Running a program without waiting for it to finish
hello everybody,
I am somewhat confused about the number of ways you can run an
external program from python/pylons.
I need my app to be able to compile and run a performance test. then
gather the results and display the results in a relevant way. the
tests are written in autoHotKey which is a windows scripting program.
so to run a test all i need to do is call the file from the command
line.
I have a controller that kicks off the test using the subprocess
module.
class PerformancetestrunnerController(BaseController):
def index(self):
self.compileTest('/perfTests/fx-quick-trade-verify.mako')
self.runTest('fx-quick-trade-verify.ahk')
return 'run'
def compileTest(self, testPath):
c.loopCount = 10
c.GBPUSD_buyButton = '100, 100';
render(testPath)
f = open('fx-quick-trade-verify.ahk', 'w')
f.write( render(testPath) )
f.close()
def runTest(self, testPath):
path = os.path.join('C:','Program
Files','AutoHotkey','AutoHotkey.exe')
process = subprocess.Popen([path, testPath])
This does start the test running, but the page does not finish loading
until the tests have finished.
the tests themselves can call back to the pylons app to record cpu and
memory metrics.
I guess there must be a NO_WAIT flag or something i can put in to
achieve my goal.
This page (http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html) suggests
pid = Popen([/bin/mycmd, myarg]).pid
As a no_wait example, but that didn't work for me either.
if any one has any ideas how i can achieve this, i await with baited
breath.
thanks
toby

Re: If you HAD to use Java...
Thanks for the replies. I spent an inordinate amount of time evaluating Java frameworks, etc. As it turned out, I didn't end up having to use Java (though I could have), so I went with Python, and I'm very glad I did. Today I launched the first version of an internal app built on Pylons/ SQLAlchemy/Ext. At least one person seems impressed with how fast I've been able to develop this app (though it's nowhere near done). I plan to release as much of the code as possible, once I refactor things to a point where this would make sense. Deployment to the production server in a virtualenv was a breeze. Downloading and compiling Python seemed to take the most time.

Re: Flickr tutorial under 0.9.7?
2008/12/16 Mike Orr sluggos...@gmail.com: By the way, Pylons homepage says: AJAX: Rails-style WebHelpers based on Prototype, or Mochikit, jQuery, Dojo, Ext more. I'm wondering what that means. I've been curious about that too, since the JavaScript helpers are implemented with Prototype. I think the intent, though, is just to indicate that it's easy to use any of those libraries with Pylons or to create your own helpers based on those libs. It indicates the website is out of date. :) OK it used to be true for Prototype, but what about the other ones? I'm a bit worried about newcomers getting exciting at reading this and then finding out that there isn't really such a thing in Pylons. Is it going to be possible to keep the current Rails-style WebHelpers while using newer versions of Pylons or will we definitely have to port our code? You'll have to make some adjustments at least. The easiest is to copy the old helper modules into your application and adjust the imports in helpers.py. You can do that any time in the next several months. Alternatively, you could hack Pylons' egg-info to not require the newer version, but that would be overwritten if you reinstall or upgrade Pylons. Thank you for the hint, copying the old module seems to be simpler indeed. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups pylons-discuss group.

Problem with pylons install on win XP 32
Hi All,
I've been trying to get pylons up and running on a win 32bit XP box under
python 2.6.1. Easy install worked up until the json errors, I then manually
installed the rest of the dependancies. JSON I ran without speedups, and
therefore bypassed the failure to install.
When I try and setup a project paster dies on me with the following

Re: Testing a controller with upload_files ?
I am using nosetests. If I only pass one file in it does not work. The
only combination that works is params only without the upload_files.
I also tried wrapping the file contents in a StringIO but only a
string or unicode is accepted. I also tried writing a real file to
disk first and only providing the tag and filename but that didn't
help either.

That .6 vs .7 status list is very helpful, esp for a Pylons newbie struggling with documentation which is part .6 and part .7, thanks. Are there any docs or examples for the new .7 helpers?

