Consider:
def fix_county_string(s):
""" Insert Docstring """
fp = open("michigan_COVID_08_24_21.txt", "r")
fp.readline()
for line in fp:
county = line[24:43]
x = county.split()
t = x.pop(-1)
s = x.append("County")
return s
fix_county_string(s)
The parameter is s, a string. Every county name ends with the places; if it correctly ends in places, do nothing (simply return s). Otherwise, correct the ending word to be place. Specifically, if not, fix it.
Use:
def fix_county_string():
""" Insert Docstring """
fp = open("michigan_COVID_08_24_21.txt", "r")
s = ''
for line in fp:
county = line[24:43]
x = county.split()
t = x.pop(-1)
x.append("County")
s += line + ' '.join(x)
return s
s = fix_county_string()
I think this is what you are trying to do. You can write back the output in a file.
I have had a look at answers to similar questions but I just can't make this work. I am quite new to python.

I'm unsure of what is actually causing the error
In the remove function, you have not defined set. So, python thinks it's the built-in object set, which is actually not subscriptable.
Pass your object to the remove function, and, preferably, give it another name.
Your remove function cant "see" your set variable (which is list, avoid using reserved words as variable name), because its not public, its defined only inside read function.
Define this variable before read function or send it as input to remove function, and it should be working.

Hello i have a that file:
WORKERS = yovel:10.0.0.6,james:10.0.0.7
BLACKLIST = 92.122.197.45:ynet,95.1.2.2:twitter
I'm trying to write a function in python that will get the worker IP and returns the worker name like this:
workername = getName(ip)
The only method i thougt to do it is with splits(using .split(":") , .split(",") etc.) but it will be very long code and not smart.
is there a shorter way to do it?
You can use re:
import re
def getName(ip, content = open('filename.txt').read()):
_r = re.findall('\w+(?=:{})'.format(ip), content)
return _r[0] if _r else None
print(getName('10.0.0.6'))
Output:
'yovel'
Note, however, it is slightly more robust to use split:
def getName(ip):
lines = dict(i.strip('\n').split(' = ') for i in open('filename.txt')]
d = {b:a for a, b in map(lambda x:x.split(':'), lines['WORKERS'].split(','))}
return d.get(ip)
Using split() doesn't look too bad here:
def getName(ip_address, filename='file.txt', line_type='WORKERS'):
with open(filename) as in_file:
for line in in_file:
name, info = [x.strip() for x in line.strip().split('=')]
if name == line_type:
info = [x.split(':') for x in info.split(',')]
lookup = {ip: name for name, ip in info}
return lookup.get(ip_address)
Which works as follows:
>>> getName('10.0.0.6')
'yovel'
Current program:
#!/usr/bin/python
lookup = 'Loop time'
with open('log.lammps') as myFile:
found = []
for num, line in enumerate(myFile, 1):
if lookup in line:
print 'found at line:', num
found.append(num)
print found
a = int(found[0])
b = int(found[1])
c = int(found[2])
d = int(found[3])
lookup = 'Memory usage per processor ='
with open('log.lammps') as myFile:
found2 = []
for num, line in enumerate(myFile, 1):
if lookup in line:
print 'found at line:', num
found2.append(num)
print found2
e = int(found2[0])
f = int(found2[1])
g = int(found2[2])
h = int(found2[3])
x = 0
while x < len(found):
a = found[x]
e = found2[x]
print "Some thing useful!"
for w,line in enumerate(open("log.lammps")):
if w >= e and w < a :
print line,
x += 1
How do i make it store the last while function into a document. I want to it make a file with the data that this program prints out so that I can have matlab read that file.
The easiest solution is to redirect the output to a file. Let script.py be your python script:
./script.py > out.txt
Otherwise you can redirect the stdout to a file directly in python.
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.stdout = open('out.txt', 'w')
lookup = 'Loop time'
...
Now every print statement will be redirected to out.txt
One very fast way is to replace sys.stdout with an open file descriptor.
f = open("file.txt","w")
old_stdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = f
while x < len(found):
a = found[x]
e = found2[x]
print "Some thing useful!"
for w,line in enumerate(open("log.lammps")):
if w >= e and w < a :
print line,
x += 1
sys.stdout = old_stdout
f.close()
This will automatically redirect anything you print to file.txt instead of stdout. It's also a little hackish, though. It would be a better idea just to open the write file and then replace print ... with f.write(...) wherever you see it, since you don't have any functions that do complex printing.
(I'm assuming you only want the last while loop written to a file, as your question stated.)
Open a file at the start and write the data as you go:
with open('output.txt',"w") as out:
Wherever you print data just write it to a file also:
print 'found at line: {}'.format(num)
out.write('found at line: {}\n'.format(num)) etc..
Just start your code like:
with open('output.txt',"w") as out:
with open('log.lammps') as myFile:
# continue with your code
The important thing about sys.stdout is that you have to import sys instead of from sys import stdout
i.e. this won't redirect your output to a file:
>>> from sys import stdout
>>> stdout = open('/dev/null', 'w')
>>> print 1
1 # not working
The task:
The firm I have gotten a summer-job for has an expanding test-database that consists of an increasing number of subfolders for each project, that includes everything from .jpeg files to the .xlsx's I am interested in. As I am a bit used to Python from earlier, I decided to give it a go at this task. I want to search for exceldocuments that has "test spreadsheet" as a part of its title(for example "test spreadsheet model259"). All the docs I am interested in are built the same way(weight is always "A3" etc), looking somewhat like this:
Model: 259
Lenght: meters 27
Weight: kg 2500
Speed: m/s 25
I want the user of the finished program to be able to compare results from different tests with each other using my script. This means that the script must see if there is an x-value that fits both criteria at once:
inputlength = x*length of model 259
inputweight = x*weight of model 259
The program should loop through all the files in the main folder. If such an X exists for a model, I want the program to return it to a list of fitting models. The x-value will be a variable, different for each model.
As the result I want a list of all files that fits the input, their scale(x-value) and possibly a link to the file.
For example:
Model scale Link
ModelA 21.1 link_to_fileA
ModelB 0.78 link_to_fileB
The script
The script I have tried to get to work so far is below, but if you have other suggestions of how to deal with the task I'll happily accept them. Don't be afraid to ask if I have not explained the task well enough. XLRD is already installed, and I use Eclipse as my IDE. I've been trying to get it to work in many ways now, so most of my script is purely for testing.

