sort file removing duplicates possible?

[Claudia Frank]

@patrickdrd

what does the sys.path report?

D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\lib
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\scripts
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\lib-tk
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\python27.zip
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\DLLs
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib\plat-win
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib\lib-tk
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++

[Claudia Frank]

The correct one is

D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\lib-tk

but those

D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib\plat-win
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib\lib-tk

are strange, could it be that you unzipped only part of tk packages into
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\ ?

Can you check if you have the following files under D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\lib-tk

Canvas.py
Dialog.py
FileDialog.py
FixTk.py
ScrolledText.py
SimpleDialog.py
Tix.py
tkColorChooser.py
tkCommonDialog.py
Tkconstants.py
Tkdnd.py
tkFileDialog.py
tkFont.py
Tkinter.py
tkMessageBox.py
tkSimpleDialog.py
ttk.py
turtle.py

You might see additional files with extension pyc - that’s ok.

If you do have the files, delete the D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib directory.
If you don’t have the files under D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib\lib-tk but
within D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib then cut D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib and paste it into
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\

[patrickdrd]

I can’t find either D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\lib-tk or D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\lib folder in explorer!

[Claudia Frank]

so how did you install Tcl/Tk libraries?

Cheers
Claudia

[patrickdrd]

I extracted the zip of course, the folder you say is in:
d:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\tcl\lib-tk\

both in zip file and my explorer!

[patrickdrd]

I’ve just read guy038’s post and I’m more confused :S

I downloaded the file again and now it’s Last modified: 02 Jun 2018 16:00 UTC
and 69930 results,
sorting with insensitive (ue and textfx) yields 69284 and the output should be similar,
so I should be satisfied by that consensus I guess?

[Claudia Frank]

@patrickdrd

the easylist file is adblocker file it will change consistently.

Regarding the Tcl/Tk installation - you should have unzipped it into
D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\ directory.

The zip contains the complete folder hierachy - as you see on the left side (archive tree)

if you did this you normally got a message saying that the plugins folder already exists and
if you want it to overwrite -> you should have answered this with yes, didn’t you?

Cheers
Claudia

[patrickdrd]

yep, that’s what I got https://imgur.com/a/xNQB5Gn

[Claudia Frank]

@patrickdrd

took some time to understand the difference.
You do have
…\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\tcl\lib-tk
where I do have
…\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\lib-tk

so the error makes sense as it can’t be found in …\lib\lib-tk

You could try to add the following to your user startup.py script

import sys
sys.path.append(r'D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\tcl\lib-tk')

and restart npp and do another import Tkinter test.

Cheers
Claudia

[patrickdrd]

ok thanks, first thing tomorrow with the morning coffee
:-D

[guy038]

Hi, @patrickdrd, and All,

Just for info, doing again my tests ( Last modified: 02 Jun 2018 17:23 UTC ) with N++ sort, followed by the regex S/R, I obtained :

• Original file : 69931 lines

• With regex A ( sensitive ) : 69852 lines ( so, 65 lines deleted, in 56 matches )

• With regex B ( insensitive ) : 69817 lines ( so, 100 lines deleted, in 88 matches )

• With TextFX sort, at column 1, with the option Sort outputs only UNIQUE (at column) lines, it produced a 69285 lines file ( so, 646 lines deleted )

---

Now, @patrickdrd, I don’t want you to be confused, with my explanations ! I just pointed out the fact that depending of the different ways and softwares, used to remove duplicates lines, you must expect different results ! My solution using first, N++ sort and , secondly, a regex S/R may not give the correct results, because it’s based on comparing consecutive lines, previously sorted !

And , probably, the TextFX plugin, ( whose I don’t know the sort logic ! ) other software, and the last sorter.py script, from @claudia-frank, will produce best results :-))

Finally, I’m thinking that a correct script to delete duplicates lines should not rely on any sort and just compares two individual lines, at a time ! In other words, any line should simply be compared, successively, with each other line of the file !

Cheers,

guy038

P.S. :

BTW, I confirm that the TextFX sort tool, as N++ sort, seems stable : after running it 5 times, the ouput files, produced , are totally identical :-)

@Claudia-Frank still doesn’t work:

File “<console>”, line 1, in <module>
File “D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\tcl\lib-tk\Tkinter.py ”, line 39, in <module>
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter

[Claudia Frank]

@patrickdrd

can you please run the following code in the python script console and check the output?

import os; print '\n'.join(os.listdir(r'plugins\PythonScript\lib\tcl'))

If you have something similar to me

dde1.3
lib-tk     <--- this is important
reg1.2
tcl
tcl8
tcl8.5
tcl85x.dll     <--- this is important
tcl85x.lib
tclConfig.sh
tclpip85x.dll     <--- this is important
tclstub85.lib
tk8.5
tk85x.dll     <--- this is important
tk85x.lib
tkstub85.lib
_tkinter.pyd     <--- this is important

you have to add another path to sys.path so that you have the following in your startup.py

import sys
sys.path.append(r'D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\tcl')	
sys.path.append(r'D:\Utilities\PortableApps\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\lib\tcl\lib-tk')	

After restarting notepad++, PS should be able to use Tkinter to build windows.
If you don’t have the dlls etc… or it is still not working, can you please post the output from the os.listdir… ?

Cheers
Claudia

[patrickdrd]

still not

dde1.3
lib-tk
reg1.2
tcl
tcl8
tcl8.5
tclConfig.sh
tk8.5
_tkinter.pyd

[patrickdrd]

import worked but sorter not:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This probably means that Tcl wasn’t installed properly.

what’s that double lib in the first path?

[patrickdrd]

maybe we should quit?

I’ll be using textfx’s (insensitive) sort and tcl/tkinter seems so unbelievably awkward to setup!

[Claudia Frank]

Hi Patrick,

maybe we should quit?

For the time being, you are right.
The tcl/tk packages as well as python script internally do have
an issue which needs to be solved. I can’t say when but it should be solved
in near future.

I will keep you updated once I successfully tested with a fixed version of
the tcl/tk packages in this thread, if you want.

Then, hopefully, it should be just a matter of unzipping the packages
to the right folder and setting the appropriate paths.

Cheers
Claudia

[patrickdrd]

yes, of course, I’m interested,

maybe you should zip your own folder (and files) regarding tcl and upload it somewhere for me to download? because I saw there are inconsistencies between different tcl zip downloads

[Claudia Frank]

@patrickdrd

I’m running a modified 64bit version (one of the reasons I didn’t notice that a clean
install does have issues) which uses modified versions of packages so I assume this isn’t
really a solution but might be another source of confusion.

I’m in contact with @chcg - let’s see what we can do to get this fixed soon.

Cheers
Claudia
