image lib supports arbitrary canvas coordinate

[oyster]

Can any image(not for line plot, but for pixel set) lib behaves like a
person? that is to say:
when we are doing image processing( for exapmle,
http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=20057&p=176300#p176300)
, the new image maybe have a bigger canvas size than the original
image's, and sometimes, nagative coordinate is needed from the
math-side viewpoint, Of cause, we can do which by pre-caculating the
proper canvas size, coordinate translation in code, but that is
tedious
Any lib can support some code like followings? thanks

[psedu-code]
newImg=Image.new('RGB', (200,300))   #begin with a canvas
size=200*300, so the x is between[0, 199], y is between [0, 299]
newImg.putpixel((500, 600), 'black')   #the lib expands the canvas
automatically, so till now the canvas size=501* 601
newImage.save('fin.jpg', border=(top=10, bottom=20, left=30,
right=40)) #size of fin.jpg is
(501+30+40)*(601+10+20)

what is the difference between one-line-operation and 2-line-operation

[oyster]

for a simple code
[code]
vexList = [1, 2, 3]
print('vexList', list(vexList))

vexList=map(lambda e: e+1, vexList)
print('vexList', list(vexList))

vexList = list(vexList)
print('vexList', list(vexList))

vexList=map(lambda e: e*2,vexList)
print('vexList', list(vexList))
[/code]


py27 says
[quote]
('vexList', [1, 2, 3])
('vexList', [2, 3, 4])
('vexList', [2, 3, 4])
('vexList', [4, 6, 8])
[/quote]

but py34 says
[quote]
vexList [1, 2, 3]
vexList [2, 3, 4]
vexList []
vexList []
[/quote]

if I change the above code in to one line
[code]
vexList = [1, 2, 3]
print('vexList', list(vexList))

vexList=list(map(lambda e: e+1, vexList))
print('vexList', list(vexList))


vexList=map(lambda e: e*2,vexList)
print('vexList', list(vexList))
[/code]

then py27 and py34 get same verList
[quote]
('vexList', [1, 2, 3])
('vexList', [2, 3, 4])
('vexList', [4, 6, 8])
[/quote]

I found 'filter' function behaves likely

I found
type(map(lambda e: e, vexList))  is  in py2
type(map(lambda e: e, vexList)) is  in py3

so, what produces this difference between py2 and py3 in nature? is
there more examples? where can I find the text abiut his difference?

why same ctypes code runs on win7, but not on win10?

[oyster]

