[ANN] Release 0.59 of Task Coach
Hi all, I'm pleased to announce release 0.59 of Task Coach. New in this release: Bugs fixed: * Improved efficiency while tracking effort for tasks. * The column width of the list with filenames in the attachment page of the task editor is now adaptable, so that long filenames can be made visible entirely. * Translation errors in tips. * When having multiple tasks with the same subject, new effort records would always be created for the first of these tasks instead of the selected task. * Opening a file with a non-ascii filename specified on the command line did not work. Features added: * Japanese translation thanks to Yutaka Usui. * Filter sidebar. * Printing. Selecting 'File' - 'Print' will print the currently active view. This means only the visible columns will be printed and only the filtered tasks will be printed, in the current sort order. * Export to HTML. Selecting 'File' - 'Export' - 'Export to HTML' will export the currently active view to HTML. This means only the visible columns will be exported and only the filtered tasks will be printed, in the current sort order. * Columns with numbers or dates are right-aligned. What is Task Coach? Task Coach is a simple task manager that allows for hierarchical tasks, i.e. tasks in tasks. Task Coach is open source (GPL) and is developed using Python and wxPython. You can download Task Coach from: http://taskcoach.niessink.com https://sourceforge.net/projects/taskcoach/ A binary installer is available for Windows XP and a disk image is available for Mac OSX, in addition to the source distribution. Note that Task Coach is alpha software, meaning that it is wise to back up your task file regularly, and especially when upgrading to a new release.

[ANN]UliPad 3.3 is released
What's it?
It's an Editor based on wxPython. NewEdit is the old name, and UliPad
is the new name. UliPad uses Mixin and Plugin technique as its
architecture. Most of its classes can be extended via mixin and plugin
components, and finally become an integrity class at
creating the instance. So UliPad is very dynamic. You can write the
new features in new files, and hardly need to modify the existing
code. And if you want to extend the existing classes, you could write
mixins and plugins, and this will be bound to the target class that I
call Slot Class. This technique will make the changes centralized
and easily managed.
What are its features?
* Cross platform
o based on wxPython, so it can run anywhere that wxPython
works, such as: Windows, Linux.
o Unicode support.
* Most features of wxStyledTextCtrl(Scintilla)
o Syntax highlighting, support Python, c/c++, html, plain
text, perl, ruby, css, javascript
o Folding
o Brace Matching
o ...
* Extended selection
o Extended word selection -- You can press
Ctrl+MouseDoubleClick to select a word including '.'
o Matched selection -- Select text in quoted chars like:
(), [], {}, '', .
* Other editing extension
o Duplicating text -- Just like Vim Ctrl+V, Ctrl+P, and
more. You can duplicate above or below char, word, line
o Quoting text -- Add some quoted chars before and after
selected text, just as: , '', (), [], {}, and
o Text convertion and view -- python - html, reStructured
Text - html, textile - html, and you can output or view
o Utf-8 encoding auto detect
o Changing document encoding
oAuto backup
oLast session support -- It'll save all the filenames as
closed, and reopen the files as next started.
oSmart judge the indent char -- It'll auto guess the
indent char, and sets it.
oFinding in files
oBookmark support
* Python support
obuilt-in python interactive window based on ?PyShell,
support Unicode
o Auto completion
o Function syntax calltips
o Run, run with argument, stop python source
o Auto change current path
o Python class browser
o Indent pasting support(New)
* Code snippets
o You can manage your code snippets with categories, and
each category can have many items. Every item will represent a code
snippet. You can insert an item just by double-clicking on it. It even
supports importing and exporting.
* Simple project support
o Can create a special file _project, so every file and
folder under the folder which has the _project can be considered as a
whole project.
* Extension mechanism
o Script -- You can write easy script to manipulate the all
resource of UliPad, just like: text conversion, etc.
o Plugin -- Customized function. More complex but more
powerful. Can easily merge with UliPad, and can be managed via menu.
o Shell command -- Add often used shell commands, and execute them.
* Ftp support
o You can edit remote files through ftp. You can add,
rename, delete, upload, download file/directory.
* Multilanguage support
o Currently supports two languages: English and Chinese,
which can be auto-detected.
* Shipped plugins(must be configed as used them before)
o Document links -- Python documentation and wxPython documentation.
o Many plugins can be found at UliPad wiki page.
* Shipped scripts
o Many scripts can be found at UliPad wiki page.
* Wizard (New)
o You can make your own wizard template. The wizard can
input user data, combine with template, and output the result. And
wizard also support code framework created. This feature will help you
improving coding efficiency.
* Direcotry Browser(New)
o Browse multiple directories, and you can really add,
delete, rename directories and files. Double click will open the file
in Editor window.
o Support Copy, Cut, and Paste.
o Search in Directory
* AutoComPlete(acp)(New)
o Suport user autocomplete file, it can help to input code
very helpful and functional. Just like EditPlus, but may be more
powerful.
o Manually apply some acp files to current document

