ANN: PyVISA 1.1 -- GPIB, USB, RS232 instrument control
Hallöchen! At http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net you can find information about the PyVISA package. It realises Python bindings for the VISA library functions, which enables you to control GPIB, USB, and RS232-serial measurement devices via Python. Yesterday I released version 1.1, which works much better together with older VISA implementations. Moreover, we finally have reports from Linux users. They successfully used PyVISA with Linux + NI/Tektronix GPIB hardware. Tschö, Torsten.

What Guido does for his day job
Ever wonder what Guido has been doing at Google? Now is your chance to find out! Guido has worked at Google for nearly a year. He splits his time between working on Python and working on Google projects. He will be giving a presentation and demo on Nov 30, 2006. I won't spoil it, but this talk will touch on some aspects of Google's development process and what Guido has done to improve it. He did such a good job, engineers voted his project one of the top 10 accomplishments! The talk will be at 7.00pm on Nov 30, 2006 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA in Building 43, room: Tunis. The talk is targeted towards anyone interested in software development. It's not Python specific. For updates, check http://code.google.com/ I believe the talk will be videotaped and put on Google video.

a+ should greedily consume a's at the expense of the string not matching
They are greedy - they consume as much as possible *without*

You are thinking I think of possessive quantifiers, such as found in
Java, which *will* match as much as possible even if doing so causes
the match to fail. This would be written:
re.match('(a++)(ab)','aaab')
Python doesn't support these possessive quantifiers.

Pyparsing Question.
I have a home-grown Wiki that I created as an excercise, with it's own wiki markup (actually just a clone of the Trac wiki markup). The wiki text parser I wrote works nicely, but makes heavy use of regexes, tags and stacks to parse the text. As such it is a bit of a mantainability nightmare - adding new wiki constructs can be a bit painful. So I thought I'd look into the pyparsing module, but can't find a simple example of processing random text. For example, I want to parse the following: Some random text and '''some bold text''' and some more random text into: Some random text and strongsome bold text/strong and some more random text I have the following as a starting point: from pyparsing import * def parse(text): italics = QuotedString(quoteChar='') parser = Optional(italics) parsed_text = parser.parseString(text) print parse(Test this is '''bold''' but this is not.) So if you could provide a bit of a starting point, I'd be grateful! Cheers, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

would find in this case that the problem exists there too -- it has
nothing to do with Python. The problem is that the first argument
*contains* spaces, but the Windows command processor splits the command
line on spaces, so it thinks the first argument is 'C:\\Documents'. On
both the command line and in your script, you will need to wrap quotes
around each argument that does/could contain spaces.

text file parsing (awk - python)
Hi list,
I have an awk program that parses a text file which I would like to
rewrite in python. The text file has multi-line records separated by
empty lines and each single-line field has two subfields:
node 10
x -1
y 1
node 11
x -2
y 1
node 12
x -3
y 1
and this I would like to parse into a list of dictionaries like so:
mydict[0] = { 'node':10, 'x':-1, 'y':1 }
mydict[1] = { 'node':11, 'x':-2, 'y':1 }
mydict[2] = { 'node':12, 'x':-3', 'y':1 }
But the names of the fields (node, x, y) keeps changing from file to
file, even their number is not fixed, sometimes it is (node, x, y, z).
What would be the simples way to do this?

