RedNotebook 1.5
A new RedNotebook version has been released. You can get the tarball, the Windows installer and links to distribution packages at http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/downloads.html What is RedNotebook? RedNotebook is a **graphical journal** and diary helping you keep track of notes and thoughts. It includes a calendar navigation, customizable templates, export functionality and word clouds. You can also format, tag and search your entries. RedNotebook is available in the repositories of most common Linux distributions and a Windows installer is available. It is written in Python and uses GTK+ for its interface. What's new? --- * Inline #hashtagging: Directly add hashtags like #Movies, #my_project in the main text. * Highlight #hashtags in red. * Include # for tags in tag cloud to be consistent with the hashtags. * Change to edit/preview mode if text is missing/present automatically. * Change to edit mode when double-clicked into preview. * Detach model from combobox when updating the tags to make inserting a new tag faster. * Fix searching for dates. * Fix inserting and editing templates with unicode names. * Fix opening and creating journals (lp:1068655) * Use apport (If a crash occurs on Linux, an automatic bug report is prepared, but not submitted) * Do not allow using $HOME as a journal directory. * Do not let error notifications blink. * For Journal-New and Journal-Save-As: Only allow using empty directories. * For Journal-Open: Only allow using directories with at least one month file. * Use InfoBars for nicer inline notifications about errors. * Enable finishing link dialog with hitting ENTER. * Disable insert (Ctrl+V) and cut (Ctrl+X) shortcuts in preview mode. * Add more shortcuts in Journal menu: Export (Ctrl+E), Backup and Statistics (Alt+letter). * Update translations.

What remains are mostly questions about compatibility wrappers, and how to allow them to be used -- or selectively deleted when not necessary; and perhaps a demonstration or two about how slices and named tuples can (or can't) perform nearly the same function in slice processing. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It is a rather obscure bug -- is it worth increasing the memory footprint of slice objects by 80% in order to fix it? :D In either event, a *bug* does exist (at *least* 20% of the time.) Tim Peters could have opened the *appropriate* bug complaint if he rejected the inappropriate one. Where are you getting that 20% figure from? Reference cycles involving slice objects would be extremely rare, certainly far less than 20%. The API ought to have either 1) included the garbage collection, or 2) raised an exception anytime dangerous/leaky data was supplied to slice(). How would you propose detecting the latter? At the time data is supplied to slice() it cannot refer to the slice, as the slice does not exist yet. The cycle has to be created after. If it is worth getting rid of the 4 words of extra memory required for the GC -- on account of slice() refusing to support data with sub-objects; then I'd also point out that a very large percentage of the time, tuples also contain data (typically integers or floats,) which do not further sub-reference objects. Hence, it would be worth it there too. I disagree. The proportion of the time that a tuple contains other collection objects is *much* greater. This happens regularly. OTOH, if I had to hazard a guess at the frequency with which non-atomic objects are used in slices, it would be a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent. I came across some unexpected behavior in Python 3.2 when experimenting with ranges and replacement Consider, xrange is missing, BUT: More accurately, range is gone, and xrange has been renamed range. a=range(1,5,2) a[1] 3 a[2] 5 a[1:2] range(3, 5, 2) Now, I wondered if it would still print the array or not; eg: if this was a __str__ issue vs. __repr__. print( a[1:2] ) # Boy, I have to get used to the print's parenthesis range(3, 5, 2) So, the answer is *NOPE*. I'm not sure why you would expect it to print a list here, without an explicit conversion. The result of calling range in Python 3 is a range object, not a list. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

sort order for strings of digits
I learn lots of useful things from the list, some not always welcome. No
sooner had I found a solution to a minor inconvenience in my code, than
a recent thread here drew my attention to the fact that it will not work
for python 3. So suggestions please:
TODO 2012-10-22: sort order numbers first then alphanumeric
n
('1', '10', '101', '3', '40', '31', '13', '2', '2000')
s
('a', 'ab', 'acd', 'bcd', '1a', 'a1', '222 bb', 'b a 4')
sorted(n)
['1', '10', '101', '13', '2', '2000', '3', '31', '40']
sorted(s)
['1a', '222 bb', 'a', 'a1', 'ab', 'acd', 'b a 4', 'bcd']
sorted(n+s)
['1', '10', '101', '13', '1a', '2', '2000', '222 bb', '3', '31', '40',
'a', 'a1', 'ab', 'acd', 'b a 4', 'bcd']
Possibly there is a better way but for Python 2.7 this gives the
required result
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14)
sorted(int(x) if x.isdigit() else x for x in n+s)
[1, 2, 3, 10, 13, 31, 40, 101, 2000, '1a', '222 bb', 'a', 'a1', 'ab',

