unexpected regexp behaviour using 'A|B|C.....'
When using re patterns of the form 'A|B|C|...' the docs seem to suggest that once any of A,B,C.. match, it is captured and no further patterns are tried. But I am seeing, st=' Id NameProv Type CopyOf BsId Rd -Detailed_State-Adm Snp Usr VSize' p='Type *' re.search(p,st).group() 'Type ' p='Type *| *Type' re.search(p,st).group() ' Type' Shouldn’t the second search return the same as the first, if further patterns are not tried? The documentation appears to suggest the first match should be returned, or am I misunderstanding? '|' A|B, where A and B can be arbitrary REs, creates a regular expression that will match either A or B. An arbitrary number of REs can be separated by the '|' in this way. This can be used inside groups (see below) as well. As the target string is scanned, REs separated by '|' are tried from left to right. When one pattern completely matches, that branch is accepted. This means that once A matches, B will not be tested further, even if it would produce a longer overall match. In other words, the '|' operator is never greedy. To match a literal '|', use \|, or enclose it inside a character class, as in [|]. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: PEP 8 and extraneous whitespace
(on limiting line lengths).. I didn't see this mentioned; I have a hard time keeping python code limited to 80 char line lengths _because_ indentation is significant, and can end up consuming quite a lot of linespace itself. Couple that with a liking for long_memorable_explanatory_names, and an 80 char limit causes (me) problems. So I tend to use the print margin just as a guide. If I am over it, then don't panic! just don't put any new elements onto the line, and maybe step back and think about what your doing just in case theres another clear way that avoids the issue. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
using an instance of Object as an empty class
Hi, I'm just wondering why something is so, and whats going on under the hood. Now and again I use something like class empty(object): pass simply so I can make an instance, and set some attributes on it. a=empty() a.whatever=something Poking around with this, I assumed I could instead say a=object() a.whatever=something but I get an attribute error. 'object object has no attribute whatever' I tried setattr() but get the same result. So, it seems to me there is something special about instances of object, and making an empty class that inherits from object, or creating an instance of that class, is doing some 'magic' somewhere that enables setting attributes etc.. Whats actually going on here, and why? Matt. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

locale settings and date parsing under windows
Hi,
I'm attempting to convert some date-time strings from a text file
under windows into a datetime object as returned by strptime()
However, the strings can represent dates in various formats based on
the country of origin, for example shortened month names etc.. are
different between countries.
I am trying to set the correct locale for strptime to work, but I'm
having a lot of trouble doing this under windows.
IE, wher the date is in the Danish Language,
import locale
locale.setlocale('LC_ALL',locale.normalize('da_DK'))
gives
locale.Error: unsupported locale string.
I have tried various ways but always hit the same error.
I understand setting LC_ALL may not be what I require, I was first
looking to simply get the locale setting correctly before I started
changing only the date-time specific elements.
Any help or pointers much appreciated. Current searching around is
revealing a fair amount of confusion..!
Thanks,
Matt.

Changing Locale for datetime.strptime conversions
Hi, I'm using datetime.strptime(string,format) to convert dates parsed from a file into datetime objects. However, the files come from various places around the world, and strptime fails when non-english month names are used. strptime says it converts month names using the current locales version of the name. I've looked into the locale module but can't see how I would setup.change a locales date/time representations, I can only see categories related to decimal number / currency representations. Can anyone show how I could change the locale such that strptime could parse a date string that used say, German month names? Thankyou -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