The attachment is a very simple code that uses the DLL from
https://github.com/ying32/govcl to create a GUI application. The code
runs on my python 3.6.10 64 bits with win7 64 bits, but failed on my
python 3.6.10 64 bits and python 3.7.5 with win10 64 bits, by saying
following message. What is the problem? Thanks.
```

question on callback functions with ctypes

[oyster]

question on callback functions with ctypes

I try to use GoVCL( https://github.com/ying32/govcl ) in python via
ctypes. GoVCL supplies C header and simple C demo under
https://github.com/ying32/govcl/tree/master/Tools/makeCHeader/test

Now the simple python code can run on both win7 and win10 according to
Eryk Sun's suggestion - thank you Eryk Sun. But I am still puzzled by
2 questions

1. the callback function does not been invoked, so there must be
something wrong when I deal with it. However, I can't figure it out.

2. in the original main.c, there is no need to call
`vcl.SetEventCallback(doEventCallbackProc)`. But I learn this in a
python code that uses cffi to call GoVCL. How can I make the python
code as simple as the C code?

Thanks

any lib to convert 3200+ pic to animated gif?

[oyster]

I want to make an animated GIF from 3200+ png
I searched and found http://code.google.com/p/visvis/source/browse/#hg/vvmovie
and I wrote:
[code]
allPic=glob.glob('*.png')
allPic.sort()
allPic=[Image.open(i) for i in allPic]
writeGif('lala3.gif',allPic, duration=0.5, dither=0)
[/code]

However I got
[quote]
allPic=[Image.open(i) for i in allPic]
  File "e:\prg\py\python-2.7.3\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line
1952, in open
fp = __builtin__.open(fp, "rb")

real usable file/directory operation module?

[oyster]

there is shutil module, but I find it limits the user heavily. For
example, I want to move 2 directories "a/scene" and "c/scene" to "d",
but there is "scene" under d already. Then shutil.move will raise
Error, "Destination path '%s' already exists" % real_dst

So is there any module, which allow me move/copy like Windows does.
for example
useableShutil.move('a/scene', 'd', overwite=True)

how? Py extension does not depend on py version

[oyster]

I found an extension on this blog
http://www.cnblogs.com/DxSoft/archive/2011/04/08/2009132.html

or you can download the extension directly from
http://files.cnblogs.com/DxSoft/PyFetion.rar

I found that I can do "from DxVcl import *" in py 2.5/2.6/2.7. When I try
this in py24, a msgbox says "no python25.dll is found". However "Dependency
Walker" shows that DxVcl does not has the python??.dll dependency. Is this
a dark side of python which is not in official python doc?

So, to the end, My question is: how can I write such an extension(i.e. not
DLL foe ctypes) in C/C++?

Thanks

how to split this kind of text into sections

[oyster]

I have a long text, which should be splitted into some sections, where
all sections have a pattern like following with different KEY. And the /n/r
can not be used to split

I don't know whether this can be done easily, for example by using RE module

[demo text starts]
a line we do not need
I am section axax
I am section bbb, we can find that the first 2 lines of this section all
startswith 'I am section'
.(and here goes many other text)...
let's continue to
 let's continue, yeah
 .(and here goes many other text)...
I am using python
I am using perl
 .(and here goes many other text)...
[demo text ends]

the above text should be splitted as a LIST with 3 items, and I also need
to know the KEY for LIST is ['I am section', 'let's continue', 'I am
using']:
lst=[
 '''I am section axax
I am section bbb, we can find that the first 2 lines of this section all
startswith 'I am section'
.(and here goes many other text)...''',

'''let's continue to
 let's continue, yeah
 .(and here goes many other text)...''',


'''I am using python
I am using perl
 .(and here goes many other text)...'''
]

I hope I have state myself clear.

Re: how to split this kind of text into sections

[oyster]

First of all, thank you all for your answers. I received python
mail-list in a daily digest, so it is not easy for me to quote your
mail separately.

I will try to explain my situation to my best, but English is not my