Re: Trying to understand Python objects

Reading Think Like a Computer Scientist I am not sure I understand
the way it describes the way objects work with Python.
1) Can attributes can added just anywhere? I create an object called
point, then I can add attributes any time, and at any place in the
program?
Apart from a few special cases (mainly builtin types or new-style
classes using slots IIRC), yes.
Now wether this is a good idea is another question. As far as I'm
concerned, I do use this feature, but only for special cases, and almost
only in metaclasses or other special 2-stages init.
2) Are classes typically created like this:
class Point:
pass
Then attributes are added at some other time?
Nope. The canonical idiom is to use the initializer:
class Point(object):
def __init__(self, attr1, attr2):
self.attr1 = attr1
self.attr2 = attr2
self.attr3 = 42
3) What is with the __underscores__ ??
magic methods or attributes. The initializer ('__init__') is one of
them, which is called at instance creation time. Most of the magic
__methods__ are used to implement or override operators. You'll find the
relevant documentation around here:
http://docs.python.org/ref/specialnames.html
4) Are parameters passed to an class definition?
class Whatever(params):
pass
A class statement is not a function definition statement. Here, you ask
for a class Whatever inheriting from class params. Cf the above point
about the __init__ method for passing args at instanciation.
I sort-of understand the way objects work with PHP. With PHP, the
classes are defined in one place - sort of like a function.
FWIW, Python's classes actually are callable objects (just like
functions are callable objects). To instanciate a class, you just call
the class, no 'new' keyword needed.
To me, that
makes more sense.
?php
class Obj {
// pass
}
$obj = new Obj();
$obj-name = toto;
echo $obj-name;
?
Just like Python (and Javascript FWIW), PHP objects are mostly hashtable
in disguise. But - having some experience with both PHP and Python (and
some other OOPLs), I can tell you that Python's object model is far
superior to PHP's one.
The only gotcha here wrt/ most other object models is that attributes
defined in the class statement body (ie, outside methods) are attached
to the class object itself (and then shared by all instances of the
class), not to instances themselves. Instance attributes initialisation
is usually done in the __init__(self, ...) method.

File upload from client application (non-form based upload)
Hi I'm trying to write a Python script to receive and save a file on a web server that has been POST'ed from a client application. In essence, this is similar to handling a file upload from an HTML form. However, I can't use: form = cgi.FieldStorage() fileitem = form['file'] since the file is not coming from a form, and hence I don't have a form field called 'file'. I have working server-side code in PHP to do this (error handling removed): $file = ./test.jpg; $file_handle = fopen($file,w); $mydata = file_get_contents(php://input); fwrite($file_handle, $mydata); fclose($file_handle); What I need is a Python equivalent of the the above PHP script. The content-type in the POST header is currently set to application/octet-stream which works fine with the php code above.

If you use wxWidgets, you may want to have a look at projects like
Boa-constructor or PythonCard. If you use QT/KDE, Eric3 offers good
integration with QT Designer IIRC.
Now as you can see, the problem with RAD tools is that they are specific
to a given GUI toolkit. Python runs on a lot of platforms, and some of
these platforms (ie Linux) are not tied to a specific GUI toolkit. So
integrating the RAD tool in the IDE means you can't use this IDE with
other GUI toolkits.
Also, there's a tradition in the *n*x world about preferring small,
highly specialized tools over huge monolithic do-it-all applications. As
an example, I daily use half a dozen languages, and I wouldn't like to
have to learn half a dozen IDEs. I'm much more productive with a good
code editor, the command line, and a few external tools when needed.

PyQt app in seperate thread

Capture file descriptors while running an external program
Hi all! I have a problem with the module subprocess! The problem is that the external software that I am running under subprocess.Popen opens stdin, stdout, stderr, and other file descriptors to write and read in the hard drive. I know how to capture stdin, stdout and stderr, what I cannot do is to capture the other file-descriptors. Is there any way to wrap those non-standard file descriptors and make them write and read from a specific object that I define? I know that I can use tmp files to do that, but i would like something running without tmp files. Regards... Joao ___ O SAPO já está livre de vírus com a Panda Software, fique você também!

Re: Python visual IDE
hmmm,,,ok, i see your point.
As i understand it, as a newcomer, it is a little cumbersome to right
the code in one ide,
glue the UI from another toll and all that stuff.
I know it works but if someone is coming from VS.Net, it seems a little
strange, at first.
I also saw that the wxWidgets is the more feel natural in all
platforms so i
believe that if an IDE is able to offer RAD capabilities and build upon
this
widget, it will be an awesome tool for Python programmers,
matches this way VS and other win RAD IDEs...
Thanks a lot for your post, i'll have a look at the programs you
mention!

