In Japan a Christmas day is not a holiday but the New Year's day takes the role, like people gathering at their grandma's house and having a big dinner. Today is my last working day this year. I'm going to go to my parents' house and get scratches on my wrists (*).
I wish you a Merry Christmas.
(*)This one scratches.

Early Preview
What I've been making. Written in pure Python (and wx). Currently it's working only on Linux. I'm also making windows version but it's still quite buggy.
Finding missing files in a sequence.
Fancy template
Image node
List union/intersection node
Macro example
union/intersection node code
Opens every files in a directory, replaces every occurrence of string ".jpg" to ".png", save it to the same file.
System command example.
directory node outputs a list of containing files,
getElement takes list and outputs the elements one by one,
systemCommand executes it, outputs the result

Real World Haskell
Several month ago I wanted to learn a functional programming and chose Emacs Lisp as a language (see the results A and B), but ELisp was not a good language for me to learn it since I can write any script procedurally. When I said I like languages which are simple and elegant and easy to read, a guy working with me recommended OCaml but it's not good to learn a functional programming with a language that supports procedural way of programming for a lazy man like me. So I chose Haskell. It is used at my workplace so learning it is also practical. I looked at several haskell tuts on the web and found Real World Haskell to be the easiest to read. So far I'm enjoying it but I don't know if I can finish it since priority of learning a functional programming is still not high.
Note: Real World Haskell seems to expect the readers should have a basic knoledge of Python and C.

Cross platform editor written in Python
http://editra.org/
It's written in Python, It seems to have all the features of wx.STC, multi-lingualized, it has launchers, and it comes with so many lexers 68k assembly, Apache conf, Haskell, LaTex, Lisp, Lua, Matlab, R, Objective-C, VHDL, YAML, ... ofcourse Python.
It's still version 0.5 but looks promising.

PyQt is nice
I started using PyQt. It's so nice. Unlike Qt, you don't have to worry about Qt specific stuff, qmake, .pro, moc, etc. I started off by converting several examples that come with Qt. I realized I could convert a Qt code to a PyQt script half automatically. I've converted some of WebKit examples and there was almost no difficulty, though it took a little bit of time to be able to call a slot in PyQt script from JavaScript, until I read this (french!) and found @QtCore.pyqtSlot works.
Ah, and Qt Designer is very nice :)

What every programmer should know about memory
I started reading What every programmer should know about memory.
It's much more advanced than "L2 cache is 10 times faster than memory access" stuff.

Fascinated in Qt
I just read some about Qt and soon started fascinated in it. Since the main part of Qt is GUI framework the functionalities Qt offers are roughly the same as wx, if there is on in wx, there's an equivalent in qt (roughly, again). What I am interested is its direct use of C++ methods in a simple and flexible way. wx has event objects, multiple 'bind' types and multiple macros to bind events to callbacks. Qt does it in only two macros, signal, slot, and one method QObject::connect(). It is easy to connect a single event to multiple callbacks, multiple events to a single callback, the programmer doesn't have to be aware of thread, It's so flexible that it can be used in many ways. I looked at Qt WebKit API and found Qt has excellently integrated WebKit, which would have been very difficult if there was no signal-slot mechanism flexibility. Since it doesn't restrict the number and types of arguments of the callbacks, it can be well used for callback type network programming.
I think there's one minor drawback. In wx, what and when wx emits an event is usually explicit in the document. In Qt, the user can easily emits an event so it is not as easy as wx (it's a trade-off). It is also explicit for the events Qt itself emits, but the information is scattered in the document. In wx there's little chance to miss an event type and timing being emit once you get used to reading the document. (if not, read through Event handling overview (Don't miss the difference of event propagation mechanism between command events and other) then 'Events' section of Classes by category. See what kind of events there are in wx, then read the 'Event handling' section of the document of specific window you use, such as wxTextCtrl.)

