SIMD powered Python

Hi! Is there any I&D ongoing about using SIMD [1] instructions, like SSE [2], to speed up Python, especially regarding functional features, like list comprehension, map and reduce, etc.. ? Best regards, Hugo Ferreira -- [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/

Typed named groups in regular expression

Hi! Is it possible to "automagically" coerce the named groups to python types? e.g.: >>> type(re.match('(?P\d*)', '123').groupdict()['x']) But what I'm looking forward is for the type to be 'int'. Cheers! Hugo Ferreira -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python Dijkstra Shortest Path

f anyone has any idea to make this faster (maybe map? list comprehension? some python trick?)... Profiling blames the heapq (eheh). On a my CoreDuo T2300, it takes 1.6seconds to find a path of 800 vertexes in an half a million mesh. Greetings! Hugo Ferreira -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Synchronous shutil.copyfile()

Well.. Thx for the answers. The only way I had to make it work was to use a time.sleep(10) after the shutil.copyfile(). Since this is a night-run script, I can waste 10 seconds, but it still knocks me out "why" it happens... Cheers! Hugo Ferreira On 30 Jan 2007 18:06:15 + (GMT

Synchronous shutil.copyfile()

but at run-time, it throws an exception. Is there anyway to force a sync copy of the file (make python wait for the completion)? Thanks in advance! Hugo Ferreira -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

re.sub and empty groups

uld be an empty string instead of None). This is because I want to use re.sub() and when the group is None, it blows up with a stack trace... Maybe I'm not getting the essence of groups and non-grouping groups. Someone care to explain (and, give the correct solution :)) ?

Best memory analyzer?

Hi! I'm using the BGL bindings, but I think I'm having a giant memory leak. Thing is, I'm not sure if it is the bound C++ variables that are not being trashed, or if the leak is inside my program. What is the best way to debug this? Thanks! Hugo Ferreira -- GPG Fingerprint:

Best way for inter-process communication in Python

r... Just a few considerations: Python version is 2.4. PostgreSQL version is 8.2RC1, OS version is Windows Server 2003. Thanks in advance, Hugo Ferreira -- GPG Fingerprint: B0D7 1249 447D F5BB 22C5 5B9B 078C 2615 504B 7B85 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Rendering Vector Graphics

Hi ppl,I need to render high-quality vector graphics with Python. I was thinking of something like 'cairo', though I need to run under win32 and can't find a pycairo package for it. Suggestions?Thanks, Hugo Ferreira-- GPG Fingerprint: B0D7 1249 447D F5BB 22C5  5B9B 078C 2615 504

Re: Proposal: [... for ... while cond(x)]

I actually like the proposal...If the argument to remove map, lambda and filter can be that list comprehension is more "readable", then why can't this one also use it?Which reminds me this discussion: http://awkly.org/archive/can-python-take-advantage-of-mapreduce/ Cheers!HugoOn 8/6/06, Slawomir N

Re: Type signature

Which is expecially true when using IDEs with auto-completion.Using VisualStudio/MonoDevelop and C# I rarely need to look at the documentation because I can quickly see what a method accept and returns. And when I need to pass flags or options, enums are much more neat and encapsulated. With Python
