First off I have very little Python experience and don't understand much about the terminology. Secondly I have never had to use a file path in Python before and therefore related terminology and methods may need to be explained (or have an easy to understand link, that isn't too strong in pythonic terminology like the Python Docs are).
I'm using modular programming and my functions are separate into three different files all in one file on my desktop C:\Users\User\Desktop\Folder_name\file1.py.
I plan on using all of the functions within and as such would like it to work similar to import random.
The problem is your python file doesn't appear in python search path.
A few ways to solve.
As #Jeff says:
import os
path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
sys.path.append(path)
this one will add the current file's directory to the search path in the current run context. With these lines in file /path/b.py, you can use /path/a.py or any python program in /path/.
Using IDEs function for it. Just run it from your IDE, they will fill the path.
Put your python file into any search path directory. This fulfiil your demand that using all of the functions within and as such would like it to work similar to import random. However it will make you running environment dirty. Better to use virtualenv.
If the dependent modules are in the same folder as the script you are executing:
import os
path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
sys.path.append(path)
If they're in a different spot you can just specify path to something manually, but you should try to make it robust to moving around by defining the path in relation to where you execute from.

I think this is more of a Tcl configuration question rather than a Tcl coding question...
I inherited a whole series of Tcl scripts that are used within a simulation tool that my company built in-house. In my scripts, I'm finding numerous instances where there are function calls to functions that don't seem to be declared anywhere. How can I trace the path to these phantom functions?
For example, rather than use source, someone build a custom include function that they named INCLUDE. Tclsh obviously balks when I try to run it there, but with my simulation software, it runs fine.
I've tried grep-ing through the entire simulation software for INCLUDE, but I'm not having any luck. Are there any other obvious locations outside the simulation software where a Tcl function might be defined?
The possibilities:
Within your software. (you have checked for this).
Within some other package included by the software.
Check and see if the environment variable TCLLIBPATH is set.
Also check and see if the simulation software sets TCLLIBPATH.
This will be a list of directories to search for Tcl packages, and you
will need to search the packages that are located outside of the
main source tree.
Another possibility is that the locations are specified in the pkgIndex.tcl file.
Check any pkgIndex.tcl files and look for locations outside the main source tree.
Within an unknown command handler. This could be in
your software or within some other package. You should be able to find
some code that processes the INCLUDE statement.
Within a binary package. These are shared libraries that are loaded
by Tcl. If this is the case, there should be some C code used to
build the shared library that can be searched.
Since you say there are numerous instances of unknown functions, my first
guess is that you have
not found all the directories where packages are loaded from. But an
''unknown'' command handler is also a possibility.
Edit:
One more possibility I forgot. Check and see if your software sets the auto_path variable. Check any directories added to the auto_path for
other packages.
This isn't a great answer for you, but I suspect it is the best you're going to get...
The procedure could be defined in a great many places. Your best bet for finding it is to use a tool like findstr (on Windows) or grep -R (on POSIX platforms) to search across all the relevant source files. But that still might not help! It might not be a procedure but instead a general command, which could be implemented in C and not as a procedure, or it could be defined in a packaged application archive (which are usually awkward to look inside). There are also other types of script-implemented command too, which could make things awkward. Generally searching and investigating is your best bet, but it might not work.
Tcl doesn't really differentiate strongly between different types of command except in some introspection operations. If you're lucky, you could find that info body tells you the definition of the procedure (and info args and info default tell you about the arguments) but that won't help with other command types at all. Tcl 8.7 will include a command (info cmdtype) that would help a lot with narrowing down what to do next, but that's no use to you now and it definitely doesn't exist in older versions.
I want to edit find_under_expand (ctrl+d) to consider hyphenated words, as single words. So when I try to replace all instance of var a, it shouldn't match substrings of "a" in words like a-b, which it currently does.
I'm assuming find_under_expand wraps your current selection in regex boundaries like this: \ba\b
I need it to wrap in something like this: \b(?<!-)a(?!-)\b
Is the find_under_expand command's source available to edit? Or do I have to rewrite the whole thing? I'm not sure where to begin.
Sublime's commands are implemented in one of several ways: as macros, as plugins, and internally as part of the compiled program (probably as C++). The default macros and plugins can be found in the Packages/Default directory in ST2 (where Packages is the directory opened when selecting Preferences -> Browse Packages...), or zipped in the Installed Packages/Default.sublime-package file in ST3, extractable using #skuroda's excellent PackageResourceViewer plugin, available via Package Control. Macros have .sublime-macro extensions, while plugins are written in Python and have .py extensions.
