Hello. I've downloaded the new Python to my new Computer, and the new Python mystifies me. Instead of an editor, it looks like a Dos executable program. How can I write my own Python Functions and subroutines in the new Python? It is version 3.

Open a text editor and write your own functions and subs. Save the file
as prog.py.

From the command line (not from inside the Python shell), type:

$ python prog.py

It is version 3.11 (64 bit).

The latest and greatest. Significantly sped up vs 3.10.

Possibly in some previous setup, IDLE was the thing you opened. IDLE
*is* an IDE - maybe not the fanciest one available, but it's written in
Python and comes with the Python distribution. I don't disagree with
the two fine editors/IESs suggested previously (I use both of them, in
slightly different circumstances), but IDLE works well too.

Try telling windows to find and open idle and see if that's more what
you are expecting?

It sounds like on your old computer, you used some kind of program to
write python code and perhaps to run it too. It would help if you could
say what that program was. Python itself - the actual program called "python.exe" on Windows - runs a Python interpreter inside a Windows
console window. That's what you see when you run "python". You
probably would like to run the same editor as you used on the old
computer, but unless you can say what that program was, we can't help
you. The best we can do is to suggest various alternative programs and editors, as several people have already done.

Some non-uniform generators are based on uniform generators

If one has access to the underlying uniform generator used,
one can test this with the algorithms for uniform generators.

Hello all,

I would like to share Panoptisch, a FOSS(Free and Open Source Software)
tool I've been working on.

We all may have encountered the issue of not having a clear dependency tree or not being sure of the modules our dependencies and sub-dependencies are using.

Some of us may have also heard of supply chain attacks, where open source projects are hijacked to distribute malicious code masquerading as the original package. This can happen deep down in the dependency chain.

Panoptisch was born out of the need to accurately verify the modules used
in my project.
It recursively scans a Python module or file to find modules used and
exports a report in JSON which can be parsed for analysis.

For example, should your yaml parser, or it's sub-dependencies import socket/os? should your markdown renderer or it's sub-dependencies import sys/importlib? *Probably not.*

Panoptisch is in early stages, has known limitations and is looking for
help! I would love feedback, contributions, and most important of all, rigorous testing!

I would also love to help you integrate this tool in your workflow to write more secure software.

The whold story is,

I had a script which accepts an argparse's positional argument. I like this argument may have control character embedded in when required. So I make a post "How to enter escape character in a positional string argument from the command line? on DEC05.

But there is no response. I assume that there is no way of doing it and I have to convert it later after I get the whole string from the command line.

I made this convertion using the chr(int(...)) method but not satisfied with. That why this post came out.

At this moment the conversion is done almost the same as Peter's codecs.decode() method but without the need of importing codecs module:-)

I would like to share Panoptisch, a FOSS(Free and Open Source Software)
tool I've been working on.

Hi there,

I added your project to my watch list, keep on your work.

A couple of points:

First, I glanced at the code and in the very first file I opened, https://github.com/R9295/panoptisch/blob/master/panoptisch/__init__.py,
I see main(). I usually place such a code in __main__.py

Second, in addition to AST analysis it would be nice to implement a
sandbox with import hooks.

Axy.

That?s actually more of a shell question than a Python question. How you pass certain control characters is going to depend on the shell, operating system, and possibly the keyboard you?re using. (e.g. https://www.alt-codes.net).

Here?s a sample program. The dashes are to help show the boundaries of the string

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import argparse
import logging

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)
parser.add_argument('data')
args = parser.parse_args()
print(f'Input\n: -{args.data}- length {len(args.data)}')
for c in args.data:
print(f'{ord(c)} ',end='')
print()

Using bash on Linux:

./cl.py '^M
'
Input
-
- length 3
13 32 10

s0 = r'\x0a'
At this moment it was done by

def to1byte(matchobj):
....return chr(int('0x' + matchobj.group(1), 16))
s1 = re.sub(r'\\x([0-9a-fA-F]{2})', to1byte, s0)

But, is it that difficult on doing this simple thing?

--Jach

The whold story is,

I had a script which accepts an argparse's positional argument. I like this argument may have control character embedded in when required. So I make a post "How to enter escape character in a positional string argument from the command line? on DEC05.

But there is no response. I assume that there is no way of doing it and I have to convert it later after I get the whole string from the command line.

I made this convertion using the chr(int(...)) method but not satisfied with. That why this post came out.

At this moment the conversion is done almost the same as Peter's codecs.decode() method but without the need of importing codecs module:-)

def to1byte(matchobj):
....return matchobj.group(0).encode().decode("unicode-escape")

I think it needs a built in viewer or at least a human readable output, or nobody will go through the trouble to use it.

Other that that, maybe a pretty good idea, sure
