question:How can I calculate a running Standard Deviation in Python without keeping a record of each processing time 't'? I'm going through a known quantity of items 'I', timing how long it takes to process each item 't', and maintaining a running total of processing time 'T' and the number of items processed so far 'c'. I'm currently calculating the average on the fly 'A = T / c', but this can be skewed by a single item taking a long time to process.
answer:To compute a running standard deviation, you can use Welford's method for computing variance. It doesn't require you to keep all the time 't' values and it's a numerically stable algorithm. Below is a Python code snippet demonstrating how to do it: ```python def welford_variance(data): n = 0 mean = 0 M2 = 0 for t in data: n += 1 delta = t - mean mean += delta / n delta2 = t - mean M2 += delta * delta2 if n < 2: return float('nan') else: return M2 / (n - 1) def standard_deviation(data): return welford_variance(data) ** 0.5 ``` In this code, 'welford_variance' is a generator function that takes your stream of data as an input. It uses Welford's method to compute the variance of the stream on the fly. The 'standard_deviation' function uses the variance to compute the standard deviation. You can call 'standard_deviation' function with your stream of 't' times as the argument to get the running standard deviation. This way, you won't need to keep a record of each 't' time., To calculate a running standard deviation in Python without keeping a record of each processing time `t`, you can use the following formula for the running variance: `Variance(T, c) = (T - c * A)**2 / (c - 1)` where `T` is the total processing time, `c` is the number of items processed, and `A` is the average processing time. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Therefore, you can calculate the running standard deviation as follows: `StandardDeviation(T, c) = sqrt((T - c * A)**2 / (c - 1))` Here is some sample code that demonstrates how to calculate the running standard deviation using this formula: ```python import math def running_mean(t, c, T): A = T / c return A def running_stddev(t, c, T, prev_stddev=0): A = T / c variance = (T - c * A)**2 / (c - 1) stddev = math.sqrt(variance) return stddev if c > 1 else prev_stddev T = 0 c = 0 prev_stddev = 0 for t in item_processing_times: T += t c += 1 stddev = running_stddev(t, c, T, prev_stddev) print("Running standard deviation:", stddev) prev_stddev = stddev ``` This code calculates the running standard deviation using the `running_stddev` function, which takes the current processing time `t`, the current number of items processed `c`, the total processing time `T`, and the previous standard deviation `prev_stddev`. The `running_stddev` function first calculates the running mean `A` using the `running_mean` function. It then calculates the running variance using the variance formula, and takes the square root of the variance to obtain the running standard deviation. If this is the first item being processed (i.e., `c = 1`), then the previous standard deviation is returned. Note that for accuracy, the standard deviation should only be calculated after a minimum of two items have been processed (i.e., `c > 1`). Therefore, the previous standard deviation is used for the first item, and then updated with each subsequent item.,To calculate a running standard deviation in Python without keeping a record of each processing time 't', you can use a sliding window approach that estimates the standard deviation based on a fixed number of recent times 't'. You can update this window continuously as the processing progresses. Here's an example code using a sliding window approach: ```python import numpy as np def running_stddev(times, num_entries): window_size = num_entries data = np.array(times:window_size) # First window of data mean = np.mean(data) M2 = np.var(data) start_index = 0 for i in range(window_size, len(times)): end_index = i + 1 data = timesstart_index: end_index # New window of data latest_time = timesi # Remove old values and add new values data = np.append(data, latest_time) mean = np.mean(data) M2 = np.var(data) stddev = np.sqrt(M2 / (end_index - start_index - 1)) # Shift the start_index start_index = end_index # Add your processing code here # ... return stddev ``` In this code, `times` is the list of processing times, and `num_entries` is the size of the sliding window. The function returns the running standard deviation calculated over the last `num_entries` times. For the first `num_entries` iterations, this function will return `None` since it has not received enough data yet to calculate the standard deviation. This sliding window approach provides a good approximation of the running standard deviation without requiring to store each processing time 't'. Note that the accuracy of this estimate may decrease if the distribution of processing times changes significantly over time.