ANNOUNCE: kiwi 1.9.9
Kiwi is a PyGTK framework for building graphical applications loosely based on MVC Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Allen Holub's Visual proxy [1]. Think of Kiwi as a high-level, object-oriented layer built on PyGTK. Its design is based on real-world experience using PyGTK to develop large desktop applications, which use many concepts common to most graphical applications: multiple windows and dialogs, forms, data persistence, lists and high-level classes that support domain objects directly.

Exactly the point that's being made. It's so easy just do it yourself:
banana={name:banana}
Hey what is the name of my dictionary?
banana[name]
But why build it into Python and force everyone else to do it, when
most of the time nobody cares what the name is, or they already know?
It's like forcing everybody everywhere always and forever to wear
Hello My Name Is tags.
On reflection, I'm wondering if we've been too harsh on Jojoba and not
thought this through, simply because that's the way it's always been.
Functions have a __name__ attribute. So do classes and modules. Why are
these three objects special that they know the name they were created
with, when other objects don't? Python doesn't attempt to track what name
they are known at *now*, just the name they were born with.
Because they're not created by simple assignment, because they are
usually created once, because new names are bound to them rarely,
and because it's crucial to know their name in debugging, introspection etc.

We found that the code to do this, written in the most natural way, is a lot faster in Python. However, if you optimze the code, C++ gets almost as fast. In other benchmarks C++ outperforms Python and is 10 or 100 times faster. Maybe someone can post this to the c++ maillist and they will tell how to accelerate it. There are enough C++ experts here to do it.

Re: Modules... paths... newbie confusion
Well thank you all... that's all very helpful (apart from the brief diversion into MySQL, but even that was instructive!). Your comments about setup.py prompted me to read the pytz README.txt a bit more carefully and there it says to run python setup.py install. And this copies stuff into site-packages. So it's all starting to come together and make a bit more sense to me, hurrah! There's no README.txt with MSSQL, and python setup.py install gave me a compilation error: c:\Python24\MSSQL-0.09\mssqldb.h(16) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sqlfront.h'. I suspect I'm missing some MS SQL Server developer stuff. Copying the files myself to site-packages didn't work either: there's only a mssqldb.pyd file, no .py or .pyc file. And as you pointed out, there's no 2.4 folder so I'm a bit worried about compatibility. So I abandoned this library and decided to try another SQL Server library instead. I tried pymssql and it came with a Windows installer so I didn't need to run setup.py, which meant I didn't need the MS SQL Server developer stuff. Worked First Time! To conclude: I've got all the answers I needed and have acquired some useful understanding... thank you very much indeed! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

