Carry RideItem, Specification and Metrics to consider the cases when
the script is part of a UserMetric or an LTMPlot formula
Python series, activityWbal and activityXdata honor RideItem and Specification
Python activityMetrics honors ScriptContext RideItem and Metrics
Python activityMeanMax honors ScriptContext RideItem
Force recomputation of metrics just in case Python Scripts were used before
.. what a clusterfuck the Python embedding API is. If you set PYTHONHOME
it loses PYTHONPATH. But only on a Mac. Go figure.
.. so we just set the environment to the user defined value in prefs.
.. fixup trivial issues like PATHSEP and separators in general.
.. it seems that Py_SetProgramName will drive the initialisation of the
Python interpreter to set sys.path, sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix.
.. rather than trying to fixup these directly instead we set the program
name to the python installed binary (full path).
.. you still need python in your path, will fixup in part 2.
.. lastly, also added a 'printd' macro to embed debug info, which can
be enabled in gcconfig.pri via DEFINES += PYTHON_DEBUG=true
.. look for python in path and check version and module path, then
use this when initialising to ensure the installed modules
are used, not the local copy.
.. needs testing on Windows and need to enable the user to specify
the location of Python so users don't need to modify PATH.
.. allow the user to embed a python script into a datafilter.
.. this is primarily to enable the use of python when writing
user metrics.
.. the syntax is basically "%%python script %%" and it is
evaluated as an expresssion so the results can be assigned
to a variable or returned as a value.
.. additionally GC.result(double) has been added to the python
API to enable a return value to be set by the script.
.. since Python is really sensitive about white space its going
to be best practice to embed python scripts without honoring
any of the data filter spacing, for example:
{
value {
t <-
%%python
GC.result(100)
%%;
}
}
.. is likely to be a sensible way to use this.
.. also notice how the ; is needed after the expression. This
is because %%python ... %% is a numeric expression with the
same semantics as "1 + 2"
.. mad conflict .. where scipy.stats.linregress conflicts
with a sndfile and crashes when calling sf_check_fpe
.. see fix stolen from here: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/8130
.. very basic API as we develop out, it just returns a dict
for now. Need to expand to enable returning a list if
compare mode is active (like R).
.. implemented in a new source file Resources/python/library.py
which is loaded directly after the interpreter is loaded at
startup.
.. also updated src.pro to add library.py and goldencheetah.sip
to OTHER_FILES so they can be edited easily in QtCreator.
Basic proof of concept for CPP binding using SIP but with
our own type conversion (to avoid overhead of SIP lib/deploy).
Its far from perfect but will serve as a starting point.
.. needed to fixup type conversion in goldencheetah.sip to
convert returning QString as PyUnicode
.. needed to fixup passing context when multi-threaded
.. needed to fixup Bindings.h/cpp to offer new API
.. Using SIP thats used in PyQt et al we have a module
called `goldencheetah' which includes bindings.
Currently there is only a single method `getValue()'
that returns 1. It's to get the basic plumbing in place.
src/Python/SIP contains all the files related to the
module. The cpp files are generated by the `sip' utility
which will need to be available if you want to work on the
bindings. Run make -f Makefile.hack to regenerate the cpp
files if you edit them.
I prefer to distribute the generated files at this point
whilst development occurs. We may change that at a later
date.
.. Please note that the gcconfig.pri.in file has changed as
we now include the python include path rather than set a
macro for the include directive (See PYTHONINCLUDES in
gcconfig.pri.in)
.. lastly, to test this is working in a python chart console:
> print(GC.getValue())
1
>
.. runs in thread to avoid blocking GUI actions but GUI
will still wait for script to complete. ESC is trapped,
but mechanism to stop script not implemented yet.
.. added a python chart type, it doesn't execute code
yet. Just a reimplementation of the RChart UX
.. next we need to trap output and run code on selection
before proceeding to setting an API for Data and Charting
.. just bootstrapping, so Python is loaded and version
number made available in the about box.
.. see gcconfig.pri.in and src.pro for settings needed
.. not considering threading etc at this point
