Python 3.9.0 : Physics simulation with PyBullet .

I took a look at the documentation of this python packet to give you a brief introduction:
PyBullet is a fast and easy to use Python module for robotics simulation and machine learning, with a focus on sim-to-real transfer. With PyBullet you can load articulated bodies from URDF, SDF, MJCF and other file formats. PyBullet provides forward dynamics simulation, inverse dynamics computation, forward and inverse kinematics, collision detection and ray intersection queries. The Bullet Physics SDK includes PyBullet robotic examples such as a simulated Minitaur quadruped, humanoids running using TensorFlow inference and KUKA arms grasping objects.
...
PyBullet can be easily used with TensorFlow and OpenAI Gym.
...
The GUI connection will create a new graphical user interface (GUI) with 3D OpenGL rendering, within the same process space as PyBullet. On Linux and Windows this GUI runs in a separate thread, while on OSX it runs in the same thread due to operating system limitations.
...
For UDP networking, there is a App_PhysicsServerUDP that listens to a certain UDP port.
...
By default, there is no gravitational force enabled. setGravity lets you set the default gravity force for all objects. The loadURDF will send a command to the physics server to load a physics model from a Universal Robot Description File (URDF). The URDF file is used by the ROS project (Robot Operating System) to describe robots and other objects, it was created by the WillowGarage and the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF).
I tested with Fedora 33 and Python version 3.9.0.
The first step was installation.

[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip3 install pybullet --upgrade --user
Collecting pybullet
  Downloading pybullet-3.0.6.tar.gz (89.8 MB)
     |████████████████████████████████| 89.8 MB 51 kB/s 
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pybullet, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Installing collected packages: pybullet
    Running setup.py install for pybullet ... done
Successfully installed pybullet-3.0.6

The next step was to test with examples already built using urdf file type.

import pybullet as p
# Can alternatively pass in p.DIRECT 
client = p.connect(p.GUI)
p.setGravity(0, 0, -10, physicsClientId=client) 

import pybullet_data
p.setAdditionalSearchPath(pybullet_data.getDataPath())
planeId = p.loadURDF("plane.urdf")

my_racecar = p.loadURDF("racecar/racecar.urdf", basePosition=[0,0,0.2])

position, orientation = p.getBasePositionAndOrientation(my_racecar)

for _ in range(10000): 
    p.stepSimulation()

I run the script and all works well.
It can be seen that in the cycle for which I have the simulation for 10000 steps of time.
A smaller number will quickly interrupt the simulation.
You can create your own URDF files because they are formatted in XML format.
A good area for learning is this webpage.

Python 3.9.0 : Testing twisted python module - part 001 .

Today I tested two python modules named: twisted and twisted[tls].
Twisted is an event-driven network programming framework written in Python and licensed under the MIT License. Twisted projects variously support TCP, UDP, SSL/TLS, IP multicast, Unix domain sockets, many protocols (including HTTP, XMPP, NNTP, IMAP, SSH, IRC, FTP, and others), and much more. Twisted is based on the event-driven programming paradigm, which means that users of Twisted write short callbacks which are called by the framework., see wikipedia webpage.
In this tutorial I will show you only some of these tests and how you can work with these python modules.
About twisted you can read more at the official webpage. In Fedora distro version 33 you can use the dnf tool to search for and install these python packages.

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf search twisted
...
python3-twisted.x86_64 : Twisted is a networking engine written in Python
python3-twisted+tls.x86_64 : Metapackage for python3-twisted: tls extras

You can also use the pip tool for installation:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd PythonProjects/
[mythcat@desk PythonProjects]$ pip3 install twisted
...
[mythcat@desk PythonProjects]$ pip3 install twisted[tls]
...

