Python 3.8.5 : PyEphem astronomy library for Python - part 001.

About this python package, you can find it from the official website.
PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision astronomy computations. The underlying numeric routines are coded in C and are the same ones that drive the popular XEphem astronomy application, whose author, Elwood Charles Downey, generously gave permission for their use in PyEphem. The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is the traditional term for a table giving the position of a planet, asteroid, or comet for a series of dates.
Because I like astronomy and lately a lot has happened in this field, I thought I would come up with some simple tutorials for those who are interested.
This tutorial is tested on a Linux distribution called Fedora 32 with Python version 3.8.5.
I installed this python packet with the pip3 tool.
[mythcat@desk ~]$ sudo pip3 install ephem --user
WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea. 
Try `pip3 install --user` instead.

You know that NASA has launched the Mars Perseverance rover, so let's play with this topic a bit.
Let's see current azimuth and elevation for planet Mars.
For this is need the position of the observer and then is compute the position of the planet Mars.
I used the position of the Greenwich for the observer, but you can create your oun observer and use it.
[mythcat@desk ~]$ python3

>>> import ephem
>>> import math
>>> convert = math.pi / 180.
>>> mars = ephem.Mars()
>>> greenwich = ephem.Observer()
>>> greenwich.lat = "51.477928"
>>> greenwich.lon = "-0.001545"
>>> mars.compute(greenwich)
>>> az_deg, alt_deg = mars.az*convert, mars.alt*convert
>>> print(f"Mars' current azimuth and elevation: {az_deg:.2f} {alt_deg:.2f}")
Mars' current azimuth and elevation: 0.11 -0.01
Let's see another example with Mars to take ascension and declination for the epoch specified:
...
>>> import datetime
>>> now = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> print(now)
2020-07-31 19:11:42.312027
>>> mars.compute(now)
>>> print(mars.ra)
1:12:43.64
>>> print(mars.dec)
3:33:22.6
You can get the magnitude, size (diameter in arcseconds) and size (radius as an angle):
>>> print(mars.mag)
-1.11
>>> print(mars.size)
14.555475234985352
>>> print(mars.radius)
0:00:07.3
You can easily see which constellation Mars is on.
>>> ephem.constellation(mars)
('Psc', 'Pisces')

Python 3.6.9 : My colab tutorials - parts 006 - 007.

This tutorial is called: My colab tutorials - parts 006 - 007.
The only reason for synchronization with the source code from my GitHub account on the Colab project.
I like collab more and more because I can quickly test the source code.
The example is taken from here and adapted to work on Colab and the new version of numba
Here is a simple example with the python numba package to creat that Mandelbrot fractal set.
import numba
from numba import jit

@jit
def mandel(x, y, max_iters):
  """
    Given the real and imaginary parts of a complex number,
    determine if it is a candidate for membership in the Mandelbrot
    set given a fixed number of iterations.
  """
  c = complex(x, y)
  z = 0.0j
  for i in range(max_iters):
    z = z*z + c
    if (z.real*z.real + z.imag*z.imag) >= 4:
      return i

  return max_iters

@jit
def create_fractal(min_x, max_x, min_y, max_y, image, iters):
  height = image.shape[0]
  width = image.shape[1]

  pixel_size_x = (max_x - min_x) / width
  pixel_size_y = (max_y - min_y) / height
    
  for x in range(width):
    real = min_x + x * pixel_size_x
    for y in range(height):
      imag = min_y + y * pixel_size_y
      color = mandel(real, imag, iters)
      image[y, x] = color

image = np.zeros((1024, 1536), dtype = np.uint8)
start = timer()
create_fractal(-2.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0, image, 20) 
dt = timer() - start

print ("Mandelbrot created in %f s" % dt)
imshow(image)
show()

Python 3.8.2 : The numba python package - part 001 .

