Problem loading true-type font with PIL
by Christian Stapfer Sept. 3, 2006

Sept. 3, 2006

After switching from Python 2.3 to 2.4 (Enought), PIL throws an exception that did not occur formerly (under Python 2.3) when executing ImageFont.truetype(font, size) where font = "C:/Windows/Fonts/comic.TTF". Here is the traceback that results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Gen\gen.py", line 808, in ? mylabeler = labeler.Labeler(szNavigFont, iNavigFontSize) File "E:\Homepage\Gen\labeler.py", line 11, in __init__ self._font = ImageFont.truetype(font, size) File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\PIL\ImageFont.py", line 202, in truetype return FreeTypeFont(filename, size, index, encoding) File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\PIL\ImageFont.py", line 120, in __init__ import _imagingft ImportError: No module named _imagingft A module seems to be missing: do I have to install something in addition to PIL in order to be able to load true-type fonts? Could someone (more knowledgeable than myself as regards PIL and this true-type font loading business) please point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance, Christian Stapfer

I just find it silly that a language insists on indentation. I'd long known it but just was reminded of it when I messed a little with the interpreter.

There's a huge difference between not being profligate with resources and premature optimisation. In the case of the idiom "for i in range(x):..." there absolutely no utility whatsoever in creating and recording the list of objects. Unless it makes a difference to code structure or maintainability, I think that not creating stacks of objects you don't need is basic code hygiene and not freakish premature optimisation. > in practice, if the > range is reasonably small and you're going to loop over all the integers, > it doesn't really matter. This is true, but getting into habits that don't matter most of the time, but have an performance and stability impact some of the time, is worth discouraging. > (the range form creates a list and N integers up front; the xrange form > creates an iterator object up front and N integers while you're looping. > what's faster depends on what Python version you're using, and some- > times also on the phase of the moon) Using range() is only faster on lists so small then the cost is tiny anyway. On any substantial loop it is quite a bit slower and has been since python 2.3 Nicko

Re: overriding character escapes during file input

Those escape sequences are interpreted by the compiler, and in other functions (e.g. re.compile) but *not* when reading a text file. Example: |>>> guff = r"blah \fR40\fC blah" |>>> print repr(guff) 'blah \\fR40\\fC blah' |>>> # above is ASCII so it is automatically also UTF8 Comment: It contains backslash followed by 'f' ... |... fname = "guff.utf8" |>>> f = open(fname, "w") |>>> f.write(guff) |>>> f.close() |>>> import codecs |>>> f = codecs.open(fname,'r', 'utf-8') |>>> guff2 = f.read() |>>> print guff2 == guff |True No interpretation of the r"\f" has been done. > which means that it gets interpreted as (or, from my > perspective, translated to) "\x0c".

What I suggest you do is: print repr(open('yourfile', 'r').read() [or at least one of the offending lines] and inspect it closely. You may find (1) that the file has formfeeds in it or (2) it has r"\f" in in it and you were mistaken about the interpretation or (3) something else. If you maintain (3) is the case, then make up a small example file, show a dump of it using print repr(.....) as above, plus the (short) code where you decode it and dump the result. HTH, John

overriding character escapes during file input
by David J Birnbaum Sept. 2, 2006

Sept. 2, 2006

Dear Python-list, I need to read a Unicode (utf-8) file that contains text like: > blah \fR40\fC blah I get my input and then process it with something like: > inputFile = codecs.open(sys.argv[1],'r', 'utf-8') > > for line in inputFile: When Python encounters the "\f" substring in an input line, it wants to treat it as an escape sequence representing a form-feed control character, which means that it gets interpreted as (or, from my perspective, translated to) "\x0c". Were I entering this string myself within my program code, I could use a raw string (r"\f") to avoid this translation, but I don't know how to do this when I am reading a line from a file. If all I cared about was getting my code to work, I could simply let the translation take place and then undo it within my program, but, as Humpty Dumpty said, "it's a question of which is to be master," and I would prefer to coerce Python into reading the line the way I want it to be read, rather than let it do as it pleases and then clean up afterwards. Can anyone advise? In case it matters, I'm using ActivePython 2.4 under Windows XP. Thanks, David djbpitt+python(a)pitt.edu

Just for information I just read this BBC article about the free (as in beer) SDK for XBOX 360 called XNA : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5306276.stm and saw here an example of someone using IronPython: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=682689&SiteID=1 I hope Nintendo / Sony will follow (free SDK, with the possibility to program in Python also) .
