ANN: M2Crypto 0.17
M2Crypto is the most complete Python wrapper for OpenSSL.
Homepage: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/MeTooCrypto
Changes in 0.17:
- setup.py has new test command to run unit tests (requires setuptools)
- Added m2urllib2, by James Bowes (python 2.4 and later, at least for now)
- Added CONNECT proxy for httpslib and m2urllib2, by James Bowes
- Added PKey.get_modulus, X509.get_fingerprint, X509_Name.as_der and
m2.bn_to_hex, by Thomas Uram
- Prevent Connection.makefile from freeing bio redundantly, by Thomas Uram
- Added Err.peek_error_code, by Thomas Uram
- Fixed m2urllib.open_https to return the response headers, otherwise
code that relied on that would break (for example msnlib-3.5), by Arno
Bakker
- Fixed twisted wrapper to work with 16kb BIO buffers, by Martin Paljak
- Added support for remaining ECs, by Larry Bugbee
- Fixed DSA.save_key and DSA_.save_pub_key, by Larry Bugbee

capath are both None
- Fixed X509.check_purpose() (was always raising exceptions)
- smime_read_pkcs7 was changed to automatically call
BIO_set_mem_eof_return on memory BIOs because otherwise the read would
fail with SMIME_Error: not enough data
- X509.new_extension('subjectKeyIdentifier', 'hash') raises ValueError
instead of crashing Python

Re: tkFileDialog closes main application

Hello,
I wish to collect 4 files from a user. So I have decided to use
tkFileDialog askopenfilename. My problem is that after a few file
selections the root window is destroyed (the whole program just
dissappears)
I tested the code below on Linux with Python 2.1 and tcl/tk 8.3.4 and it
works perfectly.
I have created a simple example and was able to reproduce the same thing
with this. I've just started using tkinter so I have no idea what I may
be doing wrong. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
If you run the following code, just click the Browse button, and select
a file. Do this repeatedly and for me after the sixth or seventh time
the window shuts down.
Is there any error when this happens? Have you tried running your script
from a DOS command window?
BTW, I'm using python 2.4 on Windows XP. Thank you for any help.
How do you select your files? I occasionally see problems on Windows when
a window is closed via a double-click: the last 'button release' event for
the double-click is not consumed by the dialog, but sent to the window
behind it. Could it be what happens? If you select your files with a
double-click and if the mouse cursor just happens to be on the close
button for your main window behind it, you may involuntarily close the
main window when selecting the file. Please try to select the files and
then press the 'Open' button to see if the problem still happens.
Here is a tiny modification to your code to print a message when the
window is closed via its close button:
from Tkinter import *
import Pmw
import tkFileDialog
import os.path
filepath = 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\admin\\Desktop\\'
class App(Frame):
def __init__(self,master):
Frame.__init__(self, master, bg='gray')
self.enttxt = StringVar()
lbl = Label(self,text='File 1:')
lbl.grid(row = 0,column = 0,sticky = W,padx = 5,pady = 5)
self.e1 = Entry(self,textvariable = self.enttxt,width = 50)
self.e1.grid(row = 0,column = 1,columnspan = 3,sticky = W,padx

command = self.browse)
btn.grid(row = 0,column = 4,sticky=W,padx=5,pady=5)
master.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW', self.doQuit)
def doQuit(self):
print 'Closed by the WM!'
self.quit()
def browse(self):
fileformats = [('Text File ','*.csv'),
('All Files ','*.*')]
retval = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(title='Choose File',

filetypes=fileformats,
parent = self)
if retval:
self.enttxt.set(os.path.abspath(retval))
def main():
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
root.title('test')
root.configure(bg='gray')
app = App(root)
app.pack()
root.update()
root.deiconify()
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
BTW, why do you create a sub-class of Frame for your application? Why not
create a sub-class of Tk instead?