question:How can I create a custom admin page in Django without a model? I copied index.html to my project folder and added my code to the apps block. I then created a new page preferences.html within the /templates/admin/preferences/ directory and added a url to urls.py. However, when I run it, I receive an error saying "The requested admin page does not exist". What could be causing this issue? Here is the structure of my project: mysite/ templates/ admin/ index.html The code added to the apps block is as follows: ```html <div class="module"> <table summary="{% blocktrans with name="preferences" %}Models available in the preferences application.{% endblocktrans %}"> <caption><a href="preferences" class="section">{% blocktrans with name="preferences" %}Preferences{% endblocktrans %}</a></caption> <tr> <th scope="row"><a href="preferences">Preferences</a></th> <td><a href="preferences" class="changelink">{% trans 'Change' %}</a></td> </tr> </table> </div> ``` The code in urls.py is as follows: ```python url(r'^admin/preferences/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='admin/preferences/preferences.html')), ``` The code in preferences.html is as follows: ```html {% extends "admin/base_site.html" %} {% block title %}Test page{% endblock %} ```
answer:The error message "The requested admin page does not exist" indicates that Django is unable to locate the correct view for this URL. This can be caused by several issues. 1. If you are trying to add a custom admin page without a model, it's recommended you create a custom context processor and use it to populate the template. The custom context processor can then be used to inject your required data into the request context. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this: Step 1: Create a file in the directory where your models are defined, let's say `context_processors.py`: ```python from django.contrib import admin from django.conf import settings admin.site_context = settings.ADMIN_SITE_NAME def get_admin_site_name(request): if admin.site_context in admin.site._registry: return True else: return False def admin_site_name(request): return get_admin_site_name(request) ``` Step 2: In your settings.py, add 'your_app_name' to the `CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` list: ```python import your_app CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = # Your other context processors 'your_app.context_processors.admin_site_name' ``` Step 3: In your admin.py file, override the `site` attribute and set the `name` attribute: ```python from django.contrib import admin from your_app import settings admin.site.name = settings.ADMIN_SITE_NAME ``` Step 4: Update the URL pattern in your urls.py file: ```python from django.urls import path, include from django.contrib import admin urlpatterns = path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('admin/your_custom_page/', your_custom_view), ``` 2. You can also create a new Django view in your `views.py` file and specify the template in the view's `render()` method: ```python from django.views.generic import TemplateView from django.template import loader class YourCustomView(TemplateView): def get_template_names(self): template = loader.get_template('admin/your_custom_page.html') return template def get(self, request): context = { # Your context } return self.render(request, 'admin/your_custom_page.html', context) ``` Next, in your urls.py file, include the path to your custom view: ```python from django.urls import path, include from django.contrib import admin from . import views as your_app_views urlpatterns = path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('admin/test', your_app_views.YourCustomView.as_view()), ``` Make sure that you've situated your views, templates, and URLs in the proper directories according to Django's file structure and configuration., The issue is likely caused by the fact that you're trying to include the "preferences" page in the index.html template within the `apps` block, which is only for Django's built-in apps. Instead, you should include a link to your custom admin page in the `app_list` block, like this: ```html {% if app_list %} {% for app in