Can I install Python 2.4 and 2.5 ?

2008-05-04 Thread adolfo
I am reviewing various visualization programs (Scipy, PYGNL, etc) and
IDE´s. Some run on Python 2.4 others in 2.5.

Can I have both installed at the same time if I don´t run them
concurrently?

Now in Windows XP soon on Ubuntu 8

Appreciating your help,

Adolfo

Numpy not found

2008-05-04 Thread adolfo


I downloaded and installed Phyton 2.52 (it works), numpy-1.0.4.win32-
py2.5, and scipy-0.6.0.win32-py2.5

I can´t get Numpy to show up at Python´s  IDLE, or command line. If I
do:

>>>> import Numeric
# I get
>>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
import Numeric
ImportError: No module named Numeric

And if I do:
>>>> import Numeric *
# I get
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I restarted the machine and double clicked in the same file
numpy-1.0.4.win32-py2.5 again, it asked whether I wanted to reinstall
or repair, I chose repair. I tried the same commands again after this
but I got the same results.

Next, I went o the Python25 "site packages"  subdirectory and there I
found "setup.py" and "readme.txt" files. I did  run the setup with no
changes and the readme file suggested to run the setup.py scrip. No
changes.

Any help with this mater will be much appreciated,

Adolfo

DISLIN Manual

2008-05-06 Thread adolfo
I am at the very beginning of the DISLIN 9.3 Manual:   1.4 Quickplots

Some quickplots are added to the DISLIN module which are collections
of DISLIN routines for displaying data with one command. For example,
the function ’plot’ displays two-dimensional curves. Example:
from Numeric import *
from dislin import *
x = arange (100, typecode=Float32)
plot (x, sin (x/5))
disfin ()

Problems:

1. "from Numeric import * "  statement produced an error message, I
had to replace it with "from numpy import *"

2. The "from dislin import *" statement produced an error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
from dislin import *
ImportError: No module named dislin

I checked the environmental variables paths and they are according to
instructions. What else to do?

Any help will be much appreciated

DISLIN 9.3 starting issues

2008-05-06 Thread adolfo
*** I thought I posted this subject 45 min ago but it does not show so
something went wrong and it does not show up. Excuse me if I repeat
myself  ***

DISLIN 9.3 old manual problems

I just installed DISLIN 9.3 for python (DISPY is installed too)  and I
am up to:

1.4 Quickplots
Some quickplots are added to the DISLIN module which are collections
of DISLIN routines for displaying data with one command. For example,
the function ’plot’ displays two-dimensional curves.

Example:
from Numeric import *
from dislin import *
x = arange (100, typecode=Float32)
plot (x, sin (x/5))
disfin ()


I built the following little program:

from numpy import *
from dislin import *

def main():
x = arange (100, typecode=Float32)
plot (x, sin (x/5))
disfin ()

main()

*** Here are the problems:

1. The "from Numeric import" statement did not work, I replaced with
"from numpy import*" and no complains form the interpreter.

2. If I enyter "from dislin import *" I get:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
from dislin import *
ImportError: No module named dislin
>>>

I checked the environmental variables paths and it all seems Ok:
c:\dislin
SYSTEM PATH = %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;\System32;\Wbem;C:
\Archivos de programa;\QuickTime;\QTSystem;C:\dislin\win
PYTHON PATH = C:\Archivos de programa\ArcGIS\bin;c:\dislin\python

WHAT ELSE TO DO?

any help will be much apreciated

** Thank you for the comments:
1- The strange thing is that I went to the dislin directory in the C:
drive and there was no disli.pyd file anywhere. I found the file in
the My Documents subdirectory where I had originally unzipped the
dislin archived files I downloaded and from where I run the setup.

> you should set environment variableDISLINtoo
> (see python.inf, which you can find in thedislin-distribution)

2 - Well I have followed the DISLIN 9.3 inf file for Python 2.5.2 for
Windows. It contains commands for a unix command line "unzip -o
dl_93_py.zip setup first and then... " and then:

" Windows 98/ME

Add the following commands to the autoexec.bat file

PATH=c:\dislin\win;%PATH%
SET DISLIN=c:\dislin
SET PYTHONPATH=c:\dislin\python

 Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista

The environment variables can be set or modified with the
Control Panel
(see -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment
Variables)."

 *** I have followed all these directions but DISLIN still does not
shop up as a module when making the Python calls.

It keeps me entertained in spite that my productivity is cero ;-)

DISLIN setup: can not open file map0.dat and all the others

2008-05-07 Thread adolfo
I tried reinstalling the program and the DISLIN/PYTHON SETUP window
showed up with the OK button almost covered by the cancel button.

The window is too small so I extend the edges but the superimposed
cancel button still on top.
Using the edge of the OK button I press the arrow there and two
windows are opened:

* one says: can not open file map0.dat
* the oher one is the Dislin setup window that shows the anme of
the file ebing called, the path , and a completion type of slider. I
accept the denial of fle map0.dat and one by one every  other file
comes with a denial.

The strange thing is that the DISLIN setup windows are in Spanish. I
wonder if  because this machine has XP in Spanish is confusing the
setup?

Python Math libraries - How to?

2008-04-28 Thread aguirre . adolfo
Hi, I am a very newbie who would very much appreciate some hints.

Python 2.52. on Windows XP for now. Soon on Ubuntu 8

I am teaching myself Python following free tutorials. I can solve
problems using arithmetic, but when I try to upgrade the programs
using math libraries nothing seems to work. I downloaded a 2002
tutorial from Zelle "An Introduction to Computer Science" where he
uses a "import math" statement to calculate a square root. I tried the
"pi" library function but it didn´t work. I tried using def Pi()  it
did not work either. I am yet to find a tutorial that explains how to
declare (or initialize) and pass numbers to the functions such as
"cos(x)" and the pi which does not have a variable in it. Is just a
constant.

Here is the arithmetic program I made that it worked before I added
the "import math" line.  I  erased the constant p = 3.1416 and added
the "i" for the library function "pi" in the algorithms. But I get an
error message not recognizing "pi"



#volumen.py
# A program to compute the volume and surface area of a sphere
import math

def main():

print "This program calculates the volume and surface area of a
sphere"
print
r = input("Please enter the radious: ")
print
r3 = r*r*r
volume = 4/3*pi*r3
r2 = r*r
surface = 4*pi*r2
print "The Volume is", volume, " Cubic centimeters"
print
print "The Surface area is", surface, " square centimeters"

main()