Re: a question on python dict
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Thank you very much for your explanation!
I made a mistake that I said the hash value should be recalculated
each time the dict resize, what I wanted to say was that the position

Maybe I should take a look at the source code of python dict some day.
I'll some here for help then.
In your original message you said:
I think this will waste some time doing the increasing-copying thing.
If I know I'm going to handle about 2 items, I can set the size of
hashtable to 3.
Have you actually tried timing how much time is wasted doing this? 2
items really isn't very many for a dictionary to handle.
I ran a quick test to see how long it takes to create a dictionary with
2 items. Remember, as has been explained to you, the items are not
copied, nor are the hash values recalculated when the dictionary is
resized, so if your dictionary takes much longer to create than the test
below gives you (on your machine that is rather than mine), then the
problem lies elsewhere. e.g. a slow hash function, or the time taken to
create whatever you are storing in the dictionary.
Just creating the dictionary with no other Python overhead:
timeit.py -s import random; r = [ random.random() for i in range(2)]
d = dict.fromkeys(r)
100 loops, best of 3: 11.3 msec per loop
Creating the dictionary using a Python for loop:
timeit.py -s import random; r = [ random.random() for i in range(2)]
d={} for k in r: d[k] = None
100 loops, best of 3: 11.7 msec per loop
Assigning to the elements in a pre-populated (and therefore the right
size) dictionary:
timeit.py -s import random; r = [ random.random() for i in range(2)];
d=dict.fromkeys(r) for k in r: d[k] = None
100 loops, best of 3: 10.1 msec per loop
How many times do you create this dictionary that shaving 1.5 milliseconds
off 11 millseconds matters to you?
FWIW, for a 2,000,000 element dictionary the times are 2.5s and 1.48s
respectively so the situation does get progressively worse as dictionaries
get very large.

That's a very inefficient way to spend both yours and others' time. Do your homework first by reading one of the several free tutorials online and come back when you have trouble with something specific you didn't understand. To be perfectly fair, searching for information about decorators if you don't know what they are called is kind of hard. Searching for information about the '@' character in the Python documentation doesn't lead to much. The CherryPy tutorial does at least mention this decorator, just not in any meaningful way: Exposing objects CherryPy maps URL requests to objects and calls the suitable method automatically. The methods that can be called as a result of external requests are said to be exposed. Objects are exposed in CherryPy by setting the exposed attribute. This an be done directly on the object itself: object.exposed = True. Methods can also be exposed using a special decorator: Why this distinction? The distinction between published and exposed objects may seem silly or unnecessary at first. By definition, all exposed objects are also published, so why do we need to care about non-exposed objects? To the OP: do i have to write @cherrypy.exposed before every def or just once for all the def's ? Before every def that you wish to expose, which won't be all of them. and why not write something like @index.exposed ? because that isn't how it works. cherrypy.exposed is a decorator, which means it is a function that takes a function as an argument modifies it in some way and returns the modified function as its result. in other words i have no idea what @ actually does i only know i have too write it to make it work :) Am guessing @ is something like prototyping in javascript but then def index is not a object but a method ? So that would not make sense ? @expr def fn(...): ... is exactly equivalent to: def fn(...): ... fn = (expr)(fn) except that at the point when the decorator is called the function has not yet been assigned to the name 'fn'. (Also remember that def is an executable statement so it happens when the line containing the def is execfuted, and that names assigned to functions are just like other variable names and can be rebound at will.) oh and self stands more or less for private method right ? if you have to ask that question about 'self' you really do need to read some introductory texts on Python. Methods get passed their instance as their first parameter (usually this is implicit in the call, but it is always explicitly shown in the method) and self is simply the conventional name. Many other languages use 'this' instead of self and make the passing of 'this' implicit inside the method as well as outside. There are good reasons why it is explicit in Python, but just remember that the first parameter a method receives is always the instance and you won't go far wrong. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It looks like you are trying to de-hyphenate words that have been
broken across line breaks.
Well, this isn't a regexp solution, it uses pyparsing instead. But
I've added a number of other test cases which may be problematic for an
re.