After all, if the value of a is invalid, and the value of a is set in the enclosing scope, it makes sense to refer to the object known locally as a by the name it was known as when it was set. That's what tracebacks are for. You don't have to mentally change gears; you just look. Here's a traceback. One of the arguments to spam() is too small. Can you tell which one just by looking at the traceback? a, b, c, d = range(4) spam(a, b, c, d) Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in ? File stdin, line 6, in spam File stdin, line 5, in eggs File stdin, line 4, in beans ValueError: x is too small Of course you can't. x could be any one of a, b, c or d, and the traceback doesn't give you enough information to tell which. def spam(foo, bar, baz, qux): ... def eggs(alpha, beta, gamma, delta): ... def beans(w, x, y, z): ... raise ValueError(x is too small) ... beans(alpha, beta, gamma, delta) ... eggs(foo, bar, baz, qux) ... Nesting the functions was an arbitrary choice -- the same issue occurs regardless of whether they are nested or not. That's a relatively simple example, with only three layers of nested scopes (four if you count the global scope). I've seen tracebacks with twenty or thirty levels. Ouch. I could have come up with a devilishly convoluted example if I wished, reusing the same names for different purposes in different scopes, or re-binding the names multiple times, or even simply moving the order of arguments around from one function to another. But that would be overkill. This is NOT a complaint against Python's object module, merely a call to recognise that, in some instances, if objects knew their own name, it would be useful. As I've already said, the benefit gained is probably less than the cost required, so I'm not suggesting that Python work this way.

Re: What do you want in a new web framework?
Cliff Wells wrote: I disagree. Even if most of the frameworks end up being nothing more than research artifacts, the fact is they embody research. Without research the Python web framework space will be forever relegated to runner-up (and probably has-been at some point). It's perhaps surprising that even in the areas of the software industry that are focused on selling expertise by providing services, as opposed to selling licences for some code, that the research aspect of developing some software, along with the knowledge gained in the exercise, is frequently ignored in favour of some mass of code that is gradually approaching legacy status. Familiarity with the problem domain is extremely useful, even if it produces no long-lasting product such as a popular Web framework, and the mere knowledge gained in producing something that perhaps no-one else wants to use can be important in informing future decisions about adopting (rather than developing) suitable frameworks, if nothing else. [...] Ruby on Rails doesn't come preinstalled either. I don't think it's appropriate (and apparently most Linux distros currently agree) to install web programming frameworks by default. I think the comment about pre-installed frameworks either confused the issue of availability with the default package selection in some distros, or mistook some announcement/hype about Rails on Mac OS X as being an indication of a wider trend. [...] No, the reason Rails is successful is due to being a decent, focused product with *great* marketing (screencasts, anyone?). Screencasts? Perhaps, like a great showman, they draw in the punters effectively enough, but I'd rather developers concentrate on writing decent documentation than stuffing the pipes of the Internet up with multi-megabyte proprietary blobs showing some individual developing hello world (and still having to practise slight-of-hand in order to make it slick enough). [...] Also the fact that Ruby doesn't suck isn't hurting Rails any either. If GvR wants to improve Python's status against Ruby, I suggest looking at what people are *really* raving about in the Ruby world (despite how they got there) and address those issues rather than getting sidetracked with this nonsense. First of all, I'd take the raving from the Ruby scene with a pinch of salt, given the tendency of the blog personalities doing the raving to breathlessly declare some kind of victory at every turn - as Steve Holden once said, these people are good at the don't mention the weaknesses style of marketing, and that's probably something various Python Web framework developers have picked up quite effectively. I'd rather the Python core developers stopped chasing shadows and looked at the Python distribution in its entirety. Hopefully, the Python 3000 exercise will see its focus shift into really removing the artifacts of legacy decisions in both the language and the library rather than shoehorning more wishlist items into the language. Paul P.S. Wishlist shoehorning example: decorators plus annotations (not really for static typing, honest!) equals... http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2006-August/003034.html It's possible that the example decorator in the above message unintentionally communicates the cynical view of decorators, but the spectre of multi-page annotations is still worth worrying about even if you're a decorator fan.

When you want to have a programm that can display arbitrary dictionaries you end up with a variable name that is (hopefully ;-) meaningful in the context of the programm but not meaningful in respect of the content of the dictionary: at programming-time you can't know what dictionaries are to be displayed so you don't have meaningful names.

I want the following:a) have my editor go to the point where a function/whatever is defined Pydev Extensions (http://www.fabioz.com/pydev) should do that without any problems with F3 (it first tries a 'context-sensitive' match, trying to find it in locals, globals, current class, etc and if not found like that, it goes and looks for the signature in a context-insensitive way, as if it was a simple text-search) b) see all places where a function/whatever is used.