Hi to all,
i am not sure if this question really belongs here but anyway, here it
goes: I have seen a lot of IDEs for Python, a lot of good stuff but
actually none of them has what, for example, Visual Studio has: a
Visual Editor (with the ability to place controls on forms etc etc),
or RAD
I know that there is Glade but does anybody knows of some product, or
an ongoing effort to this direction so i can have a look at ?
Coming from Windows and vs.net world, i think the only missing point
here is the integration of the Pyrthon with a RAD IDE...
Thanks a lot and i apologize if this isn't the correct place for this
question...If you use wxWidgets, you may want to have a look at projects
like
Boa-constructor or PythonCard. If you use QT/KDE, Eric3 offers good
integration with QT Designer IIRC.
Now as you can see, the problem with RAD tools is that they are specific
to a given GUI toolkit. Python runs on a lot of platforms, and some of
these platforms (ie Linux) are not tied to a specific GUI toolkit. So
integrating the RAD tool in the IDE means you can't use this IDE with
other GUI toolkits.
Also, there's a tradition in the *n*x world about preferring small,
highly specialized tools over huge monolithic do-it-all applications. As
an example, I daily use half a dozen languages, and I wouldn't like to
have to learn half a dozen IDEs. I'm much more productive with a good
code editor, the command line, and a few external tools when needed.
My 2 cents...

Getting exceptions back from calls to embedded python
Hi all,
I have an application that is using embedded python to offer some
scripting ability. An API is exposed via SWIG, and I am accessing that
API from my embedded python interpreter.
Scripts are present as separate files, and I'm invoking them at present
using the following:
iserr = PyRun_AnyFileEx(f,name,1);
if(iserr){
/* tell the user */
return 1;
}else{
/* all good */
return 0;
}
My question is, if I want to be able to get information about
exceptions that have occurred here (perhaps a syntax error, or an
import error, or perhaps a runtime error), what would be the easiest
way to do this now?
I understand that I'm currently using the 'very high level interface'
for python embedding. What's the easiest next step down that will allow
me to catch exceptions and report them?
Would appreciate any thoughts.
Cheers
JP

ANN: PyVISA 1.1 -- GPIB, USB, RS232 instrument control
Hallöchen! At http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net you can find information about the PyVISA package. It realises Python bindings for the VISA library functions, which enables you to control GPIB, USB, and RS232-serial measurement devices via Python. Yesterday I released version 1.1, which works much better together with older VISA implementations. Moreover, we finally have reports from Linux users. They successfully used PyVISA with Linux + NI/Tektronix GPIB hardware. Tschö, Torsten.

Re: Pyparsing Question.
Ant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a home-grown Wiki that I created as an excercise, with it's own wiki markup (actually just a clone of the Trac wiki markup). The wiki text parser I wrote works nicely, but makes heavy use of regexes, tags and stacks to parse the text. As such it is a bit of a mantainability nightmare - adding new wiki constructs can be a bit painful. So I thought I'd look into the pyparsing module, but can't find a simple example of processing random text. For example, I want to parse the following: Some random text and '''some bold text''' and some more random text into: Some random text and strongsome bold text/strong and some more random text I have the following as a starting point: from pyparsing import * def parse(text): italics = QuotedString(quoteChar='') parser = Optional(italics) parsed_text = parser.parseString(text) print parse(Test this is '''bold''' but this is not.) So if you could provide a bit of a starting point, I'd be grateful! Cheers, Ant, Welcome to pyparsing! The simplest way to implement a markup processor in pyparsing is to define the grammar of the markup, attach a parse action to each markup type to convert the original markup to the actual results, and then use transformString to run through the input and do the conversion.

Yes, Actually when you create the project from wxDesigner, the main will also be generated for you ... then you include the correct files in eclipse (note that one file never needs to be edited ... like glade). I went for wxDesigner years ago when wxglade was fairly unstable ... have not tested it lately. wxDesigner has its own editor (so you can say it is a complete environment) ... but I only use it to automatically generate classes, events ... as eclipse+pydev bring much more to the picture. I really do not regret the expense. PS: wxDesigner will also generate code for other languages (never tried) : c++, c#, perl PPS: I'm not getting any money from them ;-) hg king kikapu wrote: I didn't know about this product you mention (wxDesigner).

But Daniel Nogradi says: But the names of the fields (node, x, y) keeps changing from file to file, even their number is not fixed, sometimes it is (node, x, y, z).