native language, I don't know whether I can make it clear at last.

Every SECTION starts with 2 special lines; these 2 lines is special
because they have some same characters (the length is not const for
different section) at the beginning; these same characters is called
the KEY for this section. For every 2 neighbor sections, they have
different KEYs.

After these 2 special lines, some paragraph is followed. Paragraph
does not have any KEYs.

So, a section = 2 special lines with KEYs at the beginning + some
paragraph without KEYs

However there maybe some paragraph before the first section, which I
do not need and want to drop it

I need a method to split the whole text into SECTIONs and to know all the KEYs

I have tried to solve this problem via re module, but failed. Maybe I
can make you understand me clearly by showing the regular expression
object
reobj = 
re.compile(r"(?P[^\r\n]*?)[^\r\n]*?\r\n(?P=bookname)[^\r\n]*?\r\n.*?",
re.DOTALL)
which can get the first 2 lines of a section, but fail to get the rest
of a section which does not have any KEYs at the begin. The hard part
for me is to express "paragraph does not have KEYs".

Even I can get the first 2 line, I think regular expression is
expensive for my text.

That is all. I hope get some more suggestions. Thanks.

[demo text starts]
a line we do not need
I am section axax
I am section bbb
(and here goes many other text)...

let's continue to
let's continue, yeah
.(and here goes many other text)...

I am using python
I am using perl
.(and here goes many other text)...

Programming is hard
Programming is easy
How do you thing?
I do’t know
[demo text ends]

the above text should be splited to a LIST with 4 items, and I also
need to know the KEY for LIST is ['I am section ', 'let's continue',

trap the Newwindow2 event on wxPython with IE ActiveX

[oyster]

Hi, everyone. I work on windows os and want to write a IE based webbrowser.  For I find that the only method which can handle most of the HTML standard is to embed IE object, I want to change demo\wxIEHtmlWin.py (from old wxPython) into a kind of multi-tab webbrowser( like greenbrowser, maxthon). Now the question is: how can I deal with the NewWindow2 Event? How can I get the url when a new window is to be created, and display this webpage in my app other than a new IE? That is to say:

    self.ie = wxPython.iewin.wxIEHtmlWin(self, -1)    wxPython.iewin.EVT MSHTML NEWWINDOW2(self, -1, self.OnNewWindow2)
 def OnNewWindow2(self, evt):    #how to program here?
The artilce on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q184876/ describes "How To Use the WebBrowser Control NewWindow2 Event" in VB as
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow2(ppDisp As Object,   Cancel As Boolean)   Dim frmWB As Form1   Set frmWB = New Form1
   frmWB.WebBrowser1.RegisterAsBrowser = TRUE
   Set ppDisp = frmWB.WebBrowser1.Object   frmWB.Visible = TrueEnd Sub
Since except "self", OnNewWindow2 only need one extra parameter other that 2, I donno how to change this code into python one? 
Because I know almost nothing about VB and ActiveX, can somebody give me a ready-to-run simple demo or demo based demo\wxIEHtmlWin.py?
Thanx in adavance.

some OT: how to solve this kind of problem in our program?

[oyster]

1. first of all, what is the English jargon (Optimize? But I think
this is not a very good keyword :( )for this problem? So I can use it
to search on the internet
2. is there any free/open lib for this?
3. I know for some questions(case 1, case 2, and sudoku), we can use
bundles of "FOR...NEXT" loop to program. however I think it is clumsy
and inconvenient, especially when there is many vars
4. I don't know how to deal with case 3 and case 4


case:
1. choose x0~x9 from 1~9, and must use all of 1~9, let
x0/(10*x1+x2)+x3/(10*x4+x5)+x6/(10*x7+x8)=1/2

2. choose x0~x15 from 1~16, and must use all of 1~16, let
+-+-+-+-+
|  x0 |  x1 |  x2 |  x3 |
+-+-+-+-+
|  x4 |  x5 |  x6 |  x7 |
+-+-+-+-+
|  x8 |  x9 | x10 | x11 |
+-+-+-+-+
| x12 | x13 | x14 | x15 |
+-+-+-+-+

sum of every column =sum of of every row
= x0+x5+x10+x11 =x3+x6+x9+x12

3: calculate the minimum of
sin((z*x-0.5)^2 + x*2*y^2-z/10)*exp(-((x-0.5-exp(-y+z))^2 + y^2-z/5+3))
