I've been trying to make my first program in Python 3 with Ncurses and I'm stuck trying to figure out this syntax error. I'm trying to build the ncurses menu topbar menu and I'm getting the following error;
s.refresh() c = s.getch()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I've been trying learn off from here http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-python6/#h3 but I cannot figure out why I'm getting syntax error with this. It happens with both Python 3.4.0 and Python 2.7.6 when I test it out. Also the menu's aren't rendering when I do go to test it out. I get nothing displaying at all. I'm just trying to make a simple program with very basic functions, nothing too special.
The problem is this piece of ncurses code when I try to add it to my own python script
def file_func():
s = curses.newwin(5,10,2,1)
s.box()
s.addstr(1,2, "I", hotkey_attr)
s.addstr(1,3, "nput", menu_attr)
s.addstr(2,2, "O", hotkey_attr)
s.addstr(2,3, "utput", menu_attr)
s.addstr(3,2, "T", hotkey_attr)
s.addstr(3,3, "ype", menu_attr)
s.addstr(1,2, "", hotkey_attr)
s.refresh() c = s.getch()
if c in (ord('I'), ord('i'), curses.KEY_ENTER, 10):
curses.echo()
s.erase()
screen.addstr(5,33, " "*43, curses.A_UNDERLINE)
cfg_dict['source'] = screen.getstr(5,33)
curses.noecho()
else:
curses.beep()
s.erase()
return CONTINUE
Here's what the current output looks like before trying to add the menu, before I got syntax error on the above code example at s.refresh() c = s.getch() line.
The is first time trying something like this in Python3 and Ncurses, I wanted to give it a go to see what I can do to make a simple functional program. ALso I'm not too sure how to customize the output more with Ncurses, I did want to change the colors and put a background fill to the boxed window it created, but not too sure on that, the tutorials I've read don't make it too clear on how to implement this into Python. Not too sure if I can just bundle it all into one script which is the main idea approach to this.
The problem is with this line:
s.refresh() c = s.getch()
You cannot place an assignment statement on the same line as a function call like you are doing. You need to use a semicolon to separate the lines:
s.refresh(); c = s.getch()
# ^
Note however that many Python programmers find the use of semicolons inelegant. It would be better to just use two lines:
s.refresh()
c = s.getch()

I was faced with a very strange problem.
With print() this code works.
def max_pairwise_product(numbers):
max_1 = max(numbers)
numbers.remove(max_1)
max_2 = max(numbers)
return max_1 * max_2
if __name__ == '__main__':
input_n = int(input())
print() # <- comment of this line breaks the code
input_numbers = [int(x) for x in input().split()]
print(max_pairwise_product(input_numbers))
If I comment or delete the 10-th line with print() I got an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\...\maximum_pairwise_product_fast.py", line 12, in <module>
print(max_pairwise_product(input_numbers))
File "C:\Users\...\maximum_pairwise_product_fast.py", line 2, in max_pairwise_product
max_1 = max(numbers)
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence*
Process finished with exit code 1
I use Python 3.9. PyCharm.
I tried to launch with different virtual environments with Python 3.8 and 3.10 – the same error.
When I launch in Jupyter and Colab – it is fane – no error.
There are no issues with any other Python script. I used the installation for several months and there was nothing strange.
It is so strange that I have no idea. Could you please help me?
Try checking if your python interpreter is working correctly and is the latest python
It might fix it or there's probably a problem with your ide.
Thank you all for helping to refer me in the right direction.
The reason for the error was a bug in PyCharm. It sent not was typed. The issue disappeared after the PyCharm update from version 2022.1.1 to 2022.1.2.
Back in 2018 or so, I found a similar strange issue in a Python program I downloaded that solved Rubik's cubes. Basically, the program ran just fine under Linux, but under Windows it was erroring out at a certain line that looked fine.
I ran "pyflakes" on that program, but pyflakes reported that nothing was wrong. Odd.
The line that supposedly contained the error was a list comprehension, much like your line here:
input_numbers = [int(x) for x in input().split()]
I replaced the list comprehension with a normal for-loop, and then the code ran fine with no errors. Basically, if I were to rewrite your line, I would replace it with the following four lines:
input_numbers = []
for x in input().split():
input_numbers.append(int(x))
assert input_numbers, "input_numbers is empty!"