I used python 3.9.0 to test if this python package works:

[mythcat@desk PythonProjects]$ python3.9
Python 3.9.0 (default, Oct  6 2020, 00:00:00) 
[GCC 10.2.1 20200826 (Red Hat 10.2.1-3)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from twisted.protocols import basic

Let's test with simple example using the reactor and protocol:

from twisted.internet import reactor, protocol

class ClientEcho(protocol.Protocol):
    def connectionMade(self):
        self.transport.write("Hello, world!".encode('utf-8'))

    def dataReceived(self, data):
        print ("Server: ", data)
        self.transport.loseConnection()

class FactoryEcho(protocol.ClientFactory):
    def buildProtocol(self, addr):
        return ClientEcho()

    def clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason):
        print ("Connection failed")
        reactor.stop()

    def clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason):
        print ("Connection lost")
        reactor.stop()

reactor.connectTCP("localhost", 8080, FactoryEcho())
reactor.run()

Your protocol handling class will usually subclass twisted.internet.protocol.Protocol.
The default factory class twisted.internet.protocol.Factory just instantiates each Protocol and lets every Protocol access, and possibly modify, the persistent configuration.
This protocol responds to the initial connection with a well known quote, and then terminates the connection.
The protocol never waits for an event because handles data in an asynchronous manner.
The reactor interface lets many different loops handle the networking code.
The source code have two classes each is used to show a simple echo client on port 8080 - you can use any port.
This source code is the most simple example to understand the relation between factory , protocol and reactor.
The result is this:

[mythcat@desk PythonProjects]$ python3.9 echo_client_001.py 
Server:  b'Hello, world!'
Connection lost

Python 3.9.0 : Union and in-place union operators

Python introduces two new operators for dictionaries named union used in code with pipe operator | and in-place union used in python code with this |=.

I this tutorial I will show you how can be used:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ python3.9 
Python 3.9.0 (default, Oct  6 2020, 00:00:00) 
[GCC 10.2.1 20200723 (Red Hat 10.2.1-1)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> step_one = {"worker_one":"task_one", "worker_two":"task_two"}
>>> step_two = {"worker_three":"task_one", "worker_fouw":"task_two"}
>>> merged_step_one_step_two = {**step_one, **step_two}
>>> empty = {}
>>> empty |= step_one
>>> empty
{'worker_one': 'task_one', 'worker_two': 'task_two'}
>>> step_one 
{'worker_one': 'task_one', 'worker_two': 'task_two'}
>>> step_two
{'worker_three': 'task_one', 'worker_fouw': 'task_two'}
>>> all = step_one | step_two 
>>> all 
{'worker_one': 'task_one', 'worker_two': 'task_two', 'worker_three': 'task_one', 'worker_fouw': 'task_two'} 
>>> copy_step_one = empty | step_one
>>> copy_step_one 
{'worker_one': 'task_one', 'worker_two': 'task_two'} 
>>> copy_step_one |= [("manager", "steps")]
>>> copy_step_one 
{'worker_one': 'task_one', 'worker_two': 'task_two', 'manager': 'steps'}

You can easily see how to use these operators with the dictionaries created and how to add lists to dictionaries. Operations with these operators always result in a dictionary. The order of these operations is important, see example:

>>> numbers = {0: "zero", 1: "one"}
>>> numbers_one = {0: "zero", 1: "one"}
>>> numbers_two = {0: "zero", 2: "two"}
>>> numbers_one | numbers_two
{0: 'zero', 1: 'one', 2: 'two'}
>>> numbers_two | numbers_one
{0: 'zero', 2: 'two', 1: 'one'}
>>> numbers_three = {0: 'zero', 11: 'error 1', 22: 'error 2', 33:'error 3'}
>>> numbers_three | numbers_one
{0: 'zero', 11: 'error 1', 22: 'error 2', 33: 'error 3', 1: 'one'}
>>> numbers_one | numbers_three
{0: 'zero', 1: 'one', 11: 'error 1', 22: 'error 2', 33: 'error 3'}

You can see how the dictionaries are overwritten by the union operation. These operations are implemented through dunder operations for most the dictionary objects except abstract classes. Dunder or magic methods in Python are the methods having two prefix and suffix underscores in the method name. You can find on this page.

Python 3.9.0 : Introduction to release 3.9.0.

This is a short introduction to release 3.9.0. 

Five days ago, a new release of version 3.9 appeared with a series of improvements and new python packages, see the official website. 

You can install easily on Fedora 32 with dnf tool.

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install  python39.x86_64
...
Installing:
 python39                x86_64                3.9.0-1.fc32

Complete!