where x in [-1,7], y in [-2,2]

4: calculate the root [x,y,z], let
(x-0.3)^y^z+x/y/z-x*y*sin(z)+(x+y-z)^cos(x-1) = 1
(y-0.2)^z^x+y/z/x-y*z*sin(x)+(y+z-x)^cos(y-2) = 2
(z-0.1)^x^y+z/x/y-z*x*sin(y)+(z+x-y)^cos(z-3) = 3

how to get the native DC value in Tkinter/wxPython for drawing?

[oyster]

I am porting www.rmchart.com to python, now the code is almost
finished, and I have supplied some examples.py which write to
picturefiles directly, but the example to draw the chart on GUI stops
me.

that is the vb declaration
nResult (LONG) = RMC_CreateChartOnDC(
ByVal nParentDC (LONG),
ByVal nCtrlId (LONG),
ByVal nX (LONG),
ByVal nY (LONG),
ByVal nWidth (LONG),
ByVal nHeight (LONG),
)
nParentDC (LONG) is Device context, on which the chart shall be painted

If I pass DC=ctypes.windll.user32.GetDC(0) to it, the chart is shown
on the windows, but I don't know how to get the DC in wxPython. It
seems that self.GetHandle() in wxPython does not help.

Can anyone help me?

ANN: pyRMChart 0.0.1 is released

[oyster]

1. What is it?
  pyRMChart is an interface to DLL-verison
RMChart(http://rmchart.com), which is a free, lightweight and elegant
chart creator

2. Dependency?
  Python + ctypes

3. How to install?
  a) you should install RMChart and make sure it works. On
win2k/me/98, maybe you have to get a copy of gdiplus.dll
  b) copy directory [pyrmchart] and all contents to a directory that
in your python's sys.path, eg, python\Lib\site-packages\
  c) put rmchart.dll and gdiplus.dll either a directory in your
environment PATH or just directory [pyrmchart]

4. How to use?
  Just read rmchart.chm and check the demos under pyrmchart\demo\,
most of them are the Python peer to the *.rmc file in RMChart.
  Please note, some of the demos needs csv/dat/rmc file from the full
RMChart, so you have to check the path in these demos

5. How to pass a parameter via reference?
  If it is a string, you just give it Pyhthon string.

  If it is a simple type and the function does not modify it,
currently there is only function RMC_AddDataAxis fits it, you just
need to pass number [0,4] (in other word, constant RMC_TEXTCENTER,
RMC_TEXTLEFT, RMC_TEXTRIGHT, RMC_TEXTDOWNWARD and RMC_TEXTUPWARD) as
nLabelAlignment.

  If it is a cunstom type and the function does not modify it, for
example parameter T in RMC_CreateChartI, which is tRMC_CHART type,
please check "demo_exploding pie tru info.py"

  If it is array of number, for example, nFirstDataValue in
RMC_AddBarSeries, you just make a variant list/tuple of number and
give its name to nFirstDataValue, please check "demo_simplebar.py". As
for the following parameter nDataValuesCount which points out the
length of the array,
  if nDataValuesCount in [0, None], the length of nFirstDataValue
will be used
  if nDataValuesCount < len(nFirstDataValue), nDataValuesCount will be used
  if nDataValuesCount > len(nFirstDataValue), len(nFirstDataValue)
will be used
  since nDataValuesCount has a default as 0, you need not to pass it

  For other parameter via reference which will be changed in the
function, there are 3 ways to pass it. please check
RMC_GetChartSizeFromFile section in "demo_misc&get.py"

6. Buggy
  There are bugs in [gui demo], but I believe it comes from my poor
GUI experience. If you can fix it or supply more complex example,
please let me know.
  If there are other bugs, please let me know too.

7. License
  Python license and mention license, or to say, this pacakge is free
even for commercial use, but you should make it clear in your manual
that you used pyrmchart(http://pyrmchart.googlepages.com/) in your
application.

8. Contact me
  My e-mail in Python
  print 
'x\x9c\xcbI-(\xc9\xd7+\xa8,\xc9\xc8\xcfsH\xcfM\xcc\xcc\xd1K\xce\xcf\x05\x00ep\x08\xac'.decode('zip')

  Webspace for pyrmchart
  http://pyrmchart.googlepages.com/

9. Question
  Is there other free chart tool or python lib that can create nice
and modern chart?
  I mean chart, so matplotlib is not the answer.
  I said "nice and modern", so I don't think
http://home.gna.org/pychart/ and http://graphite.sourceforge.net/ fit.
  And I don't like JAVA and .NET

Pure Python GUI lib?

[oyster]

For the word "Pure", I mean it is not a C/C++/Z++.. extension, so that