I have no idea why the error was happening in the first place, and only on Windows. (The version of Python3 I was using certainly supported list comprehensions; I checked.) But once I replaced the list comprehensions with a for-loop, the code worked.
So my advice is to replace your list-comprehension with a for-loop and see if that solves anything.
I don't know if that will work, but it's worth a shot, as it seems that your input_numbers list is not actually being populated before it's passed to max_pairwise_product().
You might even try putting the assert statement:
assert input_numbers, "input_numbers is empty!"
after the list comprehension to verify that input_numbers is truly being populated. If it's not, then you at least have narrowed down your problem, and will now have to figure out why it's not being populated.
P.S. I'm curious: Which operating system(s) does the error happen on?
P.P.S. I recommend adding input text to your input() calls (such as input("Type some space-separated numbers: "), even if just for posting here. Otherwise, when stackoverflow users run your code, it looks like your code is hanging.
I am using PyObjC bindings to try to get a spoken sound file from phonemes.
I figured out that I can turn speech into sound as follows:
import AppKit
ss = AppKit.NSSpeechSynthesizer.alloc().init()
ss.setVoice_('com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.Alex')
ss.startSpeakingString_toURL_("Hello", AppKit.NSURL.fileURLWithPath_("hello.aiff"))
# then wait until ve.isSpeaking() returns False
Next for greater control I'd like to turn the text first into phonemes, and then speak them.
phonemes = ss.phonemesFromText_("Hello")
But now I'm stuck, because I know from the docs that to get startSpeakingString to accept phonemes as input, you first need to set NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey.Mode to "phoneme". And I think I'm supposed to use setObject_forProperty_error_ to set that.
There are two things I don't understand:
Where is NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey.Mode in PyObjC? I grepped the entire PyObjC directory and SpeechPropertyKey is not mentioned anywhere.
How do I use setObject_forProperty_error_ to set it? I think based on the docs that the first argument is the value to set (although it's called just "an object", so True in this case?), and the second is the key (would be phoneme in this case?), and finally there is an error callback. But I'm not sure how I'd pass those arguments in Python.
Where is NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey.Mode in PyObjC?
Nowhere.
How do I use setObject_forProperty_error_ to set it?
ss.setObject_forProperty_error_("PHON", "inpt", None)
"PHON" is the same as NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey.Mode.phoneme
"inpt" is the same as NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey.inputMode
It seems these are not defined anywhere in PyObjC, but I found them by firing up XCode and writing a short Swift snippet:
import Foundation
import AppKit
let synth = NSSpeechSynthesizer()
let x = NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey.Mode.phoneme
let y = NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey.inputMode
Now looking at x and y in the debugger show that they are the strings mentioned above.
As for how to call setObject_forProperty_error_, I simply tried passing in those strings and None as the error handler, and that worked.
I'm getting used to VSCode in my daily Data Science remote workflow due to LiveShare feature.
So, upon executing functions it just executes the first line of code; if I mark the whole region then it does work, but it's cumbersome way of dealing with the issue.
I tried number of extensions, but none of them seem to solve the problem.
def gini_normalized(test, pred):
"""Simple normalized Gini based on Scikit-Learn's roc_auc_score"""
gini = lambda a, p: 2 * roc_auc_score(a, p) - 1
return gini(test, pred)
Executing the beginning of the function results in error:
def gini_normalized(test, pred):...
File "", line 1
def gini_normalized(test, pred):
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
There's a solution for PyCharm: Python Smart Execute - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11945-python-smart-execute. Also Atom's Hydrogen doesn't have such issue either.
Any ideas regarding VSCode?
Thanks!
I'm a developer on the VSCode DataScience features. Just to make sure that I'm understanding correctly. You would like the shift-enter command to send the entire function to the Interactive Window if you run it on the definition of the function?
If so, then yes, we don't currently support that. Shift-enter can run line by line or run a section of code that you manually highlight. If you want, you can use #%% lines in your code to put functions into code cells. Then when you are in a cell shift-enter will run that entire cell, might be the best current approach for you.
That smart execute does look interesting, if you would like to file that as a suggestion you can use our GitHub here to get it on our backlog to look at.