You're suffering multiple levels of deprecation and a very out-of-date
HOWTO. Also, Cheetah was designed for a very different kind of web
framework, and thus doesn't fit very well with Pylons. I was one of
Cheetah's developers and could explain explain to you why this is, but
it would be a long discussion delving into template caching, search
paths, manually-compiled base templates, Unicode issues, auto-escaping
HTML, dotted template notation, etc. I'd highly recommend Mako
instead, which is based on Cheetah's design but includes recent
techniques for dealing with all these issues. These things can't be
retrofitted into Cheetah without totally restructuring it.
But if you want to use Cheetah anyway, for Pylons 0.9.7rc4 you'd write
a render_cheetah() function similar to render_mako in
pylons.templating. Essentially it would have to calculate the
template path based on the template search path in pylons.config, put
the Pylons globals into a dict (especially including 'c'), instantiate
Cheetah.Template with the template path and search list, call
template.render() and return the result.
For Pylons 0.9.6, just ignore the warning and use whichever way works.
You'll have to upgrade to 0.9.7+ at some point anyway, and you can
implement a better solution then. You'll probably need an empty
__init__.py file in myapp/templates and every subdirectory under it,
and you may need to specify templates as package.template instead of
/directory/filename.html, and you may need to compile the templates
manually before running the application. A lot of this is due to the
fact that the Cheetah-Buffet plugin was the second Buffet plugin to be
written (after the original one for Kid), and it was thought at the
time that a Kid-like API was best.
In either version, if you're using template inheritance (#extends),
you'll definitely have to compile the base templates manually
(cheetah compile) and put them in an importable package. This means
that if you put them under maypp/templates/, you definitely need the
__init__.py files. Cheetah's template inheritance does not use a
search path or compiling templates, it merely imports a precompiled
template module which it assumes exists. Again, this made sense in
the kind of web framework Cheetah was originally designed for.
(WebWare for Python, which was based on the Java servlet pattern.
Precompiled templates were structured so that they could function as
servlets without needing wrappers.)

Should be deployed there shortly. I'm also getting most of the links fixed up so the site can be ready for launch with 0.9.7 final rather soon. - Ben smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
Re: Flickr tutorial under 0.9.7?
I didn't have the beta docs url, looks like there's enough to get me going with the intrinsic helpers. I like the Pylons platform a lot already, and have only done minor experiments. When everything is ironed out, it's really gonna rock. Great project! Rod --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups pylons-discuss group.

Are there any docs or examples for the new .7 helpers? The documentation is in the source code, and is now available under the modules section of beta.pylonshq.com. The section in the reference manual (Forms, Validation, and Helpers) is very minimal (and misses the HTML helpers entirely) because something needs to be configured in Sphinx, and I'm hoping Ben knows what it is. I want to work towards the Pylons 1.0 Factory approved usage for helpers and templating, but am challenged figuring out what that will be. Specifically, I'm trying to work through the tutorials without the deprecated helpers, and still take advantage of helpers that will be in the forward releases. But, I look in webhelpers-0.6.3-py2.6.egg/webhelpers/html/form_layout.py and I see Helpers for laying out forms (EXPERIMENTAL) **This module is experimental and subject to change or deletion!** If you want to use it in an application, please copy it to the application. The form_layout module has already been removed in WebHelpers 0.6.4. It was the only experimental helper that was released; everything else is either officially supported or deprecated. Pylons 1.0 will be close to 0.9.7. The main thing is to avoid anything marked deprecated. There are plans for a more modular @validate but it will be backward compatible. Routes 2 may actually appear someday, with a slightly incompatible syntax. However, the new optional syntax in Routes 1.10 was backported from Routes 2, as was pylons.url (which will gradually replace url_for). So these are forward compatibilities. Because Routes is only lightly coupled to the rest of Pylons, it should be feasable to use Routes 1 even if the default switches to Routes 2, though you may have to hack Pylons' egg-info to change the dependency or import Routes 1 via a different package name; we're not sure yet. Those are the upcoming changes I can think of, so you can see there's not many. -- Mike Orr sluggos...@gmail.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups pylons-discuss group.

Re: Testing a controller with upload_files ?

I am using nosetests. If I only pass one file in it does not work. The
only combination that works is params only without the upload_files.
nose it's a test runner finder not a testing engine in itself, the
feature you want to use is either part of webtest or paste.fixture
I also tried wrapping the file contents in a StringIO but only a
string or unicode is accepted. I also tried writing a real file to
disk first and only providing the tag and filename but that didn't
help either.

Hi, I have a controller, that takes a normal param, as well as a
couple of files as input. It works fine when called from a client, but
I am having trouble getting a unit test to work.
response = self.app.post(url_for(controller='ff', action='upload'),
params={'packxml': packxml}), \
upload_files = [(tempimageid + '.image',
tempimagefilename, 'IMAGECONTENTS'), \
(tempimageid + '.icon', tempiconfilename,
'ICONCONTENTS')])
If i only pass in the params, but no upload_files then the packxml
param is correctly passed to the controller in request.params.
However when I try either the upload_files by itself, or both the
params and upload_files, then request.params is empty.
My controller would like to access the files as request.params
['id'].value
Whats going on here? Are file params passed into the controller in
some other structure than request.params? If files are passed in, are
normal params also passed in differently? Can both types of params be
passed in in the same request using self.app.post?
Any tips would be appreciated.
are you using webtest?I got equivalent code and it works fine. does it
works with only one file?