The development of this python package comes with this short intro:
Numba is a just-in-time compiler for Python that works best on code that uses NumPy arrays and functions and loops. The most common way to use Numba is through its collection of decorators that can be applied to your functions to instruct Numba to compile them. When a call is made to a Numba decorated function it is compiled to machine code “just-in-time” for execution and all or part of your code can subsequently run at native machine code speed!

Python 3.8.3 : Lists in Python 3 - part 001.

I am currently working on a project that involves the use of complex data structures and lists and my time is limited.
This led me to start a new series of python tutorials on python lists.
I realized that the lists had no substantial changes in the evolution of the python programming language, see the official documentation.
You will find on the internet a lot of questions related to lists, algorithms, and problems involving lists.
If you are not a beginner then it will seem boring at first but over time I will try to draw attention to really significant elements in python programming with lists.
Let's start taking significant steps in using lists.
Before using the methods of list objects, let's create some lists:

# create a empty list 
my_list_001 = []
# fill the list with 4 consecutive numbers from 0 to 3 
my_list_001 = list(range(0,4))
# show the list 
my_list_001
[0, 1, 2, 3]
# set the variable n with value 4
n = 4
# create a list with 4 zeroes 
list_of_zeros = [0] * n
# show the list
listofzeros
[0, 0, 0, 0]
# import string python package 
import string
# create a string with all ascii letters
my_letters = string.ascii_letters
# use list to create a list with all letters
list(my_letters)
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't',
 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O',
 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']
# create a nested list is a list can also have another list as an item
my_list = ["catafest", [1,9,7,6], ["!"]]
# show the list
my_list
['catafest', [1, 9, 7, 6], ['!']]
# access elements from a list with index operator pozitive and negative [] 
my_list[0]
'catafest'
my_list[-1]
['!']
my_list[-2]
[1, 9, 7, 6]
my_list[-3]
'catafest'
# test conditions boolean
my_list[-3] == my_list[0]
True
my_list[-3] != my_list[0]
False
my_list_001[1] > listofzeros[1]
True
# sum an list element with another
sum_of_list_elemenet = my_list_001[1] + listofzeros[1]
# show result
sum_of_list_elemenet
1
# iterating through a list
for list_element in my_list:
...     print(list_element)
...
catafest
[1, 9, 7, 6]
['!']
# iterating each list  
for list_element in my_list:
...     for e in list_element:
...             print(e)
...

# create a list with all letters using chr and ord built-in functions

 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']
# create a binary list from a integer
output = [int(x) for x in '{:08b}'.format(1976)]
# show the result of the list
output
[1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0]
# show the result just for on element of the list
output[3]
1
# convert a binary list to integer named result and set first with value 0
# using the bitwise left shift operator
result = 0
for digits in output:
    result = (result << 1) | digits
# show result of conversion from binary to integer
result
1976
# create a hexadecimal list from a list
hex_list = [hex(x) for x in my_list_001]
# show the hexadecimal list using the hex built-in function
hex_list
['0x0', '0x1', '0x2', '0x3']
# convert hexadecimal list to int list using the int 
int_list = [int(x,0) for x in hex_list]
# show the result
int_list
[0, 1, 2, 3]
# convert hexadecimal list to float list using the float.fromhex
float_list = [float.fromhex(x) for x in hex_list]
# show the result
float_list
[0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
# create list using math python module

This is not all about create and convert list, but it is quite close to the reality of the lists.
This tutorial remains open due to the complex issue and maybe I will complete it in the future.

Python 3.8.3 : PyCryptodome python package - part 001.