Hi you could click the symbol before each line and turn it into > (the indented codes of the function was hidden now). Then if you select the whole line and the next line, shift+enter could run them together.

Morning folks,
I'm trying to get a few unit tests going in Python to confirm my code is working, but I'm having a real hard time getting a Mock anything to fit into my test cases. I'm new to Python unit testing, so this has been a trying week thus far.
The summary of the program is I'm attempting to do serial control of a commercial monitor I got my hands on and I thought I'd use it as a chance to finally use Python for something rather than just falling back on one of the other languages I know. I've got pyserial going, but before I start shoving a ton of commands out to the TV I'd like to learn the unittest part so I can write for my expected outputs and inputs.
I've tried using a library called dummyserial, but it didn't seem to be recognising the output I was sending. I thought I'd give mock_open a try as I've seen it works like a standard IO as well, but it just isn't picking up on the calls either. Samples of the code involved:
def testSendCmd(self):
powerCheck = '{0}{1:>4}\r'.format(SharpCodes['POWER'], SharpCodes['CHECK']).encode('utf-8')
read_text = 'Stuff\r'
mo = mock_open(read_data=read_text)
mo.in_waiting = len(read_text)
with patch('__main__.open', mo):
with open('./serial', 'a+b') as com:
tv = SharpTV(com=com, TVID=999, tvInput = 'DVI')
tv.sendCmd(SharpCodes['POWER'], SharpCodes['CHECK'])
com.write(b'some junk')
print(mo.mock_calls)
mo().write.assert_called_with('{0}{1:>4}\r'.format(SharpCodes['POWER'], SharpCodes['CHECK']).encode('utf-8'))
And in the SharpTV class, the function in question:
def sendCmd(self, type, msg):
sent = self.com.write('{0}{1:>4}\r'.format(type,msg).encode('utf-8'))
print('{0}{1:>4}\r'.format(type,msg).encode('utf-8'))
Obviously, I'm attempting to control a Sharp TV. I know the commands are correct, that isn't the issue. The issue is just the testing. According to documentation on the mock_open page, calling mo.mock_calls should return some data that a call was made, but I'm getting just an empty set of []'s even in spite of the blatantly wrong com.write(b'some junk'), and mo().write.assert_called_with(...) is returning with an assert error because it isn't detecting the write from within sendCmd. What's really bothering me is I can do the examples from the mock_open section in interactive mode and it works as expected.
I'm missing something, I just don't know what. I'd like help getting either dummyserial working, or mock_open.
To answer one part of my question, I figured out the functionality of dummyserial. The following works now:
def testSendCmd(self):
powerCheck = '{0}{1:>4}\r'.format(SharpCodes['POWER'], SharpCodes['CHECK'])
com = dummyserial.Serial(
port='COM1',
baudrate=9600,
ds_responses={powerCheck : powerCheck}
)
tv = SharpTV(com=com, TVID=999, tvInput = 'DVI')
tv.sendCmd(SharpCodes['POWER'], SharpCodes['CHECK'])
self.assertEqual(tv.recv(), powerCheck)
Previously I was encoding the dictionary values as utf-8. The dummyserial library decodes whatever you write(...) to it so it's a straight string vs. string comparison. It also encodes whatever you're read()ing as latin1 on the way back out.
I keep trying to run this function:
def flipPic():
#Set up source picture
barbf=getMediaPath("barbara.jpg")
barb=makePicture(barbf)
#Now, for the mirroring
mirrorPoint=219
for X in range(0,mirrorPoint):
for Y in range(0,291):
pleft=getPixel(barb,X,Y)
pright=getPixel(barb,Y,mirrorPoint + mirrorPoint - 1 - X)
setColor(pright,(getColor(pleft)))
show(barb)
return(barb)
However, an error comes up on this line:
barb=makePicture(barbf)
It says:
Inappropriate argument value (of correct type).
An error occurred attempting to pass an argument to a function.
I'm not sure what the issue is as it is written the same way that is in my textbook.
I am still learning how to program in python, is there something I doing wrong?
I'm not sure what library you are using but this is a simple call in Pillow. The commands are these:
out = im.transpose(Image.FLIP_LEFT_RIGHT)
out = im.transpose(Image.FLIP_TOP_BOTTOM)
