That is a common myth. If your computer doesn't have any IPv6
connectivity, all is fine. The web browser will fallback to IPv4
immediately (*), without sending out any IPv6 datagrams first.

If your computer does have IPv6 connectivity, but it's broken
(i.e. you have a gateway, but eventually packets are discarded),
you see the IPv4 fallback after the IPv6 timeout. The IPv4 connection in
itself then would be fast.

If your computer has IPv6 connectivity, but through low-bandwidth
tunnels (which may happen with 6to4 tunnels, for example), then you'll
get slow responses all the time.

About new urllib.request in python 3.1.2

2010-07-10 Thread pcchen

Sorry I have searched related topic but none could point out this
problem.

I am currently using python 3.1.2:

Python 3.1.2 (r312:79147, Jun 30 2010, 11:58:11)
[GCC 4.2.1 20070719  [FreeBSD]] on freebsd8

And for the following three simple lines of code, borrowed from
official python-doc 3.1.2:

from urllib.request import urlopen
response = urlopen('http://python.org/')
html = response.read()

They could cause this error:

  File ./http.py, line 3, in module
from urllib.request import urlopen
  File /usr/local/lib/python3.1/urllib/request.py, line 88, in
module
import http.client
  File /home/pcchen/Python/http.py, line 3, in module
from urllib.request import urlopen
ImportError: cannot import name urlopen

All the related discussions point to urlopen has been moved from
urllib to urllib.request, but none can discribe the above error.

Any information is appreciated, thank you so much.

Well, just take a look at the number of recipes for disabling IPv6
specifically in order to solve slowdown problems:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=frsafe=offq=linux+ipv6+disable+slowdownsaq=faqi=aql=oq=gs_rfai=

It is at least the third time that someone asks why python.org is
slow, and that their problem is solved by disabling IPv6.

I disabled IPv6 myself, which solved similar slowdown issues.
The issues happened on *.python.org, *.google.com and a couple of other
domains; hence they weren't python.org-specific.
The issues happened with a Web browser but also with ssh; hence they
were neither application- nor protocol-specific.
The issues happened on two different machines, one hooked to a DSL
router, another with wireless connection to various outside networks.
Hence the issue is probably not tied to a particular hardware gateway.

I was quite surprised myself when I discovered that solution. But it
really suppressed the frequent lag I had in some connection attempts
(including ssh connection to a rather close, mostly idle box).

It is possible that the way Linux (or some Linux setups: many of the
recipes above are for Ubuntu, I use Mandriva myself) handles IPv6
connectivity is suboptimal in some cases, and that connection
attempts don't fail immediately when they should. I don't have enough
knowledge to diagnose further.

Antoine.

It fails because you have shadowed the built-in package http with your

Not-quite-the-module-name qualified names in extension modules? What?

2010-07-10 Thread Alf P. Steinbach /Usenet


Hi.

I built the [xxmodule.c] from the source distribution, as suggested by the 
Python 3.1.1 docs. I named this [xx.pyd], as I believed the module name was just 
xx. Indeed importing xx works fine, but when I do help(xx) I get ...



example
 help( xx )
Help on module xx:

NAME
xx - This is a template module just for instruction.

FILE

c:\projects\progrock\lib\progrock\cppy_dev\examples\02_xx_apilevel\xx.pyd

CLASSES
builtins.Exception(builtins.BaseException)
error
builtins.object
xxmodule.Null
builtins.str(builtins.object)
xxmodule.Str

class Null(builtins.object)
 |  Methods defined here:
 |
/example


... with the name xxmodule somehow in there as qualification.

Checking the standard csv module I similarly get ...


example
CLASSES
builtins.Exception(builtins.BaseException)
_csv.Error
builtins.object
Dialect
excel
excel_tab
DictReader
DictWriter
Sniffer
/example


... with the name _csv in there.

And I'm pretty sure that these not-quite-the-module-name names stem from the 
literal specification of names in the C code in the extension module, assuming 
that the csv module is indeed a C extension module.


Is it really necessary to qualify names in the C code?

And can it do harm when such name qualification is not using the final module 
name but instead something like xxmodule or _csv?


More to the point, what's the point?