CODE='x'

There are many similar blocks in the file with different NAMEs and
different CODEs. What I'm looking for is a script that searchs through
whole file and finds all strings with name ALFA and based on what CODE
is after each ALFA (can be x, y or z) the ALFA name is replaced by
BETAx,BETAy or BETAz and so changed file saves.
What I did is that I can find all strings which I need, next I change
these strings based on CODE, but what I can't is to replace old string
with new one, on the same position in the file. It always writes new
string at the end of the file. Here is my code

Re: find, replace and save string in ascii file
Take your code, pretend it is in file:
$
NAME='ALFA'
CODE='x'
$
a python functions could be:
def change(filename):
fp = open(filename, 'r')
lines = fp.readlines()
fp.close()
for i in range(len(lines)):
if lines[i].find('NAME') = 0:
if lines[i+1].find('CODE') = 0:
code = lines[i+1].split('=')[1]
lines[i] = 'NAME='+something based off code
fp2 = open(filename,'w')
fp2.write(.join(lines))
So this is pretty crude and not very robust. But should give you about
some idea of how to write something. I'm not sure if there is a way
around opening two file pointers but I think python has no problems
with this. Also if you files can't fit into memory you probably want
to do something a lot more, that is read only a block at a time and
then mess with stuff, probably writing out to a temp file and then
overwriting your original file.

Python-like C++ library
Hi folks, I'm forced to use C++ and STL at work, and consequently miss the ease of use of Python. I was wondering if there was a C++ library that implemented the fundamental objects of Python as close as possible, perhaps using STL underneath the hood. Too clarify, Im not looking to interface C++ with Python in any way, just to emulate the strings / containers / slicing etc. I did google for it but my search terms were too vague...

callable to disappear?
I have been reading http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3100/ en there is written: To be removed: ... callable(): just call the object and catch the exception ... But that doesn't seem to be a generally available option. The place where you want to check if something is callable doens't need to be the place where you actually want to call it. Removing callable will mean that you can't check whether or not something is callable without incurring the side-effects of calling it. I also think code will become more ugly How do you suggest I would code the following: if callable(func): for i, el in lst: lst[i] = func(el) othercode() I can code as follows: try: for i, el in lst: lst[i] = func(el) othercode() except TypeError: pass But this has the problem that othercode could throw a TypeError: So it seems I would need at least two try statements try: for i, el in lst: try: lst[i] = func(el) except TypeError raise LoopBreak othercode() except LoopBreak: pass And this still has problems because the TypeError could be raised because lst is an unsubscriptable object.

I have not changed the 4 lines in the if/else though I don't like them
(if not.../else is a very confusing construct -- at a minimum I'd
rephrase it as if/else swapping the bodies of the two clauses).
If you want to add a generic form accepting either lists or dicts you
need a try/except statement inside it, e.g.:
def invert_generic(container):
try:
container['zap']
except TypeError:
keys = xrange(len(container))
except KeyError:
keys = container
else:
keys = container
return _invert_internal(container, keys)
Of course there are all sort of fragilities here -- e.g., something like
invert_dict_to_lists({23:[45]}) will crash and burn. But that's quite
separate from the issue of distinguishing a dict from a list, which is
what the generic function is doing, showing how to handle exceptions for
the purpose. Of course, there's no way to use a totally generic
container, because there are no real limits to the keys it may accept
(including infinite sets thereof, computing values in __getitem__).

