Python -COMMETHOD ,No return value obtained/received
I am very new to COM programming, Our project requires the Python script to
make communication with a COM dll which is written in C#.
The generated COM signature in Python is as below
COMMETHOD([dispid(1610743820)], HRESULT, 'test',
( ['in', 'out'], POINTER(_midlSAFEARRAY(c_double)), 'test' ),
( ['retval', 'out'], POINTER(VARIANT_BOOL), 'pRetVal' )),
Where as the C# code for the same is
public bool test(ref double[,] test)
{
if (test == null)
test = new double[1,2];
test[0,0] = 0.0;
test[0,1] = 0.5;
return true;
}
Note: the above is the dummy functions i have created to explain the issue
Now when I try to invoke the COM method from Python , I am only getting the
values passed by reference to the method (sweepValuesX) as return value and not
the actual return value (which has to be either true/false)
My function call is as below
print apxWrapper.test()
and the output is ((0.0, 0.5),)
Note: Since i was not able to find a way to pass the last arguement from Python
,I just omitted the last argument for trial purpose
Any hints why this is happening is highly appreciated or to be specific I have
two questions
1 How Can i pass the argument to be passed by reference from Python especially
array (both single and multidimensional)(POINTER(_midlSAFEARRAY(c_double)))
2 How can i get the actual return value (true/false)

For example, take intersection of two sets s and t. It is a basic
principle of set intersection that st == ts.
Note that, while this is true, the two are not actually identical:
set1 = {0,1,2}
set2 = {0.0,1.0,3.0}
set1set2
{0.0, 1.0}
set2set1
{0, 1}
(set1set2) == (set2set1)
True
I'd actually posit that Python has this particular one backward (I'd
be more inclined to keep the left operand's value), but it's
completely insignificant to most usage. But in any case, there's
already the possibility that a set union can be forced to make a
choice between two equal objects, so we're already a bit beyond the
purity of mathematics. Python could have implemented dicts much more
like sets with values, with set semantics maintained throughout, but
it'd require some oddities:
{1:asdf} == {1:asdf}
True
{1:asdf} == {1:qwer}
False
Sets with values semantics would demand that these both be True,
which is grossly unintuitive.
So while it may be true in pure mathematics that a set is-a dict (or a
dict is-a set), it's bound to create at least as many gotchas as it
solves.

Another question about JSON
Hello Again Everyone,
I'm still working to get my head around JSON and I thought I'd done so
until I ran into this bit of trouble. I'm trying to work with the
CoinBase API. If I type this into my browser:
https://coinbase.com/api/v1/prices/buy
I get the following JSON returned
{subtotal:{amount:128.00,currency:USD},fees:[{coinbase:{amount:1.28,currency:USD}},{bank:{amount:0.15,currency:USD}}],total:{amount:129.43,currency:USD},amount:129.43,currency:USD}
So far, so good. Now, I want to simply print out that bit of JSON (just
to know I've got it) and I try to use the following code:
returnedJSON = json.loads('https://coinbase.com/api/v1/prices/buy')
print returnedString
And I get a traceback that says: No JSON object could be decoded. The
specific traceback is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

It's not a solution to your problem, but why aren't you using
CF_UNICODETEXT, particularly if you're using python 3? And if you're
not, utf8 is the incorrect encoding, you should be using encoding='mbcs'
to interact with the CF_TEXT clipboard.
Anyway, to match behavior found in other applications when pasting from
the clipboard, I would suggest using:
if s.contains('\0'): s = s[:s.index('\0')]
Which will also remove non-null bytes after the first null (but if the
clipboard contains these, it won't be pasted into e.g. notepad).

While I don't deny your statement, I'd like to point out that English usually isn't overly concerned with formatting. Poetry, including that in English, often *is* concerned with formatting. Code is more like poetry than prose. You can take this paragraph of text, unwrap it, and then reflow it to any width you like, without materially changing my points. But you cannot do that with poetry! Or mathematical formulas. Or tables. Or text with headers and paragraphs and indented quotations. Etc. What percentage of published books on your bookshelf have NO significant indentation? As far as I know for mine, it is 0. C follows a rule of English which you just made up, and which is drastically wrong, which Python breaks, ergo software designed to cope only with English impoverished plain unformatted prose can better cope with C code than with Python code. Software that removes formatting info is broken for English as well as Python. Python is extremely unusual in making indentation important information You have it backwards. Significant indentation is *normal* in English. C in unusual is being able to write a whole text on a single line. When I was a child, paragraphs were marked by tab indents. The change to new-fangled double spacing with no indent seems to have come along with computer text processing. Perhaps this is because software is more prone to dropping tabs that return characters. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I think you could quite easily reconstruct the formatting of that,
based on its internal structure. Even in poetry, English doesn't
depend on its formatting nearly as much as Python does; and even
there, it's line breaks, not indentation - so we're talking more like
REXX than Python. In fact, it's not uncommon for poetry to be laid out
on a single line with slashes to divide lines:
A boat beneath a sunny sky / Lingering onward dreamily / In an evening
of July / Children three that nestle near, / Eager eye and willing ear
/ Pleased a simple tale to hear...
in the same way that I might write:
call sqlexec connect to words; call sqlexec create table dict (word
varchar(20) not null); call sqlexec insert into dict values
('spam'); call sqlexec insert into dict values ('ham')
To be sure, it looks nicer laid out with line breaks; but it's
possible to replace them with other markers. And indentation still is
completely insignificant. The only case I can think of in English of
indentation mattering is the one you mentioned of first line of
subsequent paragraphs, not by any means a universal convention and
definitely not the primary structure of the entire document.
Making line breaks significant usually throws people. It took my
players a lot of time and hints to figure this out:

I expect that this thread has all been a troll, but on the off chance that I'm wrong... I spent 40+ years programming for various companies, and the only GUI programs I wrote were for my personal use. Many times I worked on processors that weren't even in existence yet, and wrote my own tools to deal with them. Other times, there were tools I didn't like, and I wrote my own to replace them. One example of that is the keypunch. Another is paper tape punch. I was really glad to stop dealing with either of those. Still other times, tools were great, and I used them with pleasure. If the tool was flexible, I extended it. And if it was limited, I replaced it, or found a replacement. Many times I've chosen a particular approach to solving a problem mainly because it was something I hadn't done before. On one project, I wrote code whose job was to generate about 40,000 lines of C++ code that I didn't feel like typing in, and maintaining afterward. The data that described what those lines should look like was under the control of another (very large) company, and they could change it any time they liked. Most changes just worked.

Arnon Yaari added the comment:
You can follow the discussion I linked in the ticket description for an answer:
http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/tracker/issue3532
Mainly the answer is: to conform to PEP 358 and to provide the opposite of
bytes.fromhex.
I agree that you can use binascii, but apparently it was decided that this
functionality is good to have in the builtins (what used to be
encode/decode('hex') in Python 2.x, and what is now bytes.fromhex, with the
missing bytes.hex). In addition, binascii works a little differently - already
discussed in the given link...

[issue19009] Enhance HTTPResponse.readline() performance
New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson: Some applications require reading http response data in long polls as it becomes available. This is used, e.g. to receive notifications over a HTTP stream. Using response.read(large_buffer) is not possible because this will attempt to fullfill the entire request (using multiple underlying recv() calls), negating the attempt to get data as it becomes available. Using readline, and using \n boundaries in the data, this problem can be overcome. Currently, readline is slow because it will attempt to read one byte at a time. Even if it is doing so from a buffered stream, it is still doing it one character at a time. This patch adds a peek method to HttpResponse, which works both for chunked and non-chunked transfer encoding, thus improving the performance of readline. IOBase.readline will use peek() to determine the readahead it can use, instead of one byte which it must use by default. -- components: Library (Lib) files: peek.patch keywords: patch messages: 197574 nosy: kristjan.jonsson priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Enhance HTTPResponse.readline() performance type: performance versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31741/peek.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19009 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray added the comment: If they are part of a bug fix, then sure. That wasn't clear from this issue, though. On the other hand, if the tests in that other issue cover the actual bug, and these have any chance of *introducing* test failures (especially if they are heisenburgs, although I'm assuming the point is that they are not), then I'd say no. The issue with backporting tests isn't about maintenance burden (backporting tests actually makes the maintenance burden smaller, not larger). The issue is potential effectively spurious test failures in the field in a maintenance release. To put it another way: the right place to find test bugs is in a feature release, which we then fix in the next maintenance release.

I.e. we can backport either changes to locale_alias without tests, or changes to locale_alias with all changes to parser and tests, or changes to parser and all tests except test_locale_alias.

[issue19009] Enhance HTTPResponse.readline() performance
Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment: The problem is that self.fp is already a Buffered stream, and such streams are documented to have their read() and readinto() calls make multiple system calls to fullfill the request. My original goal was actually to make response.read(amt) not try to make multiple read() calls, so that one could have other delimiters than newline. It is simple for the chunked case, but I don't know how to bypass it for response.fp, since it is already a buffered file that has no guaranteed such behaviour wait, one can simply call peek() on it and know how much one can get :) But anyway, the use case I have actually uses newlines as record separators in the http stream, so this enhancement seems less intrusive. I'll add unit tests. There ought to be ready-made HTTPResponse tests already that I can use as templates. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19009 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue18989] reuse of enum names in class creation inconsistent
Ethan Furman added the comment: Perhaps you meant, what if you define a key in a subclass that shadows a method/property in a parent class? I'm inclined to say that would be acceptable, since one reason for subclassing is to add or make changes to the parent class' behavior. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18989 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
