Flickr Random Image Picker

P6216480
Annecy.France

It's a small tool written to randomly show my photos from flickr. I quite enjoy viewing photos in this way. It helped me to discover photos that I didn't notice before. However, there are some limitations to it:
1. in current configuration, 10 photos will be shown every time I launch it. it takes too much time to do so. I have to wait for tens of seconds or even longer.
2. in GUI version, no thread is implemented, so the UI is blocked after the button is pressed.

To make it better, I did some minor changes:
1. create a thread for fetching photos from flickr, and use wx events to post event to htmlwindow. Don't know how to use lock or mutex under python yet, though...
import threading
from time import sleep

(FetchDoneEvent, EVT_FETCH_DONE) = wx.lib.newevent.NewEvent()

class FetchThread(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self,w):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
# windows for posting events
self.w = w

def run (self):
fi = None
for x in range(10):
print x
if fi == None:
(content,fi) = fetch_photo()
else:
content = fetch_photo(fi)

evt = FetchDoneEvent(source=content)
while (self.w.loading):
sleep(0.5)
wx.PostEvent(self.w, evt)

class MyHtmlWindow(html.HtmlWindow):
def __init__(self, parent, id ):
html.HtmlWindow.__init__(self, parent, id, style=wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)
self.Bind(EVT_FETCH_DONE, self.OnFetchDone)
self.loading = 0

def OnLinkClicked(self, linkinfo):
import os
os.startfile(linkinfo.GetHref())

def OnFetchDone(self, e):
#self.LoadPage("myflickr.html")
self.loading = 1
if self.start_fetching != 1:
self.AppendToPage(e.source)
else:
self.SetPage(e.source)
self.start_fetching = 0
self.loading = 0

class SimpleFrame(wx.Frame):

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
...

def OnButtonClicked(self,e):
FetchThread(w=self.html).start()
self.html.SetPage("

Fetching......

")
self.html.start_fetching = 1
2. add a function to only return a photo info at a time, instead of returning a html file with 10 photo infos.
def fetch_photo(fi=None):
print 'fetch_photo'
if fi == None:
fi = FlickrIndex(API_KEY, SECRET_KEY, MY_USER_ID)
return fi.print_random_photos(10),fi
else:
return fi.print_random_photos(10)

跨界通訊 - 陳又津

昨天從圖書館借的書,一口氣把它看完了。很特別的題材,在講老人的社會問題,以及人為什麼不行自行決定生死,只能在醫院拖著已經殘破不堪的身體,直到最後短氣的那一刻。 書中還有提到想成為女生的男生,以及透過網路可以達到的一些社群效果。算是把一些現代的元素組合得蠻好的作品。 推薦。
