Blender 3D and python scripting - part 001.

Today I started a series of tutorials on python scripting and Blender 3D.
The first tutorial is how to draw using the Blender 3D features with the grease pencil utility using the Python scripting language.
Open Blender 3D in the scripting section and enter the source code below.
import bpy 
import random
rand1 = random.randint(-3, 3)
rand2 = random.randint(-3, 3)
rand_size = random.randint(70, 76)

gpencil_data = bpy.data.grease_pencils.new("GPencil")
gpencil = bpy.data.objects.new(gpencil_data.name, gpencil_data)
bpy.context.collection.objects.link(gpencil)

gp_layer = gpencil_data.layers.new("lines")

gp_frame = gp_layer.frames.new(bpy.context.scene.frame_current)

gp_stroke = gp_frame.strokes.new()
gp_stroke.line_width = rand_size

gp_stroke.points.add(count=4)

gp_stroke.points[0].co = (rand1,rand2,rand1)
gp_stroke.points[1].co = (rand2,rand1,rand2)
Run the script several times to see the effect produced.
Here is the result of running this script:

Python : Use django-allauth on heruko - part 001.

Today I am going to show you how to implement a google authentication using Django on the Heroku server.
The tutorial is almost complete. This introductory part is not finalized on the display side of the style and some elements ...
This python module is needed to run the web service.
pip install gunicorn

One way is to use this command to start the project
(venv) django-admin startproject herokuweb
I used it in this way, see the dot symbol:
(venv) django-admin startproject herokuweb . 
The next command will start an application
(venv) python manage.py startapp catafest
This python module needs to use google authentification:

Password (again):
This password is too short. It must contain at least 8 characters.
This password is too common.
Bypass password validation and create user anyway? [y/N]: y
Superuser created successfully.
Create templates, catafest folders
Add the index.html file on the catafest folder
Make changes in url.py in the heroku web folder project:
from django.contrib import admin
    from django.urls import path, include
    from django.views.generic import TemplateView
    
    urlpatterns = [
        path('', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="catafest/index.html")),
        path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
        path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
    ]
In the settings.py add templates feature make this change:
import os
...
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
Open a google console application and set Credentials to OAuth client ID for the web.
Follow the basic steps like for any basic project
I set for my project: Authorized JavaScript origins: https://catafest.herokuapp.com
... and: Authorized redirect URIs: https://catafest.herokuapp.com/accounts/google/login/callback
Finally, you need to have these: The 'OAuth client created' with 'Your Client ID' and 'Your Client Secret' .
You can test your Django project with this command:
python manage.py runserver
Open the admin area http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/socialaccount/socialapp/ and add a social application
These commands will log in to the Heroku browser webpage and will create the application:
heroku login
 »   Warning: heroku update available from 7.53.0 to 7.60.2.
...
heroku create catafest
 »   Warning: heroku update available from 7.53.0 to 7.60.2.
Creating ⬢ catafest... done
https://catafest.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/catafest.git
Then create requirements.txt and fill it with this command:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
make this change in settings.py :

...
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['.herokuapp.com','127.0.0.1']
...
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"staticfiles")
...
Upload changes with these commands:
git add .
git commit -am "add requirements.txt and changes STATIC_ROOT"
git push heroku master
Enumerating objects: 39, done.
Counting objects: 100% (39/39), done.
...
To https://git.heroku.com/catafest.git
 * [new branch]      master -> master
Open the online Heroku application, and see all errors with the command: heroku logs --tail
This error is normal because is not set in one web service:
... at=error code=H14 desc="No web processes running" method=GET path="/" host
Create Procfile file in the web001 folder and fill it with:
Add this to the file:
web: gunicorn catafest.wsgi
Add changes and make changes all with these commands:
git add .
git commit -am "add Procfile"
Push to the Django application on the Heroku server:
git push heroku master
Enumerating objects: 6, done.
Counting objects: 100% (6/6), done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads
...
You can test the result on my heroku application , see also this google gign in link.