There is no way to quickly scroll the tabs and select the one that I want. Tabs simply run out of my screen. Normally with ctrl-tab, ctrl-shift-tab, ctrl-f6 ctrl-shift-f6 (at least on windows) This does not work for me. I'm using these: OS: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE Python: 2.4.3 wxPython: 2.6.3.3 SPE: 0.8.2a I also saw big problems with DrPython on wxPython: 2.6.3.3 and Ubuntu. Maybe I should use 0.8.0, but this would be difficult. My SPE was installed using the ports system of my OS and I do not want to screw it up. 2. I tried to use the Browser for navigation but it tells me file is already open and it won't switch to the file. Annoying. What version do you have? on 0.8.0b on Windows, it jumps to the tab, if the file is already open. Does not work for me! I'm getting messages like this: python:3255): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion `GTK_IS_TOOLBARcontainer) || widget-parent == GTK_WIDGETcontainer)' failed python:3255): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_container_remove: assertion `GTK_IS_TOOLBARcontainer) || widget-parent == GTK_WIDGETcontainer)' failed Same similar error messages with DrPy. I would try to update to a higher wxPython version and/or reporting this to the wxPython user mailing list. I'm not sure what it means, but maybe the problem is not in SPE or DrPython - it is with wxWidgets or GTK ? I suspect so. In DrPython you have a plugin Sessions or SessionsLight for that. Okay, I know that DrPython has lots of plugins. I tried to install some of them but the important ones did not work and I gave up. But it takes two minutes to start up SPE, because I have to press the OK button on the ISO8859-1 message for each file that is re-opened. This must be a problem with wxHtmlWindow because I get the same message when I start the wxPython demo. I'm upgrading wxPython right now, but I'm not sure if it will help. SPE requires 2.6.1 and I already have a newer version. (DrPython does not use wxHtmlWindow, this is why it does not throw error messages.) I would comment out the wxPython versions check in spe for trying out. In DrPython, there is also a Code Completions plugin. It is not perfect, but still useful. I tried to install it on FreeBSD but it did not work. I tried it on Windows and turned out that code completion in DrPython it is much worse than in SPE. Yes, I know! :( This is also a future task. I'm missing code folding as well. DrPython is better for me right now, because it works. :-) Code folding should work in DrPython. Preferences = File types and click folding check box, then the folding menu in View menu should work. It is on our todo list for Drpython. I plan on January or February to make a thorough test on Linux. BTW: For that I'm (we're) looking for tester and developer for all that things. But none of them are practical nor easy to use. SPE would be better if it worked. I wanted to buy the Wing IDE, but their support team said it is not available for FreeBSD. They allow me to compile it from sources but it is a mess. I would have to sign an NDA and spend hours with compiling it, and it would still not be a supported platform. It is just too much work. Komodo does not work on FreeBSD at all. Also tried boaconstructor, but it was very unstable. If I would like to have a good IDE for Python that knows a lot (code completion, code folding, class browser, integrated debugger, call tips, subversion integration etc.) then what choices I have? Did you try already Eric3 (with PyQt). Looks very nice and stable and has a lot of features. I don't want to persuade to use this or that, but a closer look to the plugins will reveal the hidden features of DrPython, and plugins prevent DrPython to become to bloated. I'm sorry, I do not want to be offensive. No, no problem at all! :) DrPython is good, but it is not a complete IDE. I see, it isn't intended to be that also. I would happily pay for a good IDE but I cannot find one (not for FreeBSD). Maybe the problem is with my mind and I should replace my OS immediately. :-) Good Luck for finding your preferred editor and IDE.

[ANNOUNCE] pygtkmvc version 1.0.0 has been released
Hi all, I'm proud to announce that the first stable release 1.0.0 of pygtkmvc has been released. ** pygtkmvc version 1.0.0 ** pygtkmvc is a fully Python-based implementation of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Observer patterns for the PyGTK2 toolkit. MVC is a pattern that can be successfully used to design and develop well structured GUI applications. The MVC pattern basically helps in separating semantics and data of the application from their representation. The Observer pattern helps to weaken dependencies among parts that should be separated, but need to be connected each other. pygtkmvc provides a powerful and still simple infrastructure to help designing and implement GUI applications based on the MVC and Observer patterns. ** Features ** The framework has been designed to be: - Essential and small, it does only what it was designed for. - Not an external dependency for your application: it fits in 80KB and can be released along with it. - Easy to understand and to use; fully documented. - Portable: straightly runs under many platforms. Version 1.0.0 is the first stable release. Main features are: - Observer pattern supports pythonian containers and user-defined classes. - Support for multi-threading in models. - Support for gtk models like TreeModel and TextBuffer. - Bug fixes. - Documentation and several examples are provided. ** Get it! ** Latest version and information can be found at the project home page: http://pygtkmvc.sourceforge.net License is LGPL. ** Credits ** Many thanks to: - Baruch Even baruch _AT_ ev-en.org for providing useful feedback and a pretty example. - Johannes Jordens j.jordens _AT_ ucl.ac.uk and Robert Jordens jordens _AT_ debian.org for depeloping and maintaining Debian packages. -- Roberto Cavada -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

it's made entirely of SRAM cells of ~9bits. Sometimes these cells are
used as storage, sometimes their contents represent logic circuits and
the routing between them is configured to form them into a processor.

Reachable memory is the set of interpreter objects (conses, closures, scopes,
atoms and what have you) reachable from from some appropriately defined root
set. It can be unambiguously defined with respect to a virtual machine, with
no
regard to how actual implementations represent these things.
For actual memory use, a simple byte count would do fine. If code and data are
intermingled, just use the combined size of both of them.
If you're worried about comparing incompatible units, don't be: apples and
oranges compare just fine under big-Oh.

Well, in my example the code, the data and the processor are
intermingled. Still you could do it this way. But, what would happen
for example if on a normal machine someone wrote a program that
generated lots of functions that it never used, would it have to be
detected by the GC. This is hard to do. The solution is probably to
define the root set only in terms of data.
If you're worried about comparing incompatible units, don't be: apples and

Yes. Thank you for comprehensively out-arguing me.
I'll give one last reason why it may not be a good thing to define:
reference counting. Some people want to use refcounts, and believe
that under certain circumstances they provide better performance than
GC. I don't know if they're right, I suspect they are for some limited
circumstances. A normal ref-count system can't be gauranteed to have
no memory holes introduced by loops in the data. But, if the
programmer causes no loops to come into being then he/she is safe. An
implementation that used refcounting might not be of much general use,
but for specific purposes, embedded programming for example, it might
be useful.

Re: urllib.unquote and unicode

How to distribute an additional DLL to site-packages?
Dear Python experts,
I am writing a python extension module that needs to link with a
third-party DLL. How can I copy this DLL to the site-packages directory
along with my extension modules? It seems that data_files parameter can
do this, but I do not know how to get the absolute destination
directory. After all, this directory is configurable.
I guess I need to determine /path/to/site-package for
setup(
...
ext_modules = [...]
data_files = [ ('/path/to/site-package', ['mydll.dll]) ]
)
using something like distutil.config.get_dest_dir().

13 second delay using select() with Popen3()
hi all...
I wrote a seemingly simple function (below) to use Popen3() and select()
to run a program and capture its exit status, stdout output, and stderr
output.
It worked fine until the box was upgraded to Debian sarge.
Now the call to select() always takes about 13 seconds before returning
the first time.
The delay only occurs when the function is running within a CGI program
invoked by Apache (v2.2).
If I run the same thing from a shell in the same environment, there is
no delay.
The correct result is always returned; the only problem is the 13-second
delay.
The command passed as cmd runs a bash script which looks at some local
files and prints one line of output and then does exit 0.
Python is v2.4.4 (can't use 2.5 because I am using Zope which doesn't
support it yet).
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice about whether I got the
select loop wrong somehow, or what else might be wrong. Thanks!!

Building python C++ extension modules using MS VC++ 2005?

Things become complicated when I use more and more boost libraries and mingw can not work well with some of the modules.

Why can't you use varargs and keyword arguments together?
I've always wondered why I can't do:
def foo(a,b,c):
return a,b,c
args = range(2)
foo(*args, c = 2)
When you can do:
foo(*args, **{'c':2})
Whenever I stub my toe on this one, I always just use the second
approach, which seems less readable. As with most things in Python,
I've suspected there's a good reason for it. Having just bumped into
this one again, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows why the first syntax
should not be allowed.
This comes up anyplace you need variable arguments and keyword
arguments together but don't have the keyword arguemnts in a dict. In
this case you are forced to put them in a dict. I don't think anyone
would find that to be more readable.
Thanks and Merry Christmas,

I guess I either need to put the icon in as a resource or figure out

If you specify it as icon (--icon to Makespec), it means you want it as icon
of the executable.
If you just want to add it as an additional data file, read the manual about
that. It will be extracted to the runtime directory and you should be able to
access it through _MEIPASS2 (manual should be clear about that). You can't
just read it from the current directory because the current directory is

Re: Building python C++ extension modules using MS VC++ 2005?
You can use 2005 to build extensions for Python 2.5. I've done this with several extensions, both my own and others. I do not know if you can use it for Python 2.4, so I won't advise you on that. I thought Microsoft made its C/C++ compiler, version 7.1 (2003) freely available as a command line tool. If you can't find it on their site, ask around, I'm sure a lot of people have it. Probably you'll also find someone has put it up somewhere if you search on google. Try 2005 first and see what happens though. -Sandra -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: regular expression
Also regular expressions are (pretty much) universal accross a ton of languages... even search engines now provide some support for regular expressions... I know its a bit of a headache, but keep trying to learn it mate. Once you have it wrapped you will never look back.

Re: Building python C++ extension modules using MS VC++ 2005?
Sure you can build extensions for Python2.4 with VS2005, I've always done this way. And with Pyrex it is very very easy. Make sure to have a look at Pyrex: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: tkFileDialog closes main application
Thanks for the reply.
I used your modified code to test. I ran the code on Windows Python 2.4
tcl/tk 8.4. When I opened the ui I:
1) click browse button
2) file dialog opens and I double click the file. When I do this, the
selected file path is entered in Entry field. I don't need to close
dialog, it closes automatically.
3) click browse button again
4) double click file
5) repeat
sometimes it only takes one time to kill root, sometimes a few more.
After I killed root with the double clicks I then tried with a click
browse - select file - click open button very slowly making sure I
didn't double click and the same thing happened - root was destroyed.
BTW, with your modified code, the Closed by the WM was not displayed
to console.
Hmmm? I think this must just be peculiar to Windows. Can any other
windows users test to see if they can reproduce?
thanks again for your response.