Cheers,

- Alf

Just edit the MySQLdb cursors module -- it's plain Python unless
something has changed in the last year... Find the .execute() method,
and stuff in a debug print statement where it does the escaping and
fill in (reason MySQLdb uses %s placeholder is that it uses Python to
do the fill in; things may change if the module is ever updated to use
ver 5 prepared queries).

Come to think of it, one could probably duplicate the .execute()
method, creating a d_execute with the print statement, while not
affecting operational code... That way one wouldn't have to edit the
module just for testing.


Why duplicate the method? Why not add a keyword argument to turn on
printing or a provide a file-type instance to which it should log the
query?

That's not what he meant.

Your file is called http.py.
Python searches the current directory first.
That means that when any library module (internally) tried to use
the http module it will find your file, not the library module.

So you don't get to use the http library module.

Rename your http.py file to my-http-test.py and retry.
Then its name won't get in the way of the library name.

Re: Any reason www.python.org is slow?

2010-07-10 Thread Pierre Rouleau



 It is possible that the way Linux (or some Linux setups: many of the
 recipes above are for Ubuntu, I use Mandriva myself) handles IPv6
 connectivity is suboptimal in some cases, and that connection
 attempts don't fail immediately when they should. I don't have enough
 knowledge to diagnose further.


Note that I am not using Linux.  I had the problem on OS/X 10.4.

I did another experiment.  I have VMWare Fusion on that computer and
have Linux Ubuntu 9.04 in one VMWare appliance.

I activated IPv6 on the OS/X Preference for the interface I am using.
Access to www.python.org went slow for Firefox and Safari running
directly under OS/X.  However, access for Firefox running inside
VMWare-based Linux Ubuntu 9.04 was fine!  I tried pages from Ubuntu
first, got them right away, then tried the same page under OS/X and
was waiting for over 10 seconds.

Re: Web page special characters encoding

 Hi all, I'm using py3k and the urllib package to download web pages. Can
 you suggest me a package that can translate reserved characters in html

 Thanks,

Basically I'm trying to get an html page and stripping out all the tags

figured out what I'm trying to do ;-)

So far what I've done, thanks to you suggestions:

import lxml.html
import lxml.html.clean
import urllib.request
import urllib.parse
from html.entities import entitydefs
import re
import sys

HEADERS = {User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;

def replace(m):
if m.group(1) in entitydefs:
return entitydefs[m.group(1)]
else:
return m.group(1)

def test(page):
req = urllib.request.Request(page, None, HEADERS)
page = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
charset = page.info().get_content_charset()
if charset is not None:
html = page.read().decode(charset)
else:
html = page.read().decode(iso-8859-1)
html = re.sub(r(\w+);, replace, html)
cleaner = lxml.html.clean.Cleaner(safe_attrs_only = True, style = 
True)
html = cleaner.clean_html(html)
# create the element tree
tree = lxml.html.document_fromstring(html)
txt = tree.text_content()
for x in txt.split():
# DOS shell is not able to print characters like u'\u20ac' - 
why???
try:
print(x)
except:
continue

if __name__ == __main__:
if len(sys.argv)  2:
print(Usage:, sys.argv[0], webpage)
print(Example:, sys.argv[0], http://www.bing.com;)
sys.exit()
test(sys.argv[1])

Every new tips will be appreciated.

The function 'M.f' still misbehaves.

'print inspect.getsource (service.f)' and
'print inspect.getsource (M.f)' shows the same 
corrected code. 

'print service.f' and 'print M.f' show different ids.

Yes. This:

from service import xxx

is essentially the same as:

import service
xxx = service.xxx

At that point, xxx contains a reference to the service.xxx object as it
is right now.  When you do a reload, that imports a new version of
service.xxx, but your global xxx object is still bound to the old one.

You have the source code in front of you.  After you do the execute, the

  hummm...

  ok, i will try to make that detailed description.

 I can tell you why I do not understand from your posted code what you
 are trying to do.

 Firstly, I do not understand if you are trying to plot a surface, a set
 of curves, or a curve, or just a set of points? In your posted code, the
 plot command is part of the else clause, and my guess is that you never
 intend the else-clause to be executed at all.

 In your code snippet you loop over two arrays (Vi and Vref), compute a
 scalar value V0, and all plot-commands you issue are of the form
 plot(V0). This will probably draw a line of one point (for each value in
 Vi and Vref), which may not be what you want, and if it draws anything
 at all, then all points will be drawn at the same x-value, which is also
 probably not what you want.

