ANN: unittest2 0.4.0 released
Hello all, I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.4.0 of unittest2. * unittest2 on PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2 * Article introducing unittest2: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/unittest2.shtml * Development docs for unittest (new features documented) http://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.html * Mercurial Development Repository: http://hg.python.org/unittest2 unittest2 is an enhanced version of unittest including a standard test runner (automatic test discovery), class and module level fixtures (``setUpClass`` / ``setUpModule`` etc), many powerful new assert methods, better resource management with ``addCleanups`` and a host of other new features. These new features are *all* going into the Python version of unittest in Python 2.7 and Python 3.2. The point of unittest2 is that it works with Python 2.4 - 2.6; you can use it now. The latest release is 0.4.0, which roughly equates to the feature set that will be in unittest in Python 2.7 beta 1 which is due out any minute now. The last public release of unittest2 I announced was version 0.2.0 and there have been several new and important features since then. For a good roundup of the new features, see my blog entry: * http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2010_04_03.shtml#e1171 The full changelog for versions 0.3.0 and 0.4.0: 2010/04/08 - 0.4.0 -- Addition of ``removeHandler`` for removing the control-C handler. ``delta`` keyword argument for ``assertAlmostEqual`` and ``assertNotAlmostEqual``. Addition of -b command line option (and ``TestResult.buffer``) for buffering stdout / stderr during test runs. Addition of ``TestCase.assertNotRegexpMatches``. Allow test discovery using dotted module names instead of a path. All imports requiring the signal module are now optional, for compatiblity with IronPython (or other platforms without this module). Tests fixed to be compatible with nosetest. 2010/03/26 - 0.3.0 -- ``assertSameElements`` removed and ``assertItemsEqual`` added; assert that sequences contain the same elements. Addition of -f/--failfast command line option, stopping test run on first failure or error. Addition of -c/--catch command line option for better control-C handling during test runs. Added ``BaseTestSuite``, for use by frameworks that don't want to support shared class and module fixtures. Skipped test methods no longer have ``setUp`` and ``tearDown`` called around them. Faulty ``load_tests`` functions no longer halt test discovery. Using non-strings for failure messages now works. Potential for ``UnicodeDecodeError`` whilst creating failure messages fixed. Split out monolithic test module into a package. BUGFIX: Correct usage message now shown for unit2 scripts. BUGFIX: ``__unittest`` in module globals trims frames from that module in reported stacktraces.

Each | specifies a file that is not to be closed during daemon start. do you know where can i find good documnetation for python-daemon? The docstrings and PEP 3143 are currently the best documentation for ‘python-daemon’; both describe the ‘files_preserve’ option as above. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/851ce78e53812ade As expressed in the referenced message, I would welcome someone writing better documentation and contributing patches. It may lead you to more information. The thread shows that Sean DiZazzo got logging working with the package. It's important to note (as you did, thanks Vinay) that none of the ‘logging.handlers’ are file descriptors. Nor are they file objects. If we can get a Python ‘file’ object, we can use its ‘fileno()’ method to get the file descriptor. So how do we get the file object for a logging handler? The ‘logging’ module documentation doesn't mention any way to get at the stream object for the handlers. But looking at the source code for ‘StreamHandler’ on my system, ‘/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py’, shows a ‘stream’ attribute that is bound to the stream object. It's not marked private (i.e. it's not named with a leading underscore), so one presumes it is part of the public API. I think you just have to pass the file object used by the handler (fh.stream) in the files_preserve array. Not quite. As the docs specify, you need to pass the *file descriptors* for the files you want preserved. For regular Python file objects, the ‘file.fileno()’ method returns the file descriptor: lh = logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler( LOG_FILENAME, # … ) log_stream_descriptor = lh.stream.fileno() daemon_context.files_preserve = [log_stream_descriptor] thank you both for a detailed explanation. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks in advance for any help, and I apologize for the broken link the other day. I don't have the energy at the moment to install all the dependencies to make the thing run, but just glancing at the layout... you appear to have a slightly confused idea of how packages are used. The main arm directory has an __init__.py as does a modes subdirectory and a weather subdirectory of that. But neither of these has any code in them to be imported. And the arm directory appears to be the main application directory so making that into a package doesn't seem to serve any purpose. I'm sure there are better explanations around, but in short: packages are directories with Python modules in them and, specifically, one Python module __init__.py which is typically empty (but needn't be). They can be considered in different ways, but essentially are ways of grouping Python modules according to some idea of cohesion. They don't magically make tangled code untangled but they might offer a certain clarity where you'd otherwise have one big directory full of undifferentiated modules. A typical example of packages would be a system which wanted to output to csv, html and pdf using some standardised API. The various output modules might live inside an outputs subpackage so the main program could do from outputs import csv or whatever. As it happens, this example also shows that the outputs.csv module won't shadow the stdlib csv module -- also purists might argue that it's bad practice to name any module over a stdlib module. Creating a package in your case might help you -- I haven't really looked at your code enough to say for sure -- to break one big module into several more structured modules within a package.

