Yes, nobody's disputing that. A good database will do what you tell it, and keep the data you give it. But what if you tell it the wrong thing or give it the wrong data? It's like, for example, a RAID array will save you from a faulty disk, but will not save you from the software writing incorrect data, which the RAID array will then faithfully copy across to all the disks overwriting the good data. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Right, but that's true only when writable connections are being pooled, which should be avoidable in many cases. Any pool worth its salt should rollback any potentially pending transactions of a connection when it is given back that pooled connection. Unless explicitely told not to.

[RELEASE] Python 3.13.0RC2, 3.12.6, 3.11.10, 3.10.15, 3.9.20, and 3.8.20 are now available!
Hi there! A big joint release today. Mostly security fixes but we also have the final release candidate of 3.13 so let’s start with that! Python 3.13.0RC2 Final opportunity to test and find any show-stopper bugs before we bless and release 3.13.0 final on October 1st. Get it here: Python Release Python 3.13.0rc2 | Python.org <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130rc2/> Call to action We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to prepare their projects for 3.13 compatibilities during this phase, and where necessary publish Python 3.13 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the final release of 3.13.0. Any binary wheels built against Python 3.13.0rc2 will work with future versions of Python 3.13. As always, report any issues to the Python bug tracker <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues>. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and while it’s as close to the final release as we can get it, its use is notrecommended for production environments. Core developers: time to work on documentation now Are all your changes properly documented? Are they mentioned in What’s New <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html>? Did you notice other changes you know of to have insufficient documentation? As a reminder, until the final release of 3.13.0, the 3.13 branch is set up so that the Release Manager (@thomas <https://discuss.python.org/u/thomas>) has to merge the changes. Please add him (@Yhg1s on GitHub) to any changes you think should go into 3.13.0. At this point, unless something critical comes up, it should really be documentation only. Other changes (including tests) will be pushed to 3.13.1. New features in Python 3.13 A new and improved interactive interpreter <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#a-better-interactive-interpreter>, based on PyPy <https://pypy.org/>’s, featuring multi-line editing and color support, as well as colorized exception tracebacks <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages>. An experimental free-threaded build mode <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#free-threaded-cpython>, which disables the Global Interpreter Lock, allowing threads to run more concurrently. The build mode is available as an experimental feature in the Windows and macOS installers as well. A preliminary, experimental JIT <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#experimental-jit-compiler>, providing the ground work for significant performance improvements. The locals() builtin function (and its C equivalent) now has well-defined semantics when mutating the returned mapping <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#defined-mutation-semantics-for-locals>, which allows debuggers to operate more consistently. The (cyclic) garbage collector is now incremental <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#incremental-garbage-collection>, which should mean shorter pauses for collection in programs with a lot of objects. A modified version of mimalloc <https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc> is now included, optional but enabled by default if supported by the platform, and required for the free-threaded build mode. Docstrings now have their leading indentation stripped <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#other-language-changes>, reducing memory use and the size of .pyc files. (Most tools handling docstrings already strip leading indentation.) The dbm module <https://docs.python.org/3.13/library/dbm.html> has a new dbm.sqlite3 backend <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#dbm> that is used by default when creating new files. The minimum supported macOS version was changed from 10.9 to 10.13 (High Sierra). Older macOS versions will not be supported going forward. WASI is now a Tier 2 supported platform <https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#tier-2>. Emscripten is no longer an officially supported platform <https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#no-longer-supported-platforms> (but Pyodide <https://pyodide.org/>continues to support Emscripten). iOS is now a Tier 3 supported platform <https://peps.python.org/pep-0730/>, with Android on the way as well <https://peps.python.org/pep-0738/>. Python 3.12.6 This is an expedited release for 3.12 due to security content. The schedule returns back to regular programming in October. One notable change for macOS users: as mentioned in the previous release of 3.12, this release drops support for macOS versions 10.9 through 10.12. Versions of macOS older than 10.13 haven’t been supported by Apple since 2019, and maintaining support for them has become too difficult. (All versions of Python 3.13 have already dropped support for them.) Get it here: Python Release Python 3.12.6 | Python.org <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3126/> 92 commits.

