Lorenz Attractor using Python 2.7 and Vpython Module on Mac OS X Lion

From Blogsy Photos
Lorenz attractor's generated by three nonlinear simultaneous equation.

x1=x0+h*a*(y0-x0)
y1=y0+h*(x0*(b-z0)-y0)
z1=z0+h*(x0*y0-c*z0)

 
where

a=10
b=28
c=8./4.

We can play with a,b and c to see the effect.

Here the code to visualize Lorenz attractor on Python. We need VPython module to visualize it.


from visual import *
from operator import mod
jl=1.
h=0.01
a=10
b=28
c=8./4.
x0=0.1
y0=0
z0=0
n=10000.
r=1.
while jl < n:
rate(1000)
rd=mod(n,jl)/1000
sphere(pos=(x0,y0,z0),radius=r, color=(rd,1,rd))
x1=x0+h*a*(y0-x0)
y1=y0+h*(x0*(b-z0)-y0)
z1=z0+h*(x0*y0-c*z0)
jl=jl+1
x0=x1
y0=y1
z0=z1


Since Vpython's not support 64bit platform, we must execute the code using 32-bit python like this

Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:cellular nugroho$ python2.7-32 lorenz.py

The Journey of Installing Matplotlib Python on Mac OS X Lion (continued)

To install Matplotlib, I have to install numpy first. To install numpy, I need GCC. Lion installer package didn't come with XCode, it has to be downloaded separately from MacAppStore for free. I don't dare to even trying it with my sluggish itnternet connection, so I tried others possibility without success untill I found my SnowLeopard DVD.

Finally, I am able to install GCC. I used XCode 3.2 on Snow Leopard DVD in Lion, :). So, the journey is continue…

Check (just for show off, :))

Now install numpy, oh no… look at this.

It's look like my gcc think it's on Snow Leopard platform, :(. But, there is small hope; the error warning just mentions permission, hm, how about sudo?

ok, let's try again

Creating Django Apps on OS X Lion 10.7.2

As this is my first time using Django, I have to take care of some initial setup. Namely, I’ll need to auto-generate some code that establishes a Django project – a collection of settings for an instance of Django, including database configuration, Django-specific options and application-specific settings.


From the command line, cd into a directory where you’d like to store your code, I use my python directory,then run the following command:
django-admin.py startproject mysite
This will create a mysite directory in my python. Here tho result.
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:python nugroho$ pwd
/Users/nugroho/python
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:python nugroho$ ls
appender.py distribute-0.6.24.tar.gz graphy graphy.pyc
apprunner.py f.py graphy.py
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:python nugroho$ django-admin.py startproject mysite
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:python nugroho$ ls
appender.py distribute-0.6.24.tar.gz graphy graphy.pyc
apprunner.py f.py graphy.py mysite
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:python nugroho$ cd mysite/
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:mysite nugroho$ ls
__init__.py manage.py settings.py urls.py
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:mysite nugroho$
These files in mysite directory are:
__init__.py: An empty file that tells Python that this directory should be considered a Python package. (Read more about packages in the official Python docs if you're a Python beginner.)
manage.py: A command-line utility that lets you interact with this Django project in various ways. You can read all the details about manage.py in django-admin.py and manage.py.
settings.py: Settings/configuration for this Django project. Django settings will tell you all about how settings work.
urls.py: The URL declarations for this Django project; a "table of contents" of your Django-powered site. You can read more about URLs in URL dispatcher.
To verify that it works do this
Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:mysite nugroho$ python manage.py runserver
Validating models...


0 errors found
Django version 1.3.1, using settings 'mysite.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
Yup, it works…
Try to access http://127.0.0.1:8000 with your browser, :)

Django Python Module on OS X Lion 10.7.2

As python programmer, I wish I could build a web using it too. I used to use CMS based portal, but eventually I want python thing in my site. Fortunately, it can be done, using Django.

According it site, Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/) is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Developed by a fast-moving online-news operation, Django was designed to handle two challenges: the intensive deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of the experienced Web developers who wrote it. It lets you build high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly.

So I finally give it a try, it isn't hurt anyway, :). Installing Django in my Python 2.7 on my 13' Macbook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.2 is fairly easy, using pip from pypi (pypi.python.org/). All I have to do is typing in terminal: pip install django. Of course, we need pip to be installed first.

Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:python nugroho$ pip django

Double Tap Dragging on Lion


I wrote about missing single-tap-hold on Lion to dragging. However, after googling around, I found that it's still has capability to do it, just you will find it at the most unpredictable place in System Preferences

To enable one finger drag by double-tap-hold, go to System Preferences, click on Universal Access, and then the Mouse & Trackpad tab. Click on the “Trackpad Options…” at the bottom section of window. Enable dragging option; we can select the desired dragging behaviour from the drop down list. I wonder why this preference is here, not on trackpad section instead.

Lion have more Finger Gesture than Snow Leopard


Migrating from Snow Leopard to Lion is confusing and annoying but fun experience. One feature of Lion that I noticed very much is new finger gesture as it's a whole different experience than Snow Leopard.



I noticed first bad feeling when I browsing through Safari and can't double-tap-hold todragging a text to highlight it. I think, oh my God, my trackpad is broken. Calming down, go to preferences panel. I can't find double tap option, hm. Drag n Drop now can be done by three finger, uh. Highlighting text using three finger seems wrong to me. So, no double-tap-hold. (edit: there is double-tap-hold )

Two finger gesture to scroll and zoom is intact. Hm, not really. Scroll direction now has default option to 'natural', iPad like scroll.

No Exposé or Space, just Mission Control. Mission Control contain apps on current active desktop, just like Exposé, and all full screen apps, including other desktop.

Sweeping down four finger now show windows from same apps while sweeping up bring us to Mission Control. Sweeping left or right will bring us to next full screen apps (Desktop's treated as fullscreen apps).

A new gesture is pinching with four finger; pinching down will bring up Launchpad, an apps list just like iOS. A reverse pinching, spread (not sure what it's named), will push all windows to side to show Desktop.

I'm a bit missing the time when I could switch apps by sweeping down my four finger. Moving apps through spaces has gone too, but I guess it's a sacrifice to be able jump too next step.