In the last tutorial, I wrote on Sunday, June 16, 2019, you can see a simple example of this python package with KDF with PBKDF2 function.
I guess it should be interesting for visitors to this blog to read more about this package because it is very useful and interesting.
Today I come up with another tutorial covering how to use A.E.S. standard encryption and decrypting text in a binary file.
The A.E.S. is a standard?
The Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) announcing the A.E.S. on November 26, 2001, on the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 197.
A.E.S. known as Advanced Encryption Standard is a symmetric block cipher standardized by NIST.
The N.I.S.T is an abbreviation National Institute of Standards and Technology.
This python package named PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives, see the readthedocs.io webpage.
First, you need to see if this python package is not on conflict with another one named PyCrypto.
Then use pip3 tool to install.
pip3 uninstall PyCrypto
WARNING: Skipping PyCrypto as it is not installed.
...
pip3 install pycryptodome
Collecting pycryptodome
...
Installing collected packages: pycryptodome
Successfully installed pycryptodome-3.9.8
Here is the source code commented for a better understanding of the encryption and decryption steps.
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Random import get_random_bytes

# the data input needs to be encoded, else you will receive this error
# python TypeError: Object type  cannot be passed to C code

data = "Hello World! by catafest!".encode("utf8")
# first step - prepare for encrypt
key = get_random_bytes(16)
print("print key is: ", key)
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_EAX)
print("print cipher is: ", cipher)
ciphertext, tag = cipher.encrypt_and_digest(data)
print("print ciphertext is: ", ciphertext)

# open the binary file 
file_out = open("AES_encrypted.bin", "wb")
# write to binary file 
[ file_out.write(x) for x in (cipher.nonce, tag, ciphertext) ]

# the file is close 
file_out.close()

# next step - prepare for decrypt
new_cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_EAX, cipher.nonce)

# open again the binary file 
file_in = open("AES_encrypted.bin", "rb")
# read all data from file
nonce, tag, ciphertext = [file_in.read(x) for x in (16, 16, -1) ]
# the file is close 
file_out.close()

# show data from file
print("print nonce is: ", nonce)
print("print tag is: ", tag)
print("print ciphertext is: ", ciphertext)

# create a new cipher
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_EAX, nonce)

# use this to decrypt
data = cipher.decrypt_and_verify(ciphertext, tag)
# show the result 
print(data)
The result of running the python script is this:
python.exe .\pycryptodome_AES_001.py
print key is:  b'\xbdEX\xf8\x1d!\xc5\xceI\x87\x81\xf1\xd5\xba\x8c\r'
print cipher is:  <Crypto.Cipher._mode_eax.EaxMode object at 0x000001D5F32DE100>
print cipher is:  <Crypto.Cipher._mode_eax.EaxMode object at 0x000001E062AFE100>
print ciphertext is:  b'ON\x1d\xb9\xb7\xa8\xf5\xd6\x0c\x91\xc5`B\xf4\x95u\xe1D\xb5\x88&I\x15\xc5\xc5'
print nonce is:  b'3\xa6R8\xbb\n \x9cimp$\xe4\xee\xf5-'
print tag is:  b'\xb8)\xe4\xe7\x08uE~\x84s]\xedX\xf5\xf9\xea'
print ciphertext is:  b'ON\x1d\xb9\xb7\xa8\xf5\xd6\x0c\x91\xc5`B\xf4\x95u\xe1D\xb5\x88&I\x15\xc5\xc5'
b'Hello World! by catafest!'

Python 3.8.3 : Using twitter application with python-twitter - part 002.

This is the second part of tutorials series with python-twitter.
Today I will show you how to get pieces of information about friends, users and save into a binary file with pickle known as cPickle.
I will use my old source code from the last tutorial.
import os
import twitter
# for save to file import by python version
try:
   import cPickle as pickle
except:
   import pickle

consumer_key=' '
consumer_secret=' '
token_key=' '
token_secret=' '

if __name__ == "__main__":
    api = twitter.Api(consumer_key=consumer_key,
                  consumer_secret=consumer_secret,
                  access_token_key=token_key,
                  access_token_secret=token_secret) 
    
    screen_name = 'catafest'
       
    # print all users of this account authentificated 
    # you can use GetFriends(screen_name=screen_name) 
    users = api.GetFriends()
    
    print([u.screen_name for u in users])
    # get followers 
    followers = api.GetFollowers(screen_name=screen_name)
    # print followers 
    print([f.screen_name for f in followers])
    
    # ... and save into a binary file 
    followers_file = "followers_file.bin"
    
    if not os.path.exists(followers_file):
        pickle.dump(followers, open(followers_file, "wb"), protocol=pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)
        
    # load binary file     
    if os.path.exists(followers_file):
        followers_read = pickle.load(open(followers_file, "rb"))
        print(followers_read)
The result is similar with this:

Python 3.8.3 : Using twitter application with python-twitter - part 001.