BitChan (python project)
from https://github.com/813492291816/BitChan BitChan is a decentralized anonymous imageboard inspired by BitBoard and built on top of Bitmessage with Tor, I2P, and GnuPG. BitChan solves a number of security and free speech problems that have plagued most imageboards. Centralized imageboards can be taken offline or hijacked and can leak user data. BitChan reduces the likelihood of this by being decentralized, allowing each user to host their own instance of the software, requiring all connections to go through Tor/I2P, and not requiring JavaScript. Users of centralized forums often have to deal with overzealous moderators and sometimes even pressure from state powers that tend to suffocate the forum's culture. BitChan's moderation is multifaceted, but to be brief, the option exists to create entirely unmoderatable boards to post content on. Due to its decentralized design, BitChan cannot be moderated by its developers, the government, or any other entity. Indeed, there is no way to disconnect BitChan from the internet, and as long as people are still running Bitmessage, BitChan is completely untouchable. ─┏┓──┏━━┓───┏━━┓──Spooky Mart Channel ─┗━━┓─┃──┗┓─┃───┗┓─┃──[chan] 711 ┃─┃──┏┛─┗┓──┏┛─┗┓─always open | stay spooky ┗━┛──┗━━━┛──┗━━━┛─https://bitmessage.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

RE: [Tutor] Getting a Process.start() error pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle : it's not found as __builtin__.module with Python 2.7
Unfortunately, Alan, even though 2.7 was considered pickled, people keep
taking it back out of the bottle and wondering why it does not work so well!
There are companies like Microsoft and Samsung that let people know their OS
on their devices will no longer be supported with updates and some apps may
no longer work if downloaded. And, yet, I bet for years afterwards, people
will refuse to upgrade because they don't want to replace equipment or even
learn a new slightly different interface.
Having said that, I understand many people are stuck for various reasons and
are required to use whatever version is officially allowed. For some
questions, answers may still be provided. There are some workarounds or even
newer packages designed to do what is not otherwise available.
But many of us here may not be answering the questions as we have no reason
to be able to access the old software or interest.

Others have pointed out that 2.7 is unsupported and has
been for many years now. Its also inferior in most
respects including its error reporting.

So what does happen? If you put a print statement here does it execute
before or after the error message? It might make things easier to
debug(clearer error traceback) if you put the code to create the thread
into a separate function?
def do_Something(text)...
def start(fn):
q = Process
q.start()
if __name_
start(do_something)
print('Something here')

But please show us the full error trace even if its not much.
Also check your module naming, is there a possibility
you've named your file do_something.py or similar?
(I'm guessing the function is what is being pickled?)

Why not just use the Threading module?
If it's as simple as just running something in a
thread multiprocessing is probably not needed.

Re: [Tutor] Getting a Process.start() error pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle : it's not found as __builtin__.module with Python 2.7
Hello Alan,
Thanks for the reply, Here's the code I tested for the debug:
import time
from multiprocessing import Process
def do_Something():
print('hello world!')
def start(fn):
p = Process(target=fn, args=())
p.start()
def ghello():
print ("hello world g")
def fhello():
print('hello world f')
if __name__ == "__main__":
start(do_something)
print("executed")
exit(0)
but neither "Hello World" or "Executed" are displayed in the console which
finishes normally without returning any message.
Module naming is OK and don't think it is a problem related to that.
Now the question, when to use Process/Multiprocess and when to use
Threading in Python?.Thread is there a distinctive use case that can
showcase when to use either? are they interchangeable? to note that using
Threading the console DID display the messages correctly!
Thanks.

Getting a Process.start() error pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle : it's not found as __builtin__.module with Python 2.7
Hello,
I am using Python 2.7 on Windows 10 and I want to launch a process
independently of the rest of the code so that the execution continues while
the started process proceeds. I am using Process().start() from Python 2.7
as follows:
from multiprocessing import Process
def do_something(text):
print(text)
if __name__ == "__main__":
q = Process(target=do_something,args=("somecmd") )
q.start()
# following code should execute right after the q.start() call (not
until it returns)
.
But getting the error at the call of Process().start():
pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle : it's not found as
__builtin__.module
anybody could provide an alternative to call the function do_something() in
a separate thread ?

