[issue44604] [Enhancement] Asyncio task decorator to provide interface to define async DAGs (similar to dask's delayed interface)
Art added the comment: FYI - I've added created a new pypi project for this called `aiodag`. pip install aiodag Github here: https://github.com/aa1371/aiodag Pypi here: https://pypi.org/project/aiodag/ I would appreciate it if you could find some time take a look just at the readme on the github page and provide any thoughts. I still think that this would be a good fit for asyncio directly. But if still not convinced is there any conditions under which you could see this project eventually being folded into the library?

[issue44604] [Enhancement] Asyncio task decorator to provide interface to define async DAGs (similar to dask's delayed interface)
Art added the comment: Hi Yury, could you by any chance point me to some material on the inclusion of task groups in 3.11? I've found these "task group" docs from a library called AnyIO: https://anyio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tasks.html. If the asyncio task group feature is similar to this, then while I think it is a nice inclusion, I believe it does not cover the use case that this proposal would cover. * If your opinion on the matter is still not final, then would you be open to a further demonstration of this proposal? I could gather several use cases from SO and other sites and demo how they could be elegantly solved with this interface. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue44604> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue44604] [Enhancement] Asyncio task decorator to provide interface to define async DAGs (similar to dask's delayed interface)
Art added the comment: I understand the hesitation to add this to the library, however I'd like to make a case for why I believe that it fits. To start this is my understanding of the scope of asyncio (or at least part of the scope, taken from the asyncio docs): asyncio provides a set of high-level APIs to: - run Python coroutines concurrently and have full control over their execution; - perform network IO and IPC; - control subprocesses; - distribute tasks via queues; - synchronize concurrent code; I believe this decorator would be another high-level api that would be considered a valid, useful, simple, and if it was more well-known, popular, method of exerting "full control over their execution". Here's an example of a few places from around the internet where people are asking how to do something that would directly benefit from this API, and where I believe frankly that this API would provide a much cleaner/better solution than those proposed. https://old.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/oi3ueo/how_do_you_use_asyncio_to_do_this/ (inspiration for demo solution provided above) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58581270/what-is-the-cleanest-way-to-write-and-run-a-dag-of-tasks (user specifies their tasks are IO bound and that they tried to use asyncio, but to no avail, or it was too complicated) In both these cases above, it is explicitly implied that the user tried to use asyncio to solve their problem, but could not find a satisfactory way to do so. Here's a few more examples of asyncio code, that aren't as directly related to the issue at hand, but would greatly benefit from this isolated "task" structure. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58905515/how-to-ensure-python-s-asyncio-library-executes-tasks-in-depth-first-search-orde (user trying to build/execute a DAG of async tasks) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67481509/how-should-i-design-a-concurrency-pipeline-with-asyncio (user could/should consider their task pipeline as a DAG which would conceptually simplify what they are trying to achieve) To directly address the concern of "why add this to asyncio, and not a third-party library". 1) I believe this falls into the scope of the library as demonstrated in the first paragraph of this comment 2) Users look to and trust asyncio to provide good high level apis to build better code/systems (As you can see from some of the examples I posted above) 3) This is a very simple high-level api, that will not interfere with anything else in the library. Will introduce no compatibility issues 4) This point is conjecture, but I believe that this api will keep users from unnecessarily moving their workflows to other libraries like dask (which I love and contribute too) or airflow as you can see from some of the examples where users claim to try other libraries for something that asyncio could easily handle. 5) Inclusion in asyncio (over a third-party library) would provide faster, more reputable exposure to users of a great method of thinking about/solving their problems. I hope you'll re-consider your position, but completely understand if not, in which case I'll close this issue. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue44604> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

setting variables in pdb
If I am in Pdb, I would like to set a temporary variable, for example: (Pdb) r = 1 The 'r' gets interpreted as 'return' by Pdb. Is there a Pdb instruction that guarantees the intended effect, like: (Pdb) let r = 1 I can usually avoid using such variable names, but if I am changing the value of a local variable, it is convenient to be able to make sure that trying to change that variable doesn't unintentionally call a Pdb routine.