app_list %} {% if app.name != "preferences" %} <h2><a href="{% url 'admin:app_list' app.name %}">{{ app.name }}</a></h2> {% endif %} {% if app.models %} {% for model in app.models %} {# ... #} {% endfor %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% else %} <p>{% trans "You don't have any apps installed." %}</p> {% endif %} {% block app_list_section %} {% if not model_list %} <p>{% trans "You don't have any models installed." %}</p> {% else %} {% if preferences_url %} <div class="module"> <h2>{% trans "Preferences" %}</h2> <ul class="action-menu"> <li><a href="{% url 'admin:preferences' %}">{% trans "Change" %}</a></li> </ul> </div> {% endif %} {% for model in model_list %} {# ... #} {% endfor %} {% endif %} {% endblock %} ``` Note the addition of `{% if preferences_url %}` and `{% url 'admin:preferences' %}`. Here, `preferences_url` is a variable that you need to define in your `urls.py` file, like this: ```python from django.urls import path, reverse_lazy from django.contrib.admin.views.decorators import staff_member_required from django.contrib.admin.sites import AdminSite from .views import PreferencesView class CustomAdminSite(AdminSite): def get_urls(self): urls = super().get_urls() my_urls = path('preferences/', staff_member_required(PreferencesView.as_view()), name='preferences'), return my_urls + urls custom_site = CustomAdminSite(name='myadmin') urlpatterns = path('admin/', custom_site.urls), ``` Note that I've created a custom admin site class `CustomAdminSite` that extends Django's built-in `AdminSite` and overrides the `get_urls` method to add your custom URL. This should solve the issue you're facing and allow you to access your custom admin page at `/admin/preferences/`.,The error is likely due to a conflict between the default Django admin urls and the custom url you have added. The Django admin urls are included before your custom urls, causing Django to search there first and triggering the error when it cannot find the page. To resolve this issue, you should add your custom urls before the Django admin urls in your urls.py file. This will ensure that Django searches your custom urls first. Here is the corrected code: ```python from django.conf.urls import include, url from django.views.generic import TemplateView urlpatterns = url(r'^admin/preferences/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='admin/preferences/preferences.html')), url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls), ``` Furthermore, make sure that you are logged into the admin site before trying to access your custom page. Without authentication, you may be redirected to the login page, which could be causing the error you are seeing. Additionally, ensure your template directory is correctly configured in the settings.py file: ```python TEMPLATES = { ... 'DIRS': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'), ... }, ``` You also need to make sure that Django is aware of the new template. To do this, add the path to your templates directory to the 'DIRS' option in the TEMPLATES setting in your settings.py file. This tells Django where to look for templates.
question:I am trying to save the output of a Pandas dataframe as a PNG image. For instance, after executing the command 'df', I get the following output: ```python >>> df sales net_pft ROE ROIC STK_ID RPT_Date 600809 20120331 22.1401 4.9253 0.1651 0.6656 20120630 38.1565 7.8684 0.2567 1.0385 20120930 52.5098 12.4338 0.3587 1.2867 20121231 64.7876 13.2731 0.3736 1.2205 20130331 27.9517 7.5182 0.1745 0.3723 20130630 40.6460 9.8572 0.2560 0.4290 20130930 53.0501 11.8605 0.2927 0.4369 ``` I'm looking for a method to achieve this, something like 'df.output_as_png(filename='df_data.png')' that can generate a PNG file displaying the content above. Is there any way to do this?