ANN: EmPy 4.2 -- a powerful, robust and mature templating system for Python
# EmPy 4.2 release announcement
I'm pleased to announce the release of EmPy 4.2.
The 4._x_ series is a modernization of the software and a revamp of
the EmPy system to update its feature set and make it more consistent
with the latest Python versions and practices. EmPy 4._x_ was also
relicensed to BSD.
The 4._x_ series adds new markups, including inline comments,
backquote literals, chained if-then-else extended expression,
functional expressions, support for modern Pythonic controls,
stringized and multiline significators, disabling and re-enabling
output, named escapes, diacritics, icons, emojis, and customizable
extension markups.
It adds support for configuration objects (replacing options
dictionaries); native support for Unicode, file buffering, reference
counted `sys.stdout` proxies and error dispatchers and handlers; fixes
several serious bugs; has a set of full unit and system tests, an
extensive builtin help system; and the online documention has been
rewritten and expanded. It also allows customizing the underlying
interpreter core and full support for EmPy modules -- EmPy documents
which can be imported as modules.
Attempts have been made to make EmPy 4._x_ as backward compatible as
is practical. Most common markup has not changed; the only changes
being removal of `repr` (in favor of backquote literals) as well as
literal close parenthesis, bracket and brace markup; in-place markup
has changed syntax (to make way for emojis); and extension/custom
markup is now parsed more sensibly.
Most backward-incompatible changes are in the embedding interface.
The `Interpreter` constructor and global `expand` function now require
keyword arguments to prevent further backward compatibility problems,
though effort has been made to make the behavior as backward
compatible as possible. The supported environment variables have
changed, as well as the filter, diversion and hook APIs, and options
dictionaries no longer exist (in deference to configurations).
For a comprehensive list of changes from 3._x_ to 4._x_, see:
<http://www.alcyone.com/software/empy/ANNOUNCE.html#changes>
## Introduction: Welcome to EmPy!
[EmPy](http://www.alcyone.com/software/empy/) is a powerful, robust and
mature
templating system for inserting Python code in template text. EmPy
takes a source document, processes it, and produces output. This is
accomplished via expansions, which are signals to the EmPy system
where to act and are indicated with markup. Markup is set off by a
customizable prefix (by default the at sign, `@`). EmPy can expand
arbitrary Python expressions, statements and control structures in
this way, as well as a variety of additional special forms. The
remaining textual data is sent to the output, allowing Python to be
used in effect as a markup language.
EmPy also supports hooks, which can intercept and modify the behavior
of a running interpreter; diversions, which allow recording and
playback; filters, which are dynamic and can be chained together; and
a dedicated user-customizable callback markup. The system is highly
configurable via command line options, configuration files, and
environment variables. EmPy documents can also be imported as
modules, and an extensive API is also available for embedding EmPy
functionality in your own Python programs.
EmPy also has a supplemental library for additional non-essential
features (`emlib`), a documentation building library used to create
this documentation (`emdoc`), and an extensive help system (`emhelp`)
which can be queried from the command line with the main executable
`em.py` (`-h/--help`, `-H/--topics=TOPICS`). The base EmPy
interpreter can function with only the `em.py`/`em` file/module
available.
EmPy can be used in a variety of roles, including as a templating
system, a text processing system (preprocessing and/or
postprocessing), a simple macro processor, a frontend for a content
management system, annotating documents, for literate programming, as
a souped-up text encoding converter, a text beautifier (with macros
and filters), and many other purposes.
### Markup overview
Expressions are embedded in text with the `@(...)` notation;
variations include conditional expressions with `@(...?...!...)` and
the ability to handle thrown exceptions with `@(...$...)`. As a
shortcut, simple variables and expressions can be abbreviated as
`@variable`, `@object.attribute`, `@sequence[index]`,
`@function(arguments...)`, `@function{markup}{...}` and
combinations. Full-fledged statements are embedded with `@{...}`.
Control flow in terms of conditional or repeated expansion is
available with `@[...]`. A `@` followed by any whitespace character
(including a newline) expands to nothing, allowing string
concatenations and line continuations. Line comments are indicated
with `@#...` including the trailing newline. `@*...*` allows inline
comments. Output can be disabled and re-enabled with `@-...` and
`@+...`. Escapes are ind