CSV DictReader loops when used with MySQLdb
I'm going crazy. Using python 2.5.2 on 64 bit Linux. I have a class which reads CSV files using the CSV DictReader. If I print the rows, everything works perfectly. If I insert the rows into a MySQL table using MySQLdb, the DictReader loops back and begins re-reading from the beginning of the file when it reaches EOF. Here's the code: class CsvLoader: load data from a CSV file into a corresponding MySQL table def __init__(self, fname, schema, db, useCleanReader = False): self.schema = schema self.db = db if useCleanReader: self.reader = csv.DictReader(CleanReader(fname), delimiter=',', quotechar='') else: self.reader = csv.DictReader(open(fname), delimiter=',', quotechar='') def loadMysql(self): for row in self.reader: self.db.insertGeneric(self.schema.tableName(), row) def printRows(self): for row in self.reader: print \n, row and here is the insertGeneric method: def insertGeneric(self, table, record): execute a generic INSERT, given a dict as input fieldList = [] valueList = [] for k in record.keys(): fieldList.append(k) valueList.append(record[k]) fields = , .join(fieldList) m = ['%s'] valueMarkers = , .join(m * len(valueList)) # create a string like: %s, %s, %s... sql = 'insert into %s (%s) values (%s)' % (table, fields, valueMarkers) cursor = self.conn.cursor() print +++ insert: %s = %s % (sql, valueList) cursor.execute(sql, valueList) cursor.close() useCleanReader is False CsvLoader.printRows() works fine. CsvLoader.loadMySql() keeps looping through the CSV file.

[issue5148] gzip.open breaks with 'U' flag
Art Gillespie agill...@gmail.com added the comment: The problem appears to be that the gzip module simply doesn't support universal newlines yet. I'm currently working on the zipfile module's universal newline support (issue6759) so if nobody else is working on this, I'll do it. I'm not sure if file object's open() behavior when presented with 'rUb' is correct or not. f = open(test.txt, w).write(blah\r\nblah\rblah\nblah\r\n) f = open(test.txt, rUb) f.read() 'blah\nblah\nblah\nblah\n' Since 'U' and 'b' are conceptually mutually exclusive on platforms where 'b' matters, I can see this being confusing. -- nosy: +agillesp ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5148 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

I also added the newlines attribute per PEP 278 and a corresponding test. I'm not sure I understood David's comment that read_test needed to be turned into a unit test: it's called by several of the unit tests (test_read_stored, test_read_deflated, et. al.) in that class. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14784/issue6759_2.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6759 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

The goal of this project is to create a fully scriptable drafting program that will match and eventually exceed features found in commercial CAD software. PythonCAD is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). PythonCAD requires Python 2.2 or newer. The interface is GTK 2.0 based, and uses the PyGTK module for interfacing to GTK. The design of PythonCAD is built around the idea of separating the interface from the back end as much as possible. By doing this, it is hoped that both GNOME and KDE interfaces can be added to PythonCAD through usage of the appropriate Python module. Addition of other PythonCAD interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The thirty-sixth release of PythonCAD is primarily a bug-fix release. A number or bugs relating to saving and loading user preferences that appeared in the thirty-fifth release have been fixed. Also, several number of bugs involving entity redrawing have been corrected, as well as bugs regarding the typing of various commands within the text entry box in the display. A mailing list for the development and use of PythonCAD is available. Visit the following page for information about subscribing and viewing the mailing list archive: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythoncad Visit the PythonCAD web site for more information about what PythonCAD does and aims to be: http://www.pythoncad.org/ Come and join me in developing PythonCAD into a world class drafting program!

Hi again. In addition to the thirty-fifth release of PythonCAD finally seeing the light of day, the PythonCAD website was given a long overdue makeover. I'd like to thank Jose Antonio Martin for doing the stylesheet and artwork. The new look is an vast improvement from the plain text layout the site has always had.

The thirty-fifth release contains several improvements dealing with the storage and adjustment of user preferences and image settings. The global user preferences are now saved into a file kept in the user home directory, so the settings are now preserved between PythonCAD sessions. Individual drawing settings can be examined and adjusted via a new set of menus and dialogs. These new dialogs are more complete than the single dialog previously used as well as easier to use.

