Outputting to specific sound channels?
by Davin Boling Oct. 2, 2004

Oct. 2, 2004

I'm a rather new programmer - been messing around with Python for about half a year or so. I play a few online games and run a Teamspeak server. Recently I've found myself wanting to make a "sound board" program that lets me play prerecorded sounds over the microphone channel. :D What is the best way to go about doing this? I don't believe there's anything in the standard library that handles this, so I'd *probably* want to use SDL or something similar. Does anyone know of a solution that not only allows you to play sounds from Python, but also output those sounds to a channel other than Wave? (such as Microphone) Thanks in advance, I'll toss any worthwhile creations that result from the knowledge your way. ;D

locale.setlocale problems
by Ksenia Marasanova Oct. 2, 2004

Oct. 2, 2004

Hi, I have some problems with locale module. On my workstation, changing locale doesn't have effect: Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'nl_NL') 'nl_NL' >>> locale.format('%0.2f', 0.123) '0.12' (It should return: 0,12) On the server, it doesn't work at all: Python 2.3 (#1, Jan 4 2004, 14:30:19) [GCC 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'nl_NL') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/locale.py", line 381, in setlocale return _setlocale(category, locale) locale.Error: locale setting not supported All I want to do, is format numbers with comma as decimal separator in a web application. Is there some system libraries I have to install, to make locale work? And the last question: when I change locale in a Python application, it affects only the current namespace, right? I hope so... :) Thanks! Ksenia.

Close a socket externally
by drs Oct. 2, 2004

Oct. 2, 2004

Hi, I have a program which opens a socket server in a thread. I need for the server to listen on the socket for a certain amount of time (say, ten seconds or so) and then close it, and am wondering if there is a good way to close the socket other than sending it a message from another thread to close itself. That is, I am looking for a way to forcably kill a socket from a second thread, not to send it a message to kill itself. Thanks, -drs

Re: A newbie in more need....

The question being asked is why I would want a bunch of identical classes with different names. The classes will changed by certain circumstances created by the program. You should also no that not only am I new to Python, I am fairly new to programming as well. Thank you for your suggestions, they were definitely helpful.

A newbie in more need....
by chrispatton＠gmail.com Oct. 2, 2004

Oct. 2, 2004

I am writing a program that writes a number of classes, which are all fundementally the same thing. The only thing that is different is the names. Therefore, I need to write a bunch of classes in the quickest time I can. Here's what I was thinking of: num = 1 while num < 20: exec 'class bug'+num+':' exec ' gender = "m"' exec ' size = 0' exec ' skill = 0' Obviously, the "exec" statement severley slows the time it takes to write these classes. I need a new method! If possible I would like to avoid the use of the "exec" statement alltogether. -- Thanks for any help!!

Yes -- saying "it doesn't work" tells us nothing about what you've done and what symptoms you're seeing. Without more information we have to guess and make assumptions, which can waste time by leading us down the wrong path. Here's a good article on how to ask questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html "It is the questions asked, not the answers given, that distinguish the wise person from the fool." -Elie Wiesel > As I said, Apache is not one of my areas of expertise (yet!).

What configuration directives did you use and where did you put them?

Tell us what you're altering from the working configuration. Have you brought this issue up with the hosting company? If they're not able to help then perhaps you should find another provider, one with more technical expertise. > Here's the error I get in the browser: > > """ > Object not found! Do you have access to the web server's error logs? That's where you're more likely to see meaningful diagnostics. > The file in question *is* available, and readable by Apache (I've proven > this by simply renaming it with .html on the end - as expected, the > browser just shows the python source). That's one problem we can rule out (the kind of problem that we'd have had to ask about if you hadn't told us). What name does the file usually have, the name that results in "Object not found"? What, if anything, appears in the web server's error logs when you request that object? Can you run the python script successfully from the command line on the web server? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/

The third example what is yet in use in my script - I asked for it some month ago here ;-) It is a great help! But now I need more than just the names of the computers, I need their properties like OS, Service Pack, Version and stuff like this. What I managed yet is to get the properties of an object if I know the LDAP path of this object. But in our AD-structure the computer-accounts are not all in the same OU and the OUs could have another name from one day to the next day... So I need to get all computers wherever they are with some of their properties. I'll try your hints after the next week when I'm back at work - next week I have a SQL-course :-) Dirk

How can I freeze a script using Tix with py2exe? I try with this: #provatix.py import Tix w=Tix.Tk() Tix.Label(w,text='hallo').grid() w.mainloop() #setup.py from distutils.core import setup import py2exe import glob setup(console=["provatix.py"]) so I have provatix.exe but when I run it I have an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "provatix.py", line 2, in ? File "Tix.pyc", line 210, in __init__ _tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tix Where is the error? Thanks

inconsistent value from __builtins__

Hi, using the file builtin_check.py with content # Module builtin_check # Inconstency in the binding of __builtins__ def get_binding(name): return locals()[name] def get_global_binding(name): return globals()[name] and running import builtin_check print type(builtin_check.get_global_binding('__builtins__')) print type(__builtins__) in the toplevel, I get the following results: Python 2.2.3 (#2, Jun 16 2004, 21:14:24) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import builtin_check >>> print type(builtin_check.get_global_binding('__builtins__')) <type 'dict'> >>> print type(__builtins__) <type 'module'> Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 10 2004, 11:29:59) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import builtin_check >>> print type(builtin_check.get_global_binding('__builtins__')) <type 'dict'> >>> print type(__builtins__) <type 'module'> Is this difference in return value intentional?
