Fedora 41 : generated shapes with python !

Today I created this source code in python that generates eight random convex polygons. The idea was to create sprites for a 2D game: snowballs, boulders, or similar objects ... Obviously I also used Sonet 3.5 artificial intelligence. You can find the source code on the pagure account in fedora.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
SVG Polygon Generator

This script generates multiple deformed polygonal shapes and saves them as separate SVG files.
Each polygon maintains convex properties while having controlled random deformations.

Features:
    - Generates 8 unique polygonal shapes
    - Controls deformation through radial and angular factors
    - Maintains convex properties
    - Exports each shape to a separate SVG file
    - Uses random colors for visual distinction

Usage:
    python generate_svgs.py

Output:
    Creates 8 SVG files named 'polygon_1.svg' through 'polygon_8.svg'

Fedora 42 : Can be better? part 020.

I wrote in some posts about this blog about the possibility of improving the distribution of Linux Fedora.
Today I discovered that choosing GNOME is a better option with lighting modes and options for the Nemo file manager actions.
I would have wanted to have a better network system similar to portmanager with S.P.N. for fedora users and team on web.
SPN (Secure Peer Name) is a technology related to secure communication protocols, particularly in the context of peer-to-peer networks and distributed systems.
I want to have more tools and applications on tty with GUI, like ncurses... I created an radio online application with ncurses and you can find it on my pagure.
The main goal of these type of graphic user interface is simplicity, no need hardware resources - this HP Compaq 6710b has only 4Gb RAM, and cand be used with Single Board Computer.
I think Fedora don't have a Fedora Spin for Single Board Computer hardware.
Let's start with python 3 action on nemo file manager.
Go to the action folder and create an action file named: python3.nemo_action.
[root@fedora mythcat]# cd /usr/share/nemo/actions
[root@fedora actions]# nano python3.nemo_action
Add this source code :
[Nemo Action]
Name=Execute Python Script
Icon-Name=python
Exec=env /usr/bin/python3 %F
Selection=S
Name[tr]=Python script         
Extensions=py;
Reopen the Nemo file manager and you see an an Execute Python Script, only on the python script on right click menu.
Let's see some screenshots:

Fedora 42 : The cvxpy python module ... part 001.

We are building a CVXPY community on Discord. Join the conversation! CVXPY is an open source Python-embedded modeling language for convex optimization problems. It lets you express your problem in a natural way that follows the math, rather than in the restrictive standard form required by solvers.
Today I install the cvxpy python module ...
You can see on the official website - www.cvxpy.org .
NOTE: I don't understand why the blogger don't have a a code tag , I used a div - pre - code into txt file to wrote my posts ...

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 004.

... working on hacking game code , you can test two version of the unfinished game with agentpy at my pagure Fedora account.
* Hack the code based on minimal information versus total information. The code has 5 distinct letters. - click on the letters on the keypad - the number of guessed letters is displayed in the form: centered - guessed letters on positions and moved guessed letters but on other positions NOTE: the source code is under development, I need to enter a scroll to be able to enter more codes with letters

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 003.

I have upgraded the source code with the following changes:
  • added agent with logic using the python agentpy module;
  • I increased the grid to 16 x 16;
  • I kept the win condition at 8 pieces aligned in any direction;
  • I added conditions for displaying the equality message;
The game is hard to win, you can try on my pagure account.

Fedora 42 : Fedora game project with pygame and agentpy - part 001.

I started a game project with the python packages pygame and agentpy in the Fedora 42 Linux distribution.
I used this version of Fedora:
[mythcat@fedora fedora_game]$ uname -a
Linux fedora 6.11.0-63.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Sep 15 17:14:12 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
... and this python version:
Python 3.12.3 (main, Apr 17 2024, 00:00:00) [GCC 14.0.1 20240411 (Red Hat 14.0.1-0)] on linux

Fedora 39 : Issues in Fedora with PyGobject and sway-tests.

Today I wanted to test this repo named sway-tests.
I followed the steps there and received an error from gi.repository.
This error is related to another issue related to PyGobject.
In Fedora Linux distro, installing PyGobject is done with pip like this:
$ pip install PyGobject
In order to have no errors, the dnf or dnf5 tool should be used like this ...
I tested the functionality of this installation with a simple example:
import gi

gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk

win = Gtk.Window()
win.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all()
Gtk.main()
It worked very well.
After solving this issue, I returned to the initial one and tested the sway-tests.
$ whereis sway
$ env/bin/pytest --sway=/usr/bin/sway
$ sudo env/bin/pytest --sway=/usr/bin/sway
I used the command both with and without sudo.
Both generated the same errors.
For the following command I had to install ... xorg-x11-server-Xephyr:
Xephyr is an X server which has been implemented as an ordinary X application. It runs in a window just like other X applications, but it is an X server ...
... the fixed centered black window specific to the xorg runtime appeared and somewhere on the side the terminal showed me a bunch of errors.
... obviously, I don't know how well sway-tests is implemented, now it's an archived repo, but I solved the use of PyGobject in python on the Fedora linux distribution.

