OK, I've made a few changes to the code so Jouni you will probably
want to review them
* I renamed the svn repo and function to be "sample_data" rather than
"mpl_data" to avoid confusion with lib/matplotlib/mpl-data. The svn
repo, the examples and the cbook function have all been renamed. The
repo is ::
svn co
https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/sample_data
and the examples are::
jo...@udesktop191:mpl> ls examples/misc/sam*.py
examples/misc/sample_data_demo.py examples/misc/sample_data_test.py
* I added support for nested subdirs, so you can now do, as in
examples/misc/sample_data_test.py::
datafile = 'testdir/subdir/testsub.csv'
fh = cbook.get_sample_data(datafile)
* I commented out the random number appending, because I do not see
the use case, but we can re-add it when you enlighten me :-)
* I always return a file handle to the cached file, so seek works, and
is exercised in examples/misc/sample_data_test.py
It is probably worth doing a little more work to make the processor
plus the "get_sample_data" function all part of one class, so other
people can reuse it with other repos and other dirs. Eg, something
like the following in cbook::
myserver = ViewVCCacheServer(mycachedir, myurlbase)
get_sample_data = myserver.get_sample_data
