However, PyCharm tells me "local variable page is not used" on line 2 and "local function page() is not used" on line 5. Why does this error occur?

It's being pretty literal with you. You're not using either the variable or the function. You set page to the name argument, but then never see it again. Then you redefine page as a function but never call it in that local scope.

I am extremely lazy, however, and it would be nice if I could write a function that added a page for me given a URL pattern, a page name, and a reference to an HTML file, like so:

Since you are using PyCharm, it already has something to do that for you in the form of live templates. Just type the word "route", and hit tab, and it will create a flask template for you.

You can check out the Live Template in the settings menu to see what other shortcuts are available to you.

That's not available in the Community Edition, which is missing a shitload of features.

Why do you care about the name of a throwaway wrapper function? _{Which, BTW you can set with the __name__ property if you really want}

Anyway, you can probably do the same thing like this:

Python code:

def addpage(pattern, src):
    return app.route(pattern)(render_template)(src)

etc = addpage('/etc/', 'etc.html')

(Untested)

Wouldn't you want to do something like this:

Python code:

def addpage(pattern, src):

    @app.route(pattern)
    def page(src):
        return render_template(src)

    return page

about = addpage('/about', 'about.html')

So instead of making name an input to your function, it's actually the variable name in the (more) global namespace.

It seems extraordinarily silly to me to add a helper method for this. If all you are doing is rendering a static template, then you should probably have that cached and configured from your web server.

But I'm probably thinking "at scale" too much, more so than for a learner just playing around. Hm.

I'm just somehow under the impression that the name of the function has to be exactly the same as the HTML name :downs:

Maybe that is not the case.

Oh, also, this isn't really Python-specific, but I just tried using gunicorn and when I exited, localhost:5000 is still displaying my page. :psyduck:

You now have an installation of virtualenv linked to the homebrew python. Anytime you want to work on a new project, create a virtualenv for that project, use pip to install whatever modules you want to use, and have at it. When you switch to a different project, switch virtualenvs.

And PythonXy. Actually here's a bunch of descriptions of stuff pulled from various blog posts and peppered with my own comments:

Main Windows installer from python.org: good starting point for vanilla Python, but if you want any modules or extensions then you're on your own. Completely free. A great option if you're extremely paranoid and want "real" Python or something

Pythonxy: Aimed at science and engineering applications based around Spyder, an IDE that looks and feels a lot like MATLAB. Comes with a lot of useful packages and even a lot of other IDEs. Completely free, endorsed by several people in the thread

PortablePython: Python plus a bunch of packages bundled together and made to run off of a thumb drive. You don't need to put it on a thumb drive necessarily, but you can if you want. Comes with IDEs and lots of useful packages. This is great if you need to work in an environment where you need total control over your Python distribution but don't necessarily have admin access on your computer but still have access to USB ports. Completely free

Anaconda: Aimed primarily at business, has free and paid versions but even the free version comes with some of their home-grown tools. I think that they make it slightly easier to update modules than Pythonxy

ActivePython: Aimed primarily at business, has its own package manager, has free and paid versions, endorsed by several people in the thread

Enthought (Canopy): Aimed primarily at business, has free and paid versions. These guys feel like glorified package managers but apparently they develop their own tools, too, like the Anaconda guys

I'm pretty sure that all of these different 3rd party Python package managers (Pythonxy, Anaconda, etc) create isolated distributions that shouldn't effect anything else, which is handy!

If you're on Linux just be a man and use your package manager. If you're on a Mac then I think your only choice for a 3rd party package manager is Enthought, and they'll want to charge you for the privilege, so get hosed Mac users I guess

Mrs. Wynand: Nov 23, 2002; DLT 4EVA

I would like to propose this addition to the FAQ-ish section:

What is this __metaclass__ thinger?
Metaclass is a way to break python by changing the ways classes get defined in a non-obvious, non-composable way from a distance. It's main purpose today is to trick people into doing dumb poo poo. You should never use __metaclass__. If you see __metaclass__ used by mature and reliable libraries and/or frameworks, know that their authors have regretted that choice. Just about anything reasonable you can do with __metaclass__ is much better done by a class decorator (which are not available prior to python 2.6, which is why __metaclass__ is actually used quite a bit, to everyone's determent and general displeasure).

What is PEP8?
PEP8 is the official python coding style guide. You should definitely get to know it soon after figuring out the language's basics. If you write according to PEP8 your code will be easy to follow and easy to read and you will be popular with your peers and sexual partners. Conversely, if you begin to stray and dabble with using tabs or relative imports for no good reason, your peers will mistrust you and your sexual partners will begin to question your personal hygiene.

Decorators are awesome! I made such good use of them, this thing I wrote is more decorators than function bodies!
Every time you do something like this, a little girl or boy has to watch their parents fight and cry quietly into their teddy bear. You inhuman monster. (Decorators are great, but use them sparingly. Consider a better class layout or simply moving some behaviour into the method body like normal people. Basically, don't use them just because they're there - have a good reason to use them.)

