset header indicating ISO-8859-1 encoding, so yes, it

You did not tell us what OS are you using, but in case of Unix, it all
goes up and down with locale - you can transparently pass around text
data as long as the characters are in the repertoire of your locale - of
course, as long as the applications are locale-aware - many older ones
are not. (It is best to use UTF-8 encoding, so that all the more or less
obscure characters can be represented)

If you have Windows, it depends on programs working with old 8-bit ANSI
API, or new unicode API. If the programs use unicode API, you can
without problems pass data around, if they use 8-bit API, you are
restricted to the characters from your system codepage.

latin-1 is not enough for proper French (lack of œ). It is not even
enough for English, it lacks proper typographic quotes and so on.

> Apparently it does not :-)

Well, it would be enough for your example, "désormais considéré"
does indeed fit into latin-1. But python complains about character \x8e,
which indeed does not belong to latin-1. Without knowing your OS and
your locale (or ANSI codepage), we cannot tell how it got there.

jEdit is written in Java, right? Java has a good internal unicode
support, so if your OS allowed it, pasting from WWW browser worked since
the browser had to new the encoding (in order to display it properly).

utf-8, obviously. Unless you have a strong reason not to do so, use
utf-8 exclusively - you never know what strange character can appear
(even in plain English), and you working and tested application will
start crashing when it gets to the real worls.

So, use # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-, but MAKE SURE jEdit is configured to
save the file in utf-8 encoding (not knowing jEdit, I cannot tell you
how to achieve this, but jEdit's www page claims that jEdit does support
utf-8).

Then there is a little problem with python stdout trying to convert
unicode strings into system default encoding and failing if it cannot be
done, but let's leave this for the moment :-)

Otherwise, displaying simple graphics and text in pygame is trivial - 
but it is not the right way if you need a GUI.

python encoding bug?

[garabik-news-2005-05]

I was playing with python encodings and noticed this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python2.4
Python 2.4 (#2, Dec  3 2004, 17:59:05)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> unicode('\x9d', 'iso8859_1')
u'\x9d'
>>>

U+009D is NOT a valid unicode character (it is not even a iso8859_1
valid character)

The same happens if I use 'latin-1' instead of 'iso8859_1'.

This caught me by surprise, since I was doing some heuristics guessing 
string encodings, and 'iso8859_1' gave no errors even if the input
encoding was different.

Is this a known behaviour, or I discovered a terrible unknown bug in python 
encoding
implementation that should be immediately reported and fixed? :-)


happy new year,

depends on what exactly you need
one approach is pyenca

the other is:

def try_encoding(s, encodings):
"try to guess the encoding of string s, testing encodings given in second 
parameter"

for enc in encodings:
try:
test = unicode(s, enc)
return enc
except UnicodeDecodeError:
pass

return None

print try_encodings(text, ['ascii', 'utf-8', 'iso8859_1', 'cp1252', 'macroman']


depending on what language and encodings you expects the text to be in,
the first or second approach is better

I pasted from a wrong file :-)
See my previous posting (a few days ago) - what I did was to implement
iso8859_1_ncc encoding (iso8859_1 without control codes) and
the line should have been 
try_encodings(text, ['ascii', 'utf-8', 'iso8859_1_ncc', 'cp1252', 'macroman']

where iso8859_1_ncc.py is the same as iso8859_1.py from python
distribution, with this line different:

decoding_map = codecs.make_identity_dict(range(32, 128)+range(128+32,256))

if the dictionary is small and speed not important, you can wrap it 
in a class catching __getitem__ and __setitem__ and testing
if repr(self) changes.

You should probably check out X11 misc-fixed family of fonts.
They have free license and are designed from the begining as bitmaps,
which means they are more readable at small sizes (since they were
designed to be displayed at fixed sizes). They are monospaced, which
might be an advantage or not.

finished = False
while not finished:
  before = time.time()
  do(x) # sets finished if all was computed
  after = time.time()
  delta = after-before
  time.sleep(delta*10/3.)

now the trick: do(x) can be a single piece of code, with strategically placed 
yield's
all over

there might be three reasons:
1) less power consumed (notebooks, PDA's)
2) less heat from CPU
3) (cross platform) scheduling of low priority tasks (e.g. all my
background tasks are already running with lowest priority since I do not
want them to influence my desktop in any way, but still I want some of them to 
be
of higher priority)

generally, modern OS'es do not provide any ways to schedule tasks with
such constrains, which makes the question perfectly legitimate

