I have installed Python 3.4.4 on XPSP3 and am trying to work my way through this tutorial. A Complete Tutorial on Ridge and Lasso Regression in Python http://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2016/01/complete-tutorial-ridge-lasso-r… In Step 2 "Why Penalize the Magnitude of Coefficients?" we are shown this code: #Importing libraries. The same will be used throughout the article. import numpy as np import pandas as pd import random import matplotlib.pyplot as plt %matplotlib inline I get an error on the last line. I am running this code in Idle Python 3.4.4 Shell... Python 3.4.4 (v3.4.4:737efcadf5a6, Dec 20 2015, 19:28:18) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> import numpy as np >>> import pandas as pd >>> import random >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> %matplotlib inline SyntaxError: invalid syntax What am I doing wrong? Suggested reading? TIA, Mike

googletrans in python
by Quentin Bock April 4, 2022

April 4, 2022

Can someone explain the basics of googletrans in python? I want to make a program that translates stories into English, but I'm not sure how to get a translation printed. Also, is this needed to be done in an HTML file inside python? If so can someone provide basic code for a translation and how that should be written and work? Thank you

Skip: being you a Python old timer, I think you are just grumbling for no good reason. :) Before anything else, people are already jumping into implementation details, optimization, syntax, etc. I am barely starting to look at whether there have been previous existing efforts, and if so, why were they discarded, etc. > > What exactly have you given me that I couldn't have done with > > x = 1 > x += 1 > I come back again to repeat it one more time: the compile() function already exists and works in Python. Before you do your posting, please think about the compile() function first. (Do I need to say it one more time? I don't mind.) So, let me try to pretend I am Skip Montanaro, and follow through with the process. (a) OK, I have been told that compile() function exists in Python. (b) I am complaining that I can do x = 1 x += 1 without resorting to codeblocks. So there is no need for codeblocks. Codeblocks are useless, good for nothing. (c) OK, one more time, I have been told that compile() function exists and works in Python. Everytime I talk about codeblocks, I need to think about the compile() function first. (d) Aha! So by analogy, there is no need for the compile() function in Python. I get it now! (e) Wait a second... searching through the Python newsgroup archive I find hundreds if not thousands of messages related to the usage of the compile() function. So the compile() function can't be useless. Either thousands of Python users are wrong, or I have not been careful in my thinking process. (f) Hmm... let me look at those messages and try to understand how people are using the compile() function. (g) Aha! The compile() function is not useless. I know how to use it, now. (h) Aha! Codeblocks are not useless. (i) Aha! So codeblocks are analogous to the compile() function, the only difference is that codeblocks are compiled at compile time. The compile function compiles the code string at runtime. (j) Wait, I think Hung Jung has said everything before in his messages. Bingo! Now you get it. Hung Jung

Converting py files to .exe and .dmg
by Brian Simms Feb. 18, 2022

Feb. 18, 2022

Hi there, I have done a lot of looking around online to find out how to convert Python files to .exe and .dmg files, but I am confused. Could someone provide pointers/advice as to how I can turn a Python file into a Windows .exe and Mac .dmg file. Thanks for any help.

Pickle file and send via socket
by S.B Feb. 18, 2022

Feb. 18, 2022

Hello friends Does anyone know if it's possible to pickle and un-pickle a file across a network socket. i.e: First host pickles a file object and writes the pickled file object to a client socket. Second host reads the pickled file object from the server socket and un-pickles it. Can anyone provide a simple code example of the client and server sides? Thanks

count consecutive elements
by Bischoop Sept. 27, 2021

Sept. 27, 2021

I want to to display a number or an alphabet which appears mostly consecutive in a given string or numbers or both Examples s= ' aabskaaabadcccc' output: c # c appears 4 consecutive times 8bbakebaoa output: b #b appears 2 consecutive times I thought about set the string then and for each element loop the string to check if equal with element set element if so count =+1 and check if next to it is not equal add counter value to list with same index as in set. However I'm fighting to code it and the counting numbers are not right: s = 'aabskaaabadcccc' c = 0 t = set(s) # set of characters in s li=[0,0,0,0,0,0] # list for counted repeats for x in t: h = t.index(x) for i in s: if i == x: m = s.index(i) c +=1 if s[m+1] != x: # if next element is not x if c > li[h]: li[h]= c c = 0 for i in t: n = t.index(i) print(i,li[n]) -- Thanks

port to PDOS (especially mainframe)
by Paul Edwards Aug. 20, 2021

Aug. 20, 2021

Hello. I have a new operating system called PDOS which works on both PC and mainframe, which can be found here: http://pdos.sourceforge.net/ I know nothing about Python, my focus is on C90, but I wish to run this mainframe assembler, asma, which was written in Python, not C: https://github.com/s390guy/SATK It needs Python 3.3 as a minimum, so I wish to port that version, first to the PC version of PDOS, then to the mainframe version. I don't wish to run configure, I want to hand-construct the makefile. PDOS is a very simple system, so I only want to produce a single executable, no DLLs etc. I don't need extensions to work or anything, all I need to be able to do is run asma. I've started constructing a makefile (see below), which I execute with pdmake, included in PDOS. I only have a C90 runtime library, no more, no less, so I don't know whether Python will actually build in my environment, but so far things have been building successfully. However I'm currently stuck on this unresolved external: python.a(abstract.o)(.text+0x668c):abstract.c: undefined reference to `PyExc_StopIteration' What source file is meant to define that variable (PyExc_StopIteration) as opposed to just declaring it or using it? I tried looking at the OS/2 EMX for hints, but wasn't able to figure it out. Note that I am building a Win32 executable to start with, but it is linking against my own C90 library which will call either Microsoft's MSVCRT.DLL on Windows, or my own MSVCRT.DLL when running on PDOS/386 (aka PD-Windows). I also don't know whether Python will survive being transferred to an EBCDIC environment, as that is where it will ultimately need to be compiled and linked (MVS/380), or at least assembled, before it can wind up on PDOS/3X0. Well, maybe it can all be done on Windows. I need to see what asma is capable of. Thanks.

Re: Compute working days

How about: from datetime import date, timedelta # Define the weekday mnemonics to match the date.weekday function (MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, SUN) = range(7) def workdays(start_date, end_date, whichdays=(MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI)): ''' Calculate the number of working days between two dates inclusive (start_date <= end_date). The actual working days can be set with the optional whichdays parameter (default is MON-FRI) ''' delta_days = (end_date - start_date).days + 1 full_weeks, extra_days = divmod(delta_days, 7) # num_workdays = how many days/week you work * total # of weeks num_workdays = (full_weeks + 1) * len(whichdays) # subtract out any working days that fall in the 'shortened week' for d in range(1, 8 - extra_days): if (end_date + timedelta(d)).weekday() in whichdays: num_workdays -= 1 return num_workdays
