trace32 python api read memory address - how? - python

I am trying to use a python script to read from memory through trace32. I've found the following document: https://www2.lauterbach.com/pdf/api_remote.pdf
I managed the following code:
local_buffer = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_uint32)
t32api.T32_ReadMemory(byteAddress=addr, access=0x0, buffer=local_buffer, size=size)
print(local_buffer)
Of course there is an initialization of the t32api object - that works. But the code I pasted here causes the following python error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<path_to_python_script>", line 599, in <module>
main()
File "<path_to_python_script>", line 590, in main
process()
File "<path_to_python_script>", line 269, in process
NumberOfEmpr = read_addr(0xf0083100)
File "<path_to_python_script>", line 148, in read_addr
return read_addr_t32(addr, size)
File "<path_to_python_script>", line 137, in read_addr_t32
t32api.T32_ReadMemory(byteAddress=addr, access=0x0, buffer=local_buffer, size=size)
OSError: exception: access violation writing 0xXXXXXXXX
Of course 0xXXXXXXXX is a placeholder to some address, I am guessing it is the address of local_buffer.
If anyone knows how to fix this I will be thankful.

The problem is that the buffer pointer you give to T32_ReadMemory() should not only be a pointer but should be a pointer to existing memory.
So you need to change
local_buffer = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_uint32)
t32api.T32_ReadMemory(byteAddress=addr, access=0x0, buffer=local_buffer, size=size)
print(local_buffer)
to
local_buffer = (ctypes.c_ubyte * size)()
t32api.T32_ReadMemory(byteAddress=addr, access=0x0, buffer=local_buffer, size=size)
print(local_buffer)
Two remarks independent of your problem:
I would suggest to use T32_ReadMemoryObj() instead of T32_ReadMemory().
Check trace32_and_python.pdf. New TRACE32 version include a Python module which you can just import.

error creating nbt file that includes nbt.tag.List file

I am creating a nbt file whose root has two tags:
DataVersion. It must be a tag_Int.
size. You must set a tag_List of 3 tag_ints.
I did a few tests and determined that an error occurs when I try to pass a tag_List to the file.
This is my code:
import nbtlib as nbt
class Structure(nbt.File):
def __init__(Self, data_version, size):
#super().__init__({"DataVersion":nbt.Int(data_version), "size":nbt.List(map(nbt.Int, size))})
super().__init__({"DataVersion":nbt.Int(data_version), "size":nbt.List(map(nbt.Int, size))})
structure = Structure(data_version=1952, size=(0, 0, 0))
structure.save("prueba.nbt")
This is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\studios dante 2\MODULES\Games\structurenbt\module.py", line 10, in <module>
structure.save("prueba.nbt")
File "C:\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\nbtlib\nbt.py", line 132, in save

File "C:\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\nbtlib\tag.py", line 84, in write_numeric
buff.write(fmt[byteorder].pack(value))
struct.error: required argument is not an integer
Can someone help me to fix the problem? I use python 3.8
I already fixed it, turns out I had the nbtlib out of date. I updated it and it works!

ImportError: No module named __main__ (Python 2.7 & Pickle)

So on my game I'm making, I'm trying to load the data files needed for the game, and when I load the file with pickle (The file has been loaded, I've double-checked that.) I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/user/Downloads/Deeper-master/Deeper.py", line 257, in <module>
tutorialData = pickle.load(tutorialFile)

__import__(module)
ImportError: No module named __main__
I saw a question like this on Stack Overflow, but it's a little different than my situation, so sorry if this is a duplicate, I'm just trying to figure it out.
You can find my code here. The main script is Deeper.py, just to save time.
If you notice in your repo, you have a Deeper.pyc and Deeper.py. If I run Deeper.py, it raises the same exception as yours. If I run Deeper.pyc, it raises another exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Deeper.py", line 7, in <module>
ToolbarTile = pygame.image.load("ToolbarTile.png")
pygame.error: Couldn't open Toolbar Tile.png
So, the code (bytecode, some previous version) references ToolbarTile.png, but the exception is about Toolbar Tile.png (with a space). So I changed the file name to account for that.
Now it raises:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Deeper.py", line 766, in <module>
else:
File "Deeper.py", line 394, in __init__
def displayCraft(self):
pygame.error: Couldn't open options.png
There's an Options.png in your files, but it looks for options.png (lower case) (even your new code in Deeper.py looks for that). So I changed that.
Now it works, albeit with Deeper.pyc so that must be why you thought:
(The file has been loaded, I've double-checked that.)
Maybe delete the Deeper.pyc and do a git-bisect to see when the bug was introduced (ps: check your toolbar.dat, does it seem okay to you? Also check the way you're using pickle.load. Maybe you should use rb instead of r?)

Using numdisplay, "An existing connection was forced to close by the remote host"

I've been learning to use python in astronomy and for that I'm following this notes. In the very beginning the author does the following example:
>>> im = pyfits.getdata('http://das.sdss.org/www/cgi-bin/drC?RUN=3630&RERUN=40&CAMCOL=3&FIELD=83&FILTER=r')
>>> numdisplay.display(im,z1=1000,z2=1500)
I try to replicate it and I get:
>>> numdisplay.display(im,z1=1000,z2=1500)
Image displayed with Z1: 1000 Z2: 1500
Traceback (most recent call last):

error: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forced to close by the remote host
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I mean if I write numdisplay.open() everything is fine... I'm thinking that it might be my antivirus or something that doesn't let python to communicate with ds9... Can somebody help me?
Edit: Well it doesn't seem to be the antivirus. I stopped it and run the script and I got the same error.
I was getting similar error messages, and I just tried adding a non-'None' argument to the bufname argument and it works (my image is about 4096.4096):
numdisplay.display(data,bufname='imt4096')

Parallel Python - RuntimeError: Communication pipe read error

I'm using parallel python to run multiple dynamic simulations using a module called OrcFxAPI. The program works perfectly if it is run as a python program on my machine however if I convert it to an exe file using py2exe and then run I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Analysis.pyc", Line 500, in multiprocessor
File "pp.pyc", Line 342, in __init__
File "pp.pyc", Line 506, in set_ncpus
File "pp.pyc", Line 140, in __init__
File "pp.pyc", Line 152, in start
File "pptransport.pyc", Line 140, in receive
RuntimeError: Communication pipe read error
It is failing at this line in my program:
job_server = pp.Server(ppservers=ppservers)
but I think it might be something to do with the path used to import the OrcFxAPI module when submitting the job:
job = job_server.submit(max_seastate, (gui_vars, case_list, case, line_info, output_vars), (), ("OrcFxAPI",), callback=finished, callbackargs=(case_no, no_of_cases,))

Pickle: Reading a dictionary, EOFError

I recently found out about pickle, which is amazing. But it errors on me when used for my actual script, testing it with a one item dictionary it worked fine. My real script is thousands of lines of code storing various objects within maya into it. I do not know if it has anything to do with the size, I have read around a lot of threads here but none are specific to my error.
I have tried writing with all priorities. No luck.
This is my output code:
output = open('locatorsDump.pkl', 'wb')
pickle.dump(l.locators, output, -1)
output.close()
This is my read code:
jntdump = open('locatorsDump.pkl', 'rb')
test = pickle.load(jntdump)
jntdump.close()
This is the error:
# Error: Error in maya.utils._guiExceptHook:
# File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\Python\lib\site-packages\pymel-1.0.0-py2.6.egg\maya\utils.py", line 277, in formatGuiException

# raise EOFError
# EOFError #
Try using pickle.dumps() and pickle.loads() as a test.
If you don't recieve the same error, you know it is related to the file write.
