Has anybody seen OPC -wrapper done in python ? In industry OPC -servers are breaking thru. It is a microsoft based technoloqy to gather process information. Many Control System manufacturers have their own OPC -servers. There exists a visual basic wrapper -library so that one write VB - programs to enquire data from OPC -server.Wrapper done to python would be cool.

newbie - Does IDLE care about sitecustomize.py?
by bobueland＠yahoo.com March 22, 2014

March 22, 2014

I have the following test script in the file customize.py # C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\sitecustomize.py print "test text from sitecustomize" If start Python from command prompt I get C:\Python24>python test in sitecustomize Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. which shows that sitecustomize.py works Now if I start IDLE I only get IDLE 1.1.1 >>> which shows that that IDLE doesn't care about sitecustomize.py Am I missing something or how do you customize if you are using IDLE?

Printing characters outside of the ASCII range
by danielk March 19, 2014

March 19, 2014

I'm converting an application to Python 3. The app works fine on Python 2. Simply put, this simple one-liner: print(chr(254)) errors out with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\home\python\tst.py", line 1, in <module> print(chr(254)) File "C:\Python33\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\xfe' in position 0: character maps to <undefined> I'm using this character as a delimiter in my application. What do I have to do to convert this string so that it does not error out?

PIL Image.fromarray( ... , mode="1" )
by Hans Georg Schaathun Feb. 12, 2014

Feb. 12, 2014

Does anyone know how to save two-tone images represented as numpy arrays? I handle grayscale images by converting to PIL Image objects (mode="L") and then use the PIL save method, but I cannot make this work with mode="1". I have tried both boolean arrays and uint8 arrays (mod 2). In both cases I get an image which is predominantly black, with thin white stripes (possibly for every 8 pixels). If, instead, multiply my (mod 2) image by 255, and then convert with mode="L", I get the expected random-noise-looking image. Does anyone have any ideas? What do I do wrong? What is the right/best way to save/convert two-tone images? I have not managed to find proper documentation for the Image.fromarray() method; the docstring seems to be empty )-: TIA :-- Hans Georg