[RELEASE] Python 3.12.5 released
Python 3.12.5 is now available: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3125/ This is the fifth maintenance release of Python 3.12 Python 3.12 is the newest major release of the Python programming language, and it contains many new features and optimizations. 3.12.5 is the latest maintenance release, containing more than 250 bugfixes, build improvements and documentation changes since 3.12.4. This version of Python 3.12 also comes with pip 24.2 by default. *However, due to an incompatibility with older macOS versions, macOS 10.9 through 10.12 will downgrade their version of pip to 24.1.2 during the installation process* (in the Install Certificates step). See the installer ReadMe and the pip issue on the matter <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12901> for more information. Versions of macOS older than 10.13 haven’t been supported by Apple since 2019, and maintaining support for them is becoming increasingly difficult. While this release of 3.12 still supports them, *it is likely that we will be forced to drop support for macOS 10.12 and older in a future 3.12 release*. (Python 3.13 has already dropped support for them.) <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-12-5-now-available/60219#p-182613-major-new-features-of-the-312-series-compared-to-311-2>Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11 <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-12-5-now-available/60219#p-182613-new-features-3>New features - More flexible f-string parsing <https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#pep-701-syntactic-formalization-of-f-strings>, allowing many things previously disallowed (PEP 701 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0701/>). - Support for the buffer protocol <https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#pep-688-making-the-buffer-protocol-accessible-in-python> in Python code (PEP 688 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0688/>). - A new debugging/profiling API <https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#pep-669-low-impact-monitoring-for-cpython> (PEP 669 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0669/>). - Support for isolated subinterpreters <https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#pep-684-a-per-interpreter-gil> with separate Global Interpreter Locks (PEP 684 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0684>). - Even more improved error messages <https://docs.python.org/3.12/whatsnew/3.12.html#improved-error-messages>.

Issue bootstrapping Python - troubleshooting steps?
Hi! I'm working on a Linux From Scratch sort of system, and part of that is bootstrapping Python. I'm running into an error message in the compilation though - could anyone help me with next steps on troubleshooting the error?

why reply to me instead of to the list? It's generally considered bad form to do so. Do you have any python 3 installed on your system? Or python 2.7?

The usual definition of "threads" is that they share data, and the definition of "processes" is that processes don't share data.

Yes, the *system* pip should have some restrictions, if it's a system mainly managed by a package manager. Setting up a venv is the *expected* approach to such situations, and creating one doesn't cause any problems. You end up with a pip in the activated venv that's going to install to a different path (the one in the venv), and will not be marked as externally managed, as the package manager has no control over that path. That's the whole point. What error are you getting? The venv module is not the pip module so restrictions on the system pip have nothing to do with it. set up pyenv activated a venv trying to install python3.12 into it 1. download of python3.12 (blahblahblahetc).deb will not install 2. download of python3.12.tar.xz similarly will not install (venv2) memyself@devuanbigbox:~$ pip install /home/memyself/Downloads/Python-3.12.4.tar.xz Processing ./Downloads/Python-3.12.4.tar.xz ERROR: file:///home/memyself/Downloads/Python-3.12.4.tar.xz does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found. seems that I need a different version (installable as it were) of python3.12 or my approach is all wrong! you can't install Python "into" a venv. you use a version of Python as the base when *creating* a venv, the venv will use the same binary as the base python (symlinks if possible, as in the Linux case), but with different paths. Since you've already got pyenv, use it to build the version you want to use - I think you said there wasn't a deb for 3.12 in your distro? That's something like pyenv install 3.12.4 that will use the build recipe it has... and hopefully work. Distro Pythons sometimes have some strange setups that are hard to reproduce. Pyenv knows how to build micropython, too, should it ever come to that. If you indeed found a deb for the right Python, use apt to install it, and then use *that* Python to create your venv.

Re: Help needed - - running into issues with python and its tools
Your approach is wrong. You don't build python from source using pip. You don't install new versions of python into a venv either.

You need to install Python first to create a venv. AFAIK there is no way to set up a venv first and then install Python into it. Does Devuan have a testing or unstable suite? You might be able to install a newer Python version from that. If not your best bet is to install Python from source. hp -- _ | Peter J.