answer:There is no built-in function in pandas to directly convert a dataframe to a PNG image. However, you can leverage the matplotlib and pandas libraries to accomplish this. Here's a step-by-step guide: Firstly, you need to install the 'matplotlib' and 'pandas' libraries. If you haven't installed them already, you can do so using pip: ```bash pip install matplotlib pandas ``` Now, you can use the following code to convert your DataFrame to a figure and then save it as a PNG file: ```python import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import six def render_mpl_table(data, col_width=3.0, row_height=0.625, font_size=14, header_color='#40466e', row_colors='#f1f1f2', 'w', edge_color='w', bbox=0, 0, 1, 1, header_columns=0, ax=None, **kwargs): if ax is None: size = (np.array(data.shape::-1) + np.array(0, 1)) * np.array(col_width, row_height) fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=size) ax.axis('off') mpl_table = ax.table(cellText=data.values, bbox=bbox, colLabels=data.columns, **kwargs) mpl_table.auto_set_font_size(False) mpl_table.set_fontsize(font_size) for k, cell in six.iteritems(mpl_table._cells): cell.set_edgecolor(edge_color) if k0 == 0: cell.set_text_props(weight='bold', color='w') cell.set_facecolor(header_color) else: cell.set_facecolor(row_colorsk0%len(row_colors)) return ax render_mpl_table(df, header_columns=0, col_width=2.0) plt.savefig('df_data.png') ``` In the above code, 'render_mpl_table' function creates a table with your DataFrame and 'savefig' will save the figure as a PNG file. You can adjust the table's appearance by changing the parameters of 'render_mpl_table'.,Yes, there is a way to achieve this using the matplotlib package along with Pandas. You can use the following code to export your pandas dataframe to a PNG file: ```python import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Assuming df is your DataFrame plt.figure() df.plot(kind='bar', figsize=(10,6)) plt.savefig('df_data.png') ``` This will create a figure with your DataFrame as a bar plot. Kindly make sure to install the matplotlib package if you haven't already using `pip install matplotlib`. This should solve your problem., To save the output of a Pandas dataframe as an image, you can use the `Styler.to_image()` method, which allows you to render the dataframe as an image. However, it is important to note that this method only supports the following image formats: `PNG`, `JPEG`, `SVG`, and `REact`. In your case, you can use the `to_image()` method to save the dataframe as a PNG file. Here's an example of how you can do that: ```python import pandas as pd # Create a sample dataframe df = pd.DataFrame({ 'sales': 22.1401, 38.1565, 52.5098, 64.7876, 27.9517, 40.6460, 53.0501, 'net_pft': 4.9253, 7.8684, 12.4338, 13.2731, 7.5182, 9.8572, 11.8605, 'ROE': 0.1651, 0.2567, 0.3587, 0.3736, 0.1745, 0.2560, 0.2927, 'ROIC': 0.6656, 1.0385, 1.2867, 1.2205, 0.3723, 0.4290, 0.4369 }, index=pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples((600809, f"20120331 + str(i * 3)") for i in range(7), names="STK_ID", "RPT_Date")) # Save the dataframe as a PNG image df.style.to_image(filename="df_data.png", format="png") ``` This will create a PNG file called `df_data.png` in the current directory, displaying the content of the dataframe. Note that `Styler.to_image()` only supports simple formatting, so if you need more advanced formatting, you might need to use a different library like Matplotlib or Seaborn to generate the image.
question:What does the character sequence '%7D' represent in a URL query? I have a web application that functions correctly when accessed with the URL '/vi/5907399890173952.html'. However, when Googlebot tries to access a similar URL, '/vi/5907399890173952.html%7D%7D', it generates an exception. How can I handle this as an exception? The error message from Python is: ``` /vi/5251302833520640.html%7D%7D 404 20ms 0kb Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) module=default version=release140319 66.249.67.109 - - 19/Mar/2014:07:53:32 -0700 "GET /vi/5251302833520640.html%7D%7D HTTP/1.1" 404 84 - "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" ms=21 cpu_ms=0 cpm_usd=0.000009 app_engine_release=1.9.1 instance=00c61b117c0bc0f980f2a37a6ac534786055d3ab E 2014-03-19 15:53:32.678 get() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given) ``` For the URL, I am using the regex `('/vi/(d+)(.html?)?', NewHandler)`. I believe the issue may be stemming from a jinja2 template, specifically `{{scored_document.fields.0.value|safe}}`, that I patched with an additional `}`.
