[Federico A. <ari...@gm...>]

Skip,

That's exactly what I was referring to.

I check PEP8 and there is no mention of unused variables.

The convention is to use a simple _.

 mode, _, dev, nlink, uid, gid, size, _, _, _ = os.stat("/etc/hosts")

But leading underscores like this are only used as attributes of
classes. I believe the OP was asking about unused local variables.
Something more like this:

    mode, _ino, dev, nlink, uid, gid, size, _atime, _mtime, _ctime =
os.stat("/etc/hosts")

Re: [matplotlib-devel] unused variables

[Ryan M. <rm...@gm...>]

Hi,

I don't think a leading _ is the way to go, because that's a common
convention for internal class variables--property variables that you don't
intend to be part of any supported API.
Personally, I've always just called things like this "junk" or "unused",
but I know that's not as nice as having a symbolic notation.

While Eric indicates there is no policy, for the Python parts of your
code, I recommend you follow whatever the default is that pylint or
one of the other lint-like checkers recommend. Pylint likes a leading
underscore, but if you have a different natural preference, I
recommend you post your query at cod...@py.... It's where
all the cool static checker folk hang out. I haven't read PEP 8 in a

Not yet.

That might be a good convention.  I don't particularly like a bare "_" 
because it is uninformative and visually a bit jarring.  Even if a 
variable is unused, it is nice to have a slight hint in its name as to 
what it is.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Developer summit at Scipy?

[Nelle V. <nel...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've not been very active in the development of matplotlib these past
few months, but I'll answer anyways.
I'll be at Scipy this year, but I won't be able to stay after the
sprints. I have another conference right after.

Cheers,
N

[matplotlib-devel] unused variables

[Federico A. <ari...@gm...>]

Hello everybody

Stupid simple question
Is there a policy/tradition/convention to name unused variables inside the code?

Even better, if I see '''var''', can I replace it with '''_var''' and
nobody is going to complain?

I use eclipse and it complains about that (I like that it warns me). I
just wanted to know if I should just disable the warning when working
on matplotlib.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Add labels to points to aid data exploration

[Matt S. <ma...@pl...>]

Hey Raphael,

Jake Vanderplas has been working on mpld3 <https://github.com/mpld3>, which
lets you create D3 renderings of matplotlib graphs. We (Plotly<http://plot.ly>)
are working with him on a matplotlib
exporter<https://github.com/mpld3/mplexporter>that lets you make
interactive, online, labels/text on the hover Plotly
graphs with matplotlib. Here is an IPython Notebook showing how to do that:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/theengineear/mplexporter/blob/master/notebooks/PlotlyTest.ipynb?create=1

We're early on still, and Jake is definitely the driving force/mastermind
behind the project. We're hoping to support more and more plotting from
matplotlib and would love help, tips, feedback, and suggestions. We're
happy to talk more if you'd like.

Thanks a bunch,
M

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Add labels to points to aid data exploration

[Raphael C <dr...@gm...>]

Thank you that is good to know. From my personal point of view I was
just interested in a view simple form of interactivity. That is the
ability to click on data points and see their labels.  I have to say
mpldatacursor is very nice and does precisely this. It however has
some disadvantages.

a) It's not possible to save the current state of your interactive
visualisation to send to someone else (except as a snapshot png).
b) Due to its dependencies it is also hard to send your code to
someone else as they are unlikely to have the dependencies to get it
to work. This would be solved by having the functionality in something
standard like matplotlib.
c) There appears to be only one contributor currently. (I could be
wrong about this last point.)

[matplotlib-devel] Add labels to points to aid data exploration

[Raphael C <dr...@gm...>]

I posted this to https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/2856
but it was suggested that the mailing list was a better place.

I am plotting a simple graph with many points. I would like to explore
the data by clicking on some of them to see what their labels are
(much as I can already in R). I don't want to see all the labels at
once. Currently the only solution I found was mpldatacursor. Is this
feature something interesting to matplotlib developers or even being
currently worked on?

[matplotlib-devel] mpl_toolkits tests module not included in install

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

I was just about to put together a PR to whitelist the test_mplot3d.py so
that Travis would do these tests by default, when I discovered that the
test wasn't even available via the packaged install.

In setupext.py, we have a mpl_toolkits OptionalPackage as well as a tests
OptionalPackage, which are tests for mpl proper, and not mpl_toolkits.
Should the tests for mpl_toolkits be considered a separate OptionalPackage
with dependencies on mpl_toolkits and tests?

I am already pushing the amount of free time I have to work on this,
unfortunately.

Cheers!

[matplotlib-devel] Developer summit at Scipy?

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

How many matplotlib developers are planning to attend SciPy this year?

If we used some of our funds to support an extra hotel night, would any 
of you be interested in spending an extra day for a "matplotlib 
developer summit" to discuss matplotlib projects?  This would be in 
addition to the sprints, which I see probably being a larger group. Your 
response isn't a committment at this point, I'm just trying to gauge how 
much interest there might be.

Mike

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Radio silence about the 1.4.0 release...

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

To this end, I have renamed the current 1.4.x milestone -> 1.4.0 and
created a new 1.4.x mile stone.  Issues that are bug
fixes/enhancements that should target the _next_ maintenance release,
but may not get into shape in the very near future should be moved to
the new mile stone.

Do we want to do a 1.3.2 at the same time?

Unless someone else really wants to do this, I will volunteer.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Download links on 'installing' page?

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

Thanks.  This link never got moved over after github shut down their 
download service.  Your PR looks correct to me.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] is R wrong? (boxplot)

[Matt S. <ma...@pl...>]

Hey all,

I thought I'd throw out that a tool I'm working on, Plotly <http://plot.ly>,
also does box plots with the option to show jittered points. Instead of
passing in stats you pass in an array of values.

Here is a notebook with the box plots with jitter:
nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/fperez/8930306.

You can also view the mean of the array (the dashed line), +/- 1.5 standard
deviations around the median, and the outliers of the set (the hollow
points): https://plot.ly/~ChrisPP/49.

More generally, we're hoping to soon let folks convert matplotlib scripts
into a Plotly graph (GitHub
Issue<https://github.com/plotly/python-api/issues/3>).
We'd love your advice and thoughts.

Thanks a bunch,
M

[matplotlib-devel] Download links on 'installing' page?

[Matthew B. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just noticed that the installation page points to the old github
download page:

http://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/downloads

I think it should point to the website download page:

http://matplotlib.org/downloads.html

Is that right?

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2821

If so - what should happen to the github downloads page?

Cheers,

Matthew

[matplotlib-devel] Radio silence about the 1.4.0 release...

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

I'm well aware that we were scheduled to get a 1.4.0 release out in 
January.  Unfortunately, other work commitments and travel have kept me 
from matplotlib over recent weeks, and it doesn't look like it's going 
to get much better in the short term either.  If anyone wants to 
volunteer to take up the release manager role this time around, I, for 
one, would certainly be appreciative.  But if no one else is available, 
I'd be glad for any help "around the edges".

The time consuming part of making the release is triaging all of the 
pending bugs and pull requests.  It looks like we have 62 for 1.4.x and 
another 12 on 1.3.x at the moment.  Then ideally we make sure all 
important changes are in What's New.

Beyond that, the release is essentially mechanical and pretty well 
documented (though the new wrinkle this time around is uploading files 
to PyPI since pip is no longer trusting of files on SourceForge).

Mike