Addition of other PythonCAD interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The twenty-eighth release of PythonCAD offers improved abilities to edit entities in a drawing. Previous releases had inconsistent behavior for entity modification as some operations first required selecting then entities to change and then selecting the operation to perform, where other changes were accomplished by first selecting the action and then selecting entities. The latest release allows for entity modifications to be performed in either mode, thus making the code more consistent as well as easier to use. For people familiar with AutoCAD, PythonCAD now has 'NOUN-VERB' and 'VERB-NOUN' entity modification behavior. Numerous internal changes to the code utilizing more current functionality are also included in this release, in particular a rewrite of the entity moving code. Also, the ability to adjust the attributes of the text objects in a Dimension have been improved as well as simplified.

Addition of other PythonCAD interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The twenty-seventh release contains primarily bug fixes and internal code enhancements. A long-standing interface problem where the display of selected entities was not clear has been fixed. When you select an entity it is redrawn in a highlighting color, making it clear which entities are selected at any one time. Also, the ability to deselect a selected entity has been added to the interface. The bug fixes included in this release address a few problems introduced in the previous release as well as various older issues. A mailing list for the development and use of PythonCAD is available.

[ANNOUNCE] Twenty-sixth release of PythonCAD now available
I'm pleased to announce the twenty-sixth development release of PythonCAD, a CAD package for open-source software users. As the name implies, PythonCAD is written entirely in Python. The goal of this project is to create a fully scriptable drafting program that will match and eventually exceed features found in commercial CAD software. PythonCAD is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). PythonCAD requires Python 2.2 or newer. The interface is GTK 2.0 based, and uses the PyGTK module for interfacing to GTK. The design of PythonCAD is built around the idea of separating the interface from the back end as much as possible. By doing this, it is hoped that both GNOME and KDE interfaces can be added to PythonCAD through usage of the appropriate Python module. Addition of other PythonCAD interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The twenty-sixth release includes a few interface enhancements. More of the menus can be activated from the keyboard, and stretch/move operations now accept entry box values when performing either task. A significant amount of work has been applied to the internal routines used for storing the entities in a drawing, the result of which required numerous changes throughout the code. The primary change was adjusting the Quadtree search and storage routines to handle the case where multiple instances of equivalent entities are stored. In earlier releases of PythonCAD this scenario would result in strange errors if it were to occur. As is always the case, a large number of smaller bug fixes and code enhancements are also present in this release. A mailing list for the development and use of PythonCAD is available.

Addition of other PythonCAD interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The twenty-fifth release consists primarily of bug fixes. The compatibility code for the GTK Action and ActionGroup classes introduced in the previous release had a number of bugs which have been fixed. People running PythonCAD on PyGTK releases prior to 2.4 should find this latest release working correctly due to these fixes. Thanks go to Wilbert Knol for helping identify and test the proposed fixes for this problem. A number of changes to the event handling code also are include in this release. Previously various event handling routines either returned an incorrect value, or returned a value when not needed. This release cleans up many of these issues, making the event handling code easier to follow as well as better conforming to GTK/PyGTK requirements. Various other bug fixes and code enhancements are present in this release as well. A mailing list for the development and use of PythonCAD is available.

By doing this, it is hoped that both GNOME and KDE interfaces can be added to PythonCAD through usage of the appropriate Python module. Addition of other PythonCAD interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The twenty-fourth release contains numerous improvements to the code used for constructing the user interface and the entity drawing routines. This release utilizes the GTK Action and ActionGroup classes for building and controlling the menubar and menus. Using these classes greatly simplifies and enhances the ability to manipulate the menu items, and these features are used extensively in this release. Many menu choices are now activated when the functionality they provide can be used, and deactivated when their use is not possible. More enhancements of this nature will be appearing in future releases. Another significant improvement is the refactoring of the entity drawing routines. These routines are now provided as methods for each entity class, making their usage much clearer and simpler. Changing the drawing routines has allowed significant simplification of the code responsible for drawing as well as fixing several drawing bugs. Future releases of PythonCAD will build on this change to enhance and improve the graphical behavior of the program even further. A number of PyGTK deprecation warnings that slipped by in the previous release have been removed, and a good number of bug fixes and code enhancements are present in this release as well.