Not a nice way to interrupt a sub thread
In my application, the main thread in in charge of UI drawing with wxPython and starting worker threads which runs user defined Python code. If a user defined Python code is buggy the application user needs to stop it. There's a way to raise a KeyboardInterrupt exception in the main thread but unfortunately not the opposite. What I needed to do is interrupting a sub thread from the main thread. I don't know why it doesn't exist. Probably it is a well considered decision but what I need is what Python misses. The API provides a function PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc() which takes a thread id and exception object and raises exception in the thread. So I had to make a wrapper extension.
pySubthreadInterruptTest.c
#include <Python.h>
static PyObject* interrupt(PyObject* self, PyObject* args)
{
long threadid;
PyObject* po_exception;
if(! PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "lO", &threadid, &po_exception))
{
return NULL;
}
int result = PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(threadid, po_exception);
return Py_BuildValue("l", result);
}
static PyMethodDef MethodsDefs[] = {
{"interrupt", interrupt, METH_VARARGS},
{NULL, NULL, 0},
};
void initpystit(void){
(void) Py_InitModule("pystit", MethodsDefs);
}
setup.py
from distutils.core import setup, Extension
module1 = Extension('pystit',
sources = ['pySubthreadInterruptTest.c'])
setup (name = 'PackageName',
version = '1.0',
description = 'This is a demo package',
ext_modules = [module1])
test.py
import time, thread
import pystit
def f():
print 'thread start'
try:
for i in range(1000):
print i
time.sleep(0.001)
except:
print 'interrupted'
raise
print 'thread end'
tid = thread.start_new_thread(f, ())
time.sleep(0.001)
pystit.interrupt(tid, ValueError)
time.sleep(1)
$ python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'pystit' extension
gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/pySubthreadInterruptTest.o -L/usr/lib -lpython2.6 -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/pystit.so
$ cd build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/
$ ls
pystit.so test.py
$ python test.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

It works but I can't say I'm quite satisfied with the solution.

Highlevel Mouse Event Converter (wxPython)
I really needed to make a good one (not a school assignment :) that convers lowlevel mouse events to highlevel ones. When the user left double clicks on a window, the window gets leftdown, leftup, leftdoubleclick, leftup events in this order. It is too low level. In this case all we want is a single double click event.
- A double click event doesn't come with friends.
- Whenever a mouse down event comes, the application can except a following mouse up event (it may be after dragging event stuff or enter/leave window event).
- A series of dragging events are always wrapped by a startdragging and an enddragging event.
- Capture mouse automatically. (See the comment in onButtonDown() method)
- Can set threshold in pixels so that anybody can double click with his trembling hand (e.g. my dad's)
BUG
While dragging, EnterWindow/LeaveWindow occurs when the mouse enter/leaves the parent window on GTK+.
UPDATES
Jul 29: Passing proper event object to mouse down/up handlers.
Jul 31: Get the right mouse position while mouse captured.
Aug 5 : Fixed missing double click detection failure.

Click selecting a curve
I wanted a nice connection arrow for my app, not just a concatenation of lines like
Recently wxWidgets got cairo and wxPython got it accordingly. Using wxcairo (wx.lib.wxcairo) I could draw a nice line of connection like this.
But there was one problem, in my app, the user needs to be able to select the connection by clicking it. How can I detect if the mouse point is on a connection? I need to calculate the length between the line and the point. cairo uses 3rd order bezier curve. To get the parameter t of the bezier curve that gives the closest point on the curve to the mouse point, I need to differentiate the distance and solve the equation of t (or I can get the condition that on the closest point the tangent vector and the vector towards the mouse point makes the right angle. It should produce the same result). The problem is, the equation is 5th order and I cannot solve it. I thought if I should use numerical calculation but still the calculation cost is too expensive. So I decided to use linear interpolation. It's good as long as the user doesn't recognize the error. I can use bounding box and it won't be time consuming. Finally I decided to divide the curve where t = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1. It should be enough just for a GUI program.
These are several tests.
Divide the curve in 3, 5, 8, and 10

Evolution Reel
Evolution Reel
From the site:
Most people want to see how a professional animator struggles... well here's the reel for you. A playblast of my progress on a shot at the end of each production day.
From the video:
ICE AGE DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS is property of Fox and Blue Sky Studios
The following is for educational purposes only. The reel demonstrates the entire process of completing a production shot from the rough poses to blocking, splining, and polish. The shot was created working 7 days a week during "crunch." Some days represent 16 hour workdays while others are only 3 hours on a Sunday.