'a', 'a1', 'ab', 'acd', 'b a 4', 'bcd']
But not for Python 3
Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16)
sorted(n+s)
['1', '10', '101', '13', '1a', '2', '2000', '222 bb', '3', '31', '40',

In the example you have given they already seem to be split, so you
could just do:
sorted(n, key=int) + sorted(s)
If that's not really the case, then you could construct (str, int)
tuples as sort keys:
sorted(n+s, key=lambda x: ('', int(x)) if x.isdigit() else (x, -1))
Note that the empty string sorts before all numbers here, which may or
may not be desirable.

Re: Float to String
andrew.mackeith at 3ds.com writes: When formatting a float using the exponential format, the rounding is different in Python-2.6 and Python-2.7. See example below. Is this intentional? Yes, in a sense. Python = 2.6 uses the OS-provided functionality (e.g., the C library's strtod, dtoa and sprintf functions) to do float-to-string and string-to-float conversions, and hence behaves differently from platform to platform. In particular, it's common for near halfway cases (like the one you're looking at here) and tiny numbers to give different results on different platforms. Python = 2.7 has its own built-in code for performing float-to-string and string-to-float conversions, so those conversions are platform- independent and always correctly rounded. (Nitpick: it's still theoretically possible for Python 2.7 to use the OS code if it can't determine the floating-point format, or if it can't find a way to ensure the proper FPU settings, but I don't know of any current platforms where that's the case.) Is there any way of forcing the Python-2.6 behavior (for compatibility reasons when testing)? Not easily, no. -- Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