News : Python 3.11 alpha.

This is an old news because on the date Wednesday, April 6, 2022 the alpha version of the well-known python programming language was released.
The last Python 3.11 alpha (3.11.0a7) is available on this webpage.
I install and works good.
C:\Python311alpha>python.exe
Python 3.11.0a7 (main, Apr  5 2022, 21:27:39) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Here are the new features and changes so far:
PEP 657 -- Include Fine-Grained Error Locations in Tracebacks
PEP 654 -- Exception Groups and except*
PEP 673 -- Self Type
PEP 646-- Variadic Generics
PEP 680-- tomllib: Support for Parsing TOML in the Standard Library
PEP 675-- Arbitrary Literal String Type
PEP 655-- Marking individual TypedDict items as required or potentially-missing
bpo-46752-- Introduce task groups to asyncio
The Faster Cpython Project is already yielding some exciting results: 
this version of CPython 3.11 is ~ 19% faster on the geometric mean of the PyPerformance benchmarks, compared to 3.10.0.
It seems that the new changes are very different from the old versions and some are even effective.

Python 3.7.8 : Gym toolkit - part 001.

Today I tested the gym python package and both version of python: 3.7.8 and 3.10.4.
Gym is a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning algorithms. It supports teaching agents everything from walking to playing games like Pong or Pinball.
pip install gym
...

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gym
You can see the gym python package is loaded.
Let's test the default python source code from the official webpage:
import gym
env = gym.make("CartPole-v1")
observation = env.reset()
for _ in range(1000):
  env.render()
  action = env.action_space.sample() # your agent here (this takes random actions)
  observation, reward, done, info = env.step(action)

  if done:
    observation = env.reset()
env.close()
I created a file name gym001.py and I run it with python.exe.
The result is a window like on the official webpage.
I tested with python version 3.10.4 with same example and works well:
C:\Python310>python.exe -m pip install gym

Python : Issues with python install - part 001.

I use python as an additional programming language for useful little things, testing for tutorials, and because I use the Blender 3D program.
This involves using it in Visual Code and command line with various versions of python that require separate installations.
Although the development team of the python program makes major changes to maintain and improve these separate installations on various versions, especially on the Windows operating system, they put their management in trouble.
There are plenty of examples on the web with questions and answers.
Here's a simple one, if you run the python command line and the Windows store opens then some settings are not set correctly
Use the Start button and on the Windows search bar to find Manage application run aliases.
There should be two python aliases, deselect them, this will allow the usual python aliases python and python3.
This deselect will delete two files on this folder:
cd %localappdata%\Microsoft\WindowsApps

C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps>dir python*
If you select these the file will be in that folder.
To solve this issue you need to deselect all python or remove the python files from the folder: \YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps.
After that, you need to go on Add or remove programs windows settings area from your operating system and repair select your python install press Modify button and select: Add python to environment variables.
This will fix the path for your python installation.
Now the python 3.10.2 installer come with one update feature, see the next screenshot:
If I run the python command python --version to see my python install on folder C:\Python310, the result is this: Python 3.10.2.
When you enter the python command, it searches the directories listed in your path environment variables page from top to bottom.
Will be great if these python installations will be managed, updated, and fixed properly by the installer, I see something similar in the Unity 3D Hub.
Let's see another example that shows us why it needs well-managed software for python versions.
If you try to install gravityai python package then you can do it easy on colab google with python version 3.7.12.
The bad part comes when you can try to use this version with a simple python windows installer because not all Windows executable installers are available for this python version.
This research needs time and finally, I found a good python version 3.7.9 for this package.
First I got this error:
C:\Python379>python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in c:\users\
...
ERROR: Exception:
...
ValueError: Unable to find resource t64.exe in package pip._vendor.distlib
WARNING: You are using pip version 21.1.3; however, version 22.0.4 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'C:\Python379\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
I uninstall the setuptools with this command because python is set to the old install python 3.10.2 and give that error:
python -m pip uninstall pip setuptools
Found existing installation: pip 21.1.3
Uninstalling pip-21.1.3:

Uninstalling setuptools-57.2.0:
I upgrade with the pip tool my new python version 3.7.9 version.
python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in c:\python379\lib\site-packages (22.0.4)
The last step is to use python.exe not the python command from my Python379 folder to install the gravityai python package.
C:\Python379>python.exe -m pip install gravityai
Collecting gravityai

Installing collected packages: pathlib, asyncio, websockets, gravityai
Successfully installed asyncio-3.4.3 gravityai-0.1.3.post1 pathlib-1.0.1 websockets-9.1
Now I can use this package with python and python.exe commands in the Python379 folder.
Another useful command to have a good image of the install for pip tool is this:
python -m pip install --no-cache-dir  --force-reinstall -Iv gravityai
...
full command: 'C:\Python310\python.exe' -c '
...
exec(compile(setup_py_code, filename, "exec"))
This full output will give you information about the steps for installing the package, in this case, the uninstall and install the setuptools.
This option for the install process is --ignore-installed and let you install a new version of the package and keep the old one, see example command for gravityai package.
pip install gravityai --ignore-installed

Python 3.7.12 : My colab tutorials - part 023.

NVIDIA announces TensorRT 8.2 and Integrations with PyTorch and TensorFlow on Dec 02, 2021.
This Torch-TensorRT is a high-performance deep learning inference optimizer and runtime that delivers low latency, high-throughput inference for AI applications. TensorRT is used across several industries including healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, internet/telecom services, financial services, and energy.
I tested today using my gavatar image on colab notebook with the GPU device.
Am prelucrat un cod sursa exemplu existent de pe internet cu o un model RESNET known as Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition, see this website.
model = models.resnet50(pretrained=True).to("cuda")
I have a pretty good picture of the processing possibilities given for this topic and I can tell you today that this implementation of TensorRT is below my expectations.
However, there are some positive elements that can be used with this in the future.
The full exaemple and how can be used TensorRT with colab tool can be found on my GitHub repo with all colabs notebooks.

Python 3.10.0 : How to using wheels.

Wheels are the last component of the Python ecosystem that helps to make package installs easy.
Wheel and Egg are both packaging formats.
The Egg format was introduced by setuptools in 2004, whereas the Wheel format was introduced by PEP 427 in 2012.
You can use it easy with these commands:

Python 3.10.1 : Django and channels on Fedora distro - sync and async features.

A consumer is a subclass of either channels.consumer.AsyncConsumer or channels.consumer.SyncConsumer.
Consumers do a couple of things in particular: 
  • Structures your code as a series of functions to be called whenever an event happens, rather than making you write an event loop. 
  • Allow you to write synchronous or async code and deals with handoffs and threading for you.
This is another tutorial about Django and channels, you can see the first one.
For testing area you need the postman tool and I install and used with snap tool.

[mythcat@fedora ~]$ snap run postman
Let's go on the project folder:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ cd djangotest001/
[mythcat@fedora djangotest001]$ cd website001/
In this folder I have two folders: appsite001 and website001.
In the appsite001 I add these scripts.
I create a new python script named consumers.py with this source code:
from channels.consumer import SyncConsumer, AsyncConsumer
from channels.exceptions import StopConsumer

class MySyncConsumer(SyncConsumer):
    def websocket_connect(self,event):
        print('Websocket Connected ...')
        self.send({
        'type':'websocket.accept',
        })
    def websocket_receive(self, event):
        print('Messaged Received ...')
        print(event['text'])
        self.send({
        'type':'websocket.send',
        'text':'Message sent to client'
        })
    def websocket_diconnect(self, event):
        print('Websocket Disconnected ...')
        raise StopConsumer
        
class MyAsyncConsumer(AsyncConsumer):
    async def websocket_connect(self,event):
        print('Websocket Connected ...')
    async def websocket_receive(self, event):
        print('Messaged Received ...')
    async def websocket_diconnect(self, event):
        print('Websocket Disconnected ...')
I created routing.py python script with this source code:
from django.urls import path
from . import consumers

websocket_urlpatterns = [
    path('ws/sc/',consumers.MySyncConsumer.as_asgi()),
    ]
In the website001 I change this script named asgi.py.
import os

from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application

from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter

import appsite001.routing

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'website001.settings')