Task Dependency Diagram
When I make a relatively large scale system (here relatively large means something that takes more than one month to develop), I make a task dependency diagram like this.
Blue ones are tasks that has been done, whites are not, greens are milestones, usually tests. And I put a small icon that indicates what task I'm currently doing.
During the last project I drew it on an A3 paper and put it on the wall so that everybody could see what he was doing in the overall project picture and how one's work was related to others (each had an animal shaped magnet, I was monky ;). I did it so that nobody would feel as if he was a cog by showing the goal and having people recognize it was a team work but it was also good for a communication tool.
This task (pointing at a task) needs some try and error and he may need more time than expected, so after you have done your current work you jump here (pointing at a task) to prepare for it before he finishes this one (pointing at a task) and comes here (pointing at a task).
It really works.

A module file can be loaded twice as two different modules (in Python 2.x)
I'll show you a case where one file (mymodule.py) gets loaded twice as two different modules. I'm sure this is trivial to some people, if you know how to do this, you don't have to read the rest of this entry. I will write it anyway hoping it will help somebody since it could bring a huge confusion if he doesn't know why it happens (huge confusion, according to my experience).
Modules and packages in directories found in sys.path are called toplevel. Those which are not in the directories found in sys.path but in a package are still accessible but not toplevel.
Say you have a package named mypackage in a directory you can find in the PYTHONPATH, and it has a module mymodule. My package is a toplevel and mymodule is not.
$ pwd /home/kotamura/mytest $ echo $PYTHONPATH /home/kotamura/mytest/mytoplevel $ tree mytoplevel/ mytoplevel/ `-- mypackage |-- __init__.py `-- mymodule.pyLet's run Python interactively.
$ python Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Jun 8 2009, 16:07:26) [GCC 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import mypackage.mymodule as mm >>> mm.__name__ 'mypackage.mymodule'You can see the module is not a toplevel from its name (it's under mypackage.)
Go down the directories and do it again.
$ python Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Jun 8 2009, 16:07:26) [GCC 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import mypackage.mymodule as mm >>> mm.__name__ 'mypackage.mymodule'
It's not surprising at all. But you can also import mymodule
>>> import mymodule as m >>> m.__name__ 'mymodule'
Now mymodule is toplevel!, This is because if you run Python interactively Python adds the current directory to sys.path. What is important is that mm and m are different objects even if it is created from the same file mymodule.py
>>> mm.a = 1 >>> m.a = 2 >>> mm.a 1 >>> mm is m False
It's not the case you will see only when you use interactive console. The same thing happens when you import a module from another module without specifying it from the toplevel.
$ cat weirdImporter.py import mypackage.mymodule as mm import mymodule as m print mm.__name__ print m.__name__
You don't have to be in the directory to run weirdImporter.py. You can run it from anywhere
$ python /home/kotamura/mytest/mytoplevel/mypackage/weirdImporter.py mypackage.mymodule mymodule
Again mymodule.pygot imported twice.
import mymodule as m
Python lets weirdImporter import mymodule because it is in the same directory, and since weirdImporter runs in the __main__ module (not mypackage.weirdImporter I mean), it imports mymodule as a toplevel. While
import mypackage.mymodule as mm
imports the mymoduel.py as mypackage.mymodule. So they are different.
A solution many people recommend is that you always import a package/module specicfying the path from the toplevel. It will solve every problem. You can also use "relative import" first introduced in Python2.5 but it brings another confusion until you get used to it.
Finally, Python3.x doesn't let weirdImporter import mymoduel.py only because it's in the same directory. But you still need to be careful not to have the same file be imported more than once from multiple toplevels. Don't forget executing 'python /path/to/foo.py' adds /path/to directory to sys.path.

wx.MiniPanel
While I was browsing wxPython demo, I found a really nifty window called wx.MiniFrame.
I thought it was nice for my app but soon realized it's wx.Frame. I wanted it inside my application to draw a graph. I didn't want one of my nodes to travel outside my application window and join Firefox, so I decided to make a similar one as a panel.
Can you see which one is MiniFrame and which is MiniPanel?
One that cannot' be outside the application window is MiniPanel!
(well, anybody talked about close but something? I don't know... (works on Windows))
I haven't finished minor tunings, e.g. the title is embedded in the code, but it's already resizable.