I hear Python isn't as fast or web scale or good at concurrent workers as hip and popular Node.js
So here's the thing: Python is known for its terrible behavior when it comes to multithreading - there's a thing called the Global Interpreter Lock or GIL which essentially means no actual python code can execute simultaneously on the same python process even in different threads, though one can often create the illusion of doing so. Guess what though, v8 javascript has the exact same behaviour, except with absolutely no ability to "lock" or "wait" while executing a function. You are either executing a function or waiting for a function to be called (by an external callback). You can't even have the illusion of simultaneous execution, which is why Node.js has its famous "boomerang" coding style (callbacks inside callbacks inside callbacks inside callbacks...). We can have the exact same sort of "no shared memory state, just wait for IO to return over thousands of 'green threads'" evented architecture as Node.js in Python, except instead of having to break out to a callback just to wait for every single loving thing that goes to IO, we just,get this, wait for IO to return by pausing execution. I.e. an evented python application looks like a normal loving application where statements happen one after another in sequence and we can throw and handle exceptions like normal people. And considering python can definitely hold its own in terms of request handling benchmark dick waving, it is as astounding as it is bewildering that people use Node.js for anything at all. (In theory you could do some weird poo poo where you want to pass around code from client to sever, but I've never seen anyone actually do this in a Node.js app, because it's actually a pretty crazy idea as soon as you think about it for more than 5 minutes)

tl;dr: Python is at least on par with Node for making evented servers while being far, far easier to code with. This may be less due to Python being awesome and more due to Node/JS being totally hosed up though. Having said that, IMO you can't really do better than Python for this sort of problem without digging into the more, shall we say, eclectic programming languages such as Go or Erlang (Which are both fine btw! Go learn Go, it's neat!)

# ? Nov 10, 2013 01:17

tef: May 30, 2004; -> some l-system crap ->

What is a metaclass?

Classes are templates for objects. Metaclasses are templates for classes. They are very hard to use, and treated with a mixture of fear and reverence by python programmers, a feature which comes at the expense of maintainability. Use with caution, or better, simply avoid them.

What is PEP8?

PEP8 is a compromise, a series of stylistic choices which prioritises working with other people over individual aesthetics. You should try and follow them, but it is still a guideline. At the very least, method_names and function_names have underscores, ClassNames are camel case, and indentation is four spaces.

What are decorators?

Decorators are a nice way to wrap functions. Python uses them for methods (class, static) and properties. Decorators are used best when they are simple wrappers, and fail badly when they have highly specific behaviours.

What is the GIL?

Python supports threads, but not concurrent threads: Only one thread is active at a time. If you need to have concurrency, consider using multiprocessing, with queues to glue the processes together. If you want to write event based code, there is the upcoming async library in python 3, as well as a plethora of options for python 2, including twisted.

Just a clarification, there is only one Anaconda, and it is always free. We have a couple paid products that we developed that we happen to distribute conveniently as conda packages, but Anaconda itself is completely free.

I recently started working at a new company, and they wrote their own web API test automation framework. It uses metaclasses heavily. It's kind of a pain to work on because IDE code completion or intellisense or whatever you want to call it doesn't work at all. I can barely figure out what code is calling what.

Don't use metaclasses unless you have a really good reason. Actually, don't use any tricky features of the language at all unless you have a good reason.

what I really love about PEP8 is that it itself tells you that it's just a guideline and to rely on practicality and your own common sense at the end of the day. That said, I do think that choosing to diverge from it simply because of "individual aesthetics" is terrible, terrible advice. Not to be all mr. language wars snarky pants here, but if you actually consider "individual aesthetics" in your code a valid concern, perhaps you should maybe just go Ruby. "Preferably one obvious way only" and all that.

Rants are neat and all, but the Promises/A+ spec, of which there are at least a dozen compatible implementations to choose from, makes event-driven Javascript code pretty sane and readable -- there are, believe it or not, ways to control the flow of async code besides nesting braces 20 spaces deep and manually counting references.

(Figuring out how to wrap callback-based libraries into promises using something like promisemonkey or when-promisify can be a pain in the rear end, but the resulting code has completely sane flow once you boilerplate a couple of lines.)

It doesn't make Python any less suitable for these things, mind you -- before my current job I wrote lots of gevent and barely touched Node for a reason -- but the state of things isn't nearly as melodramatically awful as you're making it sound.

It's been a while since I looked at this, but don't promises merely roll the callbacks out flatly instead of a boomerang? It's still a pile of callbacks, just, we don't have to nest them, woopedy-doo. That is... technically an improvement, but to my mind still in that same order of magnitude in terms of being a weird-rear end way of doing things compared to, you know, statements that follow each-other.

Unless I really did severely misunderstand promises and it's possible to use them without callbacks (without locking the process during io sync).

Lurchington posted:

ABC does come close, though their nature also kinda bring out the most painful parts of metclass' shortcomings. You're hosed as soon as you try to compose them with anything else using metaclass and considering these are supposed to be at the root of your major interfaces... that is extremely likely to happen. I dunno, I suspect there may be less painful ways of dealing with this though I couldn't come up with something on the spot. At the root of it though, Python just seems to have a sort of arms-length relationship with formal interfaces and suffers when you start leaning on them too hard. Which is unfortunate, I rather like formal interfaces - they are very useful.

I'd have to have more details to know for sure, but if it does roughly what I imagine it does, I bet you could do it with a class decorator... But that's easy for me to say from my position of blissful ignorance

I am messing around with paramiko and one of the demos requires a module called interactive. Where the gently caress can I find it?

Searching turns up nothing since its such a generic name. Its to run this demo script - https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/blob/master/demos/demo_simple.py

code:

...
import interactive
...

Pip turned up nothing.

EDIT: Nevermind apparently it was another file that I didn't download. WOOPS.
