How to go about with PDF regression

Hey there, so I'm trying to create automated regression for PDFs that will use Selenium RC for the generation and Python for the comparison of PDFs. I will be using pyPdf to rename the files according to their content, ImageMagick to convert the PDFs to images and PIL to actually compare the PDF

Re: How to go about with PDF regression

Update: Found out with the Picture Manager by Windows I could view an image 100%, use a tool that measures the windows and get a probably not accurate but still serviceable coordinate to use. I compared with the coordinates I currently have and tried to get it by the above method and the coordin

Dictionaries with tuples or tuples of tuples

So I have a dictionary and the key is a number. The values are either a single tuple or a tuple of tuples. Is there a better way to go about accessing the values of the dictionary? All the tuples contain four elements. So say: col = {"1": (0,1,2,3): "2": ((0,1,2,3),(2,3,4,5))} Then to access th

Re: Dictionaries with tuples or tuples of tuples

Wow, why didn't I think of that. Thanks! I'll try it now. By the way I think I don't need to wrap the single tuples in runtime because I'm declaring that dictionary anyway beforehand and I could just do it right there. I won't be adding elements to the tuple. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/l

Re: Dictionaries with tuples or tuples of tuples

Sorry if I didn't check the code before I posted it, I just mocked it up in Google's editor. That's what Mitya suggested too, yep, I guess I just need to make it uniform to get rid of the extra checking. Thanks man! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Dictionaries with tuples or tuples of tuples

Hi Mark. Well, doesn't iteritems() work the same? or am I missing something? By the way I'm sure I read the dictionaries part of Python but I'm unsure if it would take int's as a key for dictionaries. I've been weaned on Java where the keys of hashmaps are always Strings. PS: Just checked, wow

Re: Dictionaries with tuples or tuples of tuples

Thanks Dave and Mitya for enlightening me about dictionaries. I'm still confused about this though: " so that if two key objects are equal, they stay equal, and if they differ, they stay different. " What does this mean? I won't be comparing key objects with one another. Also, when I had two

Re: Dictionaries with tuples or tuples of tuples

Oh, I see, thanks! I was thinking I'll study 2.7 and once I'm comfortable with Python as a language I'll move to 3. Heck, I don't even know how to create a simple main method. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

PIL ImageChops.difference not working correctly(?)

I have two images generated from ImageMagick that I need to compare through PIL but when I compare them it says that the two images aren't identical. I tried viewing the supposed "difference" but all I see is a black image which means the two image are identical. ImageChops even returns the regi

Re: PIL ImageChops.difference not working correctly(?)

Wow, what the heck, I just learned that using beyond compare if I compare the two images then I'll see a different section under tolerance mode. Anyone an expert on images? The two images have whites on that same image but they're different according to BeyondCompare. What's more, if I do a bina