return file_list
file_list = excelfiles('*tst*') # only accept docs hwom title includes tst
print excelfiles()
How come I only get one result when I am printing excelfiles() after returning the values, but when I exchange "return os.path.join(filename)" with "print os.path.join(filename)" it shows all .xls files? Does this mean that the results from the excelfiles-function is not passed on? Answered in comments
''' Inputvals '''
inputweight = int(raw_input('legg inn vekt')) #inputbox for weight
inputlength = int(raw_input('legg inn lengd')) #inputbox for lenght
inputspeed = int(raw_input('legg inn hastighet')) #inputbox for speed
'''Location of each val from the excel spreadsheet'''
def locate_vals():
val_dict = {}
for filename in file_list:
wb = xlrd.open_workbook(os.path.join(start_dir, filename))
sheet = wb.sheet_by_index(0)
weightvalue = sheet.cell_value(1, 1)
lenghtvalue = sheet.cell_value(1, 1)
speedvalue = sheet.cell_value(1, 1)
val_dict[filename] = [weightvalue, lenghtvalue, speedvalue]
return val_dict
val_dict = locate_vals()
print locate_vals()
count = 0
Any ideas of how I can read from each of the documents found by the excelfiles-function? "funcdox" does not seem to work. When I insert a print-test, for example print weightvalue after the weightvalue = sheet.cell(3,3).value function, I get no feedback at all. Errormessages without the mentioned print-test:Edited to the script above, which creates a list of the different values + minor changes that removed the errormessages
Script works well until this point
Made some minor changes to the next part. It is supposed to scale an value from the spreadsheet by multiplying it with a constant (x1). Then I want the user to be able to define another inputvalue, which in turn defines another constant(x2) to make the spreadsheetvalue fit. Eventually, these constants will be compared to find which models will actually fit for the test.
'''Calculates vals from excel from the given dimensions'''
def dimension(): # Maybe exchange exec-statement with the function itself.
if count == 0:
if inputweight != 0:
exec scale_weight()
elif inputlenght != 0:
exec scale_lenght()
elif inputspeed != 0:
exec scale_speed()
def scale_weight(x1, x2): # Repeat for each value.
for weightvalue in locate_vals():
if count == 0:
x1 * weightvalue == inputweight
count += 1
exec criteria2
return weightvalue, x1
elif count == 2:
inputweight2 = int(raw_input('Insert weight')) #inputbox for weight
x2 * weightvalue == inputweight2
return weightvalue, x2
The x1 and x2 are what I want to find with this function, so I want them to be totally "free". Is there any way I can test this function without having to insert values for x1 and x2 ?
def scale_lenght(): # Almost identical to scale_weight
return
def scale_speed(): # Almost identical to scale_weight
return
def criteria2(weight, lenght, speed):
if count == 1:
k2 = raw_input('Criteria two, write weight, length or speed.')
if k2 == weight:
count += 1
exec scale_weight
elif k2 == lenght:
count += 1
exec scale_lenght
elif k2 == speed:
count += 1
exec scale_speed
else:
return
Do you see any easier way to deal with this problem?(Hope I managed to explain it well enough. The way I have written the code so far is quite messy, but since I'm not that experienced I'll just have to make it work first, and then clean it up if I have the time.
Since probably none of the values will exactly fit for both x-constants, I thought I'd use approx_Equal to deal with it:
def approx_Equal(x1, x2, tolerance=int(raw_input('Insert tolerance for scaling difference')),err_msg='Unacceptable tolerance', verbose = True ): # Gives the approximation for how close the two values of x must be for
if x1 == x2:
x = x1+ (x2-x1)/2
return x
Eventually, I'd like a diagram of all the variables used + a link-to-file and name for each document.
No sure how I will do this, so any tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
In answer to the first question "How come I only get one result when I am printing excelfiles()" this is because your return statement is within the nested loop, so the function will stop on the first iteration. I would try building up a list instead and then return this list, you could also combine this with the issue of checking the name e.g. :
import os, fnmatch
#globals
start_dir = os.getenv('md')
def excelfiles(pattern):
file_list = []
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(start_dir):
for filename in files:
if fnmatch.fnmatch(filename.lower(), pattern):
if filename.endswith(".xls") or filename.endswith(".xlsx") or filename.endswith(".xlsm"):
file_list.append(os.path.join(root, filename))
return file_list
file_list = excelfiles('*cd*')
for i in file_list: print i
Obviously, you'll need to replace the cd with your own search text, but keep the * either side and replace the start_dir with your own. I have done the match on filename.lower() and entered the search text in lower case to make the matching case in-sensitive, just remove the .lower() if you don't want this. I have also allowed for other types of Excel files.
Regarding reading data from Excel files I have done this before to create an automated way of converting basic Excel files into csv format. You are welcome to have a look at the code below and see if there is anything you can use from this. The xl_to_csv function is where the data is read from the Excel file:
import os, csv, sys, Tkinter, tkFileDialog as fd, xlrd
# stop tinker shell from opening as only needed for file dialog
root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.withdraw()