 Secondly, how are the Vi and Vref related to your axes? I assume you
 want to plot all values you compute for V0, but as a function of what?
 When I use the plot command, I usually give it (at least) two arguments,
 where the first is the x-axis, and the second is the y-axis.

 After I have understood those things, the next question would be about
 the maths relating the Vi and Vref values to the V0 values, but I do not
 think I will understand those until after the above points are explained
 clearer.

 I definitely think your english is not a problem here.

 Johan

hi Johan

Thanks for the interest in my problem... really appreciate.

About the plot draw it's a curve that it's a set of points wich it's
the result of the comput of the Vref and Vi together. I don't know if
i had to make a break instruction (like in other's languages) after
the If instructions if i want the else-condition to be executed? ...
(do you have some sujestions?)
Anyway i have a picture of a tuturial that i found but in this forum i
can't post it. That pic would show what a really want...

Relatively to the axis, the Vi takes the x-axis and the Vref takes the
y-axis.

As i said, i have a good 2 pic of a doc that has the information about
this ADC that i'm developing.

I would appreciate more of your help, if you permit me i could send

It's been a while since I've used AIX, but is it possible you're mixing 32
bit and 64 bit operations?  AIX shared libraries:
1) Are closer to windows dll's than *ix .so's - unsurprising given that
Windows shares a heritage with OS/2, and both OS/2 and AIX are from IBM.
2) A .a can hold both 32 bit and 64 bit objects.
3) If you have a .a with 32 objects in it, and try to link against it in 64
bit mode, the file is sort of there and sort of not - ls will see it, but
the linker will not.
4) 32 bit libraries suffer from a loader domain issue - the first part of
$LIBPATH optionally specifies a loader domain, which is a namespace into
which shared libraries are loaded
5) 64 bit libraries are supposed to be cleaner than 32 bit
6) Make sure that if you're building for 64 bit (for example) that ld is
doing the same when it's called from collect2 or whatever.
7) You can test what kind of shared library you're looking at (and sometimes
.a's are _shared_ on AIX - yes, it's weird, yes, it's true) with ar -X - see
the man page for more.

integer = 1 == True and integer.0 == False is bad, bad, bad!!!

2010-07-10 Thread rantingrick

Let me tell you folks about a recent case of culo rojo i experianced
whilst creating a customized bin packer with Python. First i want to
say that i actually like the fact that i can do this..

py a = []
py if a:
... do something

Instead of this

py if len(a)  0:
... do something

Ok but the buck stops with integers. Why? you ask in amazing
befuddlement...Well I happened upon this atrocity when creating
variables that hold indexes into a python list. the variables where
named choice1 and choice2 and both where initialized to None. Fine no
problem there. So the algorithm will search for the two best choices.
The first choice choice1 will always be array[0]. The second choice
choice2 will need to be found using a completely different
algorithm. ...Well i could tell you about it but i would rather just
show you with some simple code..

array = [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,...]
while looping:
choiceIdx1 = None
choiceIdx2 = None
if array[0] meets condition this condition:
choiceIdx1 = 0
for i in range(len(array)):
if array[i] meets this condition:
choiceIdx2 = i
break
if choiceIdx1 and not choiceIdx2:
best = array.pop(choiceIdx1)
elif choiceIdx2 and not choiceIdx1:
best = array.pop(choiceIdx2)
elif choiceIdx1 and choiceIdx2:
# figure out which choice is better.
best = choiceIdx1 if choiceIdx1.better() else choiceIdx2
elif not choiceIdx1 and not choiceIdx2:
break
else:
# assume the worst
raise
do_somthing_with(best)

BUT THAT WONT WORK BECAUSE OF CRAPPY INTEGER BOOLEAN DEFAULTS! So i
had to do this crap...!

array = [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,...]
while looping:
choiceIdx1 = ()
choiceIdx2 = ()
if array[0] meets condition this condition:
choiceIdx1 = (0,)
for i in range(len(array)):
if array[i] meets this condition:
choiceIdx2 = (i,)
break
if choiceIdx1 and not choiceIdx2:
best = array.pop(choiceIdx1[0])
elif choiceIdx2 and not choiceIdx1:
best = array.pop(choiceIdx2[0])
elif choiceIdx1 and choiceIdx2:
# figure out which choice is better.
best = choiceIdx1[0] if choiceIdx1.better() else choiceIdx2[0]
elif not choiceIdx1 and not choiceIdx2:
break

# assume the worst

Yes, let us penalize the thousands of use cases where 0 being false is
useful and good, for the benefit of the one use-case (indexing) where it
is not.