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    'http':get_asgi_application(),
    'websocket':URLRouter(
        appsite001.routing.websocket_urlpatterns
    )
})
Run the Django project with :
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ python manage.py runserver

News : Python as the programming language of 2021.

The TIOBE index is based on the number of search results for a programming language across popular search engines, which is pretty limited.
They say:
Python has won the prestigious TIOBE Programming Language of the Year award. Congratulations! This is the second time in a row. The award is given to the programming language that has gained the highest increase in ratings in one year. C# was on its way to get the title for the first time in history, but Python surpassed C# in the last month.

Python 3.10.1 : Django and channels on Fedora distro.

Today I tested the Django version 4.0.1 with channels features on Fedora 35.
For the channels package, I used the pip tool and I install the version
The python package channels come with features like:
Channels augments Django to bring WebSocket, long-poll HTTP, task offloading, and other async support to your code, using familiar Django design patterns and a flexible underlying framework that lets you not only customize behaviors but also write support for your own protocols and needs. see the GitHub website.
Let's install the Django package
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ pip3 install django --user
Requirement already satisfied: django in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (4.0.1)
Requirement already satisfied: sqlparse>=0.2.2 in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (from django) (0.4.2)
Requirement already satisfied: asgiref<4>=3.4.1 in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (from django) (3.4.1)
The next step is to create the project named website001:
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ mkdir djangotest001
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ cd djangotest001/
[mythcat@fedora djangotest001]$ django-admin startproject website001
[mythcat@fedora djangotest001]$ cd website001/
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ python3 manage.py runserver

Django version 4.0.1, using settings 'website001.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
...
Let's create the application named appsite001:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ django-admin startapp  appsite001
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ ls
appsite001  db.sqlite3  manage.py  website00
The apps.py file is this:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ cat  appsite001/apps.py 
from django.apps import AppConfig

class Appsite001Config(AppConfig):
    default_auto_field = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField'
    name = 'appsite001'
Let's add this on the settings.py file config:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ vi website001/settings.py
    
# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'appsite001',
]
Use the migrate feature to fix all:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ python manage.py migrate
Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions

Create the superuser named admin with password admin and set the email address:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ python manage.py createsuperuser
Username (leave blank to use 'mythcat'): admin
Email address: admin@server.com
Password: 
Password (again): 
The password is too similar to the username.
This password is too short. It must contain at least 8 characters.
This password is too common.
Bypass password validation and create user anyway? [y/N]: y
Superuser created successfully.

Let's install the channels package for the Django project:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ pip install channels
...
Successfully installed Automat-20.2.0 autobahn-21.11.1 channels-3.0.4 constantly-15.1.0 
daphne-3.0.2 hyperlink-21.0.0 incremental-21.3.0 pyasn1-0.4.8 pyasn1-modules-0.2.8 
service-identity-21.1.0 twisted-21.7.0 txaio-21.2.1 zope.interface-5.4.0
Add this package into the settinngs.py config file:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ vi website001/settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'channels',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'appsite001',
]
...
#WSGI_APPLICATION = 'website001.wsgi.application'
ASGI_APPLICATION = 'website001.asgi.application'
...
Make these changes to switch from wsgi to asgi features for channels package:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ cp website001/wsgi.py website001/asgi.py 
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ vi website001/asgi.py 
import os

from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'website001.settings')

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    'http':get_asgi_application(),
})
I tested on the admin area how the settings for this packet will work:
[mythcat@fedora website001]$ python3 manage.py runserver

The result shows that it works:
The next theoretical steps would be to determine how the channels package will work and routing for access to appsite001.
