So i am reading (and displaying with a tkinter textbox) data from a serial connection, but i can't process the returning data as i would like to, in order to run my tests. In more simple terms, even though the machine response = 0x1 is displayed, i can't read it from the global serBuffer.
Before displaying it to the textbox i would read from inside the test function and then check if the response was in the string, but now that i pass the read data(strings) to a global variable and then try to read it, it doesn't seem to work, UNLESS i remove the serBuffer = "" from readserial. That results in a new issue though. When i press the button to send the command it sends it, but only receives the response after the second time i press it, and every time after. So as a result i get a Fail if i run the test once, but i get a pass everytime after.
Picture with the desired response ( that the test function doesn't read 0x1 and always returns FAIL)
Picture with the non-desired response ( that only receives the response after the second time a press it, and every time after. So as a result i get a Fail if i run the test once, but i get a pass every time after).

To find out the delay for the first response, try the following:
Note: You have to do this without running def readSerial, to prevent concurent empty the in buffer"
command = b" test command \r\n"
self.ser.write(command)
delay = 0.0
# wait until you get `.in_waiting` data.
while not self.ser.in_waiting:
time.sleep(0.1)
delay += 0.1

if delay >= 10:
print('BREAK after {} no in_waiting'.format(int(delay * 10)))

This is the code I'm using in my client. in my server, the code is as follows
def convertPos(str):

return int(str[0]), int(str[1])
else:
pass
def make_pos(tup):
return str(tup[0]) + "," + str(tup[1])

def threaded_client(conn,player):

while True:

if not data:

break
else:
if player == 1:

reply = (pos[1])
print("Received: ", data)
print("Sending : ", reply)
conn.sendall(str.encode(make_pos(reply)))
except:
break
print("Lost connection")
conn.close()
I am getting the error of ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ' '.
Can someone tell me why this is happening? The value of str in the function of convertPos() is coming in as a tuple which I am converting into a string and after that into an integer.
As you have converted it to string, the format you have is (x,y), you need to remove the brackets. You need to rewrite your convertPos function as:
def convertPos(str):
if str is not None:
str=str.strip("()")
str = str.split(",")
return int(str[0]), int(str[1])
EDIT You are not using the else part, so you can remove it.
And as #Azat Ibrakov says, you should not convert the tuple to an string, but if you need to do it, you can use ast.literal_eval like this:
import ast
def convertPos(str):
return ast.literal_eval(str)
or use it directly in place of the convertPos function.
Obviously - as others have pointed out, the returned error is because you're trying to convert an empty string (or spaces) to an integer.
But the real issue is that the incoming co-ordinate is malformed. The code is not catching this error. You can write lots of code to determine what the error is, and report an accurate error. Or just plough-on as if everything is fine, but also catch any exception with a reasonable error message.
def convertPos(str):
coord = None
try:
parts = str.split( ',', 2 )
x = int( parts[0] )
y = int( parts[1] )
coord = ( x, y )
except:
raise ValueError( 'Malformed co-ordinate string [' + str.strip() + ']' )
return coord
I suspect the socket code is not buffering a full packet, and maybe what's being processed is something like 122,, whereas the socket buffering needs to keep reading until a full co-ordinate has arrived.
So you could space-pad your co-ordinates to say a block of 11 characters - that way you know you must have received 11 characters to have a valid co-ordinate string. Alternatively use and end-of-coord marker, like a |, and then the socket code keeps buffing the input co-ordinate until that | arrives.
I know I can stop print from writing a newline by adding a comma
print "Hello, world!",
# print("Hello, world!", end='') for Python 3.x
But how do I stop raw_input (or input for Python 3.x) from writing a newline?
print "Hello, ",
name = raw_input()
print ", how do you do?"
Result:
Hello, Tomas
, how do you do?
Result I want:
Hello, Tomas, how do you do?
But how do I stop raw_input from writing a newline?
In short: You can't.
raw_input() will always echo the text entered by the user, including the trailing newline. That means whatever the user is typing will be printed to standard output.
If you want to prevent this, you will have to use a terminal control library such as the curses module. This is not portable, though -- for example, curses in not available on Windows systems.
I see that nobody has given a working solution, so I decided I might give it a go.
As Ferdinand Beyer said, it is impossible to get raw_input() to not print a new line after the user input. However, it is possible to get back to the line you were before.
I made it into an one-liner. You may use:
print '\033[{}C\033[1A'.format(len(x) + y),
where x is an integer of the length of the given user input and y an integer of the length of raw_input()'s string. Though it might not work on all terminals (as I read when I learned about this method), it works fine on mine. I'm using Kubuntu 14.04.
The string '\033[4C' is used to jump 4 indexes to the right, so it would be equivalent to ' ' * 4. In the same way, the string '\033[1A' is used to jump 1 line up. By using the letters A, B, C or D on the last index of the string, you can go up, down, right and left respectively.
Note that going a line up will delete the existing printed character on that spot, if there is one.
This circumvents it, somewhat, but doesn't assign anything to variable name:
print("Hello, {0}, how do you do?".format(raw_input("Enter name here: ")))
It will prompt the user for a name before printing the entire message though.
You can use getpass instead of raw_input if you don't want it to make a new line!
import sys, getpass
def raw_input2(value="",end=""):
sys.stdout.write(value)
data = getpass.getpass("")
sys.stdout.write(data)
sys.stdout.write(end)
return data
An alternative to backtracking the newline is defining your own function that emulates the built-in input function, echoing and appending every keystroke to a response variable except Enter (which will return the response), whilst also handling Backspace, Del, Home, End, arrow keys, line history, KeyboardInterrupt, EOFError, SIGTSTP and pasting from the clipboard. It's very simple.
Note that on Windows, you'll need to install pyreadline if you want to use line history with the arrow keys like in the usual input function, although it's incomplete so the functionality is still not quite right. In addition, if you're not on v1511 or greater of Windows 10, you'll need to install the colorama module (if you're on Linux or macOS, nothing needs to be done).
Also, due to msvcrt.getwch using '\xe0' to indicate special characters, you won't be able to type 'à'. You should be able to paste it though.
Below is code that makes this work on updated Windows 10 systems (at least v1511), Debian-based Linux distros and maybe macOS and other *NIX operating systems. It should also work regardless of whether you have pyreadline installed on Windows, though it'll lack some functionality.

As you can see, it's a lot of work for not that much since you need to deal with the different operating systems and basically reimplement a built-in function in Python rather than C. I'd recommend that you just use the simpler TempHistory class I made in another answer, which leaves all the complicated logic-handling to the built-in function.
Like Nick K. said, you'll need to move the text cursor back to before the newline was echoed. The problem is that you can't easily get the length of the previous line in order to move rightward, lest you store every string printed, prompted and inputted in its own variable.
Below is a class (for Python 3) that fixes this by automatically storing the last line from the terminal (provided you use its methods). The benefit of this compared to using a terminal control library is that it'll work in the standard terminal for both the latest version of Windows as well as *NIX operating systems. It'll also print the 'Hello, ' prompt before getting input.
If you're on Windows but not v1511 of Windows 10, then you'll need to install the colorama module or else this won't work, since they brought ANSI cursor movement support in that version.

As already answered, we can't stop input() from writing a newline. Though it may not satisfy your expectation, somehow the following codes satisfy the condition if -
you don't have any issue clearing the screen
import os
name = input("Hello, ")
os.system("cls") # on linux or mac, use "clear"
print(f"Hello, {name}, how do you do?")
or no issue using the gui dialog box, as dialog box disappears after taking user input, you will see exactly what you expected
import easygui
name = easygui.enterbox("Hello, ", "User Name")
print("Hello, "+name+", how do you do?")
I think you can use this:
name = input("Hello , ")
It should be something like this:-
print('this eliminates the ', end=' ')
print('new line')
The output is this:-
this eliminates the new line.
