Tutorials Point - Simply Easy Learning

Hi, I like it your Python tutorial! Thanks, it is really good. But I think you did mistake on this page http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_loop_control.htm. Check example of The continue Statement, I guess this part of code should be like this:

Code: Select all

var = 10                    # Second Example
while var > 0:
   var = var - 1
   if var == 5:
      continue
   print 'Current variable value :', var;


And of course it will affect the result of it, where number 5 will not be printed.

Am I correct? ))

Thanks Paniov, I have fixed it.

on page http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/st ... etrans.htm
the str.translate example only has one argument: trantab.
It should have two: the line it is working on, and trantab e.g. str.translate(line,trantab)

Pls try given example and I'm sure it will work.

!/usr/bin/python

from string import maketrans # Required to call maketrans function.

intab = "aeiou"
outtab = "12345"
trantab = maketrans(intab, outtab)

str = "this is string example....wow!!!";
print str.translate(trantab);

Hi,

could it be that one needs a specific version of python or some optional modules for every examples to work?
I ask because the Mutlithreading with queues doesn't seem to work for me

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python

import Queue
import threading
import time

exitFlag = 0

class myThread (threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, threadID, name, q):
        self.threadID = threadID
        self.name = name
        self.q = q
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
    def run(self):
        print "Starting " + self.name
        process_data(self.name, self.q)
        print "Exiting " + self.name

def process_data(threadName, q):
    while not exitFlag:
        queueLock.acquire()
        if not workQueue.empty():
            data = q.get()
            queueLock.release()
            print "%s processing %s" % (threadName, data)
        else:
            queueLock.release()
        time.sleep(1)

threadList = ["Thread-1", "Thread-2", "Thread-3"]
nameList = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"]
queueLock = threading.Lock()
workQueue = Queue.Queue(10)
threads = []
threadID = 1

# Create new threads
for tName in threadList:
    thread = myThread(threadID, tName, workQueue)
    thread.start()
    threads.append(thread)
    threadID += 1

# Fill the queue
queueLock.acquire()
for word in nameList:
    workQueue.put(word)
queueLock.release()

# Wait for queue to empty
while not workQueue.empty():
    pass

# Notify threads it's time to exit
exitFlag = 1

# Wait for all threads to complete
for t in threads:
    t.join()
print "Exiting Main Thread"

I just wanted to test it (I'm not really familiar with python yet.) But all I got was:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "threads.py", line 40, in <module>
    thread = myThread(threadID, tName, workQueue)
  File "threads.py", line 12, in __init__
    self.name = name
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 689, in name
    assert self.__initialized, "Thread.__init__() not called"
AssertionError: Thread.__init__() not called

I'm working on Ubuntu 11.04 with the newest version of Python from the repositories.

Ok I found a solution via our best friend Google!

It seems that the Subclass is a little bit mixed up. Like KevinSimpson in the above Forum states:

"If the subclass overrides the constructor, it must make sure to
invoke the base class constructor (Thread.__init__()) before doing
anything else to the thread."

So the Code has to be changed so that

Code: Select all

threading.Thread.__init__(self)

is called before one defines

Code: Select all

        self.threadID = threadID
        self.name = name
        self.q = q

It should have two: the line it is working on, and trantab e.g. str.translate(line,trantab)