Agreed. The problems begin when the when they aren't is not
recognised.
But problems also arises when people are suggesting overly complex
series of built-in functions for what is better handled by regex.
What defines overly complex?
For some reason, people seem to have the idea that pattern matching of
strings must be a single expression, no matter how complicated the
pattern they're trying to match. If we have a complicated task to do in
almost any other field, we don't hesitate to write a function to do it,
or even multiple functions: we break our code up into small,
understandable, testable pieces. We recognise that a five-line function
may very well be less complex than a one-line expression that does the
same thing. But if it's a string pattern matching task, we somehow become
resistant to the idea of writing a function and treat one-line
expressions as simpler, no matter how convoluted they become.
It's as if we decided that every maths problem had to be solved by a
single expression, no matter how complex, and invented a painfully terse
language unrelated to normal maths syntax for doing so:
# Calculate the roots of sin**2(3*x-y):
result = me.compile({^g.?+*y:h}|\Y^r(?P:2+)|\w+(xy)|[?#\s]).solve()
That's not to say that regexes aren't useful, or that they don't have
advantages. They are well-studied from a theoretical basis. You don't
have to re-invent the wheel: the re module provides useful pattern
matching functionality with quite good performance.
One disadvantage is that you have to learn an entire new language, a
language which is painfully terse and obfuscated, with virtually no
support for debugging. Larry Wall has criticised the Perl regex syntax on
a number of grounds:
* things which look similar often are very different;
* things which are commonly needed are long and verbose, while things
which are rarely needed are short;
* too much reliance on too few metacharacters;
* the default is to treat whitespace around tokens as significant,
instead of defaulting to verbose-mode for readability;
* overuse of parentheses;
* difficulty working with non-ASCII data;
* insufficient abstraction;
* even though regexes are source code in a regular expression language,
they're treated as mere strings, even in Perl;
and many others.
http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/apo/A05.html
As programming languages go, regular expressions -- even Perl's regular
expressions on steroids -- are particularly low-level. It's the assembly
language of pattern matching, compared to languages like Prolog, SNOBOL
and Icon. These languages use patterns equivalent in power to Backus-Naur
Form grammars, or context-free grammars, much more powerful and readable
than regular expressions.
But in any case, not all text processing problems are pattern-matching
problems, and even those that are don't necessarily require the 30lb
sledgehammer of regular expressions.
I find it interesting to note that there is such a thing as regex
culture, as Larry Wall describes it. There seems to be a sort of
programmers' machismo about solving problems via regexes, even when
they're not the right tool for the job, and in the fewest number of
characters possible. I think regexes have a bad reputation because of
regex culture, and not just within Python circles either:
http://echochamber.me/viewtopic.php?f=11t=57405
For the record, I'm not talking about Because It's There regexes like
this this 6343-character monster:

or these:
http://mail.pm.org/pipermail/athens-pm/2003-January/33.html

The fact that these exist at all is amazing and wonderful. And yes, I
admire the Obfuscated C and Underhanded C contests too :)

