We often need to control devices in the laboratory (linear stages, spectrometers, cameras, shutters, etc...). The drivers provided by many companies are a good start, but integrating the devices in custom software sometimes gets difficult. This Python module was created to facilitate the development of drivers, facilitate the creation of applications, and provide minimal but useful applications for hardware that is often used in the lab. It originates from a (private) project that I personnally maintained for nearly 10 years where drivers were written in Objective-C and included support for more than 30 different devices used in my laboratory. However, Python is more commonly taught in school and supports essentially all platforms, therefore I started this project so that I can 1) teach how to go about developing simple drivers, 2) teach good programming practices to students, 3) get the hardware working for my own lab regardless of the platforms used (we use macOS and Windows), 4) get help to shorten the development cycles to support more devices. Why Python? Python is object-oriented (essential) and offers reasonable performance. Python also has the quality of being a very nice team player: it is fairly easy to integrate Python with anything, on any platform and the community is extremely active. It is obvious by the numerous Python SDKs from companies, the thousands of modules on PyPi.org, and the support from all vendors (Microsoft, Apple and Linux). Python is also not a dead language: I am very pleased to see the language evolve over the years with new language features and new standard modules.

For pure educational and curiosity purposes, I am trying to create an element-wrapper object that allows me to tack-on my own properties and methods to an element. The behavior I'm trying to simulate is basically this:

I'm trying to define a decorator in order to execute a class method, try it first and, if an error is detected, raise it mentioning the method in which failed, so as to the user could see in which method is the error.
Here I show a MRE (Minimal, Reproducible Example) of my code.

QUESTION
I built a C++ shared library, that exports functions for constructing, destructing and interacting with an implemented class. I want to write a wrapper class in Python, which loads the compiled .dll and wraps all the functions as a class using ctypes .
How do I wrap the destructor function of the C++ class safely so it will be called in any case (Normal Garbage Collection, Exceptions etc) ?
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-11 at 10:50As per Python's data model doc:
Objects are never explicitly destroyed; however, when they become unreachable they may be garbage-collected. An implementation is allowed to postpone garbage collection or omit it altogether...
...
Some objects contain references to “external” resources such as open files or windows. It is understood that these resources are freed when the object is garbage-collected, but since garbage collection is not guaranteed to happen, such objects also provide an explicit way to release the external resource, usually a close() method. Programs are strongly recommended to explicitly close such objects. The
try…finallystatement and thewithstatement provide convenient ways to do this.
So even if in most cases __del__ method of an object is being called by GC, it is not guaranteed. with statement (from PEP 343) on the other hand guarantees that if __enter__ method of the object succeeded, then __exit__ method will be called at the end of the statement, both in case of normal execution and in case of exception. (More detailed in this question)
An example could be as below, with the usage of "object-closing" context manager from PEP 343 examples, and a wrapper class with close method which calls native object's destructor:
QUESTION
I have functions that takes an integer as input and also output an integer. I need to write a decorator to wrap them.
The decorator will save a tuple with two numbers: the average of the inputs and the average of the outputs. For every call to that kind of function, the averages will be printed.
I'm not really sure about the way. I tried this, but it just returns the same input and output of the current function call, how can I calculate the average of all the inputs and outputs till now? or else how do I keep the args amount for the next call to decorator?
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-01 at 22:34from functools import wraps

avg_input = wrap.sum_inputs / wrap.counter
avg_output = wrap.sum_outputs / wrap.counter

wrap.counter = 0
wrap.sum_inputs = 0
wrap.sum_outputs = 0

QUESTION
My goal here is to wrap an API function so that the wrapper has the same arguments as the API function and then also has one additional final parameter. The API function is very generic so the wrapper needs to take the types and parameters from this inside function.
My reasoning is that I need to enhance the API function with additional optional arguments. For another developer using this wrapper function, it would be an awful experience to have this optional argument as the first argument.
My current attempt is as follows:

Answered 2021-Dec-31 at 21:36In argument lists of functions the spread must come after other arguments. However, the same is not true for tuple types.
That means you could declare args like:

I want to write a wrapper for calling CPU-demanding functions in asyncio.
I want it to be used like this:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-17 at 14:54Maybe the original function and the wrapped one not having the same id is the problem?
In a way, yes. Before the function is sent to the target process it's pickled, which fails in your case, because the func object in the decorator's scope is different from the fact object in your main module, after rebinding by the decorator.
Look at this and this question for some background.
Based on these answers I created an example on how what you want can be achieved.
The trick is to create a picklable "runner" function, that the target process can use to look up your orginal function from some sort of registry (e.g. a dict...) and run it. This is of course just an example. You will probably not want to create your ProcessPoolExecutor in the decorator.
QUESTION
I am attempting to port C code from one platform to another and remove dependencies.
There is a debug function called dbg_out which prints out like printf().
The prototype is void dbg_out(int dbgMask, const char *pFormat, ...);
Here is an example call : dbg_out((5, "SerialDriver : (%04x-%08lx) \n", id, sn));
I would like to map this function to a normal printf() call but having some issues.
I have attempted this so far
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-29 at 14:51You need use vprintf instead, to be able to use unknown arguments
QUESTION
I'm recently reading some source code in cBLAS, and something make me unclear. In many functions, a .c file calls Fortran Wrapper instead of writing the codes directly in the C file, like the following file:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-18 at 20:07"What I wanna ask is actually why there is a need for a intermediate wrapper, why not write it in C?"
The whole CBLAS is a wrapper to BLAS. BLAS is defined using a reference Fortran implementation and a Fortran API. BLAS can be implemented in C or assembly, but the API is set to be Fortran.
Therefore the CBLAS does not actually contain the whole functionality. The functionality is in whatever BLAS implementation you install. The very common reference implementation is written in Fortran, but it is not the fastest one.
However, you probably could call the sdsdot function (in whichever language it is actually implemented) directly from C cblas_sdsdot. The author of CBLAS chose to implement a Fortran intermediate subroutine sdsdotsub. I do not have an answer why that is necessary right now. The difference is very small, really just changing a function to a subroutine.
As @jxh correctly comments, there is a larger risk of ABI incompatibility in calling a function vs calling a subroutine (similar to a void function).

But maybe your interest is not just in using the devices, but also in learning how to code to control them. You should find extensive documentation here on how to proceed.
1-simple: a very trivial implementation with simple commands in sequence
2-class: a class implementation of CoboltLaser that partially encapsulates the details and exposes a few functions: setPower() and power()
3-class+debugPort: a class implementation with a debug port that mimicks the real device
The main part of the code has a CoboltDevice that supports turnOn() turnOff(), setPower() and power()