According to your example code, you don't have to split the input because you already have two lists, one filled with numbers and one filled with strings. But I think that what you actually have is a single list of strings, and you are supposed to sort the strings such that they come in numeric order first, then alphanumerical. E.g.: ['9', '1000', 'abc2', '55', '1', 'abc', '55a', '1a'] = ['1', '1a', '9', '55', '55a', '1000', 'abc', 'abc2'] At least that is what I would expect as the useful thing to do when sorting. The trick is to take each string and split it into a leading number and a trailing alphanumeric string. Either part may be empty. Here's a pure Python solution: from sys import maxsize # use maxint in Python 2 def split(s): for i, c in enumerate(s): if not c.isdigit(): break else: # aligned with the FOR, not the IF return (int(s), '') return (int(s[:i] or maxsize), s[i:]) Now sort using this as a key function: py L = ['9', '1000', 'abc2', '55', '1', 'abc', '55a', '1a'] py sorted(L, key=split) ['1', '1a', '9', '55', '55a', '1000', 'abc', 'abc2'] The above solution is not quite general: * it doesn't handle negative numbers or numbers with a decimal point; * it doesn't handle the empty string in any meaningful way; * in practice, you may or may not want to ignore leading whitespace, or trailing whitespace after the number part; * there's a subtle bug if a string contains a very large numeric prefix, finding and fixing that is left as an exercise. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you are using cmp with sort, your sorts are slow, and you should upgrade to using a key function as soon as possible. For small lists, you may not notice, but for large lists using a comparison function is a BAD IDEA. Here's an example: sorting a list of numbers by absolute value. py L = [5, -6, 1, -2, 9, -8, 4, 3, -7, 2, -3] py sorted(L, key=abs) [1, -2, 2, 3, -3, 4, 5, -6, -7, -8, 9] py sorted(L, lambda a, b: cmp(abs(a), abs(b))) [1, -2, 2, 3, -3, 4, 5, -6, -7, -8, 9] But the amount of work done is radically different. Let's temporarily shadow the built-ins with patched versions: py _abs = abs py _abs, _cmp = abs, cmp py c1 = c2 = 0 py def abs(x): ... global c1 ... c1 += 1 ... return _abs(x) ... py def cmp(a, b): ... global c2 ... c2 += 1 ... return _cmp(a, b) ... Now we can see just how much work is done under the hood using a key function vs a comparison function: py sorted(L, key=abs) [1, -2, 2, 3, -3, 4, 5, -6, -7, -8, 9] py c1 11 So the key function is called once for each item in the list. But: py c1 = 0 # reset the count py sorted(L, lambda a, b: cmp(abs(a), abs(b))) [1, -2, 2, 3, -3, 4, 5, -6, -7, -8, 9] py c1, c2 (54, 27) The comparison function is called 27 times for a list of nine items (a average of 2.5 calls to cmp per item), and abs is called twice for each call to cmp. (Well, duh.) If the list is bigger, it gets worse: py c2 = 0 py x = sorted(L*10, lambda a, b: cmp(abs(a), abs(b))) py c2 592 That's an average of 5.4 calls to cmp per item. And it gets even worse as the list gets bigger. As your lists get bigger, the amount of work done calling the comparison function gets ever bigger still. Sorting large lists with a comparison function is SLOOOW. py del abs, cmp # remove the monkey-patched versions py L = L*100 py with Timer(): ... x = sorted(L, key=abs) ... time taken: 9.165448 seconds py with Timer(): ... x = sorted(L, lambda a, b: cmp(abs(a), abs(b))) ... time taken: 63.579679 seconds The Timer() context manager used can be found here: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577896 -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: sort order for strings of digits
On 31/10/12 23:09, Steven D'Aprano wrote: On Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:17:14 +, djc wrote: The best I can think of is to split the input sequence into two lists, sort each and then join them. According to your example code, you don't have to split the input because you already have two lists, one filled with numbers and one filled with strings. Sorry for the confusion, the pair of strings was just a way of testing variations on the input. So a sequence with any combination of strings that can be read as numbers and strings of chars that don't look like numbers (even if that string includes digits) is the expected input But I think that what you actually have is a single list of strings, and you are supposed to sort the strings such that they come in numeric order first, then alphanumerical. E.g.: ['9', '1000', 'abc2', '55', '1', 'abc', '55a', '1a'] = ['1', '1a', '9', '55', '55a', '1000', 'abc', 'abc2'] Not quite, what I want is to ensure that if the strings look like numbers they are placed in numerical order. ie 1 2 3 10 100 not 1 10 100 2 3. Cases where a string has some leading digits can be treated as strings like any other. At least that is what I would expect as the useful thing to do when sorting. Well it depends on the use case. In my case the strings are column and row labels for a report. I want them to be presented in a convenient to read sequence. Which the lexical sorting of the strings that look like numbers is not. I want a reasonable do-what-i-mean default sort order that can handle whatever strings are used. The trick is to take each string and split it into a leading number and a trailing alphanumeric string. Either part may be empty. Here's a pure Python solution: from sys import maxsize # use maxint in Python 2 def split(s): for i, c in enumerate(s): if not c.isdigit(): break else: # aligned with the FOR, not the IF return (int(s), '') return (int(s[:i] or maxsize), s[i:]) Now sort using this as a key function: py L = ['9', '1000', 'abc2', '55', '1', 'abc', '55a', '1a'] py sorted(L, key=split) ['1', '1a', '9', '55', '55a', '1000', 'abc', 'abc2'] The above solution is not quite general: * it doesn't handle negative numbers or numbers with a decimal point; * it doesn't handle the empty string in any meaningful way; * in practice, you may or may not want to ignore leading whitespace, or trailing whitespace after the number part; * there's a subtle bug if a string contains a very large numeric prefix, finding and fixing that is left as an exercise. That looks more than general enough for my purposes! I will experiment along those lines, thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Now when 2nd day starts and i try to read the lines from the file I get `MemoryError`. Following is the output of the program. Is it a 32-bit program? If so, expect the maximum amount of memory it can use to hold the program, its current dataspace, and images of all the files it has open to be about 3.5 GB, even if it is running on a 64-bit computer with over 4 GB of memory. It seems that 32-bit addresses can only refer to 4 GB of memory, and part of that 4 GB must be used for whatever the operating system needs for running 32-bit programs. With some of the older compilers, only 2 GB can be used for the program; the other 2 GB is reserved for the operating system. How practical would it be to have that program run twice a day?

