News : Colab behavior through runtime .

I would like Google to emphasize more on the development side some elements that work like robots by interfacing with the development side.
Today I worked a little on artificial intelligence and I realized that it doesn't create textgenrnn_weights.hdf5 file for training created with the Python textgenrnn mode.
A solution is to reset the runtime with Ctrl+M and resume running.
They specify RESTART RUNTIME when using Python modules, see:
WARNING: The following packages were previously imported in this runtime:
   [numpy]
You must restart the runtime in order to use newly installed versions.
In this case, with the creation of textgenrnn_weights.hdf5 file, it is more difficult to understand and cannot be seen easily.

Python 3.10.12 : My colab tutorials and news from colab - part 035.

In this notebook I will show you how to use python to run a program written in the programming language for CUDA.
This allows you to use NVIDIA CUDA Compiler Driver NVCC, see this official webpage.
NVCC Plugin for Jupyter Notebook by https://github.com/andreinechaev/nvcc4jupyter.
The example I tested is simple:
# This is formatted as CUDA code
__global__ void cuda_hello(){
    printf("Hello World from GPU!\n");
}

int main() {
    cuda_hello<<<1,1>>>();
    return 0;
}

Python 3.8.10 : My colab tutorials and news from colab - part 034.

I add a new colab notebook with a simple source code to list all running VM processes from the colab notebook
You can see more examples on my GitHub colab google repo.
This is the source code:
%%sh
echo "List all running VM processes."
ps -ef
echo "Done"

News : About my work and one of my websites.

I would like to bring to the attention of those who follow my activity on my websites and appreciate the inability to continue with one of the websites: free-tutorials.org. It is currently hosted on a free host, but I cannot import it 100%, which has led me not to complete it with new posts. The continuation of the activities there, considering the limited time, will be carried out on my blogs with the defined theme with which I started: Linux - Fedora, Graphics, Python, Pygame.
In the meantime, because the host is expensive and until now someone has helped me to host it on his server, it is possible to sell the domain: free-tutorials.org - I receive purchase offers at my personal Yahoo email address catafest@yahoo.com.
Minimum starting price 250 euros, because the domain is old from 2018.

Python : Fix error user on install with requirements.txt.

The error show like this :
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Python311\\share'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
This can be easy fix with :
pip install -r requirements.txt --user
By using the --user flag, the packages will be installed in the user-specific site-packages directory, ensuring that the packages are installed only for the current user and not affecting the system-wide Python installation.

News : OSINT - Open Source Intelligence python course.

For those who want to learn Python in order to: 
  • become a really good developer; 
  • to take the exam to get into university; 
  • to be interviewed for a job.
This course omits VERY many important things and sometimes even recommends what could have been called bad practice. There are things that don't matter when writing small automations for everyday OSINT tasks, but are extremely important when creating serious team projects.
You cam see the project on this GhitHub account.

News : JupyterLab 4.0 released.

The Jupyter contributor community is proud to announce JupyterLab 4.0, the next major release of our full-featured development environment. The package is now available on PyPI and conda-forge. You can upgrade by running pip install --upgrade jupyterlab or conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab.

Python Qt6 : Download for youtube with PyQt6.

Simple example with PyQt6 to create an interface to download a video using a URL from youtube.
This simple example has some limitations, the filtering of the results is done according to the possibilities of the pytube mode and only after video, it does not use multithread and it does not have multiple selection possibilities and options. In conclusion, it offers a simple download functionality.

Python 3.11.0 : Exo - domain-specific programming language in python.

Exo is a domain-specific programming language that helps low-level performance engineers transform very simple programs that specify what they want to compute into very complex programs that do the same thing as the specification, only much, much faster.
You can find it on GitHub project and on the official webpage.
Let's install it with pip tool:
C:\PythonProjects>mkdir exo-lang_001

C:\PythonProjects>cd exo-lang_001

C:\PythonProjects\exo-lang_001>pip install exo-lang --user
Collecting exo-lang

Let's test with this default example but using virtual environments
This allow me to install Python packages in an isolated location from the rest of your system instead of installing them system-wide.

Python 3.11.3 : Using Jupyter Lab on Fedora linux distro.

JupyterLab is the latest web-based interactive development environment for notebooks, code, and data. Its flexible interface allows users to configure and arrange workflows in data science, scientific computing, computational journalism, and machine learning.
Follow these steps:
  1. Install the jupyterlab python package using pip. This will allow you to run Jupyter notebooks in the terminal.
    pip install jupyterlab
  2. Open a Jupyter Lab session in the terminal using the command:
    jupyter lab
  3. Create a new notebook file and save it with the .ipynb extension.
  4. In the notebook file, add the source code to work with the Python programming language and save the file notebook.
See the next screenshot how this works:

Python 3.8.10 : My colab tutorials and news from colab - part 033.

Colab comes with new changes:
Starting today paid users can select their preferred NVIDIA GPU. Visit Runtime > Change runtime type and choose between T4, V100, and A100. We'll do our best to assign your choice based on GPU availability.
Today I tested a new python package called News API with colab to search for news.
News API is a simple, easy-to-use REST API that returns JSON search results for current and historic news articles published by over 80,000 worldwide sources.
You can find my sample code in my collaboration area of the GitHub repository.

Extension for inkscape with python.

Today, I created the first Python extension for Inkscape, and although in theory, it seems easy, it is not really so.
You have to study a little and search the web, but I created a tutorial on one of my website.
The idea is to use at least two files with different extensions.
I named one catafest_extension.inx and the other catafest_extension.py.
For the Python file, I used this source code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# coding=utf-8
#
# Copyright (C) 2023 Catalin George Festila, catafest@yahoo.com
#

"""
Simple test extension for inkscape
"""

import inkex
# add by me 

from lxml import etree
def draw_SVG_square(w,h, x,y, parent):
    style = { 'stroke'        : 'none',
              'stroke-width'  : '1',
              'fill'          : '#0000FF'
            }

    attribs = {
        'style'     : str(inkex.Style(style)),
        'height'    : str(h),
        'width'     : str(w),
        'x'         : str(x),
        'y'         : str(y)
            }
    patrat = etree.SubElement(
        parent, inkex.addNS('rect','svg'), attribs )
    return patrat

class MyExtension(inkex.Effect):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def effect(self):
        self.msg("This is an empty extension created by catafest !")
        parent = self.svg.get_current_layer()
        draw_SVG_square(100,100, 0,0, parent)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyExtension().run()
The result is this

Python 3.8.10 : My colab tutorials - part 032.

I haven't written for the python community in a long time, here is another example that I created using a tool from google called colab.

This and the other examples can be found in my repository named colab_google on my GitHub account.