Python Line Intersection
Hello This is partly Python related, although it might end up being more math related. I am using PyGTK (GUI builder for Python) and I need to find the intersection point for two lines. It is easy to do, even if you only have the four points describing line segments (http://www.maths.abdn.ac.uk/~igc/tch/eg1006/notes/node23.html). However, it requires that you solve for two equations. How can I do this in Python, either solve equations, or calculating intersection points some other way?

Tough sorting problem: or, I'm confusing myself
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a good way of doing the following:
Each n-tuple in combinations( range( 2 ** m ), n ) has a corresponding
value n-tuple (call them scores for clarity later). I'm currently
storing them in a dictionary, by doing:
res={}
for i in itertools.combinations( range( 2**m ) , n):
res[ i ] = getValues( i )# getValues() is computationally
expensive
For each (n-1)-tuple, I need to find the two numbers that have the
highest scores versus them. I know this isn't crystal clear, but
hopefully an example will help: with m=n=3:
Looking at only the (1, 3) case, assuming:
getValues( (1, 2, 3) ) == ( -200, 125, 75 )# this contains the
highest other score, where 2 scores 125
getValues( (1, 3, 4) ) == ( 50, -50, 0 )
getValues( (1, 3, 5) ) == ( 25, 300, -325 )
getValues( (1, 3, 6) ) == ( -100, 0, 100 )# this contains the
second-highest, where 6 scores 100
getValues( (1, 3, 7) ) == ( 80, -90, 10 )
getValues( (1, 3, 8) ) == ( 10, -5, -5 )
I'd like to return ( (2, 125), (6, 100) ).
The most obvious (to me) way to do this would be not to generate the
res dictionary at the beginning, but just to go through each
combinations( range( 2**m), n-1) and try every possibility... this
will test each combination n times, however, and generating those
values is expensive. [e.g. (1,2,3)'s scores will be generated when
finding the best possibilities for (1,2), (1,3) and (2,3)]
What I'm doing now is ugly, and i think is where i'm confusing myself:
best2={}
for i in itertools.combinations( range( 2**m), n-1):
scorelist=[]
for j in range( 2**m ):
if j not in i:
k=list(i)
k.append(j)
k=tuple(sorted(k))#gets the key for looking up the
scores in res
scorelist.append((j,res[k][k.index(j)]))
best2[i]=sorted(scorelist,key=lambda x: -x[1])[:2]
Am I missing an obviously better way?
Many thanks!

Cheers Peyman Askari It is purely a math question, having nothing to do with Python. But I'll answer it anyway: Your problem is equivalent to solving a system of two equations in two unknowns. If you can put those equations in the following form a*x + b*y = c d*x + e*y = f then the solution is x = (c*e - b*f) / (a*e - b*d) y = (a*f - c*d) / (a*e - b*d) If the denominator is zero then the lines are parallel, and there is no (unique) solution. (There are other was of solving the system, but they will all amount to the same arithmetic, and will, of course, produce the same result.)

Given: y = mx + b y = nx + c We set them equal and solve for x: mx + b = nx + c mx - nx = c - b (m-n)x = c - b x = (c - b) / (m-n) So we now have a formula for x. y can then be calculated using the numerical value of x and one of the original formulas for y. If your equations are not in slope-intercept form, the same approach works, just use different, appropriate initial equations. Alternately, you could use a linear algebra library to solve the system of equations; NumPy sounds like it has at least part of one. But this is probably overkill for such a simple problem.

Re: Imports again...
Okay, what you all say makes sense, and I am going to try the package
thing again. The modes dir is from my last attempt, as is its
weather subdir. I think I see what I did wrong, at least I hope I
do. I will also remove the init file from the main dir. Yes, arm is
the main directory of the program. Also, I will try to update things
so that most imports happen from the dependencies folder, avoiding the
need to install/copy so much to your local install of Python. Here is
a traceback of the program as it is right now; this is from the exact
same version as the .zip file contains.