I searched all through the Defaults package in ST3 (things are generally the same as in ST2), and was unable to find a macro or .py file that included the find_under_expand command, or FindUnderExpand, which is the convention when naming command classes in plugins. Therefore, I strongly suspect that this command is internal to Sublime, probably written in C++ and linked into the executable or in a .dll|.dylib|.so library.
So, it doesn't look like there's an existing file that you could easily modify to adjust for your negative lookahead/lookbehind patterns (I assume that's what those are, my regex is a bit rusty...). Instead, you'll have to implement your own plugin from scratch that reads the "word_separators" value in your settings file, which the current implementation of find_under_expand doesn't seem to be doing, judging from your previous question and my own testing. Theoretically, this shouldn't be too terribly difficult - you can just open up a quick panel where the user enters the pattern/regex to be searched for, and you can just iterate through the current view looking for matches and highlighting/selecting them.
Good luck!
I have a parameter and, on F4, we can choose the directory. I'm trying to figure out how to choose a folder and read the content of all the files in it (the files are in .CSV) to an internal table. I think I have to use TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES function. Hope I'm explaining myself. Thank you.
You'll have to do this manually: first read the list of files, the go through each file and process its contents. There may be some odd function modules to read CSV files, but be aware that many of them are broken - for example, they just clip the lines that exceed a certain length. Therefore I won't recommend any of them - personally, I'd implement the CSV import part myself.
If you have access to the transaction KCLJ in your system you could analyze the coding behind it. This tool has an option to interpret CSV files so you might find interesting function modules that might help you with your tasks.
EDIT: I looked at it very quickly and the piece of coding you could reuse is reconvert_format from include RKCDFILEINCFOR. An example how to call it is located starting from line 128 in the same include.
I'm trying to translating the MySql C connector 6.02 headers to D, but I get some weird crashes.
My guess is I've made some mistakes on translating the structs or function (I'm not very good at C).
I used implib /system on the libmysql.dll to create a lib file.
I couldn't get htod.exe to work. Using -hs (include system files) complained it couldn't find system files.
Coffimplib.exe didn't have an option to prepend _ to exported internal names.
I couldn't find a free version of coff2omf.
mysql.d is the wrapper. I've included the C definition before each wrapped definition to easier spot bugs. The file includes the mysql dll and converted libfile too.
When compiling mytest_fails.d it crashes. mytest_works.d only has an assert, and this makes it work.. Compiling mytest_works with -release makes it crash too.
I've been using dmd 2.051
Download mytest.zip from share1t.com
Update: I've also asked some question regarding this on the D.learn newsgroup, but I don't think anyone has gone through the code.
C Const
Compiler extensions
Connot get htod.exe to work
The weird crashes
stdcall is a Windows function calling convention (very different from the C calling convention). HTOD failed to mark several functions with extern(Windows). This is normal, since HTOD isn't equipped to handle macros (STDCALL is defined as a macro, I can see that from the leftover comments in msyql.d).
Here's an updated mysql.d file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9218759/mysql.d
Now, you need the proper import library in OMF format. I'd generally advise that you do not use implib for this. I've had several problems with it and others have reported having problems using it. Using coffimplib is the way to go. But first, you will need a COFF import library.
If you need it, the Mysql release with the COFF import library can be downloaded from here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=377977#mirrors (Libraries in DLL form marked for Visual Studio usually come with a COFF import library).
But I'm providing you the translated COFF import library in OMF format here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9218759/libmysql.lib
I've tried both of your test cases and they both seem to work fine now. In case of problems, try to check the translated header file again (mysql.d), it's possible that I might have missed to specify all the calling conventions properly.
I am tasked with supportting a run script that uses environment variables to determine which tools to use, which directories to grab source files from, etc. This does not seem like the best technique to me. It seems like it would be much better to have configuration files that set all these things and have the run script parse this instead of relying on environment variables. For one thing it would allow others to run your tests ver easily (just point to the config file) and less prone to errors (environment variables getting contaminated) and easier to debug. I thought I had also read somewhere that best practices was to use an explict config file for these types of things.
I just wanted to get everyones thoughts on this.
Yes, it's often helpful to keep config separate from code (although I've seen this taken to ridiculous extremes with either too many "configurables", or long chains of dependent config files where one or two be fine).
One simple step could be moving the environment variables into a separate file and have the original script "source" the new file (which effectively becomes your "config file") - minimal changes and no additional parsing required.
