Python oddities

[Guenter Schink]

reported to calcbeta

Beta 04/28 and earlier recent Betas
G2 and Virtual, not tested on G1

1. Reboot
2. Drawing not correct


1. Run a Python script from Home, change to any APP, and the G2 reboots.
From Tim's document "PPL-Changes + python.odt" I copied this snipped:

Code:

#PYTHON name
import sys
print(str(1+2)+sys.argv[0])
#end
Export ppl(a)
Begin
   PYTHON(name, a);
End;

The Python program runs o.k. from Home screen by entering ppl(5), but when I later push <APP> <Python> or any other App, the Prime kindly reports "Your HP Prime had a problem and will reboot in 3 seconds." Which it does. Short interrupt only, yet annoying. Every time I make some edits to a script I switch the Prime off and on again in order not to loose anything.

2. Drawing functions in Python. Preface: I'm working my way to Python and your implementation of it as a newcomer. Maybe I overlook the obvious.

I've set up this short program to test some drawing functions. As you can see, I have used two options for setting the cartesian parameters. Either with "eval" of "hpprime" or with Python's "set_cartesian" (which is now deactivated) both work fine with "line_c" and "textout_c" but not with "fillrect_c" or "rect_c" that is the latter two don't do anything. The non-cartesian commands are there for comparison. These are the commands I have tested, can't say anything of the other ones.

Code:

#PYTHON name
from hpprime import *
eval("Xmin=-15.9")
eval("Xmax=15.9")
eval("Ymin=-11.9")
eval("Ymax=11.9")
#set_cartesian(-16,16,-11,11)
fillrect_c(0,0,0,30,30,0,0)
fillrect(0,0,0,320,240,0,0)
line_c(0, -15.9, 0, 15.9, 0, 0x00FF00)
line_c(0, 0, -10, 0, 10, 0xFF0000)
fillrect(0,110,80,100,80,0x00FFFF,0xFFFFFF)
textout(0,0,0,"PIXEL",0xffffff)
textout_c(0,-3,0,"CARTESIAN",0)
eval("wait()")
#end
Export zeich(a)
Begin
     PYTHON(name, a);
End;

3. I'm using the HOME environment because only there (true?) I can have various independent Python scripts. The <Symb> <Num> combination isn't really handy. But perhaps I haven't seen the obvious.

I ran all these tests again after I rest the Prime including formatting the "disk", no change.

Yet I think it's a great improvement and keeps me busy to explore new things, thank you very much for these achievements.

Where is PPL-Changes + python.odt?

When I try to export the program name (hat), I get an error at

Export hat()

I think the syntax is not really obvious, could you post your code? Perhaps I can help. There are two distinct structures in the mentioned document, either one works, but don't mix them.

BTW, I took the freedom to tailor your Pyhat a bit. There is no improvement, I just played a little bit with Python things.

Code:

#PYTHON EXPORT name(c)
from hpprime import *
from math import *
mache=pixon
t0 = eval("ticks()") # Save the current clock count for timing program
fg=0xa0a0a0
# Clear screen
bg=0
fillrect(0,0,0,320,240,bg,bg)
# Start program proper
p=160; q=120
xp=144; xr=1.5*3.1415927
yp=56; yr=1; zp=64
xf=xr/xp; yf=yp/yr; zf=xr/zp
for zi in range(-q,q+1):
  if zi>=-zp and zi<=zp:
    zt=zi*xp/zp; zz=zi
    xl=int(.5+sqrt(xp*xp-zt*zt))
    # Draw one cross-section of figure
    for xi in range(-xl,xl+1):
      xt=sqrt(xi*xi+zt*zt)*xf; xx=xi
      yy=(sin(xt)+.4*sin(3*xt))*yf
      x1=xx+zz+p
      y1=yy-zz+q
      mache(0,x1,230-y1,fg)
#      eval("wait(0.001)")
      if y1!=0:
        line(0,x1,230-y1+1,x1,230,bg) # Erase points below current point
#    eval("wait(0.001)")
t = eval("ticks()")-t0
# Wait for key and print elapsed time
eval("wait()")
t = t/1000
print(t," seconds")
#end
Export pyhat(a)
Begin
  name(a);
End;

This has to be copied into an PPL program to work. Then it can be called by "pyhat(0)", any number instead of "0" will do.

OK, I got it to work now. Thanks!
I did change the line to

fg=exec("rgb(0,255,0)")

since that keeps the figure green and doesn't exact a time penalty by being enclosed in the loop.

What's the purpose of "mache"?
