I think there's another problem with a race in the code.  Unlocking
before closing means that, at least in theory, the reader could open,
lock, and read the file between the writer's unlock and close, at which
time the new content hasn't been flushed from the buffers into the OS
(I was going to say "to disk", but unless you explicitly sync this sort
of constantly-changing test file may never get to disk at all).

The call to `fp.flush()` that I noted in my first email should have
taken care of this completely; are you seeing otherwise?

I run tests based on your suggestion and it fixed the problem completely in my stress tests.

That piece of code was a simplified version of code used to test internationalization in web2py. We never experienced problems with internationalization because the translation files are very rarely overwritten and the race condition never happens. Yet the stress test was failing because it assumed the files were overwritten by many concurrent requests.

I have patched web2py using your suggestion and your contribution has been acknowledged in the commit:
https://github.com/mdipierro/web2py/commit/02e7f38da7995e711698bf0fb2294d4243a96a73
(In the same patch I also re-factored some other pieces of web2py).

Thanks again for your help.

Massimo

Looking forward to seeing you at Pycon. I'm here as part of the AV team and
can say one thing, this place is HUGE, bring your walking shoes. :)

Also, it's very warm here and they say we brought the wind with us from
Chicago.

our sponsored folks (and allow those going to the Testing BOF  to drop in
and say hello, also starts at 7pm).

Topics: TBD (lightening talks, perhaps the 3.2 one I mentioned?)

Anybody want to give a quick talk?

Very true.  Great job, Brian.

Incidentally, although I haven't been very active the last few years, I
would be interested in stepping in to help with the list if no-one else
is already moving in as a replacement.

Subject: [Chicago] Using split to arrays
Message-ID: <CANNZindrst8iPfK3xxQ=FAh6RM36zK_cFA0rOgi=jqELcWjNnw@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings ChiPy,

I'm having an issue reading a file into two arrays (or one
multi-dimensional array):

The file is formatted like this (a simple comma delimited text file).

09:30:17,100,120.42,,
09:30:31,600,120.31,100,
09:30:37,600,120.31,,
09:30:47,500,120.3,,
09:30:50,100,120.3,,
09:30:50,100,120.2985,,

I need each data field to be its own array element. (which is where
I'm having a problem).  I can read each in line and create a list
array, but I can't use the split function on a list array.

The code is as follows:

import csv
import collections
d = collections.defaultdict(int)
execution=[]
details=[]
data=[]

marguse=0
avlmargin=0

execution=open('/home/freddy/Margin2.txt'.strip(),'r')

for line in execution:
    linedat=line.strip().split(",")
    details.append(linedat)

print details[0]

The code output is as such: ['09:30:17', '100', '120.42', '', ''] but
it is a an array of lists. I'm trying to figure out the best way to
iterate through the execution array and create another array. I'm
fairly sure its the way I am opening and reading the file but I'm not
sure.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Freddy

Couple things to help clarify:

1: You're importing the csv library, but you're not using it. If you use
it, it'll take care of all the comma parsing for you, probably better than
you or I could think to do it. http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html

2: I'm not sure what exactly you're asking for. Execution is a list of
lists. You want just one list of data items? Do you want to append the
lists in execution into one list or something? Maybe give an example of the
sort of output you're looking for?

Not completely understanding the question, but maybe you want to use + to
merge the lists instead of append to append a list

for line in execution:
   linedat=line.strip().split(",")
   details += linedat

Yea,

I deleted the csv instances. I'm not planning on using the csv.

Ideally, I would like executions to be a list of lists. For example,
executions[0] would contain the following elements

[0, 09:30:17,'100,120.42',0 ] (where the last element is blank or zero)

executions[1]

[1,09:30:31,600,120.31,100]

You might also checkout csvkit.  pretty sweet replacement for the csv
stdlib module.

Is your issue that you want stuff not to be strings?  What you
currently have is details[0] is
['09:30:17', '100', '120.42', '', '']
It is an array of strings, which can be treated as lists.  If you want
to get the stuff to not be strings you will need to parse them...
Something like
notStrings = [datetime.strptime(details[0][0], "%H:%M:%S").time(),
int(details[0][1]), float(details[0][2]), int(details[0][3]) if
details[0][3] else 0, int(details[0][4]) if details[0][4] else 0]

J.D.,

Yes, that's more to the point of what I need in the details array. I
assume the notStrings parser would be run in its own for loop that
would turn the strings into elements of an array?

