how to get next month string?
by Yinghe Chen May 2, 2013

May 2, 2013

Hi, Could someone help on how to use python to output the next month string like this? "AUG07", suppose now is July 2007. I think also need to consider Dec 07 case, it is supposed to output as below: "JAN07". datetime module seems not supporting the arithmatic operations, any hints? Thanks in advance, Yinghe Chen

Weirdness with python and stdin redirection under Win32
by Jonathan M. Gilligan Jan. 18, 2013

Jan. 18, 2013

I am getting an error reading stdin only when I invoke a python script by typing "bar | foo.py" or "foo.py < bar", but not when typing "bar | python foo.py" or "python foo.py < bar". The error arises ecause when input is redirected, stdin has fileno = -1 if the script is invoked as "foo.py", but correctly has fileno = 0 if it is invoked as "python foo.py" Consider the following script, which I want to use as a prototype for a simple stdin --> stdout filter: # foo.py import sys print "fileno = ", sys.stdin.fileno() lines = sys.stdin.xreadlines() for line in lines: sys.stdout.write(line) On win32 (Win2k pro, SP3), using ActiveState ActivePython 2.2.1 build 222, I can execute foo.py either by typing "foo.py" or "python foo.py" on the command line (the relevant registry key for opening .py files has command 'C:\Python22\python.exe "%1" %*'). If I type "echo bar | foo.py", I get C:\>echo bar | foo.py The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe. fileno = -1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\foo.py", line 7, in ? lines = sys.stdin.readlines() IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor whereas if I type "echo bar | python foo.py", I get C:\>echo bar | python foo.py fileno = 0 bar Other tests yield: C:\>foo.py < foo.py fileno = -1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\My Documents\Programming\Omap VU\Fast CameraDriver\BF_LabView\Leo\foo.py", line 7, in ? for line in lines: IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor C:\>python foo.py < foo.py fileno = 0 # foo.py import sys print "fileno = ", sys.stdin.fileno() lines = sys.stdin.xreadlines() for line in lines: sys.stdout.write(line) If I just type "foo.py" or "python foo.py" on the command line, I get "fileno = 0" in both cases and the script works identically in both cases. Can anyone explain what's happening? Why the file descriptor for redirected stdin has a fileno of -1 if the python script is invoked using "foo.py" but not when it's invoked with "python foo.py"? Thanks, Jonathan

jython lacks working xml processing modules?
by janeaustine50＠hotmail.com July 17, 2012

July 17, 2012

I'm trying to parse an xml file with jython (not through java parsers like xerces). I tried minidom in jython 2.1 and 2.2a but all failed. What can I do? The last resort would be using java parsers. Then how can I use them like python xml parsers? It seems like javadom and javasax has something to do, but I don't know how. Jane

Mouse LED Control in Python
by semagraw＠gmail.com May 28, 2012

May 28, 2012

I found this link that describes the byte arrays to control the IM/Email Leds on my Logitech MX610 mouse: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2029 The link to the tarball is dead so I can't look at that. Is there anyway to do what the link says in Python? If you follow the link above, it talks about 'sending the byte array to 0x10 (16)'. I'm not sure if that is possible in python. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? I'd also be willing to have this be done in another language and just call different programs from a python program when I need something specific done (IM light on, for example). Text from the link if you can't be bothered to follow it: "I've figured out the IM led now. As before, you send 6 bytes to report ID 0x10 (16), followed by the "confirm" message. The magic values are: unsigned char confirm[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }; unsigned char email_off[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x06, 0x00, 0x00 }; unsigned char email_on[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x05, 0x00, 0x00 }; unsigned char email_pulse[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x04, 0x00, 0x00 }; unsigned char email_flash[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00 }; unsigned char email_instanton[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00 }; unsigned char email_instantoff[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00 }; unsigned char im_off[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x00, 0x06, 0x00 }; unsigned char im_on[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x00, 0x05, 0x00 }; unsigned char im_pulse[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x00, 0x04, 0x00 }; unsigned char im_flash[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x00, 0x03, 0x00 }; unsigned char im_instantoff[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00 }; unsigned char im_instanton[6] = { 0x01, 0x80, 0x52, 0x00, 0x02, 0x00 };" Thanks, Jeff
