That's true, Lisp would benefit from _standard_ homogenuous polymorphic
accessor functions to list-like objects and/or low-level (macro-like)
syntactic sugar.  Yes, you can easily make (a i) act like (aref a i)
but it is not done by default.  Legacy reasons?  Graham has interesting
things to say about this issue:

http://www.paulgraham.com/ilc03.html

Most of my programs are also written in Python, however, I would say
that in many cases "a[i] = b[n]" is an artefact of programming habits
from C, which has no language support for list comprehension,
iterators, etc.  I tend to avoid such constructs; usually there is a
more natural way to do the same and it's just too easy to get the
indices wrong.

readline() - problem

2007-10-02 Thread piotr
Hi!
I'm a new user of python, and have problem.
I have a plain ascii file:
11..1
12..1
11..1
I want to create a new file which contains only lines with '1' on 15th
position.
I've tried this:

import string
f=open('/test/test.asc','r')
o=open('/test/out.asc','w')
for line in f:
s= f.readline()
if s[15]=='1' :
   o.write(s)
o.close()
f.close()

Why it doesn't work ('s' contains ' ' )?

template engine

2007-01-13 Thread piotr
Hi,

I'm looking for a template engine that can give me names of required
variables in parse time.
Calculation of a value for a specific variable name could be possibly done
in specified callback function.

For example:


 
  $title
 
 
 #if user
  hello $user/name
 #else
  hello guest
 #endif
 


for above document engine should call my function first giving an argument
"title", then second time with argument "user", and optionally if result
for user was not empty call function again with argument "user/name"
then engine should replace specific placeholders with results of my
callback function
obviously this is just example syntax, I hope you catch the idea

that would be nice if engine could work with non HTML documents.

thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my English :)

I've already done a short look at kid, but to be honest I don't like it's
XML/Python syntax. I strongly prefer idea from SimpleTAL or HTMLTemplates

But syntax is for me not so important like functionality so maybe I have

Why is pylaucher in Python 3.3 being installed in Windows folder?

I guess that's the reason indeed.

Now, the question is why not put pylauncher together with python.exe
now, when 3.3 has an option to add Python's folder to the PATH? In
case there are more than one Python installed this would mean changing
pylauncher when changing active Python (via PATH modification). Maybe
that's undesired? If so then installing to Program Files and adding
its folder to PATH the same way Python's folder is added would be much
better than installing into Windows folder.

DLLs folder on Windows

2013-01-16 Thread Piotr Dobrogost
Hi!

I'm curious how dlls from the DLLs folder on Windows are being loaded? As they
are not placed in the same folder where python.exe resides I guess they must be
loaded by giving the path explicitly but I'm not sure. I'm asking because
there's no DLLs folder being created when creating virtualenv and I suspect it
should be.

This is a followup to my question "Why doesn't virtualenv create DLLs folder?"
(http://stackoverflow.com/q/6657541/95735) and to the virtualenv's issue 87 -
"Problems creating virtualenv on Windows when Python is not installed for all

Why is there no natural syntax for accessing attributes with names not being valid identifiers?

2013-12-03 Thread Piotr Dobrogost
Hi!

I find global getattr() function awkward when reading code.
What is the reason there's no "natural" syntax allowing to access attributes 
with names not being valid Python identifiers in a similar way to other 
attributes?
Something along the line of 
my_object.'valid-attribute-name-but-not-valid-identifier'?

Why do you say it's a side effect? Could you elaborate? I see nothing odd in 
passing literal (string literal in this case) as a value of function's argument.

Attribute access syntax being very concise is very often preferred to dict's 
interface. That's why various containers expose their elements as attributes. 
In my case I'm using in-house web form library which provides FieldSet class 
holding objects of type Field or other FieldSets. This nesting leads to names 
of the form 'outer_fieldset-inner_fieldset-third_field' which are not valid 
identifiers due to minus sign.

Actually only 1 as you should have compared these:
x = obj.'value-1'
x = dct['value-1']

Unless we compare with what we have now, which gives 9 (without space) or 10 
(with space):
x = obj.'value-1'
x = getattr(obj, 'value-1')

> That is not a significant enough savings to create new syntax.  

Well, 9 characters is probably significant enough saving to create new syntax 
but saving these characters is only a side effect and is not the most important 
aspect of this proposal which leads us to the next point.

> Remember the Python philosophy that there ought to be one way to do it.

Funny you use this argument against my idea as this idea comes from following 
this rule whereas getattr goes against it. Using dot is the main syntax to 
access attributes. Following this, the syntax I'm proposing is much more in 
line with this primary syntax than getattr is. If there ought to be only one 
way to access attributes then it should be dot notation.

Piotr

Right. If there's already a way to have attributes with these "non-standard" 
names (which is a good thing) then for uniformity with dot access to attributes 
with "standard" names there should be a variant of dot access allowing to 
access these "non-standard" named attributes, too.

Very true. Just a remark it's actually trading getattr(o,'x') for o.'x' (saving 
of 11 keystrokes - don't forget shifts :)) as attribute is quite a different 
beast then key in a dictionary so comparing this to dict's interface is 
comparing apples to oranges.

