What're my best options for platform-independent MP3 and FLAC playback in Python? I'm writing a media player to serve as a reference implementation for a new metadata format I'm writing, and most of the stuff that handles MP3 or FLAC either a. only works on Windows or b. is bundled in with a bunch of poo poo focused around game development that I'd rather not distribute with my program (like pygame). Right now I'm settled on pyglet (smaller and simpler than pygame at least) but it would be really keen if I just had a teeny-tiny package (or two, for each format) that did nothing but play back media, modulate the volume, etc.

All you need is a text editor at this point. Don't worry about getting fancy too quick. (I followed the same book and I and several pros I know recommend it to a lot of people, it's a very good intro) Shaw suggesting Atom is a new one, but I just checked and I guess he's updated it since I last looked at the starting chapters.

When you say "framework" I assume you mean an IDE - definitely overkill for you right now (unless you're used to using IDEs with other programming languages - but if you've been programming before, you probably already have a preferred text editor installed)

Jetbrains makes a lot of really nice stuff and I really like IntelliJ for Java and JavaScript. I found Pycharm to be frustrating to use because most small Python apps aren't organized the way Pycharm seems to try to organize them

Personally, I write all my Java in IntelliJ but only larger Python projects in PyCharm - if it's something small I'm A-OK with not having all the fancy features.

There's nothing odd about talking about dependency injection, outside of DI/IoC being slightly less 'popular' in Python-land due to dynamic typing making it trivial to handle.

As a relative newbie, if dependency injection is less popular in Python than it is in other languages, how do you handle cases in Python that you'd typically use dependency injection for in, say, Java?

DI isn't exactly uncommon in Python. It's just that because of Python's dynamic nature you don't really need a lot of scaffolding that you need in other languages so it often doesn't go by the Official Pattern Name Dependency Injection. You just write stuff in Python in a pythonic way and then later someone is talking about Python and DI and you go "you know I guess I just did use DI!"

edit: Forgot to add that super() is an effective and easy way of doing DI in python.

I've tried to figure out super() in Python a few times and everything I look at makes no goddamn sense; do you ? have any good resources covering it? I don't mind doing regular old DI for the project I'm doing in Python it would be nice to properly understand how super() works.

I know that the error code it's giving is linked to GCC but the only things I'm finding relating to this are... again, insuring I have gcc/g++ updated. I do have python3-dev installed but it's saying it's version 3.5 - I've tried installing tcod with both python3 (3.7) and python3.5 (... 3.5). Am I missing something horribly simple? I can't get it installed in a virtual environment, either.

I have pretty bad ADHD, so I'll have to rewatch a video 4-6 times to catch it all - more if there's lovely editing, weird jumps, etc. On the other side, I have a ridiculously fast reading speed and I don't have to pause/scrub through a video to get back to what I last understood if I missed something - I just flick my eyes back or go back a page.

Please help me understand a Django issue:

Python 3.6, Django 1.10*

code:

request.session['tasks'].append(request.POST['title'])

This does not properly append to the list stored in request.session['tasks']. This appears to be a known issue - except this page is thirteen years old. I've found a few blog posts on the issue suggesting to do something like "request.session.modified = True" or pulling the list out of session, modifying it, and reinserting it into the proper key in session - these are, again, very old pages. I can't seem to find anything modern on the topic, and unfortunately "list" is a common enough word that Google results get clogged with garbage. Normally I'd accept this, except I have a project where this works as expected:

code:

request.session['activity'].append([activity_result, result])

works just fine, repeatedly. I have a few other projects where this is the case as well. I assumed it was some weirdness with shoving something straight into the list right out of request.POST, so I tried this instead:

code:

new_task = request.POST['title']
request.session['tasks'].append(new_task)

with no luck. It appears the only option is to have "request.session.modified = True" somewhere else in the function, but I absolutely have projects where that doesn't occur. I also have projects from other students/staff that manipulate request.session in this way where nothing unexpected happens. I have multiple other projects where I'm shoving lists into session and appending them, and everything works as normal.