Fedora 36 : first steps with the Hy.

Hy is a dialect of the Lisp programming language designed to interact with Python by translating s-expressions into Python's abstract syntax tree (AST). Hy was introduced at Python Conference (PyCon) 2013 by Paul Tagliamonte.
This is quite similar to the old GIMP Script Fu that I've worked with in the past. The syntax assumes a join like tabs in HTML, only we'll use parentheses. I haven't studied in detail the implications it has with the python language, but it certainly wasn't invented for nothing.
First, you need to install it with the pip tool.
[mythcat@fedora ~]$ pip3 install hy --user
Collecting hy
...
Successfully built hy
Installing collected packages: funcparserlib, colorama, hy
Successfully installed colorama-0.4.5 funcparserlib-1.0.0 hy-0.24.0

I created the simplest example to test through the import procedure and then read with the dir function, here is the source code:
from flask import Flask
from flask_mailing import Mail, Message

app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def index():
    test = str(dir(Mail))
    return test
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
The result of running the script on the command line:

Fedora 34 : Can be better? part 019.

Another way to improve the Fedora 34 is to add the lastes PyQt6 python package into repo.
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf search PyQt6
Last metadata expiration check: 2:03:10 ago on Tue 06 Jul 2021 08:52:41 PM EEST.
No matches found. 
First stable release for PyQt6 was on Jan 2021 by Riverbank Computing Ltd. under GPL or commercial and can be used with Python 3.
Let's install with pip tool:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
...
  WARNING: The scripts pip, pip3 and pip3.9 are installed in '/home/mythcat/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, 
  use --no-warn-script-location.
Successfully installed pip-21.1.3
[mythcat@desk ~]$ pip install PyQt6 --user
...
Let's see a simple example with this python package:
import sys
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel

def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = QLabel()
    win.resize(640, 498)
    win.setText("Qt is awesome!!!")
    win.show()
    app.exec()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
I tested and run well.

        # Write equations
        equation = MathTex("2x^2-5x+2", "=", "(x-2)(2x-1)")

        # Create animation
        self.play(Write(equation))

        # Add moving frames
        framebox1 = SurroundingRectangle(equation[0], buff=.1)
        framebox2 = SurroundingRectangle(equation[2], buff=.1)

        # Create animations
        self.play(Create(framebox1))  # creating the frame

        self.wait()
        # replace frame 1 with frame 2
        self.play(ReplacementTransform(framebox1, framebox2))
    
        self.wait()
I run it well:
[mythcat@desk manim_Projects]$ /home/mythcat/.local/bin/manim -pl -ql -i follow_me_textxt.py

Fedora 32 : Can be better? part 008.

The Fedora development is not very active in the last programming language.
The main reason is the build new packages and put on the repository.
I think this can be improved with a good tool to solve all dependencies and link all into a good package.
Today I tested the new Python version 3.5.10 released on September 5th, 2020.
I download an unzip the archive and I use these commands to build this python version
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd Python-3.5.10/
[mythcat@desk Python-3.5.10]$ ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking for python3.5... no
checking for python3... python3
checking for --enable-universalsdk... no
...
The next command is make:
[mythcat@desk Python-3.5.10]$ make
gcc -pthread -c -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
   -Werror=declaration-after-statement   -I. -I./Include    -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Programs/python.o 
./Programs/python.c
...
# On Darwin, always use the python version of the script, the shell
# version doesn't use the compiler customizations that are provided
# in python (_osx_support.py).
if test `uname -s` = Darwin; then \
 cp python-config.py python-config; \
fi
Then I used make test.
[mythcat@desk Python-3.5.10]$ make test
running build
running build_ext
INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers

Python build finished successfully!
...
For the last part I used this command:
[mythcat@desk Python-3.5.10]$ sudo make install
...
The result of this is ...
[mythcat@desk Python-3.5.10]$ ls
aclocal.m4     config.sub    Include          Mac              Modules  platform        python            README

Fedora 30 : Introduction to Qt Designer.

Qt Designer is the Qt tool for designing and building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with Qt Widgets... see the Qt Designer manual webpage.
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install qt5-designer.x86_64
...
Installed:
  qt5-designer-5.12.5-1.fc30.x86_64                                             
  qt5-qttools-libs-designercomponents-5.12.5-1.fc30.x86_64                      

Complete!
Let's start this tool with this command:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ designer-qt5 
Follow this video tutorial from my youtube channel:

You can preview your work with Ctrl+R keys.
After you finish with the project then save the file with this name: mytest.ui.
The next command to create your working python file named mytest.py.
Use this command with the -x option creates the main section to the my.py file that will allow us to test quickly whether the GUI looks as we intended.
[mythcat@desk ~]$ pyuic5 -x  mytest.ui -o mytest.py
Now you can run it to see the output:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ python3  mytest.py
