Re: [BangPypers] Python doc using sphinx
Hi, Basically there are 3 steps involved in this: 1. Write docstrings in your code using reStructuredText directives and field lists that are recognized by Sphinx. See an example here [1]. It's a good idea refer to docs of existing libs as Kracekumar mentioned. 2. Enable the autodoc extension in `conf.py` of the Sphinx source project and add the path to the code to sys.path so that it's importable by Sphinx. 3. Add autodoc directives such as `.. automodule::`, `.. autoclass::` etc. in Sphinx source files wherever you want to include the docs for the code. See more[2] Related: (Please don't mind the self promotion :-)) If you use emacs, check sphinx-doc.el[3] which is an emacs minor mode that I am working on to generate the docstrings for Python functions and methods from the formal parameters. See demo in the README on github.

You can try xmltodict[1]. It also retains the node attributes and makes
than accessible using the '@' prefix (See the example in README of the
repo)
[1]: https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict
Being curious I immediately took a look and tried the following :
import xmltodict
doc1 = xmltodict.parse(
mydocument has=an attribute
and
manyelements/many
manymore elements/many
/and
plus a=complex
element as well
/plus
/mydocument
)
doc2 = xmltodict.parse(
mydocument has=an attribute
and
manymore elements/many
/and
plus a=complex
element as well
/plus
/mydocument
)
print(doc1['mydocument']['and'])
print(doc2['mydocument']['and'])
The output was :
OrderedDict([(u'many', [u'elements', u'more elements'])])
OrderedDict([(u'many', u'more elements')])
The only difference is there is only one many node inside the and
node in doc2. Do you see an issue here (at least I do). The output
structure is a function of the cardinality of the inner nodes. Since
it changes shape from a list of many to not a list of 1 but just 1
element (throwing away the list). Which can make things rather
unpredictable. Since you cannot predict upfront whether the existence
of just one node inside a parent node is consistent with the xml
schema or is just applicable in that particular instance.
I do think the problem is tractable so long as one clearly documents
the specific constraints which the underlying XML will satisfy,
constraints which will allow transformations to lists or dicts safe.
Trying to make it easy without clearly documenting the constraints
could lead to violations of the principle of least surprise like
above.
The README does mention that it's based on this spec[1] (or
rather a blog post) that has the assumptions. But it seems to be
missing a lot of documentation in general as well.
Out of curiosity I looked into the code to see if the author has left
any comments about this inconsistency (value type varying between lists
and unicode/OrderedDict). While there are no such comments, I found
that the `parse` function can take a keyword arg `dict_constructor`, so
any other dict-like structure can be used instead of OrderedDict.
for eg. to force every node to be inside a list irrespective of the
cardinality -
import xmltodict
from collections import defaultdict
doc2 = xmltodict.parse(
mydocument has=an attribute
and
manymore elements/many
/and
plus a=complex
element as well
/plus
/mydocument
, dict_constructor=lambda *a, **k: defaultdict(list))
doc2
defaultdict(type 'list', {u'mydocument': [defaultdict(type 'list',
{u'and': [defaultdict(type 'list', {u'many': [u'more elements']})],
u'plus': [defaultdict(type 'list', {'#text': [u'element as well'], u'@a':
u'complex'})], u'@has': u'an attribute'})]})
doc2['mydocument'][0]['and'][0]['many']
[u'more elements']
Of course, defaultdict would lead to the order of nodes being lost, but an
OrderedDefaultDict (never tried before :-)) might work.
It gets even more interesting, eg. below
doc3 = xmltodict.parse(
mydocument has=an attribute
and
manyelements/many
/and
plus a=complex
element as well
/plus
and
manymore elements/many
/and
/mydocument
)
print(doc3['mydocument']['and'])
leads to the output :
[OrderedDict([(u'many', u'elements')]), OrderedDict([(u'many', u'more
elements')])]
Definitely not what would be naively expected.
Correction:
print(doc3['mydocument'])
prints
OrderedDict([(u'@has', u'an attribute'), (u'and',
[OrderedDict([(u'many', u'elements')]), OrderedDict([(u'many', u'more
elements')])]), (u'plus', OrderedDict([(u'@a', u'complex'), ('#text',
u'element as well')]))])
which just trashed the ordering of an and followed by a plus followed by
an and.
This is a more serious problem particularly if the dict is required to be
serialized back to xml.
Thanks for pointing out these issues, I had missed them entirely :-)