A new article written about this release shows some of the advantages of this programming language, you can read it here. 

You can run easily with this command;

[root@desk mythcat]# python3.9
Python 3.9.0 (default, Oct  6 2020, 00:00:00) 
[GCC 10.2.1 20200723 (Red Hat 10.2.1-1)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 

You can configure python with this command, see an example:

[root@desk mythcat]# python3.9-x86_64-config --libs 
 -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm -lm 

This release of Python 3.9 uses a new parser, based on parsing expression grammar (PEG) instead of LL(1) know as LL parser (Left-to-right, Leftmost derivation). PEG parsers are more powerful than LL(1) parsers and avoid the need for special hacks. This the same abstract syntax tree (AST) as the old LL(1) parser. The PEG parser is the default, but you can run your program using the old parser, see the next example:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ python3.9 -X oldparser my_script_name.py
...

One of the most important improvements for me is PEP 614 -- Relaxing Grammar Restrictions On Decorators. In Python 3.9, these restrictions are lifted and you can now use any expression. 

For example including one accessing items in a dictionary, like this simple example:

buttons = {
  "hello": QPushButton("hello word!"),
  "bye": QPushButton("bye word!"),
  "buy": QPushButton("buy!!"),
}
...
@buttons["hello"].clicked.connect
def speak_hello():
... 

Yes, comes with another Python Enhancement Proposals - PEP 615 with support for the IANA Time Zone Database in the Standard Library. This acronym is similar to I.A.N.A known as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, but it is not the same. 

In this case, the zoneinfo module provides a concrete time zone implementation to support the IANA time zone database. 

This support contains code and data that represent the history of local time for many representative locations around the globe. Many features for math, strings, union operator for the dictionary, HTTP codes, and more. 

Completion of variable and module names is automatically enabled at interpreter startup so that the Tab key invokes the completion function. 

You can see a simple example with zoneinfo python module and completion feature.

Python Qt5 : Use QStandardItem with Images.

This tutorial show you how to use QStandardItem with Images.

The source code is simple to understand.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QTreeView
from PyQt5.QtCore import  Qt
from PyQt5.QtGui import QFont, QColor, QImage, QStandardItemModel, QStandardItem

class ItemImage(QStandardItem):
    def __init__(self, txt='', image_path='', set_bold=False, color=QColor(0, 0, 0)):
        super().__init__()

        self.setEditable(False)
        self.setForeground(color)
        self.setText(txt)

        if image_path:
            image = QImage(image_path)
            self.setData(image, Qt.DecorationRole)

class MyApp(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.resize(1200, 1200)

        treeView = QTreeView()
        treeView.setHeaderHidden(True)
        treeView.header().setStretchLastSection(True)

        treeModel = QStandardItemModel()
        rootNode = treeModel.invisibleRootItem()

        robots = ItemImage('Robots', '', set_bold=True)

        aaa = ItemImage('aaa.jpg', 'aaa.jpg', 14)
        robots.appendRow(aaa)

        bbb = ItemImage('bbb.jpg', 'bbb.jpg', 16)
        robots.appendRow(bbb)

        robots2 = ItemImage('Robots 2', '', set_bold=False)

        aaa = ItemImage('ccc.png', 'ccc.png', 14)
        robots2.appendRow(aaa)

        bbb = ItemImage('ddd.jpg', 'ddd.jpg', 16)
        robots2.appendRow(bbb)

        rootNode.appendRow(robots)
        rootNode.appendRow(robots2)
        treeView.setModel(treeModel)
        treeView.expandAll()

        self.setCentralWidget(treeView)

app = QApplication(sys.argv)        
demo = MyApp()
demo.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

The result is this:

Python 3.8.5 : A sphere in Cartesian coordinates - part 001.

I like the equation of a sphere of radius R centered at the origin is given in Cartesian coordinates:

x*x + y*y + z*z = r*r

It is one of the first elements that helped me better understand mathematics and later the dynamics and theory of electromagnetic fields.

I did not find a graphical representation using python as accurately as possible without eliminating the discretion of the range from -1 and 1 and radius * radius = 1.

The main reason is the plot_surface from matplotlib python package.

This is output of my script:

Python 3.8.5 : Linked List - part 001.

