Apgs3arch 0

Do not run Python from the command line or any normal application. It needs to be run from within Golly using File>Run Script

Oh my, now it says:

I believe that's an error you'll get trying to run Python 2.x code using Python 3.x.

I don't believe anyone has ever ported that ancient most version of apgsearch to Python 3.x, so you'd have to install Python 2.x (or port the code) if you wanted to get that working.

I ported the code in python3, it`s called apgs3arch, to download, run

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/lk050807/apg3earch.git

Or see https://github.com/lk050807/apg3earch/b ... /README.md for more.

Looks like it's still just one Python script file, so it could be copied and pasted straight off of this page -- once it's in working order.

But ... what does "alpha" mean, exactly? Has this code actually ever been run successfully?

I'm having trouble so far with time.clock() calls, which are deprecated in Python 3.8. I've replaced them with time.process_time() -- not sure yet if I should really be using time.perf_counter() instead, but at least those errors go away.

Unfortunately those errors get replaced with some uglier errors (on my Windows 11 system with Python 3.12 on it):

This is a standard Python2-to-Python3 error, of the kind that still happens after you run a 2to3 code conversion. Does that mean that the code currently in the repo was just run through 2to3, without any actual test execution attempts?

[very]

Here's a version that should work though I haven't tested uploading to Catagolue yet.

It is approximately 60 times slower than the C++ version.

EDIT: The new server is catagolue.hatsya.com, not catagolue.appspot.com.

The searching and censusing seems to work fine. The script sanitizes inputs such that no matter how low a number you give for soups per haul, you'll get a minimum of 100,000.

It doesn't take very long to reach that number of soups. But at least on my system, I'm seeing a brief flash of the message

"Authenticating with Catagolue via the payosha256 protocol..."

but I don't seem to see that a token is successfully retrieved, and my trial 100000-soup censuses don't seem to be getting uploaded. I haven't tried troubleshooting further than that yet.

I`m not using 2to3, it is because I`m not a good Python programer.