Taking into account that obj.'x' would be equivalent to obj.x any attribute can 
be accessed with the new syntax. I don't see how this is not unified access 
compared to using getattr instead dot...

Object's attributes and dictionary's keys are quite different things. What

As much as many people in this topic would like to put equal sign between

Right.

To great degree, yes. Having said that I find extra 11 keystrokes needed to 
access some attributes to be a freaking big and unjustifiable number.

I'm not sure I see your point. Do you mean that being inside class declaration 
there's no name that referrs to the current namespace (the way __globals__ 
refer to module's namespace) thus we can't use proposed syntax to access 
non-standard attributes from this namespace?

Yes, and I think it's very unfortunate in itself. Attribute access is 
fundamental operation and it's not accident that "operator" for this action is 
very concise in many languages being one char only. Having to switch to global 
function to access attribute in case its name is known only at run time is very 
awkward both when writing and reading code.

This is not a big deal and that's what you get when someone had already decided 
that in expression a.b, b is treated literally.

hyphen as long as Python allows any alphanumeric Unicode character inside

As long as obj.x is a very concise way to get attribute named 'x' from object 
obj it's somehow odd that identifier x is treated not like identifier but like 
string literal 'x'. If it were treated like an identifier then we would get 
attribute with name being value of x instead attribute named 'x'. Making it 
possible to use string literals in the form obj.'x' as proposed this would make 
getattr basically needless as long as we use only variable not expression to 
denote attribute's name.
This is just casual remark.

Cross-platform way to get default directory for binary files like console scripts?

Is there cross-platform way to get default directory for binary files (console

Fwd: Basic asyncio usage

2014-03-26 Thread Piotr Husiatyński
Hi,
I have posted the same question to python-tutor list *, but I'm trying
my luck here as advised.

I'm trying to get more familiar with asyncio library. Using python
3.4, I wrote simple echo server (see attachement for the code). I know

Why is str(None) == 'None' and not an empty string?

Having repr(None) == 'None' is sure the right thing but why does str(None) ==

Convert Python 3 ResourceWarnings into exception

2014-07-30 Thread Piotr Dobrogost
Hi!

Recently A. Jesse Jiryu Davis asked at Stackoverflow
(http://stackoverflow.com/q/24717027/95735) if there is "a way to force a
Python 3 unittest to fail, rather than simply print a warning to stderr, if
it causes any ResourceWarning?" Daniel Harding, in the accepted answer,
states it's not possible.

Is it really the case?

For sake of context, here I believe is the place, where
PyErr_WriteUnraisable is being called in this case –

Thanks for taking time to answer.
Please notice that OP already tried
warnings.simplefilter(action='error', category=ResourceWarning)
with no luck.

Also, in the answer, Daniel states the following:
"The ResourceWarning is indeed being generated during garbage collection,
and Python prints a message because it doesn't have a way to raise an
exception at that point."

If it were true that would have been rather unfortunate as I guess most
ResourceWarnings are being generated during garbage collection. In that case
to let users get hold on such warnings there would need to be created new
mechanism for gathering warnings (not based on exceptions as a mean of
transport).

SimpleHTTPRequestHandler used with HTTP/1.1 hangs after the second resource on a page.

2013-04-12 Thread Piotr Dobrogost
Hi!

I'd like to bring your attention to the question titled "Use HTTP/1.1 with 
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler" at http://stackoverflow.com/q/15839718/95735 which 
reads; "When I use HTTP/1.1 with SimpleHTTPRequestHandler, loading a page that 
pulls in other resources will hang after the second resource." and there's a 
tiny test showing the problem.
It's hard to believe that SimpleHTTPServer doesn't handle such a simple task, 
does it?
If I checked correctly code is stuck in handle_one_request() method at line 370 
of server.py 
(http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/d9893d13c628/Lib/http/server.py#l370) but I 
can't see what's wrong.
Any ideas?

Thanks for taking time to reply.

Well, I've seen presentations where BaseHTTPServer is a recommended way of 
running simple, ad-hoc web server. In addition the documentation of http.server 
module in Python 3.3 (which contains implementation of the same HTTPServer 
class as found in BaseHTTPServer module in Python 2.x) does not contain the 
statement you cited which I take to mean it can safely be used directly.

As Python 3.3.1 exhibits the same behavior let's focus on the following Python 
3 version of the code from the original question:

from http.server import SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
from http.server import HTTPServer

class MyRequestHandler(SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
#protocol_version = "HTTP/1.0"   # works
protocol_version = "HTTP/1.1"   # hangs

server = HTTPServer(("localhost", 7080), MyRequestHandler)
server.serve_forever()

> What does 'hang' mean? Does the page get displayed? If so, 
> server.serve_forever is supposes to 'hang'.