Subject: [Chicago] April Talk Topic Python 3.2 Features
Message-ID: <CANKg38ssJST6BL-U+QNH9O64C=e58QSygMeA1WQ9C7iURAFDbA@mail.gmail.com>

Does anybody want to present on
this<http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.2.html>at our April
meeting (at Groupon.com)? Is this a good topic (can I get a
+1)? If I can not convince someone else on presenting I am sure I can
probably do something for 20-30 minutes.

I had some food for thought (my example code and notes) while reviewing
3.2.  I am not a 3 expert at all and have been stuck in the 2.X world for
ages.

I found: 2 things I like and 2 things I do not quite understand (my advance
apologies if your email reader does not support html):

*Like 1)* concurrent.futures seems pretty neat. However I had to realize
(doh) how exceptions are caught and be sure to get those with
future.exceptions(). See my commented out 1/0 below to raise an exception
in the body of a future *thing*

import concurrent.futures
import time
import random

def _(): time.sleep(random.randint(0,9)) # ; 1/0

pool_size = random.randint(5,15)
print('printing {s} items finding'
      ' squares between 1 and {s}'.format(s=pool_size))

# Callback when each is done
def cb(future):
    if future.exception() is not None:
        print('generated an exception: %s' % future.exception())
    else:
        print(future.result())

# A simple runner based on pool_size
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=pool_size) as e:
    for i in range(pool_size):
        i += 1
        e.submit(lambda x: _() or (x,x**2), i).add_done_callback(cb)


*Like 2) *Caching with functools lru_cache


import functools


@functools.lru_cache(maxsize=300)
def function_that_does_heavy_lifting(same_thing):
    print( "should only print once for {}".format(same_thing) )
    return same_thing

print(function_that_does_heavy_lifting("beer"))
print(function_that_does_heavy_lifting("beer"))
print(function_that_does_heavy_lifting("juice"))
print(function_that_does_heavy_lifting("beer"))
print(function_that_does_heavy_lifting("juice"))
print(function_that_does_heavy_lifting("juice"))


should only print once for beer
beer
beer
should only print once for juice
juice
beer
juice
juice

*Question 1) * Why does {} have 0?


table = {'Sjoerd': 4127, 'Jack': 4098, 'Dcab': 8637678}
print('Jack: {0[Jack]:d}; Sjoerd: {0[Sjoerd]:d}; '
           'Dcab: {0[Dcab]:d}'.format(table))

Jack: 4098; Sjoerd: 4127; Dcab: 8637678

*Question 2)* what is the difference between nonlocal and global?

def scope_test():
    def do_local():
        spam = "local spam"
    def do_nonlocal():
        nonlocal spam
        spam = "nonlocal spam"
    def do_global():
        global spam
        spam = "global spam"

    spam = "test spam"
    do_local()
    print("After local assignment:", spam)
    do_nonlocal()
    print("After nonlocal assignment:", spam)
    do_global()
    print("After global assignment:", spam)

scope_test()
print("In global scope:", spam)

FYI this <http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/classes.html> says """The
global <http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/simple_stmts.html#global>statement
can be used to indicate that particular variables live in the
global scope and should be rebound there; the
nonlocal<http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/simple_stmts.html#nonlocal>statement
indicates that particular variables live in an enclosing scope
and should be rebound there.""" However, I do not understand yet fully what
that means.


Cheers, Brian

For the format thing, the {} has 0, because you are formatting
argument 0.  You could also make it table['Jack'] instead of 0['Jack']
and have .format(table=table)

nonlocal means that it is scoped outside of the current scope, but not
all the way up in global...

def bob(myvar):
  def subfunc():
    nonlocal myvar
    return myvar * 10
  return subfunc

If you're just passing a single dict like this, you can unpack it and
access the values directly by key without worrying about an index.

print('Jack: {Jack:d}; Sjoerd: {Sjoerd:d}; Dcab: {Dcab:d}'.format(**table))

So, technically, nonlocal is the previous frame? I can think of some cases I want to check this out to see what it does. For instance, if a class has self.foo and within a method could I just nonlocal foo?

Are you interested in a talk on running web2py dal/template/forms under flask, bottle, pyramid, django, tornado etc.?

We are working this right now as part of the pylon sprint (even if I am back in Chicago) and we have it working.

No, definitely not the previous frame.  The scoping hasn't changed at
all by introducing nonlocal.  subfunc() can access myvar because the
variable was bound in the scope in which subfunc was created.  Python's
had closures like that for a while.

I think the best way to understand this is that the scoping doesn't
change at all when you introduce nonlocal.  It's just a way of
identifying a variable as already bound, which the grammar didn't
previously allow you to do.

nonlocal isn't actually needed for this example.  Works just fine
without it

def bob(myvar):
    def subfunc():
        return myvar * 10
    return subfunc

Try it -- it's fine in 2.X or whatever.  The scoping of variables
doesn't change with nonlocal -- you've always been able to make closures
like this.  nonlocal does allow you to make more useful closures,
though.  An example:

def make_counter(start):
    def counter():
        start = start + 1
        print(start)
    return counter

>>> c = make_counter(10)
>>> c()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in counter
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'start' referenced before assignment


So why doesn't this work?  This example a bit ambiguous grammar wise.
We can tell that the counter function is trying to update an already
bound variable start, but it's not made clear in the grammar that we're
trying to do that.  The expressions x = 1 doesn't tell you if you're
updating a previously bound variable x to 1 or creating a new variable x
which equals 1.

In javascript, you make this clear by adding 'var' when you first bind
variables and omitting it when you update previously bound variables.
In lisp, you have 'let' for binding and 'setq' or 'set!' for updating
bound variables.  In python, you've got '=' which is used for both.

The nonlocal keyword is how you say "I'm updating a previously bound
variable."

def make_counter(start):
    def counter():
        nonlocal start
        start = start + 1
        print(start)
    return counter

>>> c = make_counter(10)
>>> c()
11
>>> c()
12
>>>

I can help with question 2.
nonlocal variables are different because they have to refer to a
pre-existing binding in an enclosing scope. Here is an example from
http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/sp12/book/index.html

>>> def make_withdraw(balance):
        """Return a withdraw function that draws down balance with each call."""
        def withdraw(amount):
            nonlocal balance                 # Declare the name
"balance" nonlocal
            if amount > balance:
                return 'Insufficient funds'
            balance = balance - amount       # Re-bind the existing balance name
            return balance
        return withdraw

>>> wd = make_withdraw(20)

>>> wd(5)
15

using global here would cause a NameError

Brian-

I run a local company that does monitoring as a service, with most of 
our infrastructure build on Python.  I'd be happy to setup a free 
account to monitor and alert on chipy.org and any related sites - 
contact me off list and we can get you setup if you're interested.

Thanks sounds cool. However I am not sure I ever want to be notified if
ChiPy ever goes down unless it is before a meeting. I see the server has
been up 557 days.

Nonetheless, if there are any other chipy guys who want to do this as part
of our mentor program please contact Jason.

Chipy (April) Massimo says he can talk about this:
https://github.com/mdipierro/gluino which is his attempt to port of web2py
libraries to Bottle, Flask, Pyramid, Tornado, and Wsgiref with examples.
Sounds interesting to me, anyone else?

March 30/31 (Fri/sat) is http://www.flourishconf.com/2012

There is a room for sprinting, PSF will fund food and drinks if
someone will manage it. (not me, I will be doing video, big surprise)

So, who is up for managing it?  biggest obligation is showing up.
Next would be coming up with some sort of plan on what people should
do.  There will likely be people who want to hack on core python but
have never even checked out the source.    So have some clue how to
help people do something.  what that something is is up to you.

I might be able to be there for a few hours on saturday.  I can help people
checking out source, at least on any *nix system.  I'll be able to know for
sure by tomorrow morning and I'll post back to the list yay or nay.

