A simple raw hexdumper. (Python)

2016-09-19T13:24:37-07:00

Python recipe 580697 by Barry Walker (amiga, apple, fs_uae, hex, hexdump, linux, macbook_pro, raw_hexdump, unix, windows, winuae).

This is not a hexreader. This code creates a raw hexdump of a binary file that is whitespace, optional, delimited. The dump is saved into the current directory with a ".hex" extension.

It works on just about any current platform but is designed around a stock Amiga A1200(HD) with Python 1.4.0. It also works on the current stable version 3.5.2.

I needed a hexdump some years ago for banging the Amiga hardware, and decided to modify recently for another usage but it had to still work on version 1.4.0 for the classic A1200.

A Function To Create A 1 Second Sinewave WAVE Beep File. (Python)

2014-11-23T19:24:46-08:00

Python recipe 578971 by Barry Walker (amiga, apple, audio, beep, error_beep, error_sound, e_uae, linux, sinewave, sound, wav, wave, windows, winuae).

sinebeep.py

Creating an audio file called...

beep.wav

...that can be played using almost ANY audio player available.

This simple snippet of code generates a 1 second sinewave WAVE file. It IS saved inside the CURRENT drawer so that you can find it... ;o)

This works on:- Classic stock AMIGA A1200, using Python 1.4.0. WinUAE and E-UAE, AmigaOS 3.0.x using Python 1.4.0 to 2.0.1. Windows, to at least 7, using Python 2.0.1 to 3.3.2. Various Linux flavours using Python 2.4.6 to 3.2.2. Apple OSX 10.7.x and above using Python 2.5.6 to 3.4.1.

The file size is 8044 bytes and _IF_ you need to it can be palyed directly without a player on some Linux flavours that have the /dev/dsp device. It is an 8 bit, unsigned integer, mono, 8000Hz sampling speed 8000 byte RAW file with the WAVE header added.

It will still work with PulseAudio and OSS using...

cat /full/path/to/beep.wav > /dev/dsp

...but with a momenatry click due to the 44 header bytes; but hey it is a beep alternative...

Well the Python version of the top URL has been uploaded to AMINET on 01-08-2013...

Now the big gun that complained about my fun Python upload and voted it down can see that this was a serious attempt ae viewing "Hello World!" in extra large xharacters.

This is the result in Python...

It is ONLY uploaded to AMINET and that is where it will stay.

If you want it then use the pointer inside code section.

Remember to change the BIG_TIME.py.txt file on AMINET to BIG_TIME.py...

Designed around a Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.5 for the Classic AMIGA platforms and works on Debian 6.0.x and PCLiuxOS 2009 using Python versions 1.4.0 to 3.3.2 inclusive...

Although the description in the AMINET readme below is for an AMIGA environment it does not take a genius to adapt it to the other platforms...

Boy was this difficult to get working in a single Python script...

ENJOY...

This is the AMINET readme file:-

Short: A Big Digital Clock Python Script. Author: wisecracker@tesco.net (Barry Walker) Uploader: wisecracker@tesco.net (Barry Walker) Type: dev/src Version: 1.00.00 Architecture: generic; m68k-amigaos

Distribution: Public Domain, Emailware.

============================================================================

Architectures: Classic AMIGAs, E-UAE and WinUAE.

MINIMUM Requirements Are:-

    68EC020 CPU and 2MB RAM total, example, a standard A1200(HD).
    WinUAE Version 1.5.3 minimum. 
    Standard OS3.0x install or better.
    Python Version 1.4.0 or higher.
    (Also, OSX 10.7.5, Debian Linux 6.0.x and PCLinuxOS 2009.)

History.

01-08-2013. Version 1.00.00:- Original upload to AMINET...

This is dedicated entirely to the AMIGA community and AMINET and will not be uploaded elsewhere.

To install just download the "BIG_TIME.py.txt" file and rename it to "BIG_TIME.py" without the quotes. Drag this file into your AMIGA PYTHON: volume and...

From a minimum of Python Version 1.4.0 prompt:-

>>> exec(open("PYTHON:BIG_TIME.py").read())<CR>

And away you go...

This code is/was designed to work in all versions of Python from 1.4.0 to 3.3.2 on at least the platforms shown in the Architectures: section.

It was developed entirely on a Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.5 and finalised using MEmacs for the AMIGA.

This is just a simple DEMO to show how to generate large digits in Python and put them to use as an _AT_A_GLANCE_ digital clock.

It starts up by generating all of the characters available for the DEMO for five seconds then goes into the clock proper.

As this code is multi platform AND multi Python version then it is issued as GPL2...

"execfile()" IS BACK! Backwards Compatibility part 5... (Python)

2011-11-04T18:17:48-07:00

Python recipe 577942 by Barry Walker (all_versions, amiga, backwards_compatibility, e_uae, linux, windows, winuae).

"execfile()" IS BACK!!!

Some example lines to add to any test code you write that work from Python (1.4.0), 2.0.1 to 3.2.2 on various platforms.

It is all Public Domain and you can do with it as you please...

I really don't care how you vote and/or rate this as I try to write Python code for my usage to work on the platforms and versions inside the code.

These are a little tongue in cheek so don't take them too seriously.

Clear screen and beep for various platforms. (Python)

2011-02-26T14:26:02-08:00

Python recipe 577588 by Barry Walker (amiga, audio, beep, clearscreen, display, error_beep, error_sound, e_uae, linux, screenclear, sound, windows, winuae).

This little module gives a clear screen and beep for the classic AMIGA, WinUAE, Windows and Linux all in CLI/Command-Prompt/Terminal mode.

It works from Python 1.4.x to 2.7.x; talk about backwards compatibility... ;oD With very little modification it will work on Python 3.x.x easily.)

See the file clsbeep.py attached for more information.

it is saved as clsbeep.py and placed into the Python - Lib drawer or where-ever the modules are located and called as a module:-

>>> import clsbeep

Its usage is:-

clsbeep.cls() and clears the screen. clsbeep.beep() and creates an error beep. clsbeep.both() creates an error beep first then clears the screen.

It is Public Domain and if you modify it to suit other platforms please let me have a copy of your code... :)