answer:The character sequence '%7D' in a URL query is the URL-encoded form of the right curly brace '}'. When this URL is matched with your regex ('/vi/(d+)(.html?)?'), the matched groups would be ('5251302833520640', '.html'). The extra '%7D%7D' at the end of the URL is not matched by your regex, and it seems to be causing an issue in your web application. To handle this as an exception, you have a few options: 1. Modify the regex to match URLs with extra characters at the end, such as '%7D%7D'. For example, you could use the regex '(/vi/(d+)(.html?)?).*' to match any characters after the '.html' part. 2. Ignore any unexpected characters after the '.html' part in your web application's handler method. You can use the following Python code to extract the numeric ID from the URL, even if there are extra characters after it: ```python import re url_path = '/vi/5251302833520640.html%7D%7D' match = re.search('/vi/(d+).html', url_path) numeric_id = int(match.group(1)) ``` 3. If you suspect that the extra '%7D%7D' is being added by a specific user agent (in this case, Googlebot), you could add a special case in your web application's handler to check for this and handle it appropriately. For example: ```python user_agent = request.headers.get('User-Agent', '') if user_agent == 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)': url_path = request.path.rstrip('/') # remove any trailing slashes match = re.search('/vi/(d+).html', url_path) if match: numeric_id = int(match.group(1)) # handle the matched ID here else: # handle the case where the ID is missing or invalid else: # handle the case for all other user agents here ``` Regarding the issue you mentioned about a Jinja2 template with an additional '}', if that is causing the problem, you may want to review the code that generates the URLs in your application to ensure that they are being constructed correctly and that there are no stray characters being added. If necessary, you can modify the template to ensure that it generates the correct URLs. For example, if the Jinja2 template is currently: ```jinja <a href="{{scored_document.fields.0.value|safe}}">link text</a> ``` and you suspect that the `scored_document.fields.0.value` value may contain an extra '}', you could modify the template as follows: ```jinja {% set url = scored_document.fields.0.value|safe %} {% if url-2: == '}}' %} {% set url = url:-2 %} {% endif %} <a href="{{ url }}">link text</a> ``` This code snippet checks if the URL ends with '}}' and removes those characters if they are present. Note that this is just an example, and you should verify that removing the extra '}' character is the correct thing to do in your specific use case.,The character '}' has a special meaning in URLs and is used to escape other special characters. When the character '}' is placed before a string of characters, it is used to continue a parameter value in a URL. However, when the character '}' appears at the end of a parameter value, it becomes a special character itself and needs to be escaped. In the URL '/vi/5907399890173952.html%7D%7D', the '%7D' represents the '}' character in the URL. The error message in the question suggests that the correct URL should be '/vi/5907399890173952.html', and '/vi/5907399890173952.html%7D%7D' is an incorrect URL that your application likely cannot handle. The error message "get() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)" indicates that the URL parser is not expecting the '%7D' character and is treating it as an argument in the URL. If the error is originating from a Jinja2 template, as you suspect, then the line `{{scored_document.fields.0.value|safe}}` could be causing the issue. It's possible that the string is not being properly escaped or modified in the template. However, without more information about the template and the surrounding code, it's difficult to diagnose the exact issue. To handle this exception in the code, you can add a check to handle incorrect URLs. Here's an example of how you might do this: ```python import urllib.parse def handle_question(url): try: _, _, query_string = urllib.parse.urlpartition(url) # Process the query string, checking for '}' characters or other problems. except Exception as e: print(f'Invalid URL: {url}') print(f'Error: {e}') ``` When a URL is passed to this function, it first attempts to process the query string. If the URL is incorrect, such as in the case of '/vi/5907399890173952.html%7D%7D', it will raise an exception. Inside the except block, you can then handle the error, such as by logging the error or sending a response to the user. This would allow you to better identify and handle issues with incoming URLs in your application.,The character sequence '%7D' in a URL represents the '}' character. This is the URL-encoded version of '}' (URL encoding reference: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp). In your case, it appears that the URL '/vi/5907399890173952.html%7D%7D' is causing an error because the additional '%7D%7D' (or '}}') at the end of the URL is not accounted for in your regex. Your regex `('/vi/(d+)(.html?)?', NewHandler)` only expects digits after '/vi/' and optionally '.html'. To handle this as an exception, you can modify your URL pattern regex to include the possibility of '}' at the end or you can handle it in your `NewHandler` code. Here is an example of how you could modify your regex: ```python ('/vi/(d+)(.html?)?(%7D)*', NewHandler) ``` This modified regex looks for optional '%7D' at the end of the URL. On the other hand, if you've found that the issue is coming from a jinja2 template, you can make sure to escape any '}' characters in your templates to prevent them from being appended to your URLs. You need to ensure that the data you're inserting with `{{scored_document.fields.0.value|safe}}` doesn't have any '}' characters. For example, you could use: ```python {{ scored_document.fields.0.value|safe|replace("}", "%7D") }} ``` This will replace any '}' characters with their URL-encoded equivalent before they're inserted into the HTML.
