Remember Larry?

Tomorrow the weather forecast says rain, so just to remember how much snow it has been the past weeks I did create this post. Actually the amount of snow is making it a hard time for the tractor to get through it, almost like sugar it just spins – no traction.

Memories – almost no Xmas at home in 2017

Close call on the 23’rd of December 2017, luckily we had another set of lights as well

Saw this one a while ago when out running…not able to pick it up, that’s for sure

Not your everyday first aid kit

January 19, 2018 Anything but the other

After last weekend, running for three days has its drawbacks, damaged toe nails is one of them, and this time I had to use a first aid kit I have not used before. Actually the valentines present I gave Elin a year or two back – the Bosch gsr 10 8-2-li

A bit of warning, but maybe to late anyhow, but Elin felt sick after I had shown her my nail. The 2mm drill made a perfect little hole which let out a lot of pressure, now the nail ain’t that painfull anymore.

The nail to the left was damaged last year when doing Icebug Xperience

Python – gzip has no attribute open

January 19, 2018 Work/Geek

Did try the following
import gzip f = gzip.open('myfile.gz','rb')
But then got the error

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'open'

What I really should have done was to read the whole error stack

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gzip.py", line 1, in module
    import gzip
  File "d:\test-py\gzip.py", line 13, in 
    fileHandler = gzip.open(pathToGzFile)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'open'module

While testing I had named my file

gzip.py

causing Python to believe that I meant “import the script I am testing”. Renamed the file to testgzip.py and it all works fine (name can be whatever, but do not name the file the same as a module you are importing)

During this I found a nice way to pretty print (pprint) the attributes of a module/object in Python, see StackOverflow