Entering the release candidate phase, only reviewed code changes which are clear bug fixes are allowed between this release candidate and the final release. The second candidate (and the last planned release preview) is scheduled for Tuesday, 2024-09-03, while the official release of 3.13.0 is scheduled for Tuesday, 2024-10-01. There will be *no ABI changes* from this point forward in the 3.13 series, and the goal is that there will be as few code changes as possible. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-release-candidate-1-released/59703#p-181511-call-to-action-2>Call to action We strongly encourage maintainers of third-party Python projects to prepare their projects for 3.13 compatibilities during this phase, and where necessary publish Python 3.13 wheels on PyPI to be ready for the final release of 3.13.0. Any binary wheels built against Python 3.13.0rc1 *will work* with future versions of Python 3.13. As always, report any issues to the Python bug tracker <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues>. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and while it’s as close to the final release as we can get it, its use is *not* recommended for production environments. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-release-candidate-1-released/59703#p-181511-core-developers-time-to-work-on-documentation-now-3>Core developers: time to work on documentation now - Are all your changes properly documented? - Are they mentioned in What’s New <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html>? - Did you notice other changes you know of to have insufficient documentation? <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-release-candidate-1-released/59703#p-181511-major-new-features-of-the-313-series-compared-to-312-4>Major new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12 Some of the new major new features and changes in Python 3.13 are: <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-release-candidate-1-released/59703#p-181511-new-features-5>New features - A new and improved interactive interpreter <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#a-better-interactive-interpreter>, based on PyPy <https://pypy.org>’s, featuring multi-line editing and color support, as well as colorized exception tracebacks <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages> . - An *experimental* free-threaded build mode <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#free-threaded-cpython>, which disables the Global Interpreter Lock, allowing threads to run more concurrently. The build mode is available as an experimental feature in the Windows and macOS installers as well. - A preliminary, *experimental* JIT <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#experimental-jit-compiler>, providing the ground work for significant performance improvements. - The locals() builtin function (and its C equivalent) now has well-defined semantics when mutating the returned mapping <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#defined-mutation-semantics-for-locals>, which allows debuggers to operate more consistently. - The (cyclic) garbage collector is now incremental <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#incremental-garbage-collection>, which should mean shorter pauses for collection in programs with a lot of objects. - A modified version of mimalloc <https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc> is now included, optional but enabled by default if supported by the platform, and required for the free-threaded build mode. - Docstrings now have their leading indentation stripped <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#other-language-changes>, reducing memory use and the size of .pyc files.

Older macOS versions will not be supported going forward. - WASI is now a Tier 2 supported platform <https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#tier-2>. Emscripten is no longer an officially supported platform <https://peps.python.org/pep-0011/#no-longer-supported-platforms> (but Pyodide <https://pyodide.org> continues to support Emscripten).
[RELEASE] Python 3.13.0 beta 4 released.
Python 3.13.0b4, the final beta of Python 3.13, is now available: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130b4/ *This is a beta preview of Python 3.13* Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0b4, is the *final* beta release preview of 3.13. Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to support the new feature release. We *strongly encourage* maintainers of third-party Python projects to *test with 3.13* during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug tracker <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues> as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Tuesday 2024-07-30). Our goal is to have *no ABI changes* after this final beta release, and as few code changes as possible after 3.13.0rc1, the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be *extremely important* to get as much exposure for 3.13 as possible during the beta phase.

One feature of weechat you may be interested in is it's relay mode: https://weechat.org/files/doc/weechat/stable/weechat_user.en.html#relay If you flipped this architecture around you should be able to run weechat as your bouncer then connect quassel or any other client to weechat with it's IRC relay mode. Weechat also has a list of remote interfaces that can use this https://weechat.org/about/interfaces/ OTOH if you prefer the setup you've got I've had 0 issues with the Python plugins I've written for weechat. A Quassel/weechat proxy plugin should be pretty straight forward and if you prefer a standalone bridge, as others have suggested Python is great for that too! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's exactly the sort of solution I was wondering about. Is there a ready made module/library for handling this sort of thing?

I have to create a list of requirements for v1.0 to limit scope creep and I can actually get this done. I may put it on github and solicit for assistance at some point. Thanks for the response, both of them. I'll look at the other code and see how I can fold it in. What I have to find out, still, is how the core server manages the messages. I suspect the core does all the sending and receiving and the client just sends the packets to core for management. That's just a guess though. I still have to review the liraries, this is a new idea hatched last night so I have yet to investigate much. My initial thought was C++ but this would be my first termianl-only application in many years so I thought a different coding platform would be effective.