In computer science, a linked list is a linear collection of data elements whose order is not given by their physical placement in memory. see wikipedia.org.

In this tutorial I will show you how these linked list works and how can build with python programming language.
Let's start with some basic elements:

• Linked List is a linear data structure;
• Linked List are not array;
• Linked List are not stored at a contiguous location because use pointes;
• Each element use a linked pointe;
• Linked List has a dynamic size;
• Linked List use operations like insertion and deletion for each element;
• The access to elements is sequentially;
• Using reference to pointer foe each element needs extra memory space and is not cache friendly;

The Linked List consists of at least two parts: data and pointer to the next node.
The first element of the list is called the head.

The last node has a reference to null.
The each element named node of the list has a similar structure like Linked List: data node and pointer to the next node.
The data from Linked list is represent like a sequence.

A number of operations are required to use the Linked List.

The basic operations supported by a list can be:

• insertion - adds an element at the beginning of the list;
• deletion - deletes an element at the beginning of the list;
• display - displays the complete list;
• search - searches an element using the given key;
• delete - deletes an element using the given key.

The Advantages of Linked List elements can be easily inserted or removed without reallocation or reorganization of the entire structure because the data items need not be stored contiguously in memory or on disk using operations.

The Linked List structure allows several ways to link nodes resulting in a number of types of Linked List:

• Simple linked list;
• Doubly linked list;
• Multiply linked list;
• Circular linked list;
• Sentinel nodes;
• Empty lists;
• Hash linking;
• List handles;
• Combining alternatives;

Let's start with first source code for the first type of Linked List named Simple linked list.

...             self.data = data
...             # initialize next element as null

...     simple_list.head.next = second
...     #link second  node with the third
...     second.next = third
...     # now the list is linked as a simple Linked List

This source code don't include any basic operations.

If you put this source code into python script and run it you will see this:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ python simple_LinkedList.py 
<__main__.Node object at 0x7f35163e1ac0>
<__main__.Node object at 0x7f351638b0a0>
<__main__.Node object at 0x7f351638b130>

I create a basic operation for this simple Linked List to display the content of this list:

# create a simple linked list with a basic diplay operation
class Simple_LinkedList:
    # first initialize of element named head
    def __init__(self):
            self.head = None
    # use the basic operation for display
    def display_Simple_LinkedList(self): 
        points_to_node = self.head
	#will traverse the list to the last node. 
        while (points_to_node): 
            # print data linked to points_to_node
            print (points_to_node.data) 
            # print next node linked to points_to_node
            points_to_node = points_to_node.next

I run with this new python source code and result is this:

Python 3.8.5 : Testing with openpyxl - part 002 .

Today I will show you how can use Levenshtein ratio and distance between two strings, see wikipedia.
I used three files created with LibreOffice and save it like xlsx file type.
All of these files come with the column A fill with strings of characters, in this case, numbers.
The script will read all of these files from the folder named xlsx_files and will calculate Levenshtein ratio and distance between the strings of name of these files and column A.
Finally, the result is shown into a graph with matplotlib python package.
Let's see the python script:

import os
from glob import glob

from openpyxl import load_workbook
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 

def levenshtein_ratio_and_distance(s, t, ratio_calc = False):
    """ levenshtein_ratio_and_distance - distance between two strings.
        If ratio_calc = True, the function computes the
        levenshtein distance ratio of similarity between two strings
        For all i and j, distance[i,j] will contain the Levenshtein
        distance between the first i characters of s and the
        first j characters of t
    """
    # Initialize matrix of zeros
    rows = len(s)+1
    cols = len(t)+1

Python Qt5 : Get item data from QTreeWidgets.