PyParsing and Headaches
Hi,
I'm trying to construct a parser, but I'm stuck with some basic stuff... For
example, I want to match the following:
letter = A...Z | a...z
literal = letter+
include_bool := + | -
term = [include_bool] literal
So I defined this as:
literal = Word(alphas)
include_bool = Optional(oneOf(+ -))
term = include_bool + literal
The problem is that:
term.parseString(+a) - (['+', 'a'], {}) # OK
term.parseString(+ a) - (['+', 'a'], {}) # KO. It shouldn't recognize any
token since I didn't said the SPACE was allowed between include_bool and
literal.
Can anyone give me an hand here?
Cheers!
Hugo Ferreira
BTW, the following is the complete grammar I'm trying to implement with
pyparsing:
## L ::= expr | expr L
## expr ::= term | binary_expr
## binary_expr ::= term binary_op term
## binary_op ::= * | OR | AND
## include_bool ::= + | -
## term ::= ([include_bool] [modifier :] (literal | range)) | (~
literal)
## modifier ::= (letter | _)+
## literal ::= word | quoted_words
## quoted_words ::= '' word ( word)* ''
## word ::= (letter | digit | _)+
## number ::= digit+
## range ::= number (.. | ...) number
## letter ::= A...Z | a...z
## digit ::= 0...9
And this is where I got so far:
word = Word(nums + alphas + _)
binary_op = oneOf(* and or, caseless=True).setResultsName(operator)
include_bool = oneOf(+ -)
literal = (word | quotedString).setResultsName(literal)
modifier = Word(alphas + _)
rng = Word(nums) + (Literal(..) | Literal(...)) + Word(nums)
term = ((Optional(include_bool) + Optional(modifier + :) + (literal |
rng)) | (~ + literal)).setResultsName(Term)
binary_expr = (term + binary_op + term).setResultsName(binary)
expr = (binary_expr | term).setResultsName(Expr)
L = OneOrMore(expr)

KeyboardInterrupt from syscalls
Dear List, I was writing a Python extension module, including a sleeping call to poll(2), and noticed, to my great surprise (and joy), that even when blocking there, KeyboardInterrupt still worked properly when sending SIGINTs to the interpreter. It really got me wondering how it works, though. I would have thought that I would have to check manually for interrupts in one way or another, seeing how the thread in question should be stuck in my syscall. Sure, I return on EINTR, but I only return Py_FALSE, not NULL, so I wouldn't have thought that the interpreter would look for an exception having taken place (I would assume that it gets set in the sighandler). So how does it work? Does my code get to return Py_FALSE, and the interpreter ignores it, seeing that an exception is set? Is a non-local exit performed right over my call stack (in which case my next question would be how to clean up resources being used from my C code)? Or does something completely else happen?

included in the extended ASCII table, and thus can be stored in one byte.
Any clue ?
hg
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import string
def convert(mot):
print len(mot)
print mot[0]
print '%x' % ord(mot[1])
table =
string.maketrans('àâäéèêëîïôöùüû','\x00a\x00a\x00a\x00e\x00e\x00e\x00e\x00i\x00i\x00o\x00o\x00u\x00u\x00u')
return mot.translate(table).replace('\x00','')
c = 'àbôö a '
print convert(c)

How to pass a boolean to a stored proc using Cx_Oracle?
Hi, I am using Python 2.4 and cx_Oracle. I have a stored proc that takes two arguments. First is an NUMBER, second is a BOOLEAN. How do you call that stored procedure? After properly extablishing a connection, I have something like this: cursor = con.cursor() cursor.callproc(testproc,[123,True]) The problem I have ran into is that I keep getting an error from Oracle stating I don't have the variables defined in with the proper type. I changed to proc just to test it, so that it would take two numbers. I was able to make it run properly. So, what is the trick to pass a boolean?

are you perhaps using an UTF-8 editor?
to keep your sanity, no matter what editor you're using, I recommend
adding a coding directive to the source file, and using *only* Unicode

or in other words, put this at the top of your file (where utf-8 is

The problem is that:

