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)

乩童警探 一二集

接連看了兩集。第一集還算新鮮,到了第二集就看得比較慢了。一來,劇情雖然常會提到乩童,但真的跟乩童又沒有什麼關係。第二集後半大概就猜出是怎麼一回事了,但還是很享受在作者解釋的過程。只是前面舖陳有點久,而且人物有點多,再加上我是斷斷續續的看,看到後來都快忘了誰是誰,或是誰曾經出過什麼...