You don't need to build a tuple. Just change the tests, to if
choiceIdx1 is not None. Its a little more work, sure. But its not
enough that its even vaguely worth breaking the otherwise very useful
behavior of bool(0) == False.

Is this still valid (or has something already been added)?
If so, do you still think it is needed (we seem to have gotten along without it 
for 7 years)?
If so, will you rewrite the snippet (it starts with with a dangling 'this') and 
specify where you would put it?

Response with reset this to open.

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

The link does not currently work.
I think this effectively impossible for volunteers. Microsoft has 1000s of paid 
employees. Chapter and Sections numbers do not match from version to version.
How many other versions would you link to? Multiple links could get a bit ugly.

What might be done is to put one permanent link to All doc versions on the 
sidebar.

I think I've already discussed this with Georg a while ago and we ended up 
adding the links on the left sidebar in http://docs.python.org/.
IIRC there's no easy way to find the same document in another version of the 
doc, not even now with Sphinx.
I think this can be closed, unless Georg disagrees.

Jack, thanks for the explanation.  Glad it seems sensible to more than just one 
person.  To my eyes, it looks like a little too much magic and I would be more 
comfortable if this idea and its variants had been explored more thoroughly by 
the community before it got injected into the standard library.

Ah yes, so it is.  Thank you.  I thought I remembered seeing it
somewhere in the buildbot output in the past;  I obviously didn't look

 I'll update the compiler and recheck.

This is still the case: the documentation should mention that 
PyEval_ReleaseLock() is not the correct function to release the GIL, both the 
interpreter lock *and* the current thread state have to be released.

[issue9110] contextlib.ContextDecorator

2010-07-10 Thread Nick Coghlan


Nick Coghlan ncogh...@gmail.com added the comment:

The idea of building this into contextlib actually came out on off-list 
discussion between Michael and I. To quote the original suggestion he sent to 
me:

What do you think about adding ContextDecorator to contextlib for Python 3.2?

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/contextdecorator

It's a simple recipe but useful nonetheless (and Barry Warsaw at least is very 
enthusiastic about it ;-).

ContextDecorator allows you to create APIs that behave as both context managers 
and as decorators. It also provides the optional exception handling capability 
of __exit__ for decorators. This isn't an uncommon pattern, used in libraries 
like mock, py.test and django, and it is at least slightly fiddly to get 
right.

I agree it is good to have that additional motivation (and the reference to 
previous work) here in the tracker issue rather than squirreled away in a 
couple of private email archives.

[issue9110] contextlib.ContextDecorator

2010-07-10 Thread Nick Coghlan


Nick Coghlan ncogh...@gmail.com added the comment:

One thing that Jack's confusion above does suggest to me is that we should 
mention in the *ContextDecorator* documentation that it is automatically 
applied to the context managers created when you use @contextmanager. A lot of 
people familiar with contextmanager are just going to read the docs for the new 
toy, so may miss the fact that we have added __call__ support to 
GeneratorContextManager.

As far as use cases go, this change is just syntactic sugar for any construct 
of the following form:

  def f():
with cm():
  # Do stuff

ContextDecorator lets you instead write:

  @cm
  def f():
# Do stuff

It makes it clear that the CM applies to the whole function, rather than just a 
piece of it (and saving an indentation level is nice, too).

[issue876421] logging handlers raise exception on level

2010-07-10 Thread Vinay Sajip


Vinay Sajip vinay_sa...@yahoo.co.uk added the comment:

If I did this for some but not handler classes, then people would probably log 
issues saying e.g. Why doesn't NTEventLogHandler support a level argument? 
Other handlers do. etc.

What's the big problem with using setLevel() to set the level? If you're after 
convenience, you could use the dictionary configuration API which allows you to 
set the levels declaratively.