Python + Java Integration
This may seem like it's coming out of left field for a minute, but bear with me. There is no doubt that Ruby's success is a concern for anyone who sees it as diminishing Python's status. One of the reasons for Ruby's success is certainly the notion (originally advocated by Bruce Tate, if I'm not mistaken) that it is the next Java -- the language and environment that mainstream Java developers are, or will, look to as a natural next step. One thing that would help Python in this debate (or, perhaps simply put it in the running, at least as a next Java candidate) would be if Python had an easier migration path for Java developers that currently rely upon various third-party libraries. The wealth of third-party libraries available for Java has always been one of its great strengths. Ergo, if Python had an easy-to-use, recommended way to use those libraries within the Python environment, that would be a significant advantage to present to Java developers and those who would choose Ruby over Java. Platform compatibility is always a huge motivator for those looking to migrate or upgrade. In that vein, I would point to JPype (http://jpype.sourceforge.net). JPype is a module that gives python programs full access to java class libraries. My suggestion would be to either: (a) include JPype in the standard library, or barring that, (b) make a very strong push to support JPype (a) might be difficult or cumbersome technically, as JPype does need to build against Java headers, which may or may not be possible given the way that Python is distributed, etc. However, (b) is very feasible. I can't really say what supporting JPype means exactly -- maybe GvR and/or other heavyweights in the Python community make public statements regarding its existence and functionality, maybe JPype gets a strong mention or placement on python.orgall those details are obviously not up to me, and I don't know the workings of the official Python organizations enough to make serious suggestions. Regardless of the form of support, I think raising people's awareness of JPype and what it adds to the Python environment would be a Good Thing (tm). For our part, we've used JPype to make PDFTextStream (our previously Java-only PDF text extraction library) available and supported for Python. You can read some about it here: http://snowtide.com/PDFTextStream.Python And I've blogged about how PDFTextStream.Python came about, and how we worked with Steve Ménard, the maintainer of JPype, to make it all happen (watch out for this URL wrapping): http://blog.snowtide.com/2006/08/21/working-together-pythonjava-open- sourcecommercial Cheers, Chas Emerick Founder, Snowtide Informatics Systems Enterprise-class PDF content extraction [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://snowtide.com | +1 413.519.6365 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: MS SQL Server: NT Authentication. Possible?
I already mentioned, that it the following works when it's NOT executed by the webserver: code import adodbapi db = adodbapi.connect (Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=VODEV1;Initial Catalog=EVOBACK;Integrated Security=SSPI;) q = db.cursor () q.execute (SELECT SYSTEM_USER) print q.fetchone () q.close () /code Now I found this work-around: I have on a fileserver some directories with restricted rights. In every directory is a file which has always the same name. Now I let the script (executed by the IIS-Webserver) try to open this file (directory is chosen by the user): data = open(server\\directory\\+variable+\\index.py,r).readlines() If the NT-Account of the user has the right to open this file, the script will proceed with the addicted Database-View. If the user has not the right he gets an error-message. And this works! In this case the webserver is working on the fileserver with the NT-account of the user who has used the webinterface. So on the one hand the IIS works fine with the fileserver, but the IIS does not work with the SQL-Server. And it seems not to be the fault of the code, because it works when it's executed directly.

Even from such a point of view, the concept isn't clearly enough defined.
What name would be assigned to the dict below?
l = [1,2,3]
a = some_str
l[0] = {'foo': 'bar'}
Some immutable objects, such as small integers, exist only once. Would you
assign names to them? They're likely to be completely meaningless.
When a name goes out of scope, but the object continues to live (e.g.
because it's returned by some function), the name is void.

Initially, I got error messages about TCL and TK lidbrary and I added them to the PATH. Do the encoder need to be in the source folder along with the code? Again, I don't know anything about programming, but was able to make sense of most of it. Any help would be helpful. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

running windows 'start' cmd using spawnl
Hi, I need to start a program in a new cmd-window. To do this I need to execute: start [command] With os.system this is straight-forward. But I need to do it with spawnl and P_NOWAIT. I.e, asynchronously. The problem is that I need to know the path where start resides, which I'm unable to find. Does anyone know where this command is located, or an alternative way of doing what I want? regards -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: swapping numeric items in a list
Thank you all guys for the help. Guess I'm gonna pick bearophile's way. It's
fast, neat, and easy to read.
array.byteswap() won't work for me easily. I tried this before my 1st post.
I defined
aa = array('H', [0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78])
Then did byteswap aa.byteswap(). The result was
array('H', [0x1200, 0x3400, 0x5600, 0x7800])
You can see it byteswapped within each item.

How to do it fast? My real list is huge.
Use the `array` module and the `array.byteswap()` method.