In this example, I create a tree view with QTreeView with all folders tree.
I add a context_menu with two options.
One option is to get the data from item and is the name of the folder.
The second option is to close the application.
Let's see the source code:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QFileSystemModel, QDesktopWidget
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QTreeView, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QMenu
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
from PyQt5 import QtCore
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt, QObject

class my_app_tree(QWidget):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title = "show files and folders on tree view"
        #self.left = 0
        #self.top = 0
        #self.width = 640
        #self.height = 480
        self.center()
        self.resize(640,480)
        self.initUI()

    def center(self):
        frame_geometry = self.frameGeometry()
        center_position = QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center()
        frame_geometry.moveCenter(center_position)
        self.move(frame_geometry.topLeft())

    def context_menu(self, position):
        menu = QMenu()
        copy_action = menu.addAction("Get folder")
        quit_action = menu.addAction("Quit")
        action = menu.exec_(self.tree.mapToGlobal(position))
        # quit application
        if action == quit_action:
            my_application.quit()
        # copy folder name from item
        elif action == copy_action:
            item = self.tree.selectedIndexes()[0].data()
            print("name folder is: "+str(item))

    def initUI(self):
        self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
        #the next source code line is used with left, top, width, height from __init__
        #self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
        
        self.model = QFileSystemModel()
        self.model.setRootPath('')
        self.tree = QTreeView()
        self.tree.setModel(self.model)
        
        self.tree.setAnimated(False)
        self.tree.setIndentation(20)
        self.tree.setSortingEnabled(True)
        
        self.tree.setWindowTitle("Dir View")
        self.tree.resize(640, 480)
        
        windowLayout = QVBoxLayout()
        windowLayout.addWidget(self.tree)
        self.setLayout(windowLayout)

        self.tree.setContextMenuPolicy(Qt.CustomContextMenu)
        self.tree.customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.context_menu)
        
        self.show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    my_application = QApplication(sys.argv)
    example = my_app_tree()
    sys.exit(my_application.exec_())

The result of this source code can be see in the next image:

Python Qt5 : Add and remove items between two QTreeWidgets.

Today's tutorial will show you how to add and remove items between two QTreeWidgets.
The source code is very simple to understand: the user interface is created with two QTreeWidgets.
One is completed with elements and when the buttons are pressed, the elements are interchanged.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QDesktopWidget, QPushButton
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QBoxLayout,QTreeWidget,QTreeWidgetItem

class my_app_class(QWidget):

        self.remove_button=QPushButton('Remove item')
        self.wishlist=QTreeWidget(self)
        self.tree_list=QTreeWidget(self)
        # init the UI
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        # set title of window
        self.setWindowTitle('add and remove items from QTreeWidget!')

        self.init_tree()

        self.resize(800, 480)
        self.center()
        self.show()

    def center(self):
        geometry_frame = self.frameGeometry()
        center_pos = QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center()
        geometry_frame.moveCenter(center_pos)
        self.move(geometry_frame.topLeft())


    def init_tree(self):
        headers = ['A','B','C','D']

        self.tree_list.setColumnCount(len(headers))
        self.tree_list.setHeaderLabels(headers)

        self.wishlist.setColumnCount(len(headers))
        self.wishlist.setHeaderLabels(headers)


        list_layout = QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.LeftToRight)
        list_layout.addWidget(self.tree_list)
        list_layout.addWidget(self.wishlist)

        tree_root = QTreeWidget.invisibleRootItem(self.tree_list)
        # add data to QTreeWidget with QTreeWidgetItem
        my_data = ['1','2','3','4']
        item = QTreeWidgetItem()
        for idx, data in enumerate(my_data):
            item.setText(idx, data)

        tree_root.addChild(item)

        my_data = ['11','10','01','D']

        my_data = ['s', 'c', 'c', 'c']
        item = QTreeWidgetItem()
        for idx, data in enumerate(my_data):
            item.setText(idx, data)

        tree_root.addChild(item)

        btn_layout = QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.RightToLeft)
        btn_layout.addWidget(self.add_button)
        btn_layout.addWidget(self.remove_button)

        main_layout = QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.TopToBottom)
        main_layout.addLayout(list_layout)
        main_layout.addLayout(btn_layout)

        self.add_button.clicked.connect(self.move_item)
        self.remove_button.clicked.connect(self.move_item)

        self.setLayout(main_layout)
        return main_layout


    def move_item(self):
        sender = self.sender()

        if self.add_button == sender:
            source = self.tree_list
            target = self.wishlist
        else:
            source = self.wishlist
            target = self.tree_list

        item = QTreeWidget.invisibleRootItem(source).takeChild(source.currentIndex().row())
        QTreeWidget.invisibleRootItem(target).addChild(item)

if __name__=='__main__':
    # start the QApplication
    my_application = QApplication(sys.argv)
    # create aplication with the class
    example = my_app_class()
    # use exit for QApplication
    sys.exit(my_application.exec_())

Python 3.8.5 : Testing with openpyxl - part 001 .