What am I missing? Other uses of session work just fine, nothing seems amiss in my settings or in other places in my project. I thought maybe 'tasks' was somehow reserved and tried different key names; I've tried storing strings, ints, tuples, lists, etc. inside the list in session. I've tried multiple iterations of code and can't seem to pin down anything other than "works in other projects, doesn't work here". I'm wondering if I made some small mistake upfront and I'm just continually missing it?

* I teach** intro web development with a company that insists we use Django 1.10 instead of 1.11 for some reason; I appear to have the same problem in 1.11 as well, although I haven't tested as extensively.

The venv folder that pycharm creates is 75MB with only pip20 and setuptools...is that normal?

I can't speak for anything else but I just looked at the folder sizes for two virtual environments I have - one has pretty much nothing and is 9.4MB, and one is an environment I use to teach Django and that's 48MB (Django is about 33MB of that). To test something out, I started a new PyCharm project and had it make a venv, and it's 14.9MB. It looks like PyCharm's process for creating a venv in shoving some extra stuff in there. pip list shows not much installed, but some of the folders inside the venv have some extra stuff. I'm not familiar enough with how venvs are made to explain why PyCharm's venv creation inflates the size of the environment, but there's a difference for sure. It shouldn't be 75MB, though. Unless it's a difference of OS?

Couldn't you just use the functions themselves as dictionary keys? I'm laying in bed and way too lazy to open repl.it on my phone, but I'm pretty sure Python dictionary keys can be any kind of object, including a function - you just wouldn't call it in the dictionary.

e: since you're returning the dictionary that sounds non-ideal - you could create a list of function/string tuples and iterate over that; call the first part of the tuple and update the dictionary using the key of the second part

To be more specific I was thinking something like this:

code:

calc = {"mean": 0, "variance": 0, ...}

ops = [(np.mean, "mean"), (np.var, "variance") ...]

since if you're going to passing that dictionary anywhere else, having the functions themselves as dictionary keys or having them involved in any way is just going to be kinda confusing for whoever/whatever else is going to be handling them (IMO, at least)

I have what's more or less an academic question: when doing unit testing (via unittest, pytest, nose2, w/e) you're primarily testing based on the output of the function. There's no simple way to test what a function prints to the console rather than what it returns, right? Simple in this case as "able to be explained to a novice programmer, in a way they could grasp without significant difficulty".

(This question is pretty dumb, here's the background: I teach at a code bootcamp and want to introduce unit testing to students sooner so they're not making GBS threads themselves when asked about it during a job interview, and most of our early sample functions we have them write are still occasionally printing stuff. I need like, one more reason to cut as many print statements from the curriculum as soon as possible and this could be the tipping point - if a function relies on a print statement to work properly, and we can't test if it works properly, then it's dumb to be using print() while teaching unit tests.)

I need a confirmation that my hunch is right here, as it's Python-related but involves some stuff I don't normally have to think about :

I teach a Python web development course that uses bcrypt - CFFI is a dependency of bcrypt. I have a student on the new M1 Mac who, when running a Django project where bcrypt gets imported in views, gets a nice long exception that terminates with this:

code:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/username/Python_stack/django/my_environments/django2/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_cffi_backend.cpython-39-darwin.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /Users/username/Python_stack/django/my_environments/django2/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_cffi_backend.cpython-39-darwin.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture
    /Users/username/Python_stack/django/my_environments/django2/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_cffi_backend.cpython-39-darwin.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

CFFI appears to not have an ARM64 release, unless I'm misreading it - so short of compiling it herself for her architecture, she doesn't really have any workaround for this, right?

(it feels like the obvious answer is "yes, she's boned" but I also feel like I'm missing something here)

Good question: there's someone who wants a desktop version of VARIA, the Super Metroid randomizer. You can run it from the command line but not everyone is like, comfortable with that, so I figured I'd take the time to learn how to make a decent Python GUI and package the whole thing as an .exe for ease of use.

