I realised, going home, that we hadn't set up a github repo and I'd really like to revisit some of the solutions from the other teams. (ie code which actually produced a valid result!). TJG From redbrain at gcc.gnu.org Sun Oct 7 13:42:03 2012 From: redbrain at gcc.gnu.org (Philip Herron) Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2012 12:42:03 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] Semaphore and threading Message-ID: Hey I am working on a little tool for myself recentl and had a bug that was bothering me for ages. Kinda of a basic producer consumer problem. The consumer was running in a thread: self.__semaInvoke = threading.Semaphore (1) self.__semaHandle = threading.Semaphore (0) def run (self): self.__running = True while (self.__running): print "waiting" self.__semaHandle.acquire () self.info ("Invoking %s" % self.__invoke) if self.__invoke == 'STOP': self.__running = False elif (self.__invoke in self.__steps) and \ hasattr (self, self.__invoke): self.__steps[self.__invoke] (self) self.__invoke = None else: self.info ("ERROR %s not valid command!" % \ self.__invoke) self.__running = False self.__invoke = None self.__semaInvoke.release () print "released" self.close () Then i have a method to invoke which is the producer: def invoke (self, cmd): if self.__running: self.__semaInvoke.acquire () print "setting..." self.__invoke = cmd self.__semaHandle.release () print "set + release!" So the invoke method isnt in a thread as such just called from the main thread since its embeded in a C program i call this method. But the __semaHandle.release was never being released properly and the consumer thread would hang untill i would invoke again. Then i simply added time.sleep (1) at the end of the invoke thread and everything worked perfectly. I reckon the ideal solution was to have the invoke running in a thread or something but tried to keep it all simple as i could. Just seemed to be some kind of race where the release would be called but not fully released if it just returned after that method. I bet it something to do with GIL in python where the request to release is in a que since the consumer is trying to read it or something at the same time.maybe a mutex might help but not sure. Just what i noticed anyway. I think if i had the producer in its own thread as well i think this would solve the problem. But the whole idea was to have my C program calling bla.invoke (). But this seems to not produce the results i wanted. Seems just time.sleep fixes everything just making sure things are set but its not a concrete solution wonder has anyone else seen this. --Phil From john at whiteoctober.co.uk Wed Oct 10 12:35:34 2012 From: john at whiteoctober.co.uk (John Wards) Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 11:35:34 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] All Your Base Conference Message-ID: Hello Python people.

We are looking for one or two developers to come join us full time in our Bristol office. We are a 12-year old web development company of 13 people who mainly develop intranets and public websites on top of Plone and Pyramid. Full details are here: http://www.netsight.co.uk/blog/python-plone-developer-wanted-2012/ If you don't know Plone or Pyramid, but have some experience with Python and/or other web technologies and want to learn then we are certainly up for training people up. The right attitude and ability to transfer skills and concepts is more important to us than just raw absolute skills. -Matt -- Matt Hamilton, Technical Director Netsight Internet Solutions Limited http://www.netsight.co.uk/matth Tel: 0117 90 90 90 1 Ext. 15 Registered in England No. 3892180 Registered office: 40 Berkeley Square, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 1HU From tibs at tibsnjoan.co.uk Mon Oct 22 22:08:20 2012 From: tibs at tibsnjoan.co.uk (Tony Ibbs) Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:08:20 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] Next CamPUG meeting: Tuesday 6th November 2012 Message-ID: <5272E796-4B40-4325-AF17-D274192A23AF@tibsnjoan.co.uk> From the Cambridge and East Anglian Python Users Group google group: The next meeting will be Tuesday 6th November, 7.30pm at RealVNC (http://tinyurl.com/realvncoffices). We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub. This will be a talks meeting. Jukka Lehtosalo has agreed to come and talk about mypy (http://www.mypy-lang.org/), "an experimental Python variant that aims to combine the benefits of dynamic (or "duck") typing and static typing". I heard him talk about it briefly at PyConUK, and I think this should be interesting. I also hope we'll have another speaker, on Python, unit-testing, and using Python to unit test C++ programs. I'll confirm that when I know for sure. If anyone else wants to give a talk (anything from five minutes and up is welcome), either volunteer on the group, or just turn up with something to say. Meetings after that should be: ? Tuesday 4th December, a coding/doing stuff meeting ? Tuesday 8th January (note, NOT the first Tuesday), another talks meeting ? Tuesday 5th February, a coding/doing stuff meeting.

Get your tickets here (and move fast, they're generally snapped up sharpish): https://ldnpydojo.eventwax.com/london-python-code-dojo-season-4-episode-3 This month there's a very slight difference, as the challenge will be preset, rather than voted on.