I do not like to write about vapourware, but anyway I am writing a
new simple wiki/forum in python (using Karrigell framework), the main
reason being that it needs some specialties not present in any other
wiki. Anyway, I am going to put some notes about what my wiki _will_ have.

by section you mean section in text, or section as "a group of wiki
pages" ?
The first one is easily done, due to pluggable formatters.

possible, with some limitations (internaly, the sections are 
represented as separate pages, each with separate set of access rights,
they are just rendered as one document)

more or less - storage is directly on filesystem, only if you need a
full-text search you need a database (e.g. sqlite).

You need Karrigell, though.

Import, how to change sys.path on Windows, and module naming?

[Jeremy Nicoll - news posts]

If I understand correctly, when I import something under Windows, Python
searches the directory that the executing script was loaded from, then other
directories as specified in "sys.path".

I assume there are standard locations inside my installed Python - in my
case inside:  C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25  - where I could put my
modules and they'd automatically be found?  But even if that's the norm, I
don't want to put my own modules in such directories, partly because a
uninstall or reinstall or upgrade of Python might lose my stuff, and partly
because I don't believe in mixing distributed code with home-grown code. 

However I'm quite happy to have a line or three of code to alter  sys.path 
to suit my set-up, if that's a normal way to handle this problem.  Where
does one do that?


Also, I presume that there's a risk that the module name that I give to any
of my utilities will clash with a present or future standard module's name.
Does that mean that I should give my own modules names like "JNfoo" rather
than "foo", etc?  Or something like "JNutils.foo"?

Sorry to followup my own question, but I ran

 for p,q in enumerate(sys.path): print p, q

and got:

0 C:\Documents and Settings\Laptop\My Documents\JN_PythonPgms
1 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\Lib\idlelib
2 C:\WINDOWS\system32\python25.zip
3 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\DLLs
4 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\lib
5 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\lib\plat-win
6 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\lib\lib-tk
7 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25
8 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\lib\site-packages
9 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32
10 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32\lib
11 C:\Program Files\~P-folder\Python25\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin

Does every Windows user have: 2 C:\WINDOWS\system32\python25.zip
in their sys.path?  What's the point of having a zip in the path?

Also, looking in  C:\WINDOWS\system32\   I don't actually have a file called
python25.zip, but I do have one called  python25.dll - so has something gone
wrong in creation of sys.path?

dictzip (python implementation part of my serpento package)
you have to compress the file with dictzip, instead of gzip, though
(but dictzipped file is just a special way of organizing the gzip file,
so it remains perfectly compatible with gunzip&comp.)

Standard TCP connection, forwarded via stunnel or ssh, Should be no brainer if 
the
COBOL side is running on a reasonably modern unix.

that was a mistake I made once.
Do not use iso8859-1 as python codec, instead create your own codec
called e.g. iso8859-1-ncc like this (just a sketch):

decoding_map = codecs.make_identity_dict(range(32, 128)+range(128+32, 256))
decoding_map.update({})
encoding_map = codecs.make_encoding_map(decoding_map)

and then use :

def try_encoding(s, encodings):
"try to guess the encoding of string s, testing encodings given in second 
parameter"

for enc in encodings:
try:
test = unicode(s, enc)
return enc
except UnicodeDecodeError, r:
pass

return None


guessed_unicode_text = try_encodings(text, ['utf-8', 'iso8859-1-ncc', 'cp1252', 
'macroman'])


it seems to work surprisingly well, if you know approximately the
language(s) the text is expected to be in (e.g. replace cp1252 with
cp1250, iso8859-1-ncc with iso8859-2-ncc for central european languages)

you can either use fuse and its python bindings - this is rather trivial
filesystem-wise, of course there are challenges in order to implement
encryption effectively and efficiently (this is what encfs or phonebook
do, but they are written in C)

Or implement encrypted  network block device in python - again, this
should not be _that_ hard.

Or implement either nfs or samba server with transparent encrypted
storage - this is what (again in C) cfs does. If you go the samba way,
it would be even cross-platform - but I have no idea how difficult it
would be to implement a samba server in python.

In all the cases, performance is going to be THE issue.

Depends on your exact needs - dbm or shelve might be enough, especially for 
read only access.

Or, if you prefer the bash shell to be replaced with the python, just type:
