From benjamin at python.org Fri Jan 2 17:46:52 2015 From: benjamin at python.org (Benjamin Peterson) Date: Fri, 02 Jan 2015 11:46:52 -0500 Subject: [Python-porting] [RELEASE] six 1.9.0 Message-ID: <1420217212.3637081.208863689.4C21D768@webmail.messagingengine.com> Happy new year, everyone! I've just released version 1.9.0 of the six library. Six is a Python 2 and 3 compatibility library. It provides utility functions for smoothing over the differences between the Python versions with the goal of writing Python code that is compatible on both Python versions. Download it now from PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six As always, bugs can be reported on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/gutworth/six/ Thank you to the many contributors to this release. Here is the changelog: - Issue #106: Support the `flush` parameter to `six.print_`. - Pull request #48 and issue #15: Add the `python_2_unicode_compatible` decorator. - Pull request #57 and issue #50: Add several compatibility methods for unittest assertions that were renamed between Python 2 and 3. - Issue #105 and pull request #58: Ensure `six.wraps` respects the *updated* and *assigned* arguments. - Issue #102: Add `raise_from` to abstract out Python 3's raise from syntax. - Issue #97: Optimize `six.iterbytes` on Python 2. - Issue #98: Fix `six.moves` race condition in multi-threaded code. - Pull request #51: Add `six.view(keys|values|itmes)`, which provide dictionary views on Python 2.7+.

Since my remaining vision is very limited I need very high magnification. But that makes my visual field very small. Therefore I need somebody to teach me how to use these programming environments, especially for microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing gene and pathway interaction networks. This is very difficult for me to figure out without assistance because Zoomtext, my magnification and text to speech software, on which I am depending because I am almost blind, has problems reading out aloud many programming related websites to me. And even those websites it can read, it can only read sequentially from left to right and then from top to bottom. Unfortunately, this way of acquiring, finding, selecting and processing new information and answering questions is too tiresome, exhausting, ineffective and especially way too time consuming for graduating with a PhD in bioinformatics before my funding runs out despite being severely limited by my visual disability. I would also need help with writing a good literature review and applying the described techniques to my own yeast Affimetrix microarray dataset because I cannot see well enough to find all relevant publications on my own. Some examples for specific tasks I urgently need help with are: 1. Analyzing and comparing the three publically available microarray datasets that can be accessed at: A. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE41860 B. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE38635 C. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE9217 2. Learning how to use the Affymetrics microarray analysis software for the Yeast 2 chip, which can be found at http://www.affymetrix.com/support/technical/libraryfilesmain.affx 3. For Cytoscape I need somebody, who can teach me how to execute the tutorials at the following links because due to my very limited vision field I cannot see tutorial and program interface simultaneously. A. http://opentutorials.cgl.ucsf.edu/index.php/Tutorial:Introduction_to_Cytoscape_3.1-part2#Importing_and_Exploring_Your_Data B. http://opentutorials.cgl.ucsf.edu/index.php/Tutorial:Filtering_and_Editing_in_Cytoscape_3 C. http://cytoscape.org/manual/Cytoscape2_8Manual.html#Import%20Fixed-Format%20Network%20Files D. http://wiki.cytoscape.org/Cytoscape_User_Manual/Network_Formats 4. Learning how to use the TopGo R package to perform statistical analysis on GO enrichments. Since I am legally blind the rehab agency is giving me money to pay tutors for this purpose. Could you please help me getting in touch regarding this with anybody, who could potentially be interested in teaching me one on one thus saving me time for acquiring new information and skills, which I need to finish my thesis on time, so that I can remain eligible for funding to continue in my bioinformatics PhD program despite being almost blind? The tutoring can be done remotely via TeamViewer 5 and Skype. Hence, it does not matter where my tutors are physically located. Currently I have tutors in Croatia and UK. But since they both work full time jobs while working on their PhD dissertation they only have very limited time to teach me online. Could you therefore please forward this request for help to anybody, who could potentially be interested or, who could connect me to somebody, who might be, because my graduation and career depend on it? Who else would you recommend me to contact regarding this? Where else could I post this because I am in urgent need for help? Could you please contact me directly via email at Thomas.F.Hahn2 at gmail.com and/or Skype at tfh002 because my text to speech software has problems to read out this website aloud to me? I thank you very much in advance for your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, recommendations, time, help, efforts and support.

I never work with python before, but as i runned my program, it need six 1.3 or latest, so i downloaded six-1.9.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl however I don't know how to use it or what the next step should I do after I downloada it. Thank you very much for any reply. regards siti -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
