But, you must admit, of all the things people complain about with Python, the % formatting is probably one of the least common complaints. Complaints about Python's speed seem much more common. Yet, 3.0 makes the speed worse, and fixes a non-problem. A few points: 1) The new formatting is NOT the reason for the speed slowdown. So this change at least was a no cost change. No cost to interpreter speed, and no cost as it doesn't replace the old sprintf style. Of all the things to complain about in python 3.0, the format method is the silliest. 2) In my experience, major version changes tend to be slower than before. When a lot of things change, especially if very low-level things change, as happened in python 3.0, the new code has not yet went through many years of revision and optimization that the old code has. In my opinion, python 3 was rushed out the door a bit. It could have done with a few more months of optimization and polishing.

I appreciate your response. Thank you.
After reading your reply, I realized this must be related to the fact
that I am running this script on Google App Engine.
It turns out, App Engine does not allow direct socket communication so
urllib is not allowed.
Instead they provide their own library called urlfetch. So my script
should look something like this:
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch
print 'Content-Type: text/plain'
print ''
result = urlfetch.fetch('http://www.google.com/google_logo.jpg')
print result.content
I haven't been able to get it to work yet but at least I'm heading in
the right direction now. I'll keep digging. Thanks!

[...] Python *could* do something similar if the appropriate opcodes/methods supported more than two arguments: a+b+c+d might execute a.__add__(b,c,d) allowing more efficient string concatenations or matrix operations, and a%b%c%d might execute as a.__mod__(b,c,d). That's only plausible if the operations are associative. Addition is associative, but string interpolation is not: %%%s % (%s % b) '%b' (%%%s % %s) % b Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting Since string interpolation isn't associative, your hypothetical __mod__ method might take multiple arguments, but it would have to deal with them two at a time, unlike concatenation where the compiler could do them all at once. So whether __mod__ takes two arguments or many is irrelevant: its implementation must rely on some other function which takes two arguments and must succeed or fail on that. Either that, or we change the design of % interpolation, and allow it to silently ignore errors. I assumed that is what Aaron wanted. In that alternate universe your example: %i %i %i %i % 5 % 3 %7 simply throws TypeError: not enough arguments for format string That has a disturbing consequence. Consider that most (all?) operations, we can use temporary values: x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = x == 10 gives the same value for x as: temp = 1 + 2 + 3 x = temp + 4 I would expect that the same should happen for % interpolation: # using Aaron's hypothetical syntax s = %s.%s.%s.%s % 1 % 2 % 3 % 4 = 1.2.3.4 should give the same result as: temp = %s.%s.%s.%s % 1 % 2 % 3 s = temp % 4 But you're arguing that the first version should succeed and the second version, using a temporary value, should fail. And that implies that if you group part of the expression in parentheses, it will fail as well: s = (%s.%s.%s.%s % 1 % 2 % 3) % 4 Remove the parentheses, and it succeeds. That's disturbing. That makes the % operator behave very differently from other operators. Note that with the current syntax, we don't have that problem: short- supplying arguments leads to an exception no matter what. %s % (1,2,3) just converts the tuple as a single argument. It also provides the answer to how you put a percent in the format string (double it) I trust you know that already works, but just in case: %g%% % 12.5 '12.5%' and what happens if a substitution inserts a percent (it doesn't interact with the formatting operators). Ditto: %s % %g '%g' -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes. Methods are attributes too. And __getattribute__ is the attribute lookup operator implementation - it is invoked *everytime* you have obj.attr or getattr(obj, attr) or hasattr(obj, attr). IOW, you'd better *not* touch it unless 1/ you really know what you're doing, 2/ you have a very compelling reason to do so and 3/ you're ok to pay the performance hit (the default implementation in 'object' being optimized). or if i set __getattribute__ , i cannot have methods in class? Yes, you can. But you have to write a proper implementation of __getattribute__. The one above will prevent you from accessing any class or instance attribute (or, more exactly, will always return None). actually my aim is to trap all method calls and keep a counter which is update whenever method called or returned. how should i go about it? Using __getattribute__, you'll only get at the method when it is looked up (which doesn't imply it will be called). If you want to log calls and returns, you'll have to wrap the method in a decorator. You can do this either manually (ie manually adding the logger decorator on methods), via monkeypatching on class objects (but this can be tricky too), or adding a properly implemented version of __getattribute__ (but this won't work if the method is looked up on the class itself) # a QD method call logger def log(meth): if hasattr(meth, logged): # already wrapped return meth def logged(*args, **kw): if hasattr(meth, im_self): # wrapping a method what = method %s % meth else: # wrapping a function, 'self' or 'cls' is the first arg what = method %s of object %s % (meth, args[0]) print %s called with %s %s % (what, str(args), kw) try: result = meth(*args, **kw) except Exception, e: print %s raised %s % (what, e) raise else: print %s returned %s % (what, str(result)) return result logged.logged = True return logged # manual decoration class Foo(object): @log def bar(self): pass # using __getattribute__ class Foo(object): def bar(self): pass def __getattribute__(self, name): attr = super(Foo2, self).__getattribute__(name) if hasattr(attr, im_self): attr = log(attr) return attr Given the shortcomings of the __getattribute__ version (performance hit and only triggered on instance lookup), I'd strongly suggest the manual decoration - possibly using a flag (global setting or environment variable) to switch it off, ie: if globals().get(DEBUG, False): def log(func): def logged(*args, **kw): # wrapping a function # we assume this function is used as a method, so # 'self' or 'cls' is the first arg what = method %s of object %s % (func, args[0]) print %s called with %s %s % (what, str(args), kw) try: result = func(*args, **kw) except Exception, e: print %s raised %s % (what, e) raise print %s returned %s % (what, str(result)) return result return logged else: def log(func): # no-op return func NB : all this is pretty QD and mostly untested, but it should get you started.

Dollars earned per hour spent writing in Python is a good candidate. There are two modes in that distribution. One at 0, the other in the tens or hundreds.

Re: Python is slow
With my current experience with java, python and perl, I can only suggest one thing to who ever feels that python or any language is slow. By the way there is only one language with is fastest and that is assembly. And with regards to python, I am writing pritty heavy duty applications right now. Just to mention I am totally blind and I use a screen reader called orca on the gnome desktop. I hope readers here can understand that a screen reader has to do a lot of real-time information processing and respond with lightenning speed. And Orca the scree reader is coded totally in python.

Twisted for non-networking applications
Hi all, Is it a good idea to use Twisted inside my application, even though it has no networking part in it? Basically, my application needs lots of parallel processing - but I am rather averse to using threads - due to myraid issues it can cause. So, I was hoping to use a reactor pattern to avoid the threads. I am using twisted in another part of the application for networking, so I was hoping to use the same for the non-networking part for reusing the reactor pattern. If somebody can help me on this, it would be very helpful. Regards K -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Are python objects thread-safe?
Say, I have two threads, updating the same dictionary object - but for
different parameters:
Please find an example below:
a = {file1Data : '',
file2Data : ''}
Now, I send it to two different threads, both of which are looping
infinitely:
In thread1:
a['file1Data'] = open(filename1).read
and
in thread2:
a['file2Data'] = open(filename2).read
My question is - is this object threadsafe? - since we are working on
two different parameters in the object. Or should I have to block the
whole object?

Patrick Mullen schrieb: 2) In my experience, major version changes tend to be slower than before. When a lot of things change, especially if very low-level things change, as happened in python 3.0, the new code has not yet went through many years of revision and optimization that the old code has. In my opinion, python 3 was rushed out the door a bit. It could have done with a few more months of optimization and polishing. However, on the other hand, it is going to take so long for python infrastructure to convert to python 3, that an earlier release makes sense, even if it hasn't been excessively polished. The biggest reason for the speed change is the rewritten stdio and unicode-everything. Hopefully this stuff can be improved in future updates. I don't think anyone WANTS cpython to be slower. The 3.0 release targets third party developers. Authors of 3rd party extensions and libraries need a stable API to port their software to a new major release. The main objective was feature completeness and stability. If you need speed either stick to the 2.x series or wait until 3.1 is out. We could have waited a few more months or even a few more years with a 3.0 release. There is always - I repeat ALWAYS - work to do.

noob trouble with IDLE
Hi, Im new to python and I've just started using Byte of Python, running the samples etc. Im using IDLE on Xp. Ok, here's the thing. A sample script makes a call to the os.system() function in order to zip some files. Everything works fine when running from the command line, but the same code fails when I try Run -- Run module on IDLE. Im using 7z to zip the files. Again, everything is OK when running from the command line. Remember, Im new to python and programming. I've done some google search without results. Maybe its just too simple :-( . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Threads take turns with the Global Interpreter Lock, so a Python
thread is sure to have the GIL before it calls a method on some
object. So yes, with the rare exception (that I don't want to not
mention) that if you've got non-Python threads running in your process
somehow, they don't make the guarantee of enforcing that.

