Hi,

How to convert GMap Encoded Polyline string to a set of coordinates ?
I need it to calculate the distance between a coordinate and a line in a Django

Are you using Python version 3? If so, you need to put parentheses
around your print arguments, because print is a function:

print("i love pizza!")
print("pizza" * 20)
print("yum" * 40)
print("i'm full.")

As an additional tip, I believe your keyboard has a couple of keys on
it marked "Shift". Holding one down lets you produce capital letters,
which make your emails significantly more readable. Get some practice
with these keys, as you'll use them a lot in programming :)

nested loops

[leonardo]

hi everyone,

i have the following program:

import time
count_timer = int(raw_input('how many seconds?: '))
for i in range(count_timer, 0, -1):
print i
time.sleep(1)
print 'blast off!'


this is the result:

how many seconds?: 5
5
4
3
2
1
blast off!

how can i have it print  a row of stars beside each number, like this?:

how many seconds?: 5
5 * * * * *
4 * * * *
3 * * *
2 * *
1 *
blast off!

Dear Leonardo,

Did it not work to run IDLE in a terminal window with the "-n"
argument? Or are you having difficulty doing that?

IDLE doesn't have any unique abilities. Many people (including me)
use Python under OS X with just a couple of terminal windows and a
text editor. Have you tried that? Have you run into difficulties with
it?

Try typing the following in a terminal window:

  idle3.3

or, possibly

  /usr/local/bin/idle3.3

and see if there is a more useful error message.

If that doesn't work, try adding -n:

  idle3.3 -n

No, you didn't.  You wrote:

print('''Ah, so your name is %s, your quest is %s, and your
 favorite color is %s.''') % (name, quest, color)


The difference between those two statements may not be entirely clear to
someone not experienced in reading code carefully.

Consider the difference between:

   print(a % b)

   print(a) % b

In the first example, the round brackets group the "a % b", which is
calculated first, then printed.

In the second example, in Python 3, the "print(a)" is called first, which
returns None, and then "None % b" is calculated, which raises an
exception.

Just to add confusion, the two lines are exactly the same in Python 2,
where Print is not a function!



You are using Python 3.  In Python 3, "print" is a function that returns
None.  So, the error is exactly correct.  To fix it, you need to have
the % operator operate on the string, not on the result of the "print"
function:

print('''Ah, so your name is %s, your quest is %s, and your
 favorite color is %s.''' % (name, quest, color))

Exactly correct.

if statement on lenght of a list

[Joe Leonardo]

Hey all,

Totally baffled by this...maybe I need a nap. Writing a small function to 
reject input that is not a list of 19 fields.

def breakLine(value):
if value.__class__() != [] and value.__len__() != 19:
print 'You must pass a list that contains 19 fields.'
else:
print 'YAY!'

If I pass:
breakLine([])

I get:
YAY!

I expect:
You must pass a list that contains 19 fields.

If I print len(value) I get: 0

What is going on here?

Thanks!

I wrote a free book about TDD and clean architecture in Python

[giordani . leonardo]

Hi all,

I published on Leanpub a free book, "Clean Architectures in Python". It's a 
humble attempt to organise and expand some posts I published on my blog in the 
last years.

You can find it here: https://leanpub.com/clean-architectures-in-python

The main content is divided in two parts, this is a brief overview of the table 
of contents

* Part 1 - Tools
- Chapter 1 - Introduction to TDD
- Chapter 2 - On unit testing
- Chapter 3 - Mocks

* Part 2 - The clean architecture
- Chapter 1 - Components of a clean architecture
- Chapter 2 - A basic example
- Chapter 3 - Error management
- Chapter 4 - Database repositories

Some highlights:

- The book is written with beginners in mind

- It contains 3 full projects, two small ones to introduce TDD and mocks, a 
bigger one to describe the clean architecture approach

- Each project is explained step-by-step, and each step is linked to a tag in a 
companion repository on GitHub

The book is free, but if you want to contribute I will definitely appreciate 
the help. My target is to encourage the discussion about software 
architectures, both in the Python community and outside it.