Hello All,

Last year I helped run the Python sprint at Flourish and I really
don't know any Python.  Brian Curtin taught me everything I needed to
know to run the sprint.  A couple people had some very significant
contributions and I only used about $75 of the PSF's money.

So, yeah.  If I can run a Sprint, I'm sure one of you can.

Later,
eviljoel

Thanks for the encouragement joel, and if I can go I'll totally hit up
Brian for some tips.  The main concern for me is more about other
responsibilities interfering and being sick, I've been wicked sick since
pycon.

Do we have room for another short talk? If so would anyone be
interested in hearing about zope interfaces?  It's sort of unusual
(and maybe bland), but I was thinking about it today since some
interfaces helped catch a bug at work and it's right around the year
anniversary of me implementing them on this particular pile of code.
I would discuss how they were useful in transitioning off a legacy
code base and tie it in with Massimo by exploring their use in
pyramid.  And, again, it'd be something short (20-30 minutes).

+1  It's always nice to hear how these things really work in the "real world".

I was planning to show up on Saturday but can no longer make it. If
anyone's interested in hacking on the Python standard library like a
few people did last year, http://docs.python.org/devguide/ is the
place to get started.

Next month will be very solid for ChiPy. RSVP is now open http://chipy.org

It will be at Groupon.com. Very interesting venue. Details to come soon on
the website.

Also on topics and food... coming soon.

Meanwhile on topics, we have had two fantastic presentation proposals, one
from Massimo on using web2py in other web apps like flask and pyramid; the
other from Matt Bone on using one of the best features out of zope
to implement interfaces. I would like to find at least one more pretty
awesome thing... I think I mentioned I could go into some other 3.2
awesomeness if nobody else can do it.  This is going to be Rad!

Also, shot out to those who will `represent` at Flourish. I would love to
talk ChiPy the chipmunk into crashing that party in full costume.

Happy Coding!

Hello Brian,

If people are bored to hear me talk about web2py (and I can get bored of that as well) I will be happy to talk about something completely different such as an application of Python in High Energy Physics, although it would not be of practical use to the audience.

I could probably do this. My PyCon talk was about new features but it
was focused on the Windows pieces, which is boring. We have some more
general good things in the works for 3.3 that I could talk about.

Maybe give a physics talk another time and we can solicit more sci
people to come talk. At pycon I met people who do
http://software-carpentry.org/ workshops (some locals), and also the
developer of http://openscienceframework.org (not local).

I am excited to hear about these things.

Subject: [Chicago] video metadata
Message-ID: <CADmzSShaMH-rsnnF5f=2_xYPiciUK-1g2XqjyBYaT45iW4sk6w@mail.gmail.com>

To process videos I need to feed my app data.  This data should be
entered by the person giving the talk.  implemting these 2 should
cover it:

"""
brianray opened this issue 8 months ago
proposal of talks
There needs to be a form for proposal of Topics
https://github.com/brianray/Chipy/issues/18
-----
CarlFK opened this issue just now
video metadata

json feed that provides the following:

For the next meeting meeting:
Group Name: "ChIPy"
Event Name: "April 2012 Meeting"

For each talk:
Presenter(s):
Contact email(s):
Title:
Start time:
Duration:
Description:
Released: yes/no.

Here is the app that consumes the data:
https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/dj/scripts/addeps.py
-----
https://github.com/brianray/Chipy/issues/23

Is it worth paying some $ to make this happen?  It kinda goes back my
previous question: how much should we spend to make videos?  Last time
I asked, the thread went wonky.  "oh, I didn't think you really wanted
a $ amount."    So either someone does this for $0, or we figure out
how much we want to pay and see if someone bites.   If someone wants
to bid on it, go for it.

There are some open tickets and the current trunk is past what is deployed.

A) Who wants to pick up a ticket?

and

B) who wants to test/release to production?

and

C) anyone that just wants to get involved and fix our data in our past
meetings? I think it got out of sync due to a bad initial_data.json. but
anyone can help.


Thanks, for your help. source is here

programming skills are so empowering and useful that we think everyone
should have them, whether those skills lead to a career, a new hobby,