PyParsing and Headaches
Hi,
I'm trying to construct a parser, but I'm stuck with some basic
stuff... For example, I want to match the following:
letter = A...Z | a...z
literal = letter+
include_bool := + | -
term = [include_bool] literal
So I defined this as:
literal = Word(alphas)
include_bool = Optional(oneOf(+ -))
term = include_bool + literal
The problem is that:
term.parseString(+a) - (['+', 'a'], {}) # OK
term.parseString(+ a) - (['+', 'a'], {}) # KO. It shouldn't
recognize any token since I didn't said the SPACE was allowed between
include_bool and literal.
Can anyone give me an hand here?
Cheers!
Hugo Ferreira
BTW, the following is the complete grammar I'm trying to implement with
pyparsing:
## L ::= expr | expr L
## expr ::= term | binary_expr
## binary_expr ::= term binary_op term
## binary_op ::= * | OR | AND
## include_bool ::= + | -
## term ::= ([include_bool] [modifier :] (literal | range)) | (~
literal)
## modifier ::= (letter | _)+
## literal ::= word | quoted_words
## quoted_words ::= '' word ( word)* ''
## word ::= (letter | digit | _)+
## number ::= digit+
## range ::= number (.. | ...) number
## letter ::= A...Z | a...z
## digit ::= 0...9
And this is where I got so far:
word = Word(nums + alphas + _)
binary_op = oneOf(* and or, caseless=True).setResultsName(operator)
include_bool = oneOf(+ -)
literal = (word | quotedString).setResultsName(literal)
modifier = Word(alphas + _)
rng = Word(nums) + (Literal(..) | Literal(...)) + Word(nums)
term = ((Optional(include_bool) + Optional(modifier + :) + (literal |
rng)) | (~ + literal)).setResultsName(Term)
binary_expr = (term + binary_op + term).setResultsName(binary)
expr = (binary_expr | term).setResultsName(Expr)

regex i have written is
re.compile
(r'(\d+?)\|((P|O|Q)\w{5})\|\w{3,6}\_\w{3,5}\s+?.{25}\s{3}(\d+?\.\d)\s+?(\d\.\d+?)')
I am trying to extract 0.0011 value from the above line.
why doesnt it match the group(4) item of the match ?
any idea whats wrong with it ?

Some general comments:
1. There has been at least one thread on the subject of ripping accents
off Latin1 characters in the last 3 or 4 months. Try Google.
2. About your earlier problem, when len(thing1) != len(thing2):
In that and similar situations, it can be *very* useful to use this
technique:
print repr(thing1), type(thing1)
print repr(thing2), type(thing2)
Go back now and try it out!
OK,
How would you handle the string.maketrans then ?
I suggest that you first read the documentation on the str and unicode
translate methods.
You can obtain this quickly at the interactive prompt by doing
help(''.translate)
and
help(u''.translate)
respectively.
Next steps:
Is your *real* data (not the examples you were hard-coding earlier)
encoded (latin1, utf8) in str objects or is it in unicode objects?
After reading previous posts my head is spinning I'm not going to
guess; you determine it yourself.
[pseudocode -- blend of Pythonic Knuthian styles]
if latin1: (A) you can use string.maketrans and str.translate
immediately.
elif unicode: (B) either (1) encode to latin1; goto (A) or (2) use
unicode.translate with do-it-yourself mapping
elif utf8: decode to unicode; goto (B)
else: ???
HTH,
John

So i don't really understand why would one remove it from python. It's a friendly, tiny, simple, standard protocol. The devolopers thought that perhaps gopherlib was unused in new or updated-to-new releases code. Even if it is by a few, there is still the question of whether gopherlib should be in the stdlib in preference to modules that would be useful to more people or whether it should be a downloadable module at PyPI. The latter would require someone to take ownership of it. You might consider posting a note on py dev (easily accessible via gmane) to let them know there is at least one current user.

Well, your .{25}\s{3} portion only gets you to one space short
of your 29.9, so your (\d+... fails to match 29.9 because
there's an extra space there. My guess (from only one datum, so
this could be /way/ off base) would be that you mean \s{4} or
possibly \s{3,4}
It seems like a very overconstrained regexp, but it might be just
what you need to isolate the single line (or class of line)
amongst the chaff of thousand others of similar form.