As of today the book has been downloaded by 7,500 readers. I hope you will 
enjoy the book! if you do, please spread the news on your favourite social 
network

Akkana, yes that is a good idea, even though I expected the LeanPub output to 
be already the correct one. I'll check with them.

Thanks for reading the book, you actually gave me an idea: writing something 
about adding tests to a project *after* the code has been written. I already 
wrote a post on it, with a practical example, and this might be interesting. 
Many people discover TDD after they already wrote some code.

Thanks

add it

http://www.thedigitalcatonline.com/blog/2017/07/21/refactoring-with-test-in-python-a-practical-example/

This is just a very simple exercise in refactoring, but I believe it's a good

New to Python. For in loops curiosity

[Leonardo Petry]

Hi All,

So I am starting with python and I have been working on some simple exercises.

Here is something I found curious about python loops

This loop run each character in a string

def avoids(word,letters):
flag = True
for letter in letters:
if(letter in word):
flag = False
return flag

The loop below (at the bottom) runs each line of the file

fin = open('wordplay.txt');
user_input = raw_input('Enter some characters: ')
count = 0
for line in fin:
word = line.strip()
if(avoids(word, user_input)):
count += 1;

This is just too convenient. 
Basically my question is: Why is python not treating the contents of 
wordplay.txt as one long string and looping each character?

Any comment is greatly appreciate. Thanks

PyPI, reStructuredText and readthedocs problems

[Leonardo Giordani]

Hi all,

Some time ago I open sourced a package named postage (
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/postage/).

I am experiencing issues with documentation. The project is hosted on
GitHub (https://github.com/lgiordani/postage), where the README.md is
perfectly rendered. My issues are:

1. I use pandoc to convert README.md to README.rst. This latter is rendered
by GitHUb as well, but when I upload the package to PyPI I get a messy
result (look at the package page).

2. When I import the project into readthedocs.org the build fails with no
output. This is the only information I get

- 8< -

Build for postage

Built: Feb. 27, 2015. 10:41 a.m.

State: Finished

Outcome: Failed (Status Code: 0)

Version: latest

Type: html

Build Standard Output

- 8< -

May someone help me figuring out what's wrong in my code?
Thanks!

Leo

Sorry, seems that GMail cannot understand I'm on a ML, and just answered
the single persons.

[Thread with INADA]
Thank you.

Seems that rst2html.py uses the header of a section as the id of the
corresponding HTML anchor.
Since I had two headers with the same title there was a name clash.
I just changed one of the headers and the problem is gone.

Re: PyPI, reStructuredText and readthedocs problems

[Leonardo Giordani]

The libev problem happens on my local Ubuntu 14.10 too. It is not a pike
requirement however (not installed by 'pip install pika').
Seems that pika forces some requirements when on readthedocs through this
code

on_rtd = os.environ.get('READTHEDOCS', None) == 'True'
requirements = list()
if on_rtd:
  requirements.append('tornado')
  requirements.append('twisted')
  requirements.append('pyev')

I contacted Gavin Roy, the pika maintainer, to check this with him.

Thanks

Short syntax for try/pass

[Leonardo Giordani]

Hi all,

a lot of times the following pattern pops out in Python code:

try:
 somecode
except SomeException:
 pass

A very simple example could be if you want to process a list that may be
empty

def process_list(lst):
 try:
  lst[0] = lst[0] + 1
 except IndexError:
  pass

or in more complex cases in which however an exception just signals that
there is nothing to do there.

Converting the code to a non-EAFP version, for example

if len(lst) != 0:
 lst[0] = lst[0] + 1

is in my opinion generally against the Python nature, since it relies on a
specific check on the object, instead of trusting the object as being able
to either satisfy the request or raise an exception. That is, this solution
is non-polymorphic.