Hello,
I wish to collect 4 files from a user. So I have decided to use
tkFileDialog askopenfilename. My problem is that after a few file
selections the root window is destroyed (the whole program just
dissappears)
I tested the code below on Linux with Python 2.1 and tcl/tk 8.3.4 and
it works perfectly.
I have created a simple example and was able to reproduce the same
thing with this. I've just started using tkinter so I have no idea
what I may be doing wrong. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
If you run the following code, just click the Browse button, and
select a file. Do this repeatedly and for me after the sixth or
seventh time the window shuts down.
Is there any error when this happens? Have you tried running your
script from a DOS command window?
BTW, I'm using python 2.4 on Windows XP. Thank you for any help.
How do you select your files? I occasionally see problems on Windows
when a window is closed via a double-click: the last 'button release'
event for the double-click is not consumed by the dialog, but sent to
the window behind it. Could it be what happens? If you select your
files with a double-click and if the mouse cursor just happens to be on
the close button for your main window behind it, you may involuntarily
close the main window when selecting the file. Please try to select the
files and then press the 'Open' button to see if the problem still
happens.
Here is a tiny modification to your code to print a message when the
window is closed via its close button:
from Tkinter import *
import Pmw
import tkFileDialog
import os.path
filepath = 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\admin\\Desktop\\'
class App(Frame):
def __init__(self,master):
Frame.__init__(self, master, bg='gray')
self.enttxt = StringVar()
lbl = Label(self,text='File 1:')
lbl.grid(row = 0,column = 0,sticky = W,padx = 5,pady = 5)
self.e1 = Entry(self,textvariable = self.enttxt,width = 50)
self.e1.grid(row = 0,column = 1,columnspan = 3,sticky =
W,padx = 5,pady = 5)
btn = Button(self,text='Browse ...',width = 12,
command = self.browse)
btn.grid(row = 0,column = 4,sticky=W,padx=5,pady=5)
master.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW', self.doQuit)
def doQuit(self):
print 'Closed by the WM!'
self.quit()
def browse(self):
fileformats = [('Text File ','*.csv'),
('All Files ','*.*')]
retval = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(title='Choose File',
initialdir=filepath,
filetypes=fileformats,
parent = self)
if retval:
self.enttxt.set(os.path.abspath(retval))
def main():
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
root.title('test')
root.configure(bg='gray')
app = App(root)
app.pack()
root.update()
root.deiconify()
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
BTW, why do you create a sub-class of Frame for your application? Why
not create a sub-class of Tk instead?

Re: PythonCard Auto Placement
Brandon McGinty wrote: Hi All, I'm getting started with pythoncard. I'm wondering if there is any way to auto-place the gui elements that I use, so that they are all visible, and aligned? I would use the layout/resource editors, but I'm blind, so I can't see where the elements end up, and the controls for moving don't show up as usable controls in my screen reader. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Much, Brandon McGinty The first part to your quesion is easy. Pythoncard uses a very simple resource file format (just a plain vanilla Python dictionary) and so one can simply write a Python that outputs the resource file and automate the process. The second part to your question might be harder. Are you saying the Pythoncard controls don't show up as usable controls in your screen reader, or the ones in the resource editor? If it's the latter, you can simply use the method I described and automatically create the resource file. I am very familiar with Pythoncard and don't mind helping if I can but I don't have any experience with screen reader. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: removing the header from a gzip'd string

No. The first 2 bytes (or more if using a preset dictionary) are header information. The last 4 bytes are for checksum. In-between lies the encoded bit stream. Using the default options (deflate, default compression level, no custom dictionary) will make those first two bytes 0x78 0x9c. If you want to encrypt a compressed text, you must remove redundant information first. Knowing part of the clear message is a security hole. Using an structured container (like a zip/rar/... file) gets worse because the fixed (or guessable) part is longer, but anyway, 2 bytes may be bad enough.

I'm sure it could do the job, but if the sole function is to be an IO relay, I would use a lower level language like C.

Re: Is there any python-twisted tutorial or texts?
I want to study twisted of python . But I donot know how to start. Any suggistions? There is a book about using Twisted. It's called 'Twisted Network Programming Essentials.' It is an entry-level book at best, but it does go over quite a lot of things that the Twisted library is capable of. Well, the book is not that good. It completely fails to explain deferreds which are a central concept in Twisted. I only understood deferreds when watching Bob Ippolitos screencast about Mochikit which implements the same API as Twisted... Then I got back to the Twisted book. I think it needs more work. -- damjan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