PyQt signals/slots dialogs question
Hi, I'm just starting to get to grips with PyQt, and I'm having a bit of trouble connecting slots / signals, or understanding how I should do so to achieve what I am after. I am trying to write an application that will display a sequence of dialogs, with back / next / cancel buttons to step through the dialogs. Each dialog will capture user input, ask the user to browse for a file, present some radio-buttons for a selection etc.. I've put the dialogs together in Designer, and I come to startup the app with a small piece of python code, create an instance of each dialog, and then connect up the buttons to any methods needed to control the movement through the dialogs etc. I'm having a brain-freeze though, and just can't figure out what I should be doing next, or the best approach to take. for example, Currently I am thinking I would need to connect the clicked() signal of the Next button on dialog 1 to a method say, 'dialog1Next' that would then hide dialog1 and show dialog2. I would then need to connect Dialog 2's clicked() signal of its next button to a method called 'dialog2Next' that hides dialog2 and shows dialog3 etc... I would also, for example, need methods for dialog2Back, dialog2cancel, dialog1cancel etc.. I'm having trouble figuring out how to setup the connections, and where the slot-methods should live.. I have this so far; from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui from WELCOME import Ui_Dialog as welcomeDialog from SOURCE_TYPE_SELECT import Ui_Dialog as sourceTypeSelectDialog from SOURCE_TYPE_CONFIRMATION import Ui_Dialog as sourceTypeConfirmationDialog from ACCEPT_EULA import Ui_Dialog as acceptEulaDialog from CONFIRM_REQUIREMENTS import Ui_Dialog as confirmRequirementsDialog from SOURCE_BINARY_LOCATE import Ui_Dialog as sourceBinaryLocateDialog from SOURCE_BINARY_PROBLEMS import Ui_Dialog as sourceBinaryProblemsDialog from OUTFILE_LOCATE import Ui_Dialog as outfileLocateDialog from OUTFILE_PROBLEMS import Ui_Dialog as outfileProblemsDialog from COLLECTION_PROGRESS import Ui_Dialog as collectionProgressDialog from OUTFILE_LOCATION import Ui_Dialog as outfileLocationDialog class StartQT4(QtGui.QDialog): def __init__(self, parent=None): QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent) self.Welcome = welcomeDialog() self.Welcome.setupUi(self) self.SourceTypeSelect = sourceTypeSelectDialog() self.SourceTypeConfirmation = sourceTypeConfirmationDialog() self.AcceptEula = acceptEulaDialog() self.ConfirmRequirements=confirmRequirementsDialog() self.SourceBinaryLocate=sourceBinaryLocateDialog() self.SourceBinaryProblems=sourceBinaryProblemsDialog() self.OutfileLocate=outfileLocateDialog() self.OutfileProbelms=outfileProblemsDialog() self.CollectionProgress=collectionProgressDialog() self.OutfileLocation=outfileLocationDialog #Connect up next/back/cancel etc.. buttons ??? self.Welcome.connect(self.Welcome.welcomeNext, QtCore.SIGNAL(clicked()),WelcomeNext) def WelcomeNext(): #Code here to hide Welcome dialog and show SourceTypeSelect dialog if __name__ == __main__: app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) myapp = StartQT4() myapp.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) My questions are, am I approaching this the right way, with a method per action per dialog to move through the dialogs, and just how do I setup the connections I need. I'm getting confused with scope etc. IE: if the connect is right, and WelcomeNext fires, how can it refer to myapp.SourceTypeSelect.show() or myapp.Welcome.hide() Any help much appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: PyQt signals/slots dialogs question
I've made a little progress; This appears to setup a connection that fires when the welcomeNext button in the Welcome dialog is clicked; self.Welcome.welcomeNext.connect(self.Welcome.welcomeNext,QtCore.SIGNAL(clicked()),self.WelcomeNext) In the StartQT4 class I now have the WelcomeNext method; def WelcomeNext(self): self.Welcome.setVisible(False) self.SourceTypeSelect.setVisible(True) Though I am now getting AttributeError: 'Ui_Dialog' object has no attribute 'setVisible' Which, is right. Because it's not really a QDialog class. Instead of using a 'WelcomeNext' method as the slot, should I just connect the clicked() signal to both the hide slot of the welcome dialog and the show slot of the SourceTypeSelect dialog? .. though then where would any code I wanted to run say, (for the sake of argument) between the hiding of one dialog and the showing of the next? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Recommend Commercial graphing library
Hi, I'm on the hunt for a good quality commercially licensed graphing / plotting library and wondered if anyone here had any recomendations.

Re: Recommend Commercial graphing library
I am just looking at the PSF license now as it goes.

However, the decision is not mine. The company I am with is unsure, and while they will pursue the possible use of matplotlib with the PSF license, they would prefer I continued to look into any commercially licensed libraries that could be used. ...and as it goes, the first thing I fired back at them when I was told 'no open source can be used' was basically 'What on earth are we going to use to code it in...' and that the 'no open source' restriciton as given was overly broad when you think about it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