I increased the number of resources to 7 to be able to detect possible 
patterns. The page and some of the resources are being displayed almost 
instantly. However browser waits for the requests to get remaining resources to 
finish and so those resources naturally are not being displayed. When browser 
waits the code is stuck at the line I showed in my original post. What's 
interesting is that after some time the request to get the second resource (in 
case there are only 2 on the page) finishes. However the time spent waiting for 
the second resource is ridiculously long compared to time spend waiting for the 
first resource. For example in one of my tests Firebug showed waiting time for 
the first resource to be 4ms whereas the waiting time for the second resource 
to be 1m 55s.

Sure, in version 1.1 of http the connection is not closed by default unless 
'Connection: Close' header was sent in request. Firefox sends all requests with 
'Connection: keep-alive' header.

I don't really know how to debug this...

the official way of printing unicode strings

2008-12-13 Thread Piotr Sobolewski
Hello,

in Python (contrary to Perl, for instance) there is one way to do common
tasks. Could somebody explain me what is the official python way of
printing unicode strings?

I tried to do this such way:
s = u"Stanisław Lem"
print u.encode('utf-8')
This works, but is very cumbersome.

Then I tried to do this that way:
s = u"Stanisław Lem"
print u
This breaks when I redirect the output of my program to some file, like
that:
$ example.py > log

Then I tried to do this that way:
sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter("utf-8")(sys.__stdout__)
s = u"Stanisław Lem"
print u
This works but is even more combersome.

So, my question is: what is the official, recommended Python way?

Oh, maybe it's not cumbersome, but a little bit strange - but sure, I can
get used to it. 

My main problem is that when I use some language I want to use it the way it
is supposed to be used. Usually doing like that saves many problems.
Especially in Python, where there is one official way to do any elementary
task. And I just want to know what is the normal, official way of printing
unicode strings. I mean, the question is not "how can I print the unicode
string" but "how the creators of the language suppose me to print the
unicode string". I couldn't find an answer to this question in docs, so I
hope somebody here knows it.

So, is it _the_ python way of printing unicode?

I want to release the GIL

2008-10-20 Thread Piotr Sobolewski
Hello,
I have such program:

import time
import thread
def f():
    global lock
    while True:
        lock.acquire()
        print thread.get_ident()
        time.sleep(1)
        lock.release()
lock=thread.allocate_lock()
thread.start_new_thread(f,())
thread.start_new_thread(f,())
time.sleep(60)

As you can see, I start two threads. Each one works in an infinite
loop.
Inside that loop it acquires lock, prints its own id, sleeps a bit and
then
releases lock.

When I run it, I notice that only one thread works and the other one
never
has a chance to run. I guess it is because the thread don't have a
chance
to release the GIL - after it releases the lock, it almost immediately
(in
the very next bytecode command) reacquires it. I know I can
put "time.sleep(0.01)" command after between release and reacquire,
but it
doesn't seem elegant - why should I make my program sleep instead of
work?

Is there any simple way to release the GIL? Like:
lock.release()
thread.release_gil()
?

Thanks in advance!

without that - I can just move sleep outside of locked block. But I

thread.gil_release()?

variable scope in list comprehensions

2008-04-03 Thread Piotr Sobolewski
Hello,

there is something I don't understand about list comprehensions.

I understand how does this work:
print [[y for x in range(8)] for y in range(8)]

However I don't understand why this one works:
print [[y for y in range(8)] for y in range(8)]

In this second example I have one loop nested in another. Both loops uses
the same variable - y. How is it that those loops do not conflict with each
other?

For a moment I thought that maybe list comprehension has its own scope, but
it doesn't seem to be so:
print [[y for y in range(8)] for y in range(8)]
print y

Does anybody understand it?

how can I use a callable object as a method

2008-09-18 Thread Piotr Sobolewski
Hello,

I would like to use a callable object as a method of a class. So, when I
have such normal class:

class f:
version = 17
def a(self):
return self.version

f1 = f()
print f1.a()


I want to change it to something like that:

class add:
def __call__(self, another_self):
return another_self.version

class f:
version = 17
a = add()

f1 = f()
print f1.a()

However, the second version does not work. I think I understand why. That's
because "a" inside f1 is not a function (but an object). So f1.a is not a
method. So when I do f1.a(), the implicit argument self is not passed.

Q1: Am I right? Is this the problem?
Q2: What can I do to make it work?

cgi subprocess, cannot get output

2006-04-25 Thread Jakub Piotr Nowak
Hello,

In the following cgi program, I cannot get subprocess output.
I print the header, flush stdout to prepare it to new content,
but variable 'o' is always empty.

Could somebody help me with that? 

def main():
  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
  sys.stdout.flush()

  if form.has_key('sentence'):
input = form['sentence'].value

o = Popen(['./tinki', input], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]
result = cgi.escape(o)

results['xmlfile'] = result
results['sentence'] = input

  content['output'] = (output % results)
  print template % content


Best regards,

} What kind of script is tinki? I had a bitch of a problem like this with 
} perl and ended up just writing to a file. No idea why I couldn't get the 
} stdout.

Tinki is a natural language parser. It takes a sentence as a
command line argument and prints xml file to stdout. 

Thanks for the hint, I will try...