Re: python for irc client
Hi. Just FYI, I use Erc (in Emacs). I'm not a very advanced user, perhaps, but I never felt like I miss anything. That's not to stop you from making your own, but if you just need a decent text client for IRC, then there's already at least one.

python for irc client
Hi guys - I have historical experience developing sofwtare for my own use. It has been quite a while since doing so and the advent of new languages has brought me here. Python has built quite a reputation. It would be fun to pick up a new language while I'm at it. I've been a consumer of IRC since the nineties and have been running an instance of quassel core on an old laptop for the last decade. Over the years, my use of xwindows has dramatically decreased and I spend 90% of my computer time with multiple panes of tmux while I do my usual daily fun. One thing missing is a good textmode irc client that will connect to quassel core. I've seen efforts to make a plugin for weechat but, to date, I don't see much progress on that end. In your wisdom, would python be a good environment to accomplish this? I'd likely use extended ascii and colors. The point would be to minimize the memory footprint of the application. I don't use standard desktop computers anymore - I'm writing this on my beloved pi400 using emacs. Thanks Daniel -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
ANN: eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime 2.5.0
*ANNOUNCING* eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime Version 2.5.0 Python runtime taking up just 4-6MB on disk This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: https://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-2.5.0-GA.html *INTRODUCTION* *eGenix PyRun*™ <https://www.egenix.com/company/legal/trademarks.html> is our open source, one file, no installation version of Python, making the distribution of a Python interpreter to run Python based scripts and applications to Unix based systems simple and efficient. eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 4-6MB on disk, but still supports most Python applications and scripts. Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk, eGenix PyRun is ideal for applications and scripts that need to be distributed to containers, VMs, clusters, client installations, customers or end-users. It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as copying a single file. eGenix has been using eGenix PyRun as run-time for the Linux version of mxODBC Connect Server <https://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/> product since 2008 with great success and decided to make it available as a stand-alone open-source product. We provide the source archive to build your own *eGenix PyRun on Github* <https://github.com/eGenix/egenix-pyrun>, as well as a few binary distributions to get you started on Linux x86_64.

[RELEASE] Python 3.13.0 beta 3 released.
The *next to last* Python 3.13 beta version, beta 3, is now released: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130b3/ *This is a beta preview of Python 3.13* Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0b3, is the third of four beta release previews of 3.13. Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to support the new feature release. We *strongly encourage* maintainers of third-party Python projects to *test with 3.13* during the beta phase and report issues found to the Python bug tracker <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues> as soon as possible. While the release is planned to be feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start of the release candidate phase (Tuesday 2024-07-30). Our goal is to have no ABI changes after beta 4 and as few code changes as possible after 3.13.0rc1, the first release candidate. To achieve that, it will be *extremely important* to get as much exposure for 3.13 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not* recommended for production environments. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-beta-3-now-available/56847#major-new-features-of-the-313-series-compared-to-312-1>Major new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12 Some of the new major new features and changes in Python 3.13 are: <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-beta-3-now-available/56847#new-features-2>New features - A new and improved interactive interpreter <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#a-better-interactive-interpreter>, based on PyPy <https://pypy.org>’s, featuring multi-line editing and color support, as well as colorized exception tracebacks <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages> . - An *experimental* free-threaded build mode <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#free-threaded-cpython>, which disables the Global Interpreter Lock, allowing threads to run more concurrently.

The last version of tensorflow to support Python 2.7 was indeed 2.1, and I don't think there was *ever* an official Windows wheel for Python 2, but I'm not that expert to be completely sure. tensorflow support on Windows has never been good, and in a way they've given up, at least part of the fight: they no longer produce official releases for Windows with GPU support (although you may be able to get one from the vendor that produces the GPU hardware like Nvidia or Intel, or from a third party like Amazon Web Services). The official recommendation for WIndows used to be "build your own" (which nearly always failed), then for a few years they tried making Windows builds, now the new "best practice" recommendation is to install on WSL if you want to run on a Windows box (this *might* work for you, unless you're also on an ancient Windows that won't run WSL). Or, try seeing if you can find a docker setup (which, again, will give you a Linux environment running tensorflow). Note that like your other problem, getting numpy going, this is going to be an uphill battle trying to cobble things together to run on 2.7. This is really the problem when something like Python goes out of date / out of support: it's not that it magically stops working, it's that vast amounts of the ecosystem around it stop providing support for *their* bits on the old version, and the combinations become progressively harder to make work. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

RE: [Tutor] How to go about a simple object grabbing in python (given coordinates of arms and objects)
Marc, Several people have supplied feedback on whether your request is a good fit for here. Ultimately it is up to the owner/moderator. In particular, your request to the Tutor List may not fit the purpose and be a bit complex and to the main Python List also outside some common usage whether it is about a specific module or product you are using, or asking about algorithms in a very general way. You question has evolved to being about algorithms, more than about Python as a basic language or even commonly used modules. So, I suggest you simplify your model and then maybe bring it in-line with the module(s) you showed us you were using. Some of what you ask sounds like it would be extremely commonly done in things like robotics, or even just machines with moving parts. Consider the somewhat related concept often seen of how you get from one place to another in parts of Manhattan where most of the streets run either in one direction or the orthogonal direction. How do you get from say East 14th Street at 1st Avenue to West 28th Street and 11th Avenue? This is a slight imitation of how to move a robotic arm that can mainly either go one way or another but not both at once. And, in the real world, parts of Manhattan are more complex with streets ending or renaming or running more diagonally or huge voids like Central Park. The number of solutions is huge for walking, and smaller for driving as some streets are one way. But assuming you avoid wasteful paths (except when roads are closed for endless purposes) and you do not take a path through Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx and back to Manhattan as in the NY Marathon that also touches another borough, the solutions mainly look like this: Go as far horizontally as you need and then as far vertically. Or, do vertical, then horizontal. Or lots of combined versions such as climbing stairs by doing a block or three one way then some in the other and repeat. The above is referred to as Manhattan Distance, as compared to other measures like Euclidean distance. So back to your robot arm, you can see a set of simple solutions where you make a sort of triangle with the direct Euclidean arm being a hypoteneuse and the X and Y movements are the other two sides. You can then break up your problem as heading one way and pausing and turning the other way and stopping just short of the object you want. If there are no obstacles, you can do that in either order. Or, you could alternate in smaller amounts and get to the same destination. Grabbing it would be something else I will not address except to say that depending on what is grabbing and how it is shaped, you may need to aim not for the object, but the appropriate distance and direction so that when you stop moving, the "grasper" can close on it, again, avoiding existing obstacles. And note, speed is a consideration as many things need to be approached slowly and gently. Next, consider what it would mean if you could have a combined motion based on both operations allowed at the same time. Consider a robot that is on wheels that can move horizontally while also having a "lift" component that lifts the part with the graspers vertically. Both could be programmed to run in tandem at appropriate speeds so the graspers are traveling along the hypotenuse I mention and are going the shortest path. This might be faster and more economical in other ways but can be more complex. And, it may be the robot does not have power or computing ability to do both at the same time. Your design is beyond vague. Both of the approaches above make a plan and carry it out. But in the real world, many algorithms must adjust and work somewhat probabilistically. One algorithm for say catching a moving object, especially one that can change speed and direction a bit, like a running dog or a kite flying in the wind, is to locate where the object seems to be now, perhaps just a direction and a guess at distance, and maybe with some observation make a guess at where it might be at some time in the future that is approximately when you might move the robot near there. Then, use a technique like above (or completely different) that perhaps aims to get you something like halfway there. Monitor along the way to update your position and the newest destination position (if it is moving) and re-evaluate and adjust for the next round and maybe evaluate again as you approach halfway or so, again. Eventually, if you are close, slow down and gradually try to come to a stop where you can grab. If the object reacts to your attempting to go after it, it can be complex. And, you may overshoot and sort of circle back. Now, expand the problem more if needed. What does the robot look like. How many places can it bend? For example, can it have something like two or more elbows, perhaps one allowing twisting of up to 30 degrees and one moving forward and backward and another allow

I just tried modifying
https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html#a-hello-world-program
to display "Hello World \N{ROCKET}" instead (Python 3.10.12 as included
with Ubuntu 22.04). I don't get a warning or error, but the emoji isn't
displayed either.
I suspect that the default font doesn't include emojis and Tk isn't
smart enough to fall back to a different font (unlike xfce4-terminal
which shows the emoji just fine).

Re: [Tutor] How to go about a simple object grabbing in python (given coordinates of arms and objects)
What are the parameters to account for in this type of algorithm? are there some checks to perform the arm moves ? for example angle moves or cartesian moves based on some distance thresholds?