You need to create a application for your twitter user developer on this webpage.
The next step is to get all keys and tokens from your application.
I used the python-twitter see the official webpage documentation.
Let's install this python module using the pip tool
pip install python-twitter
Collecting python-twitter

    dat = [datetime.strptime(d, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S +0000 %Y") for d in dates]

    levels = np.tile([-8, 8, -4, 4, -1, 1],int(np.ceil(len(dat)/3)))[:len(dat)]
    print(levels)
    fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(7.6, 5), constrained_layout=True)
    ax.set(title="Twitter dates")
    markerline, stemline, baseline = ax.stem(dat, levels,linefmt="C3-", basefmt="k-",use_line_collection=True)
    markerline.set_ydata(np.zeros(len(dat)))

Static files are those files that can not be processed, generated or modified by the server.
Static files improve the performance of the website with the template inheritance method.
Static file management is an important factor in web development.
I will show you how static file works on Django project.
The new static files folder is set on settings.py file:
...
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '/home/mythcat/projects/django/mysite/test001/')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
   os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
 ]
...
Let's run the server:
(env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ python3 manage.py runserver

Now I can try to run the command collectstatic.
When this command is executed, Django performs these operations:
  • it looks for static files in all the directories listed in STATICFILES_DIRS;
  • the static-files are then copied and saved in STATIC_ROOT directory;
  • when the server is requested for static content, it will fetch a file from STATIC_ROOT;
  • that file will have its URL modified with STATIC_URL.
These errors show us many informations about this process:
 (env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ python3 manage.py collectstatic

You have requested to collect static files at the destination
location as specified in your settings:

    /home/mythcat/projects/django/mysite

This will overwrite existing files!
Are you sure you want to do this?

Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes
Found another file with the destination path 'admin/js/urlify.js'. It will be ignored since only the first 
encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make sure every static file has a unique path.
...
Found another file with the destination path 'django.png'. It will be ignored since only the first 
encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make sure every static file has a unique path.
Found another file with the destination path 'favicon.ico'. It will be ignored since only the first 
encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make sure every static file has a unique path.
Found another file with the destination path 'admin/js/urlify.js'. It will be ignored since only the first 
encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make sure every static file has a unique path.
...

Found another file with the destination path 'rest_framework/js/prettify-min.js'. 
It will be ignored since only the first encountered file is collected. If this is not what you want, make
 sure every static file has a unique path.
...
166 static files copied to '/home/mythcat/projects/django/mysite'. 
But, Django respects the order of your applications in settings.py file the INSTALLED_APPS area, when running collectstatic command.
If you have two installed apps that write the same static files then Django collectstatic command will write the static files for the app appearing first in the list.
In my case: django.contrib.admin , test001 and ... .
Also, is need to set this code source on urls.py to return the proper URL pattern for serving static files to your already defined pattern list.
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
...
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
Let's run the runserver:
 (env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ python3 manage.py runserver
...
[26/Jan/2020 09:29:18] "GET /static/admin/css/fonts.css HTTP/1.1" 200 423
Not Found: /favicon.ico 
You can see the /favicon.ico is not found in the default path and need to move it at /home/mythcat/projects/django/mysite/test001.
After these changes let's fix all the problems I created with these learning steps on static issues.
Let's move the static folder into mysite folder.
Change the settings.py file for the static issue with this source of code:
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