Since that to create a ripemd-160 hash there is to use:

it looks that isn't possible
For HMAC-SHA256 would be:
-
import hashlib
import hmac
hm = hmac.new('key', msg='message', digestmod=hashlib.sha256)
Untested, but should work according to the docs:

Correct.
'f %= 1' doesn't work any more as in-place modulo, since one time, 'f'
is a Format object, the other, 'f' is a string. Just raise an
exception for that (or assign to __class__ IINM if I'm not mistaken).

return C2()
class C2(object):
def __mod__(self, value):
return C2()
f = C1()

__main__.C2 object at 0x00D143F0

f = f % (2, 3, 4)
type(f)

Or, as someone suggested earlier, a new literal marking:
Yes, I suggested that earlier, but it isn't needed because you can
create a format object with Format(string). However, most of the time
you won't bother to create a format object explicitly because of:
class str(object):
def __mod__(self, value):
return Format(self) % value
f = f%r %i
type(f)
type 'Format'
# Explicitly
f = Format(%r %i)
f
Format '%r %i'
f % (2, 3, 4)
Format '(2, 3, 4) %i'
# Implicitly, relying on the __mod__ method of str
f = %r %i
f
'%r %i'
f % (2, 3, 4)
Format '(2, 3, 4) %i'
I'd also like to add that there's nothing to prevent format objects from
having other methods where multiple placeholders can be filled in one call:
# By position
f = Format(%r %i)
f
Format '%r %i'
f.fill([(2, 3, 4), 1])
'(2, 3, 4) 1'
# By name
f = Format(%{tuple}r %{int}i)
f
Format '%{tuple}r %{int}i'
f.fill({tuple: (2, 3, 4), int: 1})
'(2, 3, 4) 1'

I appreciate your response. Thank you.
After reading your reply, I realized this must be related to the fact
that I am running this script on Google App Engine.
It turns out, App Engine does not allow direct socket communication so
urllib is not allowed.
Instead they provide their own library called urlfetch. So my script
should look something like this:
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch
print 'Content-Type: text/plain'
print ''
result = urlfetch.fetch('http://www.google.com/google_logo.jpg')
print result.content
I haven't been able to get it to work yet but at least I'm heading in
the right direction now. I'll keep digging. Thanks!
You might also want to bear in mind that at least for me the content
that this URL returns is HTML with embedded javascript, and not the JPEG
you were expecting. That's because the URL gives a 404 response.
This might be a seasonal thing: right now they are showing a Happy
Holidays motif on their front page.

it globals() it doesn't understand the args, which come from within the

What's a good way to do this kind of thing?
Put everything in your own namespace
myvars={}
for name in namelist:
myvars[name]=func(name,args)
Likely I'm missing something, but don't I still have to do
var1 = myvars['var1']
var2 = myvars['var2']
var3 = myvars['var3']

to make the assignments?
And of course I am missing the fact that I can now do the exec loop over
myvars{} in the local namespace.
Doing this, however, exposed some behaviour that surprises me. Inside my
generator, doing:
exec('foo = 7') in locals()
print foo
foo = 3
produces an UnboundLocalError. In case it's relevant, the error I get inside
the generator if I don't specify local()s is:
SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'sequence_engine' it
contains a nested function with free variables
But doing the same thing in a simple test generator, even if it calls outside
functions, works as I expect.
Removing any subsequent reassignments of the same name fixes the error, and as
it happens I can do this, but I'm curious, without me posting the whole
generator (it's long), why doesn't the above exec() assignment work in that

I assume you meant '%i 1' since there are no more flags in f, and it's
returned to a regular string.
Correct.
'f %= 1' doesn't work any more as in-place modulo, since one time, 'f'
is a Format object, the other, 'f' is a string. Just raise an
exception for that (or assign to __class__ IINM if I'm not mistaken).
All assignments rebind, even the augmented form:
class C1(object):
def __mod__(self, value):
return C2()
class C2(object):
def __mod__(self, value):
return C2()
f = C1()
f
__main__.C1 object at 0x00D144F0
f % 0
__main__.C2 object at 0x00D143F0
f %= 0
f
__main__.C2 object at 0x00D145B0
Actually, the class you showed is kind of nifty. Tuples are correctly
interpolated. I think on the whole you'll use more parenthesis, since
each term in the tuple appears separately, and might be an expression
(have a lower-precedence op.), as well as more modulo signs.
You can currently do-it-yourself, you just need a constructor in the
format string.
f = Format(%r %i)
type(f)
type 'Format'
f = f % (2, 3, 4)
type(f)
type 'Format'
Or, as someone suggested earlier, a new literal marking:
Yes, I suggested that earlier, but it isn't needed because you can
create a format object with Format(string). However, most of the time
you won't bother to create a format object explicitly because of:
class str(object):
def __mod__(self, value):
return Format(self) % value
f = f%r %i
type(f)
type 'Format'
# Explicitly
f = Format(%r %i)
f
Format '%r %i'
f % (2, 3, 4)
Format '(2, 3, 4) %i'
# Implicitly, relying on the __mod__ method of str
f = %r %i
f
'%r %i'
f % (2, 3, 4)
Format '(2, 3, 4) %i'
I'd also like to add that there's nothing to prevent format objects from
having other methods where multiple placeholders can be filled in one call:
# By position
f = Format(%r %i)
f
Format '%r %i'
f.fill([(2, 3, 4), 1])
'(2, 3, 4) 1'
# By name
f = Format(%{tuple}r %{int}i)
f
Format '%{tuple}r %{int}i'
f.fill({tuple: (2, 3, 4), int: 1})
'(2, 3, 4) 1'
You're choosing to favor the '.chain()' method over the '.fill()'
method for the behavior of '%'. I don't think you've justified it
though.
Format( %r %i ).chain( ( 2, 3, 4 ) ).chain( 0 )
'(2, 3, 4) 0'
Format( %r %i ).fill( ( 2, 3, 4 ), 0 )
'(2, 3, 4) 0'
Plus, I almost think we've almost attained defeating the purpose.