Writing a technical document
When I write a technical document, I try to be careful to keep three things.
1) Do not use the term that hasn't been explained in the earlier pages.
I think this is a basic rule that every document must keep, but lots of them break it. I once read a document about a Python framework which uses a term "jelly" (is that case, it used the term in method names) with no explanation beforehand. It took me a long time until I know its meaning. I hoped if the writer had added just one line saying "jelly means serialize". (although the framework itself is very useful. Lots of its terms are named after a sandwich. You guess what it is? ;).
2) Do not try to explain two things at a time.
Human brains are not designed to think about two things at a time. When you explain recursive function call, don't take mandelbrot as an example. Think about an average reader and take an example that most reader is supposed to know.
3) "Make a list of stuffs to write, think about the explanation flow of the document".
I usually make a graph for 1) and 3), which has a set of circles, each circle contains one element of the list , and dependencies as arrows between the circles.

Emacs To Maya for Python Scripts
I modified the original Emacs To Maya by slavomir.kaslev.
Feb. 13, 2011.
Sending a command through file is a spec, not cutting corners. Due to Maya command port limitation we need to make a command small enough to have it within one packet (I don't know if the limitation still exisits in Maya 2011, anyone knows it?).
Feb. 6, 2011.
When I posted this entry two years ago, I emailed Slavomir and he replied
I am very happy that you find etom.el usefull. Etom.el is free
software, so you can do whatever you want with it to suit your needs.
so you can feel free to use this patch. Still please keep in mind that this is GPL licenced.
Jan. 23, 2011.
If you get error regarding replace-in-string, it's probably due to missing function on your emacs. you can find a replace-in-string implementation in find-files.el module, made by Robert Fenk.
And on Windows Vista,
commandPort -eo -n ":2222";
doesn't work. Execute
commandPort -eo -n "127.0.0.1:2222";
Tnanks Hajime!

Emacs To Maya
I started using Emacs To Maya.
Now modifying it to send Python scripts (Half done, thinking about how to get the value printed in the command history).
Ah, I added the following script to .emacs before
(add-hook
'mel-mode-hook ...
to avoid
Symbol's function definition is void: replace-in-string
error.
(if (not (fboundp 'replace-in-string))
(defun replace-in-string (string regexp replacement &optional literal)
"Replace regex in string with replacement"
(replace-regexp-in-string regexp replacement string t literal)))
(got it here)
For those who has seen the same error.
Recursive directory search configuration for anything.el
Continued from the previous entry.
If the selected document is html (".html" or ".htm" case insensitive) it opens the document with w3m in a new frame, otherwise it just opens it normally as a text file in the current frame.

anything.el for Maya document (continued)
For those who uses emacs for Maya programming :)
Internally it uses "find". It is not limited to Maya documents. you can search for documents in any directory (and its sub directories recursively).
Usage:
Type META-; (I made a shortcut that searches only Maya API documents)
See the movie in another blog entry.
Installation:
1) If you haven't installed anything.el install it.
2) Install w3m web browser for Emacs. I just executed
sudo yum install w3m-el
3) Add hohe2-anything-find.el in any directory.
4) Add this line to .emacs, (unless the directory path has been added already)
5) Add the following script to your .emacs file. (Change the paths to the document directories).
(add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/directory")
6) Restart Emacs.
;;Additional anything config for Maya.
(hohe2-register-c-source-find
'hohe2-anything-c-source-find-mayaapi "Maya API" "/usr/autodesk/maya/docs/Maya8.5/en_US/API" 2)

(defun hohe2-anything-alternative ()

(global-set-key (kbd "M-;") 'hohe2-anything-alternative)
7) Enjoy programming if it works.

Currently it assumes every document is HTML. I will modify the script so that it looks at the file extension to know how to open the file soon(er or later). If you modify part of the above code like this it opens the file as a text by default.
June 28 added. Done.