So, FOR AS LONG, as the object representing slice does not contain an explicit GC pair; I move that we mandate (yes, in the current python implementation, even as a *fix*) that its named members may not be assigned any objects other than None or numbers eg: Lists would be forbidden Since functions, and subclasses, can be test evaluated by int( the_thing_to_try ) and *[] can too, generality need not be lost for generating nothing or numbers. PEP 357 requires that anything implementing the __index__ special method be allowed for slicing sequences (and also that __index__ be used for the conversion). For the most part, that includes ints and numpy integer types, but other code could be doing esoteric things with it. I missed something... (but then that's why we're still talking about it...) Reading the PEP, it notes that *only* integers (or longs) are permitted in slice syntax. (Overlooking None, of course... which is strange...) The PEP gives the only exceptions as objects with method __index__. Automatically, then, an empty list is forbidden (in slice syntax). However, What you did, was circumvent the PEP by passing an empty list directly to slice(), and avoiding running it through slice syntax processing. So... Is there documentation suggesting that a slice object is meant to be used to hold anything other than what comes from processing a valid slice syntax [::]??. (we know it can be done, but that's a different Q.) The change would be backward-incompatible in any case, since there is certainly code out there that uses non-numeric slices -- one example has already been given in this thread. Hmmm. Now, I'm thinking -- The purpose of index(), specifically, is to notify when something which is not an integer may be used as an index; You've helpfully noted that index() also *converts* those objects into numbers. Ethan Fullman mentioned that he used the names of fields, instead of having to remember the _offsets_; Which means that his values _do convert_ to offset numbers His example was actually given in slice syntax notation [::]. Hence, his objects must have an index() method, correct?. Therefore, I still see no reason why it is permissible to assign non-numerical (non None) items as an element of slice(). Or, let me re-word that more clearly -- I see no reason that slice named members when used as originally intended would ever need to be assigned a value which is not *already* converted to a number by index(). By definition, if it can't be coerced, it isn't a number. A side note: At 80% less overhead, and three slots -- slice is rather attractive to store RGB values in for a picture! But, I don't think anyone would have a problem saying No, we won't support that, even if you do do it!

Afterwards, the :c:func:`Py_Finalize` call shuts the interpreter down, followed by the end of the program. In a real program, you may want to get the Python script from another source, perhaps a text-editor routine, a file, or a database.

[issue16372] Initialization strange behavior
New submission from Wojciech Danilo:
Hi!
I'm using Python for several years and now I'm writing in Python 3 for the
first time. I think I found a strange bug in it. Lets concider the code in the
attachement.
In the 33 line there is construction of new instance of class Result:
print('!!!',Result().value)
what is strange, the class is defined as:
class Result:
def __init__(self, value=[], start=0, end=0):
self.value = value
...
and what I get as a result is:
!!! ['a', 'b']
Where the array was somehow magically stored from previous initialization (take
a look at the code for full listing).

I only see some performance regressions between -5% and -1%, but there are some speedup on UTF-8 and UTF-32 (between +11% and +14%). On a microbenchmark, numbers in the -10..10% range just means no change.

[issue16344] Traceback Internationalization Proposal
Ezio Melotti added the comment: Teach the users English may be an altruist goal in the long term, but for many teachers (like my case) it a barrier right now that can tip the balance to other more friendly languages Students are not required to learn English and English grammar before programming -- learning a few words is already enough to grasp the meaning of many error messages (and it's anyway already necessary for keywords, functions, methods, classes, modules, etc.). Those that continues working on programming will surely be exposed sooner or later to formal technical English course at University or similar. The sooner they get exposed to English the better it is. The best way to learn a language is by using it, and IMHO technical English is even easier than normal English (and often even than native language). But, if they don't continue their studies, or choose a different career, maybe their English skill will never be enough. I think that nowadays anyone should learn English anyway, and the more you translate the more you make their lives difficult, because you confine them to a restricted subset of all the available information (this is getting off-topic though). Here, as you point, translation poses a new perspective, why take that as a threat instead of an opportunity to bring better messages? This is a different problem though. Python (and programming in general) has its own jargon, and the jargon provides a concise way to refer to specific concepts (e.g. tuple-unpacking). While it certainly shouldn't be abused, it's often more convenient to use it. Creating a new localized jargon also doesn't help, and it only makes things more complicated. For example you mentioned the invalid token error message, that on the page you linked is translated as token inválido. AFAIK token is not a Spanish word, so either you end up leaving the jargon untranslated, or you translated in something that doesn't make much sense and doesn't match with other names (e.g. the tokenize module). While improving the message is a good idea (if/when possible), translating it doesn't make things much better. localized error messages could eventually produce better search results for non-English speakers if there is enough material written in they language. IME experience it's the opposite. This might work a bit better for widespread languages like Spanish, but otherwise I often come across to fairly bad results. First of all localized documentations are not as updated as the official one (that gets updated daily), and the translation might not be accurate. Given that the English community is the biggest one, it's also easier to find answers in English than it is in any other language. People that are not using English resources are often inexperienced users, and the solutions they provide are not always good (of course there are exceptions). At least some part should be translated too, as for example, the Python Tutorial was translated by the local community to Spanish: http://docs.python.org.ar/tutorial/contenido.html But this is just a part, has not been updated in over 2 years, and doesn't even cover Python 3. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16344 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Revision fa959dc5c61d comes from the 2.7 maintenance branch. Try: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/e5f39546989f/Lib/decimal.py instead. Better still, get a clone of the Python repository. :-) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13701 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