we can use it under  pythons of different version. Is it possible?
I don't like to update the module for different python and the module

Currently, I am writing the interface to
iup(http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup) via ctypes, but find 2 too
strange things which have let me feel blue for some days, and I don't
know whether it can be successful or not. Can anyone give me some
lights? Thank you. :)

You can download the files at http://pyguiviactypes.googlepages.com/mini_bug.zip
I am using python 2.5.1 on win2k with sp4

1. in iup.py, if I delete
[code]
_IupMap.argtypes= [
  PTR_Ihandle,#ih
 ]
[/code]
then when I choose the menu "MDI-New", no MDI window come out. Why it
behaves like this?

2. for most of the time, I can only choose menu "MDI-New" 3~4 times,
then it crashes with this msg:
[msg]
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "\loewis\25\python\Modules\_ctypes\callbacks.c", line 206, in

sometimes the above happens when I delete some "???.argtypes=???" form iup.py

how to make bibus with win32com into a exe file

[oyster]

Hi, everyone.
http://bibus-biblio.sourceforge.net/ is a bibliographic and reference
management software, which runs on windows/linux thru wxwidget. On
windows, it uses win32com to insert reference into winword
automatically.
I have installed all the modules, and can launch and use bibus in my
python successfully.
I want to make a exe file for windows for the official one can not
fire up on my chinese windows, however
for pyinstaller, the exe file quits while saying
"no attribute bind" or something else( sorry, it disappears so
quickly).
for py2exe, many modules can not be found automatically
for cx_freeze，it says bibus.exe\win32com\gen_py\dicts.dat can not be found

So any hints? thank you.

any advanced table module for wxpython?

[oyster]

Just like excel or vb does. A grid always looks like a normal grid, and can acts as a normal gird, where we can input some text. but when we click the right-most part, this grid becomes a choice widget, so we can choose some pre-defined gizmo; or it becomes a file-selector, and there is a button with "..." on it, the selected file name is filled; or it pops up a coluor/font choose dialog.

 
It seems that wxpython supports the choice only.
thank you

jpype with JFreeChart, anyone interested to help?

[oyster]

As you may know, there is no beautiful and free chart(not plot, you
can find the examples at http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart,
http://www.rmchart.com) module for python than runs on
windows/linux/mac osx.

On the other hand, there is a living
package(http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart) for java, and it is nice. So
what about make the interface to JFreeChart via
jpype(http://jpype.sourceforge.net), or rewrite JFreeChart in and for
Python to kick off JVM?

I have tried this, but since I don't know Java, I did not go further.
If anyone can help me with the following code, or organzie a
py_jfreechart team, or put up a pyFreeChart team, that would be great.

Thanks

Thanx
However I knew Chaco and matplotlib, and I use matplotlib during my
school days. And as I have pointed out, they are for "plot", but not
"chart". If you don't know the difference between plot and chart, you
can have a look at at http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart,
http://www.rmchart.com
Yes, it is true we can use plot lib to draw chart, but that is tedious.

ANN: pyharu-2.0.8, the interface to libharu(PDF generate lib)

[oyster]

Pyharu is a pure python interface to haru(Haru Free PDF Library,
http://libharu.sourceforge.net/) via ctypes. All of the C API is
usable. All the example programs in haru C src has been ported. It
(should) run on windows/linux without modification.

Pyharu is only 1M, which is small and easy to use than ReportLab.

any complete and actual pysqlite example?

[oyster]

I mean not a code to do seperated functions, but a real project

I have read the doc of pysqlite, but since I know little about
database, I found it is still very hard for me to cook a real database
app from the scratch with the help of codelet in pysqlite doc. here is
the simplified details:
[TABLE 1]
bookName text
price num
author <-- this is actually linked with the [TABLE 2], for one author
maybe write many books, I think it is better to do an external link
[/TABLE 1]

[TABLE 2]
authorName text
[/TABLE 2]

Then
[record  for TABLE 1]
id  bookName  price authoridx
1   The Definitive Guide to SQLite  30  1
2   Core Python 40  2
3   Dive Into Python35  3
[/record  for TABLE 1]

[record  for TABLE 2]
id  authorName
1   Michael Owens
2   Wesley J. Chun
3   Mark Pilgrim
[/record  for TABLE 2]

what I need
1. of cause, create the TABLE, and add real data into it. I don't know
how to deal with the author item in [TABLE 1]

2. list the data. A question is, when I list the record in [TABLE 1],
can I get something like following?
"The Definitive Guide to SQLite", 30.0, "Michael Owens"
I mean, the authorName is returned automatically, but not only the authoridx

3. what if I del the 1st record in [TABLE 2] since a record in [TABLE 1] use it?

4.I want to do some group, for example, group the record in [TABLE 1]
according to their price, so that
[30]
   Book1Name
   Book2Name
[40]
   Book3Name
[50]
   Book4Name
   Book4Name

am23456line123456three", then I must replace at the second SPACE
block, so I get  "I am23456line23456three", and so on, if no SPACE*3
is found, I have to aString.replace(SPACE*2, SPACE).
I hope I have stated my case clear.

Then the question is, is there a nice solution?

Re: do replacement evenly

[oyster]

here is what I get
[code]
import re
reSplitObj=re.compile('([ \t]*)|([^ \t]*)')
def evenReplace(aStr, length):
aStr=aStr.rstrip()
tmp=reSplitObj.split(aStr)
tmp=[i for i in tmp if i not in ['', None]]
lenStr=[[0, len(i)][i.strip()!=''] for i in tmp]
lenSpc=[[0, len(i)][i.strip()==''] for i in tmp]
while sum(lenStr)+sum(lenSpc)>length:
if sum(lenSpc):
lenSpc[lenSpc.index(max(lenSpc))]-=1
else:
break
newSpc=[' '*i for i in lenSpc]
_=[]
for i in range(len(tmp)):
item=tmp[i]
if item.strip()!='':
_.append(item+newSpc[i])
else:
_.append(newSpc[i])

return ''.join(_)

if __name__=='__main__':
a='hello world'
b= evenReplace(a, 5)
print 'a="%s", len=%0i' %(a, len(a))
print 'b="%s", len=%0i' %(b, len(b))
print

a='helloworld   yeaheventeven '
    b= evenReplace(a, 27)
print 'a="%s", len=%0i' %(a, len(a))
print 'b="%s", len=%0i' %(b, len(b))
print

Any GUI lib wiget is capable of a WYSIWYG editor?

[oyster]

that is an html editor with text and picture, while the picture is
linked to the local image file.

for wxPython, the richtextcontrol save the image as en embedded
object, so it is not my choice

is there any other GUI lib and/or sample code to do so?

thanks

instructions on adding external Tcl/Tk widget into Tkinter?

[oyster]

It is so funny that the official GUI lib for python is Tkinter, but I
cannot find an articles which explains indetail how can we use
thounsands of Tcl/Tk widget in Tkinter.


For example, I have download the dll at
http://www.hwaci.com/sw/tkhtml/index.html, renamed it to tkhtml12.dll
and put it in
H:\python25\bin\tcl\Tkhtml1.2\
then I edited a h:\python25\bin\tcl\Tkhtml1.2\pkgIndex.tcl file:
[**pkgIndex.tcl]
if {![package vsatisfies [package provide Tcl] 8]} {return}
if {[string compare $::tcl_platform(platform) windows]} {return}
if {[info exists ::tcl_platform(debug)]} {
package ifneeded Tkhtml 1.2.3 [list load [file join $dir
Tkhtml12g.dll] Tkhtml]
} else {
package ifneeded Tkhtml 1.2.3 [list load [file join $dir
Tkhtml12.dll] Tkhtml]
}
[/**pkgIndex.tcl]

but http://tix.sourceforge.net/Tixapps/src/Python/TkHtml.py says
[*says*]
attempt to provide package Tkhtml 1.2.3 failed: package Tkhtml 0.0
provided instead

a module.pth question

[oyster]

My py24 is installed in h:\python24
I installed pyglet(http://pyglet.org/) in
H:\pure_pylib\Multimedia\pyglet-1.0\, if I do
[code]
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append(r'H:\pure_pylib\Multimedia\pyglet-1.0')
>>> import pyglet
[/code]
it is ok.

but if I created h:\pure_pylib\pyglet.pth file, which containts
[code]
Multimedia\pyglet-1.0
[/code]

then
[code]
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append(r'h:\pure_pylib')
>>> import pyglet
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named pyglet
>>>
[/code]