Try to organize your modules hierarchically, so modules higher in the hierarchy may import (and use) other modules lower in the hierarchy, but not the other way around. Doing it that way helps also to make clear the intent of each module (and class). The 'main' script should be at the top of the hierarchy: 'main' may import anything, but no one may import 'main'.

Two comments: 1) None of the Linux serial drivers I've worked on return line states except when you call TIOCMGET. 2) If the TIOCMBI[S|C] call returned a 'success' value, then the line was set to what you requested. If you want to read back the state that you just wrote, you can call TIOCMGET, but for the output pins it's always going to return the last value that was written. For example I may want to drop RTS explicitly, and assert that the line has been dropped before returning. Call TIOCMSET. If it doesn't return an error, then you're done. Here is a brief snippet of code that I've been using to do that, but not sure what to do with the returned response: What returned response? The only thing that is returned by TIOCMBIS/TIOCMBIC is a status value of 0 for success and 0 for failure. IIRC, that value is checked by Python'sfcntl.ioctl wrapper and it will raise an exception on failure. Is someone familiar with manipulating serial signals like this in python? Yes. Am I even taking the right approach by using thefcntl.ioctl call? Yes. When you set/clear RTS or DTR do they not go up/down?

Yes, because otherwise you wouldn’t have stupid problems like the one
which is preoccupying this thread: how to make sure indentation is
consistent without introducing logic errors into the code.
I don't see the problem here.
The OP has code which is already correctly indented. He wants to re-
indent it, from two spaces to four. As I see it, even a simple-minded
string replacement from 2 to 4 spaces should Just Work, provided you
don't care about extra spacing potentially being introduced into strings,
comments, etc.
E.g. if you have this (already ugly) code:
def f(a):
x = 42
if a 0:
return a # Return a untouched.
else:
for i in range( x ) : # Do pointless work
pass
this_is_a_very_long_line = ( 2, 4, 5,
7, 9)
return a+1
and just do a simple string replacement, you get this:
def f(a):
x =42
if a 0:
return a# Return a untouched.
else:
for i in range(x):# Do pointless work
pass
this_is_a_very_long_line= ( 2, 4,5,
7, 9)
return a+1
which is still ugly, but continues to work correctly. The only way to
break working code by re-indenting in such a simple-minded fashion is if
the layout of string literals is significant.
But of course no professional-quality re-indenter program would just do a
simple-minded replace(' ', '') on the source code, any more than a
professional-quality code beautifier for a brace language would just add
newlines and spaces around every brace it saw.
A less simple-minded re-indenter would only replace *indentation*, not
random whitespace. In that case, how could it break anything? Since the
indents are correct, you are mapping indents of 2, 4, 6, 8, ... spaces to
4, 8, 12, 16, What do you think will break?
If you start with broken indentation, it is difficult to fix, but that's
not the OP's problem. In a brace language (whether you spell them { } or
BEGIN END or START-BLOCK-HERE and END-BLOCK-HERE) if you start with
inconsistent braces, it is equally difficult to fix. Invalid code is
invalid code no matter what language you are using, and in general can't
be mechanically fixed. If the nature of the breakage is such that the
code is inconsistent or ambiguous, you need to *read* and *understand* it
to fix it, no matter whether you have braces or indents.