The Python executes the code line by line because is an interpreter language.
This allows users to solve issues in the programming area, fast and easy.
I use python versiono 3.8.5 build on Aug 12 2020 at 00:00:00, see the result of interactive mode:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ python
Python 3.8.5 (default, Aug 12 2020, 00:00:00) 
[GCC 10.2.1 20200723 (Red Hat 10.2.1-1)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Today I will show you how to start using openpyxl python package.
Another tutorial about python and documents can be found here.
The openpyxl was created by Eric Gazoni, Charlie Clark, and is a Python library to read/write Excel 2010 xlsx/xlsm/xltx/xltm files.
Let's install the openpyxl python package:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip3 install openpyxl --user
Collecting openpyxl
...
Installing collected packages: openpyxl
Successfully installed openpyxl-3.0.5

I tested with the default example source code and works well.

from openpyxl import Workbook
wb = Workbook()

# grab the active worksheet
ws = wb.active

# Data can be assigned directly to cells
ws['A1'] = 42

# Rows can also be appended
ws.append([1, 2, 3])

# Python types will automatically be converted
import datetime
ws['A2'] = datetime.datetime.now()

# Save the file
wb.save("sample.xlsx")

The next example gets all data about asteroids close to planet Earth and put into xlsx file type.
The rows with dangerous asteroids are fill with the red color:

# check asteroids close to planet Earth and add it to file
# import json python package
import json, urllib.request, time

# import openpyxl python package

I run it and result working well:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ python asteroid_data.py 
Time is: 2020-08-23
Now, 9 asteroids is close to planet Earth.

Python 3.8.5 : Testing the pyre tool - part 001.

The Pyre is a static analysis tool to detect and prevent security issues in Python code that can be found on the official website.
The Pyre tool supports the Language Server Protocol and has an extension for VSCode.
The team development comes at August 7, 2020, with this intro:
Pyre is a performant type checker for Python. Statically typing what are essentially fully dynamic languages has a long tradition at Facebook. We've done this for PHP with Hack and for Javascript with Flow.
The install is easy to do with pip tool:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip install pyre-check
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting pyre-check
  Using cached pyre_check-0.0.52-py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64.whl (22.9 MB)
...
Installing collected packages: pyre-check
Successfully installed pyre-check-0.0.52

If you want to use a virtual environment:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ mkdir my_project && cd my_project
[mythcat@desk my_project]$ python3 -m venv ~/.venvs/venv
[mythcat@desk my_project]$ source ~/.venvs/venv/bin/activate
(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ pip install pyre-check
Collecting pyre-check
...
(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ pyre init
 ƛ Which directory should pyre be initialized in? (Default: `.`): 
(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ cat .pyre_configuration
{
  "binary": "/home/mythcat/.venvs/venv/bin/pyre.bin",
  "source_directories": [
    "."
  ],
  "taint_models_path": "/home/mythcat/.venvs/venv/lib/pyre_check/taint/",
  "typeshed": "/home/mythcat/.venvs/venv/lib/pyre_check/typeshed/"
}
(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ ls .pyre
my_project  pid_files  pyre.stderr
(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ pyre
 ƛ No watchman binary found. 
To enable pyre incremental, you can install watchman: https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install
 ƛ Defaulting to non-incremental check.
 ƛ No type errors found

Let's test with the default example from documentation:

(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ echo "i: int = 'string'" > test.py
(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ pyre
 ƛ No watchman binary found. 
To enable pyre incremental, you can install watchman: https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install
 ƛ Defaulting to non-incremental check.
 ƛ Found 1 type error!
test.py:1:0 Incompatible variable type [9]: i is declared to have type `int` but is used as type `str`.
(venv) [mythcat@desk my_project]$ cat test.py 
i: int = 'string'

You can see is working well and detect the problem.