what is wrong with it? and How to fix it? thanks in advance

Re: a module.pth question

[oyster]

there are 2 reasons:
1. I use both py24 and py25, I don't like to install 2 copies of
pyglet, which is a pure python module and can be used by py24/25 at
the same time, thus I am not willing to put a module under
site-packages, instead I use a separate directory(h:\pure_pylib in my
case)

2. I also carry python on my U-disk, as you know the driver letter
assigned to it is not always same. so I can't use full path name

embed python in ms-word?

[oyster]

In my ms-word documnet, there are some calculation whihc I have to
change due to different argumnet. is there any way to embed python
code in word, so that I can write the following as a macro or
something else, then the result (i.e. 2) is shown in the word
documnet?

def f(n):
  if n<2:
return 1
  else:
return f(n-1)+f(n-2)
main()
  return 'fib(3)=%0i' % f(3)

if that is impossible, does there exist such word-addons can do that? thanx

Re: embed python in ms-word?

[oyster]

in fact, during my work, I often write documnets in ms-word. But the
doc has many numbers in it, which need to be calculated and to be
modified frequently.

Is there a method to write a ms-word add-in, so that
1.I can type in the calculation steps in some program language,
please have a look at http://blender.bokee.com/inc/word_add_in1.jpg

2.then the result (here, it is 8) is shown in the doc when I close this window?
please have a look at http://blender.bokee.com/inc/word_add_in2.jpg

3.when I double-click the result 8, I can view/edit the code again

4.the code for calculation  is stored in DOC file too, I can change it later

mathtype equation is a kind of such thing, but only for displaying
nice equation

I don't think vba is a good answer, the main reason is: the vba code
has an incompact link with its result in the documnet

any tool can shrink DLL?

[oyster]

For many external lib, python( and www.freebasic.net) use only the DLL
version, whcih is very big often if we want to release our program.
So, is there such a tool that can scan a DLL then strip the unused
function's code out, so yields a small working DLL?

for example, in my program I use only 'compress' function in zlib.dll, then
1. I write a list file in which I emurate the function that I used
[code func.lst]
compress
[/code]

2. run the application
[code]
shrink zlib.dll func.lst
[code]
the shrink scans zlib.dll, dumps function 'compress' and all function
code on which 'compress' rely, and at last writes tiny-zlib.dll

BTW, I know why there is DLL.
BTW2, forget upx and so on, they lead to obvious speed down in my experiment

how to let shell.SendKeys use unicode on windows in python

I want to use python to do some automatical operation on windows.
the following is the code, which try to open a file with unicode
characters in its filename in msword
but I can't get it work correctly. Can anybody help me?

if that is the shortcoming of WScript, is there any other way to do so
in python?
(I know there is something like autohotkey, but I am not willing to
learn a new langauge )

thanks in advance


import time
import win32com.client

shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
shell.AppActivate('winword')
time.sleep(0.1)

shell.SendKeys('%fo')# Alt+F, O
time.sleep(0.1)

path=r'c:\some unicode in file name.doc'
shell.SendKeys(path)   #

lib to do advanced geometry calculation?

My problem is some complex, because some condition is not supplied as a
given value
please have a look at

I want to get a precise value if possible, that is to say, (sqrt(2),
0), but not (1.414.0)

A=point(0,1)
B=point(1,1)
C=point(0,0)
D=point(1,0)
AC=segment(A, C)
BD=segment(B, D)
CD=segment(C, D)
AB=segment(A, B)

I=midpoint(B, D)

(vague condition)
E=pointOn(AC)
F=pointOn(BD)
EF=segment(E, F)

G=mirror(A, EF)
G=pointOn(CD)

H=mirror(I, EF)
H=pointOn(AB)


(solve)
E
F

[/description]

Above is the description of my question, but I also hope I can write a
problem like that to solve it.
The only lib I know is sympy, but it seems that I must write different and
long code accroding to different problem

So is there any advanced (and lazy of cause) lib to handle my question?
