It's not pretty, but you could hack up the original copytree()
source so it ignores errors from the makedirs() call. Then it
should work more-or-less like 'cp -r'. This isn't ideal, because
'OSError' is thrown, which could mean that the dir already exists
(okay), or it could be a 'real' error, like the current user doesn't
have permission to write to the destination. (See 'XXX' in the code
below.)

Better would be to match on the error string and only ignore the
'directory exists' error. Unfortunately, the error messages do
vary per-platform. Here's what I see under Windows when the
directory already exists:

WindowsError: [Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file
already exists: 'test2'

and under CentOS:

OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: 'test2'

The code below seems to work under both Linux and Windows; but I
didn't really test it much, so handle with care. :-}

----------

def copytree(src, dst, symlinks=False, ignore=None):
import os
from shutil import copy2, copystat, Error

names = os.listdir(src)
if ignore is not None:
ignored_names = ignore(src, names)
else:
ignored_names = set()

try:
os.makedirs(dst)
except OSError, exc:
# XXX - this is pretty ugly
if "file already exists" in exc[1]: # Windows
pass
elif "File exists" in exc[1]: # Linux
pass
else:
raise

errors = []
for name in names:
if name in ignored_names:
continue
srcname = os.path.join(src, name)
dstname = os.path.join(dst, name)
try:
if symlinks and os.path.islink(srcname):
linkto = os.readlink(srcname)
os.symlink(linkto, dstname)
elif os.path.isdir(srcname):
copytree(srcname, dstname, symlinks, ignore)
else:
copy2(srcname, dstname)
# XXX What about devices, sockets etc.?
except (IOError, os.error), why:
errors.append((srcname, dstname, str(why)))
# catch the Error from the recursive copytree so that we can
# continue with other files

errors.extend(err.args[0])
try:
copystat(src, dst)
except WindowsError:
# can't copy file access times on Windows

Looks like the example on the main page would work better with the "any"
builtin than with the "sum" builtin.

Stefan,

I'm not sure what you mean. The example formula in the main page of
http://www.yoopf.org calculates the total amount of an order as the
sum of the amount of each order line: why the 'any' ?

By the way, Mike is right. The URL should be http://www.yoopf.org
(not http://www.google.com/www.yoopf.org) Sorry for that.

It's fine if your package supports being compiled with Mingw32. A lot of
source code can't be compiled this way, either because gcc doesn't
support some of the MS extensions (in particular wrt. COM), or because
Mingw32 doesn't provide the header files (in particular wrt. C++), or
because linking with a library is necessary that uses the MSVC mangling,
not the g++ one (again, for C++).

Code written in Cython should work fine with gcc indeed.

Just try building Mark Hammond's Win32 extensions or PythonWin with
Mingw32 to see for yourself.

Most definitely. They have switched *again* the way they distribute the
CRT, so major changes to packaging and distutils would be required.

It took us about two years to accommodate the CRT change. This time, it
will be easier, but nowhere near 2 months. I'm skeptical that the switch
to VS 2010 will be ready for 3.2.

It is the intended behavior in 2.x. The theory was that a list
comprehension would have the same effect as if it had been unrolled
into a regular for-loop.

In 3.x, Guido changed his mind and the induction variable is hidden.
The theory is that some folks (like you) expect the variable to be
private and that is what we already do with generator expressions.

There's no RightAnswer(tm), just our best guess as to what is the most
useful behavior for the most number of people.

What programming languages were they used to (if any)?

I don't know of any language that creates a new scope for loop variables,
but perhaps that's just my ignorance...

Well, technically it's the idiomatic placement of the loop variable
declaration rather than the loop construct itself, but:

//Written in Java
//Can trivially be changed to C99 or C++
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
// code
}
// variable 'i' no longer accessible

//Using a for-each loop specific to Java
for (ItemType item : array)
{
// code
}
// variable 'item' no longer accessible

Cheers,
Chris

The programming language Ada comes to mind (the variable exists only
within the body of the loop and is read-only like a constant), so yes,
that's just your ignorance. ;-)

MRAB has mentioned Ada, let me mention C++ ...

<code language="C++">
#include <assert.h>

int main()
{
int const i = 42;

for( int i = 0; i < 10; ++i )
{
// blah blah
}
assert( i == 42 );
}
</code>

Java and C# take a slightly different approach where code analogous to the above
won't compile. But it's still a nested scope. E.g. ...

<code language="Java">

class App
{
static public void main( String[] args )
{
for( int i = 0; i < 10; ++i )
{
// blah blah
}

// Uncomment statement below to get compilation error:
//System.out.println( i );
}
}
</code>

So, yes, considering Ada, C++, Java and C# -- and so on. ;-)

Cheers & hth.,

I'm packaging up a program with distutils and I've run into problems
trying to get setup.py right. It's not a standalone package; it's a
script plus modules, data files and documentation. I've been over the
distutils documentation but I'm having trouble getting the package_data
and data_files correct.

Is there a repository of distutils examples somewhere that I can look at?
The documentation is not particularly instructive for me.

Hi Tom,
I don't know of a dedicated repository of distutils examples, but
there's so many packages out there that it's sure that someone's
already done what you're trying to do. If you can find that package
(easier said than done, I know) then you have a working example.

THat's the main way I've been learning how to write setup.py files. I
also find the distutils documentation somewhat opaque.

This shows right here that lista is extended in place. If you are not
convinced, print(id(lista)) before and after.

It is conventional in Python (at least the stdlib) that methods that
mutate mutable objects 'in-place' return None to clearly differentiate
them from methods that return new objects. There are pluses and minuses
but such it is.

Thanks for the explanations, everyone...

I was just a bit confused about how .extend was working... I
originally thought that it returned a new object and linked lista to
that, but I realize that it directly manipulates the list object
instead...

I'm not sure why I got that idea stuck in my head, but it was there,
so I asked :)

Hello,

I want to call a system command (such as uname) that returns a string,
and then store that output in a string variable in my python program.

What is the recommended/most-concise way of doing this?

I could always create a temporary file, call the "subprocess.Popen"
module with the temporary file as the stdout argument, and then
re-open that temporary file and read in its contents. This seems
to be awfully long way of doing this, and I was wondering about
alternate ways of accomplishing this task.

In pseudocode, I would like to be able to do something like:
hostinfo = subprocess.Popen("uname -srvi") and have hostinfo
be a string containing the result of issuing the uname command.

Thanks for any tips,

Catherine

import os
txt = os.popen("uname -srvi")
hostinfo = txt.readline()

Or if the command outputs a number of lines (such as 'ls'),
use txt.readlines() to put the result into a list of strings.

"technology as a regulatory tool", what a concept! Pretty impressive
change we can believe in. Here's hoping open-source human-readable
computer programs become the standard for verifiable elections and all
sorts of financial uses. Otherwise, computers will end up being used
to defraud the populace rather than to serve it.

IANAL, and you should really ask your own lawyer.

However, the relevant clause seems to be clause 2, which requires you to
retain a copy of the license "in Python alone or in any derivative
version prepared by Licensee".

IIUC, your product will be a derivative version (ask your lawyer whether
that's a correct assessment). Then, the only requirement is to have a
copy of the license in the derivative work, i.e. in the software
installation. No need to include it in the manual, the online
documentation, or the splash screen. Putting it into the product's
license text file might be appropriate, as might be putting it next to it.

Regards,
Martin

What about calling wget itself? subprocess.call(['wget',...])
