Re: Parsing numeric ranges

Hi all,
I have to convert integer ranges expressed in a popular compact notation

2,5,7,20,21,22,41).
Is there any library for doing such kind of things or I have to write it
from scratch ?
I dredged this out:
def _revision_list_with_ranges_to_list_without_ranges(revision_list):
'''Convert a revision list with ranges (e.g. '1,3,5-7') to a
simple list without ranges (1,3,5,6,7)'''
for revision in revision_list:
if '-' in revision:
from_revision, _, to_revision = revision.partition('-')
for revision_in_range in range(int(from_revision),
int(to_revision)+1):
yield revision_in_range
else:
yield int(revision)

Re: Where is my namespace?
2009/12/7 vsoler vicente.so...@gmail.com: I take the example from Mark Lutz's excellent book Learning Python. *** In nested1.py I have: X=99 def printer(): print X *** In nested2.py I have: from nested1 import X, printer X=88 printer() What is amazing is that running nested2.py prints 99 and not 88. My questions are: 1. Using statement from instead of import should not create a namespace, at least that's what I think. However, the printer() function is able to find 99 which is residing in... a namespace? Sorry - you think wrong. All modules have their own namespace. from blah import injects the objects from the imported module directly into the importing modules namespace, but they are still two distinct namespaces. 2. I have tried to access the 88 by qualification from nested2.py. However, I cannot. If using print nested1.X in nested2.py I get an error If you do from blah import the imported module itself isn't bound to any name in the importing module - you can't get at it at all. 3. Mark says: The from statement is really an assignment to names in the importer's scope--a name-copy operation, not a name aliasing. I don't fully understand what he means. Could anybody explain?

Re: recommendation for webapp testing?
2009/9/17 Schif Schaf schifsc...@gmail.com: What's the difference between WebDriver and Selenium? Selenium runs in a browser, and uses JavaScript to perform all your automated actions. It need a browser running to work. Several are supported, Firefox, Safari, IE and I think others. You are at thier mercy of the browser's JavaScript engine - I've often had trouble with IE's XPath support, for instance - tests will run fine in Firefox and safari, but not work in IE. One big advantage of Selenium is that there an IDE available, a Firefox add-on which will allow you to record actions. This is useful for building regression tests and acceptance tests for bugs. Sadly, it often tempts people into writing their acceptance tests after the fact, too - a grave mistake IMHO. Selenium tests can be written in Python, Ruby, Java, and in the form of HTML tables. This last seems quite popular with QAs for some reason which escapes me entirely. WebDriver runs outside a browser. It can be (and usually is) used to drive a real browser, though there's is a HtmlUnit driver available, which bypasses any real browser and goes direct to the site you are testing. Even this last option, though, does allow the testing of sites which make use of JavaScript - which is just about all of them these days. It makes use of native drivers for each of the browsers it supports, so it runs very much faster than Selenium. Since it presents the test program with its own version of the page's DOM tree, it's also less likely to give browser incompatibilities. WebDriver tests can be written in Java or Python, at the moment. The Selenium people have recognized the superiority of the WebDriver approach, so the nascent Selenium 2 will use WebDriver under the covers. For the moment, though, you have to pick one or the other. Mechanize is a superb library for its intended purpose - I use it all the time. It's lack of support for pages with JavaScript functionality, though, means it's not very useful at a testing tool for modern web sites. -- Cheers, Simon B. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I find it more readable, since I can put my main function at the very top where it's visible, with the classes and functions it makes use of following in some logical sequence.

CSV is a data transfer format, not a display format. Locale specific stuff like this has no place in it. Dates, IMHO, should be in the ugly but unambiguous ISO 8601 format in a CSV. It's for import and export, not for looking pretty. Besides - CSV; the clue's in the name. ;-) Excel perfidiously gives them what they expect rather than forcing them to comply with The One True Way. When people export to a comma separated value file, they are almost certainly expecting a file containing values separated by comas.

I have used 2.5 updated to 2.6.1 this way, but can't find any reference to one on the Python.org download site. I've downloaded the Python 3.0 folder but can't follow how to install it without a .mpkg file. Any help would be really appreciated. AFAIK there's no Python 3.0 installer for the Mac. You'll have to build it yourself - see http://tinyurl.com/6zkem7. -- Cheers, Simon B. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: JDBC in CPYTHON
2009/2/3 KMCB kmcbrea...@yahoo.com: I was wondering if anyone was aware of a JDBC DBAPI module for cpython. I have looked at PYJDBC and was interested in avoiding using that extra level of ICE. I was thinking maybe someone would have back ported zxJDBC from Jython. Or used that as a starting point, to create a module and had a C based wrapper for the driver. This type of activity was talked about back in 2004 on this forum, but I was wondering if anyone had newer information. I don't know if http://jpype.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/javaclass.html might be of help. -- Cheers, Simon B. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Reading text file with wierd file extension?
2009/2/2 Lionel lionel.ke...@gmail.com: Hi Folks, Python newbie here. I'm trying to open (for reading) a text file with the following filenaming convension: MyTextFile.slc.rsc Some kind of a resource fork, perhaps? Where did the file come from? Python doesn't do anything magic with filenames, so this must be some sort of a fileysytem oddity, I think. -- Cheers, Simon B. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Odd syntactic NON-error?
2009/1/30 Alaric Haag h...@lsu.edu: So, is the secret that the period is syntactically an operator like + or * ? Exactly that: http://users.rcn.com/python/download/Descriptor.htm. Sh! -- Cheers, Simon B. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