datetime_str = dd+'/'+mm+'/'+yyyy
else:

Let me know if you have any questions on this.
Finally, regarding the output I would consider writing this out to a html file in a table format. Let me know if you want any help with this, I will have some more sample code that you could use part of.
UPDATE
Here is some further advice on writing your output to a html file. Here is a function that I have written and used previously for this purpose. Let me know if you need any guidance on what you would need to change for your implementation (if anything). The function expects a nested object in the data argument e.g. a list of lists or list of tuples etc. but should work for any number of rows / columns:
def write_html_file(path, data, heads):
html = []
tab_attr = ' border="1" cellpadding="3" style="background-color:#FAFCFF; text-align:right"'
head_attr = ' style="background-color:#C0CFE2"'
# opening lines needed for html table
try:
html.append('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" ')
html.append('"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> ')
html.append('<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">')
html.append('<body>')
html.append(' <table'+tab_attr+'>')
except:
print 'Error setting up html heading data'
# html table headings (if required)
if headings_on:
try:
html.append(' <tr'+head_attr+'>')
for item in heads:
html.append(' '*6+'<th>'+str(item)+'</th>')
html.append(' </tr>')
except:
exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback = sys.exc_info()
lines = traceback.format_exception(exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback)
print 'Error writing html table headings:'
print ''.join('!! ' + line for line in lines)
# html table content
try:
for row in data:
html.append(' <tr>')
for item in row:
html.append(' '*6+'<td>'+str(item)+'</td>')
html.append(' </tr>')
except:
print 'Error writing body of html data'
# closing lines needed
try:
html.append(' </table>')
html.append('</body>')
html.append('</html>')
except:
print 'Error closing html data'
# write html data to file
fileout = open(path, 'w')
for line in html:
fileout.write(line)
print 'Data written to:', path, '\n'
if sql_path:
os.startfile(path)
else:
v_open = raw_input("Open file (Y/N):").upper()
if v_open == 'Y':
os.startfile(path)
headings_on is a global that I have set to True in my script, you will also need to import traceback for the error handling to work as it is currently specified.