Re: Performance of list vs. set equality operations
I don't know if it's a good fix anyway. If you subclass an internal type, you can certainly supply your own rich comparison methods, which would (IMO) put the CPU computation burden where it belongs if you decide to do something goofy like subclass a list and then override __len__. We're all consenting adults, that's the Python philosophy, isn't it? If I decide to make stupid things, it's my fault. I don't see why Python should have to prevent that. Perhaps so for pure python classes, but the C builtins are another story. The C containers directly reference underlying structure and methods for several reasons. The foremost reason is that if their internal invariants are violated, they can segfault. A list's __getitem__ method needs to know the real length (not what you report in __len__) if it is to avoid writing objects outside of its allocated memory range. Another reason is efficiency -- the cost of attribute lookups is high and would spoil the performance of the builtins if they could not access their underlying structure and friend methods directly. It is important to have those perform well because they are used heavily in everyday programming. There are also couple of OOP design considerations. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open/closed_principle is one example. Encapsulation is another example. If you override __len__ in order to influence the behavior of __eq__, then you're relying on an implementation detail, not the published interface. Eventhough the length check is an obvious optimization for list equality and set equality, there is no guarantee that other implementations of Python use that same pattern. my-two-cents-ly yours, Raymond -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The two options to fix this are:

2. Modify the PyDoc in posixmodule.c as Todd suggested.
I had attached a patch which solves the issue using solution '2'.
Also I observed that os.makedirs() have no such issue even though it uses
os.mkdir() because it uses 'mkdir(name, mode)' to call mkdir.

[issue8354] siginterrupt with flag=False is reset when signal received

This is not the documented behaviour, and I do not think this is a desireable behaviour. It renders siginterrupt effectively useless at providing the robustness against EINTR it is intended to provide. Attached is a fairly simple program to show this using SIGWINCH: run it in a resizeable terminal, and resize it twice. Notice that on the second terminal resize (i.e. the second SIGWINCH signal) the program crashes with an EINTR from the os.read. A partial workaround for the problem is to call signal.siginterrupt(somesig, False) again inside your signal handler, but it's very fragile. It depends on Python getting a chance to run the Python function registered by the signal.signal call, but this is not guaranteed. If there's frequent IO, that workaround might suffice. For the sig-test.py example attached to this bug, it doesn't (try it). The cause seems to be that signal_handler in signalmodule.c unconditionally does PyOS_setsig(sig_num, signal_handler) [except for SIGCHLD], which unconditionally invokes siginterrupt(sig, 1). A possible fix would be to add a 'int siginterrupt_flag;' to the Handlers array, and arrange for that value to be passed instead of the hard-coded 1. Another might be to not call PyOS_setsig from signal_handler at all -- I'm not sure why it is trying to reinstall itself, but perhaps there's some issue there I'm not aware of. -- components: Library (Lib) files: sig-test.py messages: 102688 nosy: spiv severity: normal status: open title: siginterrupt with flag=False is reset when signal received type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16837/sig-test.py ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8354 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8108] test_ftplib fails with OpenSSL 0.9.8m
Darryl Miles darryl.mi...@darrylmiles.org added the comment: In order to build Python with a specific version of OpenSSL followed the CYGWIN instructions and edited Modules/Setup to make it read (note - I added -L$(SSL) into the linker options too, since by default on CentOS 5.4 i386 OpenSSL build in static library mode ala ../openssl-1.0.0/libssl.a) : SSL=../openssl-1.0.0 _ssl _ssl.c \ -DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \ -L$(SSL)/lib -L$(SSL) -lssl -lcrypto It is not clear to me what Python's goals are: * To be backward compatible, in which case I don't know your historical use of SSL_shutdown(). * To be a thin-layer (1:1) over OpenSSL, so that power users can harness the full potential of OpenSSL if they are willing to understand the finer points. * To provide a full-featured Python API. * To provide a Python API that is easy to use within the Python paradigm. These goals may not be convergent. -- nosy: +dlmiles Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16838/python_ssl.c.txt ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8108 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue7978] SocketServer doesn't handle syscall interruption
Andrew Bennetts s...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: Note that a trivial untilConcludes isn't correct for select if a timeout was passed. If a select(..., 60) was interrupted after 59 seconds, you probably want to restart it with a timeout of 1 second, not 60. The SocketServer_eintr.diff patch has this flaw. -- nosy: +spiv ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7978 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