Re: [BangPypers] Do you pin your requirements.txt ?
I too have learnt the hard way how `--upgrade` can cause conflicts due to the `pip freeze` flattening the dependency tree. What works for me though is to keep requirements.txt completely out of picture when upgrading packages ie. to upgrade manually and preferably do it one package at a time as far as possible. Considering that upgrades don't happen frequently (at least in projects I have worked on), it's not much of a hassle. But yes, this requires a list of top level deps to be maintained (or they may be found out by guessing and confirming at the time of upgrading :-)) IMO, where pinning really helps is guaranteeing a stable environment at any time. One advantage of pinning requirements even if there are automated tests is that if tests fail due to a breaking upgrade, it will be easier to know which version to rollback to. Another thing is, as per the deployment workflow we follow at my workplace, everytime while deploying code to the server, fabric runs a `pip install -r requirements.txt` remotely. Since requirements are pinned, most of the time installation is skipped unless some package has been upgraded locally. But in case they are not pinned, a buggy upgrade could break production (there could be a better approach for synchronizing dependencies across different environments and I would be happy to know about it) On Fri, Sep 13, 2013 at 1:06 PM, Saager Mhatre saager.mha...@gmail.comwrote: On Sep 13, 2013 9:19 AM, Dhananjay Nene dhananjay.n...@gmail.com wrote: [...] Given adequate test coverage to verify negative side effects of any transitive dependency version upgrades, pinning could be skipped imo.

json is a package and tool is one of the modules inside that.

If you want to read the source for the json module, just do
$ epy json
and the json module is loaded into Emacs.

Re: [BangPypers] Heterogeneous forms in django formset
Just a guess, but do you want multiple form classes for saving a main

for inline formsets
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#using-an-inline-formset-in-a-view]
Also, I have written a small jquery plugin
[https://github.com/kodeplay/augForm] for handling the adding/removing
of forms in a formset on the client side. It includes a django formset
helper which achieves this by manipulating the management form
associated with the formset using javascript. Might be of your help..

as I can see formsets can have the ability to handle heterogenous
forms as well:
With some definitions changed
class BaseHeterogenousFormSet(StrAndUnicode):
def append(form):
#add one more form to the formset
def is_valid():
#run is_valid for each of the forms in the formset
def clean():
#run the clean for each of the forms ...

[BangPypers] To use Pinax or just Django
Hi, I am considering Pinax/Django for a new project. When I came across Pinax, I initially liked it but after installing it locally and evaluating it for the project's requirement, I feel that most of the apps that come with it may not work for the project as they are, and would require some amount of customization. I am confused whether to use Pinax or just Django. my main concerns about Pinax are - 1) It supports Django ver 1.xx whereas current stable Django is at 1.3 and the apps are also not quite upto-date 2) Code for the ready apps lies inside the Pinax project and there is no way to override their behaviour for a certain project only. ie. either the code inside Pinax directory will have to be modified or the app will have to be copied inside the project (and renamed to avoid conflict if I am not wrong ?) 3) Modifying the default theme looks like some work One thing in Pinax that would be helpful is the Group and Group Aware Apps - [http://pinaxproject.com/docs/dev/groups/] My experience with Django itself is very limited in the first place, never having used it in production. My background is mostly web development using PHP Java, although I am quite comfortable with writing python scripts involving file system operations, web scraping etc. What do you suggest, Pinax or just Django ? Please share your experiences with Pinax. Thanks, vineet -- Vineet Naik ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
