Behavior of staticmethod in Python 3

+2 votes
209 views

In Python 3 the following two classes should be equivalent:

$ cat foo.py
class Foo:
 def foo():
 pass
 print(callable(foo))

class Foo:
 @staticmethod
 def foo():
 pass
 print(callable(foo))

But they do not:

$ python3 foo.py
True
False

How come the metaclass does not skip the staticmethod decorator?

error of drawing map from shape file in Python 3.2 basemap

I am working on drawing map from shape file in Python 3.2 basemap. But, the longitude values at the bottom axis are only shown partially. Also, all latitude values are missing.

Here is my python code.

import shapefile as sf
import sys
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap

 map = Basemap(projection='stere', lon_0=-106.4, lat_0= 31.9, lat_ts = 31.9, 
 llcrnrlat=31.7, urcrnrlat= 31.85, 
 llcrnrlon=-106.5 , urcrnrlon= -106.1, 
 rsphere=6371200., resolution='l', area_thresh=1000)

 plt.figure(num=None, figsize=(10, 8), dpi=80, facecolor='w', edgecolor='k')

parallels = np.arange(31.7, 31.85, 0.25)

map.drawparallels(parallels, labels=[0, 0, 0, 1] , fontsize=10, labelstyle='+/-', dashes=[2, 2])

meridians = np.arange (-106.5, -106.1, 0.25)

map.drawmeridians(meridians, labels=[0, 0, 0, 1], fontsize=10, labelstyle='+/-' , dashes=[2, 2])

No matter how I changed the labels, the latitude/longitude legend values are still missing.

How to resume a file download in Python 3?

I would like to download a file. If the connection is OK, I can download the file with:

import urllib.request
urllib.request.urlretrieve(remote_file, local_file)

Sometimes when I am connected on week wireless (not mine) network I get WinError 10054 exception (windows 7). When it happens, I would like to resume download instead of doing everything from very beginning.

How to do that? I read about Range header and chunks, but this server doesn't have any headers.
What options do I have with this particular file?