Re: callable to disappear?
what's wrong with hasattr(obj, '__call__')? Antoon Pardon wrote: I have been reading http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3100/ en there is written: To be removed: ... callable(): just call the object and catch the exception ... But that doesn't seem to be a generally available option. The place where you want to check if something is callable doens't need to be the place where you actually want to call it. Removing callable will mean that you can't check whether or not something is callable without incurring the side-effects of calling it. I also think code will become more ugly How do you suggest I would code the following: if callable(func): for i, el in lst: lst[i] = func(el) othercode() I can code as follows: try: for i, el in lst: lst[i] = func(el) othercode() except TypeError: pass But this has the problem that othercode could throw a TypeError: So it seems I would need at least two try statements try: for i, el in lst: try: lst[i] = func(el) except TypeError raise LoopBreak othercode() except LoopBreak: pass And this still has problems because the TypeError could be raised because lst is an unsubscriptable object. Is there a chance this will be reconsidered? -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Regex help...pretty please?
I'm trying to develop a little script that does some string
manipulation. I have some few hundred strings that currently look like
this:
cond(a,b,c)
and I want them to look like this:
cond(c,a,b)
but it gets a little more complicated because the conds themselves may
have conds within, like the following:
cond(0,cond(c,cond(e,cond(g,h,(af)),(ad)),(ab)),(a1))
What I want to do in this case is move the last parameter to the front
and then work backwards all the way out (if you're thinking recursion
too, I'm vindicated) so that it ends up looking like this:
cond((a1), 0, cond((ab),c,cond((ad), e, cond((af), g, h
futhermore, the conds may be multiplied by an expression, such as the
following:
cond(-1,1,f)*((float(e)*(2**4))+(float(d)*8)+(float(c)*4)+(float(b)*2)+float(a))
Here, all I want to do is switch the parameters of the conds without
touching the expression, like so:
cond(f,-1,1)*((float(e)*(2**4))+(float(d)*8)+(float(c)*4)+(float(b)*2)+float(a))
So that's the gist of my problem statement. I immediately thought that
regular expressions would provide an elegant solution. I would go
through the string by conds, stripping them the () off, until I got
to the lowest level, then move the parameters and work backwards. That
thought process became this:
-CODE
import re
def swap(left, middle, right):
left = left.replace((, )
right = right.replace(), )
temp = left
left = right
right = temp
temp = middle
middle = right
right = temp
whole = 'cond(' + left + ',' + middle + ',' + right + ')'
return whole
def condReplacer(string):
#regex = re.compile(r'cond\(.*,.*,.+\)')
regex = re.compile(r'cond\(.*,.*,.+?\)')
if not regex.search(string):
print whole string is: + string
[left, middle, right] = string.split(',')
right = right.replace('\'', ' ')
string = swap(left.strip(), middle.strip(), right.strip())
print the new string is: + string
return string
else:
more_conds = regex.search(string)
temp_string = more_conds.group()
firstParen = temp_string.find('(')
temp_string = temp_string[firstParen:]
print there are more conditionals! + temp_string
condReplacer(temp_string)
def lineReader(file):
for line in file:
regex = r'cond\(.*,.*,.+\)?'
if re.search(regex,line,re.DOTALL):
condReplacer(line)
if __name__ == __main__:
input_file = open(only_conds2.txt, 'r')
lineReader(input_file)
-CODE
I think my problem lies in my regular expression... If I use the one
commented out I do a greedy search and in my test case where I have a
conditional * an expression, I grab the expression too, like so:
INPUT:
cond(-1,1,f)*((float(e)*(2**4))+(float(d)*8)+(float(c)*4)+(float(b)*2)+float(a))
OUTPUT:
whole string is:
(-1,1,f)*((float(e)*(2**4))+(float(d)*8)+(float(c)*4)+(float(b)*2)+float
(a))
the new string
is:cond(f*((float(e*(2**4+(float(d*8+(float(c*4+(float(b*2+float
(a,-1,1)
when all I really want to do is grab the part associated with the cond.
But if I do a non-greedy search I avoid that problem but stop too early
when I have an expression like this:
INPUT:
cond(a,b,(abs(c) = d))
OUTPUT:
whole string is: (a,b,(abs(c)
the new string is:cond((abs(c,a,b)
Can anyone help me with the regular expression? Is this even the best
approach to take? Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks for your time!