How to represent a sequence of raw bytes
Hi,
What's the right type to represent a sequence of raw bytes. In C, we usually do
1. char buf[200] or
2. char buf[] = {0x11, 0x22, 0x33, ... }
What's the equivalent representation for above in Python?
Thanks.

Let's assume that Format objects display their value like the equivalent

'%r %i'
f = f % (2, 3, 4)
f
Format '(2, 3, 4) %i'
f = f % 1
f

f = %s %i
f
'%s %i'
f = f % '%i'

The disadvantage of the chaining method is that it's positional,
left-to-right. For the purposes of i18n you want tagged placeholders,
whether they be integers or names. I think... OK, if the placeholders
include a positional tag, eg %(0)s %(1)s, then they could be filled in
according to _that_ order. Not sure about named placeholders, though.
Perhaps, like at present, if a dict is given to a format with named
placeholders then several placeholders could be filled, the problem
being how to fill a _single_ named placeholder with a dict.

Re: Are Django/Turbogears too specific?
Gilles Ganault nos...@nospam.com writes: Hi I'd like to rewrite a Web 2.0 PHP application in Python with AJAX, and it seems like Django and Turbogears are the frameworks that have the most momentum. I'd like to use this opportunity to lower the load on servers, as the PHP application wasn't built to fit the number of users hammering the servers now. I'm concerned, though, that these frameworks they may be too specific to the tasks they were originally developped for (news articles, AFAIK). Do you think I should just use eg. CherryPy and some basic AJAX? Thank you for any feedback. They're not specific in the sense that they only build certain types of applications. However, they do package their own batteries and expect applications to be designed a certain way. As long as you drink the kool-aid, everything is smooth sailing. That's what any framework banks on -- being useful to 85% of the web applications; not all. Even if they advertise themselves as such, it's just not true. My suggestion is web.py -- It too has its own set of conventions and philosophies, but in my experience it is the most loosely coupled in terms of internal dependencies. Import exactly what you want to use and deploy it the way that suits you. It gives you batteries but you have to pick and choose how to put the pieces together. Therefore, it takes a little longer to get running, but IMO that is the most flexibility you can ask for without writing your own servers and frameworks.

Well in most cases you don't need to do that, instead you could assemble
your stream on the way out based on sequences, generators etc.
Please note that char in your example is just a bit inapropriate (but
common in C) shorthand for unsigned short int. There is no such type
in python so you could use int() if you want to operate on the numeric
value. Depending on your use case a big integer could also serve well
and you can convert it into a byte string.
If you want random access to the bytes, you can use list or array (see
array module) or, if you want it with much more performance resort
to numpy, scipy, they have arrays similar to C and also much more
numeric datatypes.

You want the `bytearray` type referred to in PEP 3137
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3137/).
However, I believe `bytearray` is only available in Python 3.0

[issue4709] Mingw-w64 and python on windows x64
New submission from Cournapeau David da...@ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp:
I believe the current pyport.h for windows x64 has some problems. It
does not work for compilers which are not MS ones, because building
against the official binary (python 2.6) relies on features which are
not enabled unless MS_WIN64 is defined, and the later is not defined if
an extension is not built with MS compiler.
As a simple example:
#include Python.h
int main()
{
printf(sizeof(Py_intptr_t) = %d\n, sizeof(Py_intptr_t));
return 0;
}
If you build this with MS compiler, you get the expected
sizeof(Py_intptr_t) = 8, but with gcc, you get 4. Now, if I build the
test like:
gcc -I C:\Python26\include -DMS_WIN64 main.c