In such cases sometimes ABC may help, but generally speaking they it is not
always the case of being an instance of a given ABC or not. The problem
here is if the code raises an exception or not.

Would it be feasible to propose a short syntax like this?

pass SomeException:
  somecode

where the above example would become:

pass IndexError:
 lst[0] = lst[0] + 1

I could not find if such a syntax has been already discussed elsewhere, so
please let me know if this is the case.

Otherwise, what do you think about it?

Thank you

Leonardo

hello all,

i have typed the following program from the book "learn python the hard way":

from sys import argv

script, first, second, third = argv

print "The script is called:", script
print "Your first variable is:", first
print "Your second variable is:", second

then i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/leonardo/Documents/ex13.py", line 3, in

in the book the author says that i should run the program like this:

$ python ex13.py first 2nd 3rd
The script is called: ex13.py
Your first variable is: first
Your second variable is: 2nd
Your third variable is: 3rd
but how can i do that?? what are the steps? where should i go?

help..

[leonardo selmi]

i have also this program:

write a function called rental_car_costthat takes days as input and returns the 
cost for renting a car for said number of days. The cost must abide by the 
following conditions:
Every day you rent the car is $40.
If you rent the car for 3 or more days, you get $20 off your total.
If you rent the car for 7 or more days, you get $50 off your total. (This does 
not stack with the 20 dollars you get for renting the car over 3 days.)
so i wrote the following code:
def rental_car_cost(days):
cost = 40*days
if days >= 7:
return cost - 50
elif days >= 3 and days < 7:
return cost - 20
else:
return cost

but it seems not to be right cause the computer answers: Oops, try again! Did 
you create a function called rental_car_cost?

ii wrote also:

def rental_car_cost(days):
if days >= 7:
return (40*days) - 50
if days >= 3 and < 7:
return (40*days) - 20
else:
return (40*days)

they both work in python shell/idle but not in the exercise in 
"codecademy"..what do you think? is there a bug?

thanks!

xml.dom.minidom getElementsByTagName white space issue

[Leonardo lozanne]

Hi,
 
I'm getting some XML tags with white spaces from a web service and when I try 
to get them with the getElements ByTagName I'm not able to do so. I'm getting 
an empty list. What I'm doing is:
 
#XML_response is an xml string
xml_msg = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(XML_response)
 
nodes = xml_msg.getElementsByTagName("tag ten")  #tag name is "tag ten" with a 
whitespace
 
It all works fine with tags like tag_seven but NOT for tag names with a white 
space. I've tried some escape chars but it doesnt seems to work. 
 
Does anybody has the escape char sequence I should be using or a work around 
for this? Thanks in advanced for your replies.

I'm facing a strange issue in Python execution speed. I'm running the
following test script:

-8<-

dim = 1000
iteration = 10

list1 = []
list2 =  []

for i in range(dim):
list1.append(float(i))
list2.append(float(i) * 0.264)

for k in range(iteration):
for j in range(dim):
ris = 0
ris = ris + list1[j] + list2[j]

-8<-

which runs in about 80 seconds on my local hardware (mean of multiple
execution)
If I move the whole code into a function and call this latter the execution
time drops to about 45 seconds.

What is the reason of this improvement?

Thank you very much in advance.

How to align the text of a Listbox to the right

[Leonardo da Vinci]

Greetings gentlemen and ladies,
I have a question: in Tkinter, how to align a Listbox entry (i.e. a
line of text) to the right?
Google did not show up the answer to my request.
Thanks very much.

I have to use a Listbox that shows a list of entries. Every entry is a
char string quite long in size and I cannot set "width" to a large
value due to limitations of screen resolution. The rightmost part is
more important, so I thought that I could show only the end of the
string by aligning the field to the right.

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to do. Do you know a way to
accomplish that? Because Eric Brunel said it is impossible on a
Listbox.
Thanks to everybody,

Re: A little request about spam

Yeah that is happening to me too! Almost all my python-list e-mails go
to the Spam box.
Maybe we should contact the gmail admins?
