Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering about the best way to enumerate something.
I have a list of columnames for a db and I decided to put them in a giant
tuple list for two reasons:
1) its unchangeable
2) I was hoping that creating an enumeration of those names would be easy
In the os.stat there is aparrently a list of things you can refer to eg:
ST_SIZE, ST_ATIME, etc.
How are these defined? They appear to be related to 0,1,2,3,.... some
sort of enumeration.
I would like to create an enumeration with 'friendly names' that map to the
particular offset in my column name tuple.
Thanks,
David

David,
You may have to give us more detail about what
you want to do, but here goes:
listofcolumns=( 'field1','field 2','field3')
for column in listofcolumns:
<do something>
Most of the time I find that putting the names
in a dictionary with the column name as key and
offset as the value seems to work better.
dictofcolumns={ 'field1':1, 'field2': 2, 'field3':3}
value_for_field 3=row[dictofcolumns['field3']]
For your second question I think you should
take a look at os.path.getatim e, .gmtime, getsize
they are easier to use.

I would like to create an enumeration with 'friendly names' that map to the particular offset in my column name tuple.
Like this? class tuple_names(tup le):
.... def __init__(self, dummy = None):
.... self.__dict__ = dict(zip(self, range(0, len(self))))
.... x = tuple_names(('a ', 'b', 'c')) x
('a', 'b', 'c') x.c

Another approach to enumeration which I've just been playing with:
import sys
class Named_int(int):
"""Named_int('n ame', value) is an int with str() = repr() = 'name'."""
def __new__(cls, name, val):
self = int.__new__(cls , val)
self.name = name
return self
def __str__(self): return self.name
__repr__ = __str__
__slots__ = 'name'
def Enum_dict(_Enum _dest = None, **src):
if _Enum_dest is None:
_Enum_dest = {}
for name, val in src.items():
_Enum_dest[name] = Named_int(name, val)
return _Enum_dest
def Enum(**mapping) :
"""Enum(var = integer, ...) defines the specified named integer variables.
Each variable is set to a Named_int with name 'var' and value 'integer'.
Enum() only works in class bodies and at file level, not in functions."""
Enum_dict(sys._ getframe(1).f_l ocals, **mapping)
# Test
if __name__ == '__main__':
x = Named_int('y', 3)
print x, str(x), int(x), "(%s = %d)" % (x, x)
Enum(
debug = 0,
info = 1,
warning = 2,
error = 3,
critical = 4
)
print"%s = %d" % (info, info)
class foo: Enum (one = 1, two = 2)
print foo.two
print Enum_dict(three = 3, five = 5)
print Enum_dict({None : ()}, seven = 7)

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out here. I'm currently
looking to find the quickest way to find a best fit match in a large array.
My problem is that I have an array of, say, 600*400, which contains a value
at each point, and I need to find the value in that array which is closest
to the input value. It's basically some euclidean distances that I've
calculated, and I need to be able to find the best matches...

as in:

This appears to assign assign those vars as 'constants' with values of 0,1,2

I see that there is a thread of a similar topic that was posted
recently ( enumerate with a start index ) but thought I would start a
new thread since what I am suggesting is a little different.
I posted a very similar item to python-dev, but they said to post it
here. Tutor also said that if anything is to be considered as PEP
worthy, it should be run through here first. So...here goes.
Whenever I use enumerate, I am doing so...

I write a lot of code that looks like this:
for myElement, elementIndex in zip( elementList,
range(len(elementList))):
print "myElement ", myElement, " at index: ",elementIndex
My question is, is there a better, cleaner, or easier way to get at the
element in a list AND the index of a loop than this?

I think that it would be handy for enumerate to behave as such:
def enumerate(itrbl, start=0, step=1):
i = start
for it in itrbl:
yield (i, it)
i += step
This allows much more flexibility than in the current enumerate,
tightens up code in many cases, and seems that it would break no
