IPython on resizeable Win32 Console If you are on win32, you might want to use Console, an open source replacement for that inflexible old win32 terminal. Here's how. Install IPython using the .exe installer. Download stable version of Console (1.5 at this time). Create a shortcut to console.exe, right-click -> properties. Set target to e.g. C:\opt\Console\console.exe -c "/k python c:\python25\scripts\ipython.py -p sh" you can also create a tab dedicated to Ipython (and have other dedicated to other shells or command-line app). go to edit->settings->tabs : click on the add button and fill the following fields : * title : ipython ico : C:\Python24\py.ico shell : cmd.exe /k "ipython" start-up dir : whatever is good for you. note that python.exe need to be in the path Using IPython with Version 2 of Console use the -r option for creating the shortcut, e.g. C:\opt\Console2\console.exe -r "/k python c:\python25\scripts\ipython.py -p sh" Some advantages of Console2 over normal console (for IPython use) Distinctive taskbar icon Can reside in system tray There are many other benefits, so it's well worth setting up Example config for Console-2.00b120-Beta (you need to edit the xml file): http://vvtools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/config/console.xml If you have problems with ctrl+C killing Console2 immediately, launch ipython from a normal Console2 session manually.

This tutorial teaches the fundamental concepts of symbolic debuggers. We will be using Winpdb to debug Python scripts. The concepts that you learn here, however, are fundamental to working with debuggers in general. At the end of the exercise, you should feel comfortable with using symbolic debuggers and have an inherent understanding of why these tools prove to reduce time and effort needed in debugging without altering the code itself to do so.

Your example works as you describe on recent matplotlib versions. I suspect you are using an old one. The preferred way of handling missing points in numpy, and therefore in matplotlib and pylab, however, is via masked arrays.import pylabimport numpy as npfrom numpy import maa = [1,2,3,4,5]b = np.array([6,2,np.nan,1,9])bm = ma.masked_where(np.isnan(b), b)pylab.plot(a,bm)pylab.show()There are many other examples of masked array use in the examples directory of the matplotlib distribution.EricFernando Abilleira wrote:> Dear sourceforge community,> > I come from a Matlab environment so I am used to plotting matrices that > contain NaN elements.

Linda is an widely studied distributed computing environment, centered around the notion of a tuple space. A tuple space is a bag (also called a multi-set) of tuples. A tuple is an ordered, typed chunk of data. Tuple spaces exist independently of processes in the system, and the data placed into a tuple space also exist independently. See "Generative communication in Linda" (1985) and "Multiple tuple spaces in Linda" both by David Gelernter for more information on Linda.

Use a staticmethod when you know which class you want to access as you are writing the code.

Use a classmethod if you have a class hierarchy and want the method to operate on the actual class used in the call rather than the class where it was defined:

lternative: if your file has indent 4 and you want an indent of 3 and gg=G is not working as expected, try :set inde=indent(v:lnum)/4*3 then go ahead with the well known gg=G use tabs or spaces, doesn't matter

Re: Kill process based on window name (win32) Thank you Roger. Your advice did the trick. For anyone interested, the basic code to terminate a process (politely) would be something like this (hwnd is retrieved using win32gui.EnumerateWindows): # Get the window's process id's t, p = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd) # Ask window nicely to close win32gui.PostMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_CLOSE, 0, 0) # Allow some time for app to close time.sleep(10) # If app didn't close, force close try: handle = win32api.OpenProcess(win32con.PROCESS_TERMINATE, 0, p) if handle: win32api.TerminateProcess(handle,0) win32api.CloseHandle(handle) except: pass:

pywinauto is a set of python modules to automate the Microsoft Windows GUI. At it's simplest it allows you to send mouse and keyboard actions to windows dialogs and controls.