I want to write a traditional console roguelike in Python. Originally I was going to not bother using an actual console and just use libtcod, but the documentation is way worse than it used to be and figuring out event handling is kind of frustrating me - I wanted to do an actual 80x24 console to begin with anyways, the kind of thing you could play remotely over SSH if so inclined. Python has curses built in, but...

quote:

The Windows version of Python doesn�t include the curses module. A ported version called UniCurses is available. You could also try the Console module written by Fredrik Lundh, which doesn�t use the same API as curses but provides cursor-addressable text output and full support for mouse and keyboard input.

I'd like this in theory* to be playable on Windows. Unicurses has kind of inadequate documentation that is just gonna have me look at the C documentation a lot, which isn't great but is livable. The Console project linked is a dead webpage - someoneupdated it to Python 3, but there's no documentation and if I have to dig through the source to understand everything I may as well just use libtcod.

Anyone have a suggestion of what to use, any package suggestions? Or will I just do it in Linux anyways and save letting Windows people play it until I get a webserver going?

(* really I wanna do it through a browser, like how DCSS's webtiles servers work, alongside ssh, but getting an actual playable game first might be a good idea)

I've made a script to automate measurements for a multiplexer and want to make it quicker to use (so a user doesn't have to edit the script when they want to change between measuring voltage or resistance, or tweak measurement intervals).
I could make an interface with tkinter, pysimplegui, QT, or whatever, but that feels like it would be to elaborate for the actual functionality it needs to have. I also could bash my head against curses until I get something nice, but that would go against my desire to not spend too much time on it.

I did ask about this earlier (and sadly I don't think the posted ones really solved my problems - I decided to just go with libtcod since it has some useful built-in pathfinding stuff and rather than do essentially an actual tty/ssh connection in-browser I can just squirt the game state to the browser as JSON or w/e) and after looking into them/fiddling for a bit I think Rich and Urwid seem to be the simplest/quickest to get going with - although it's worth noting I didn't do much other than read some documentation and real quickly do some experiments)

I have a music synthesizer app I created, which pulls up a GUI off of a single .py file, and I am trying to figure out the best way to port it into a webpage. From what I understand, Flask will take the return values of Python functions and whatnot I feed it then return it to a webpage... but if my app doesn't really have a return value, I can't use Flask, right? Do I need to just rebuild my app entirely in another language like Javascript, or can I use more advanced functionality of Flask/another framework to translate my app?

I mean, depending on what the app is doing, you can just pass the data into a function that does your synthesis stuff, and if it's just creating a sample and storing it on disk or whatever Flask can just return a redirect to whatever page you started at. I'm imagining something like a sequencer/live synthesis, though, and that you'd probably want to just reimplement in JS if you want it to be an actual website... if you're just using Flask because you don't like any of the Python GUI toolkits, though, it can just run a local server and do whatever.

Or, you know, something else. Like Brython. (which is... JavaScript when you get down to it)

If you're looking to do some live knob-tuning or whatever like you would with a VST or a real-deal instrument, even something like a connection via a socket is gonna be dogshit. Like, it's possible, but...

Also this is mainly a learning exercise for myself. Just cobbling together a solution isn't so much what I'm interested in, as I am really just trying to properly learn to how to code with and implement my code into frameworks.

Good news - if you want, you can still get Flask involved in here. It might be overkill, but maybe you forsee a future where you want to save patches or sequences to the database for later access from another machine?

Definitely both, but emphasis on the former as my primary focus. Sounds like I can develop a bit of back-end development skills by working on the former, though?

I'd focus on one thing at a time - figure out how to do what you want in JavaScript, then think about how to pipe that data from the client to the server to do whatever with it.

Has anyone ever written an interface to SA in python?

It's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but Votefinder (a tool the Mafia community here uses to help run games) has quite a bit of code to download/parse SA posts and reply to certain threads. If you're looking to do something specific and need inspiration, you might want to poke around here.