How to go about a simple object grabbing in python (given coordinates of arms and objects)
Hello to all of this magnificent community!
I have this problem I had already spent a few days on and still can't
figure out a proper solution.
So, given the x,y,z coordinates of a target object and the offset x,y,z of
arms of a robot, what is a good algorithm to perform to grab the object
between the hands (either from both sides or from below all using both
hands).
Specifically, my problem is applied to a NAO robot environment where I
retrieve a target object coordinates using the following code:
tracker_service= session.service("ALTracker")
xyz_pos = tracker_service.getTargetPosition(motion.FRAME_TORSO)
src:
http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-8/naoqi/motion/control-cartesian.html#motion-cartesian-effectors
Then I get to move the right arm towards nearby the object using the
following code:
effector = "RArm"
frame = motion.FRAME_TORSO
effector_offset =
almath.Transform(self.motion.getTransform(effector, frame, False))
effector_init_3d_position = almath.position3DFromTransform(
effector_offset)
target_3d_position = almath.Position3D(target_position)
move_3d = target_3d_position - effector_init_3d_position
moveTransform = almath.Transform.fromPosition(move_3d.x,
move_3d.y, move_3d.z)
target_transformer_list = list(moveTransform.toVector())
times = [2.0]
axis_mask_list = motion.AXIS_MASK_VEL
self.motion.transformInterpolations(effector, frame,
target_transformer_list, axis_mask_list, times).
src:
http://doc.aldebaran.com/1-14/dev/python/examples/almath/index.html?highlight=offset
This question is specific to NAO environment but in general how to go
about this task? what is a most common algorithm used in this case? Do
I have to also get the side of the object in order to know where
exactly the arms should be placed?

Re: [Tutor] How to go about a simple object grabbing in python (given coordinates of arms and objects)
My code is just an attempt at the task, it is not exact as what relates to
the coordinates (e.g., doesn't account for the size of the object. I would
like to have a idea on the general approach to such problems (even a pseudo
code would do)
"Get the hands rapidly enough in the vicinity and then do some fine
coordinated motions to capture the object and then presumably move it."
seems to be a good approach indeed,
The grabbing with both hands code should be more precise.
Thanks for the help anyways!

You don't actually have proper Unicode support. You have a broken implementation that works for UCS-2 but doesn't actually support astral characters. If you switch to a Linux system, it should work correctly, and you'll be able to migrate the rest of the way onto Python 3. Once you achieve that, you'll be able to operate on Windows or Linux equivalently, since Python 3 solved this problem.

Decoding bytes to text strings in Python 2
I'm curious about something I've encountered while updating a very old Tk app (originally written in Python 1, but I've ported it to Python 2 as a first step towards getting it running on modern systems). The app downloads emails from a POP server and displays them. At the moment, the code is completely unaware of character encodings (which is something I plan to fix), and I have found that I don't understand what Python is doing when no character encoding is specified. To demonstrate, I have written this short example program that displays a variety of UTF-8 characters to check whether they are decoded properly: Example Code import Tkinter as tk window = tk.Tk() mytext = """ \xc3\xa9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE \xc5\x99 LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH CARON \xc4\xb1 LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I \xef\xac\x84 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFL \xe2\x84\x9a DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Q \xc2\xbd VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF \xe2\x82\xac EURO SIGN \xc2\xa5 YEN SIGN \xd0\x96 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER ZHE \xea\xb8\x80 HANGUL SYLLABLE GEUL \xe0\xa4\x93 DEVANAGARI LETTER O \xe5\xad\x97 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-5B57 \xe2\x99\xa9 QUARTER NOTE \xf0\x9f\x90\x8d SNAKE \xf0\x9f\x92\x96 SPARKLING HEART """ mytext = mytext.decode(encoding="utf-8") greeting = tk.Label(text=mytext) greeting.pack() window.mainloop() End Example Code This works exactly as expected, with all the characters displaying correctly. However, if I comment out the line 'mytext = mytext.decode (encoding="utf-8")', the program still displays *almost* everything correctly. All of the characters appear correctly apart from the two four-byte emoji characters at the end, which instead display as four characters. For example, the "SNAKE" character actually displays as: U+00F0 LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH U+FF9F HALFWIDTH KATAKANA SEMI-VOICED SOUND MARK U+FF90 HALFWIDTH KATAKANA LETTER MI U+FF8D HALFWIDTH KATAKANA LETTER HE What's Python 2 doing here? sys.getdefaultencoding() returns 'ascii', but it's clearly not attempting to display the bytes as ASCII (or cp1252, or ISO-8859-1). How is it deciding on some sort of almost-but- not-quite UTF-8 decoding? I am using Python 2.7.18 on a Windows 10 system. If there's any other relevant information I should provide please let me know. Many thanks, Rayner -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The example exception is not what bothers me. The syntax change is nowhere near as useful as `with` and context managers. They provide an excellent idiom for resource usage and release.
