Setting the aspect ratio works for 2d plots: But does not for 3d: Is there a different syntax for the 3d case, or it’s not implemented? Answer My understanding is basically that this isn’t implemented yet (see this bug in GitHub). I’m also hoping that it is implemented soon. See This link for a possible solution (I haven’t tested it
Is there a way to “compile” Python code onto an Arduino (Uno)?
I have a robotics type project with an Arduino Uno, and to make a long story short, I am experimenting with some AI algorithms. However, I need to implement some high level matrix algorithms that would be quite simple using NumPy/SciPy, but they are an utter nightmare in C or C++. Even with the libraries out there, this is just
isinstance() and issubclass() return conflicting results
How do you explain isinstance(Hello,object) returns True whilst issubclass(Hello,object) returns False? and Answer It’s because you are using old-style classes so it doesn’t derive from object. Try this instead: Old-style classes are deprecated and you shouldn’t use them any more. In Python 3.x all classes are new-style and writing (object) is no longer required.
Pausing two Python threads while a third one does stuff (with locks?)
I’m new to concurrent programming. I’d like to execute three tasks repeatedly. The first two should run all the time, the third should run every hour or so. The first two tasks can run in parallel, but I always want to pause them while the third task is running. Here’s the skeleton of what I’ve tried: I would expect this
How to maximize a browser window using the Python bindings for Selenium 2-WebDriver?
I wanted to know how to maximize a browser window using the Python bindings for Selenium 2-WebDriver. Answer The trunk version has webdriver.set_window_position(), webdriver.set_window_size() methods:
What scalability issues are associated with NetworkX?
I’m interested in network analysis on large networks with millions of nodes and tens of millions of edges. I want to be able to do things like parse networks from many formats, find connected components, detect communities, and run centrality measures like PageRank. I am attracted to NetworkX because it has a nice api, good documentation, and has been under
How can I set the aspect ratio in matplotlib?
I’m trying to make a square plot (using imshow), i.e. aspect ratio of 1:1, but I can’t. None of these work: It seems like the calls are just being ignored (a problem I often seem to have with matplotlib). Answer Third times the charm. My guess is that this is a bug and Zhenya’s answer suggests it’s fixed in the
How to add hovering annotations to a plot
I am using matplotlib to make scatter plots. Each point on the scatter plot is associated with a named object. I would like to be able to see the name of an object when I hover my cursor over the point on the scatter plot associated with that object. In particular, it would be nice to be able to quickly
Conditional expressions in sagemath, when defining a symbolic expression
In SageMath, (version 4.7), I do this in the notebook: and this gives no error. However, after that, dens(1, 1) returns 0, dens(1, 0.5) returns 0, and so on! In fact, I found no way to get the answer 2. What am I doing wrong? Answer You’re using the Sage function declaration syntax — f(x,y) = something-or-other — but on
python: how to check if a line is an empty line
Trying to figure out how to write an if cycle to check if a line is empty. The file has many strings, and one of these is a blank line to separate from the other statements (not a “”; is a carriage return followed by another carriage return I think) Since I am using the file input module, is there
