[BangPypers] Question on GUI
Howdy All, I have never worked on developing GUIs before. Need some suggestions on how to proceed with one. I have a program which takes bunch of inputs from the user. ( 15 ). Currently I use an well structured xml file where user puts his necessary details, then this xml file is passed to the program where it is parsed, validated and then actual things proceed. ( Ex. $ program.py -f input.xml ) I am looking to have basic GUI for taking inputs from the user. Much like form filling where 1. There will be different input boxes for different input field. User can type his choice of inputs in there. 2. All previous inputs should also come in a drop down of respective input field. 3. User should also be able to save all 15 inputs given by him by some 'name' so that next time by just clicking/selecting that 'name' all 15 field should get populated. 4. The GUI can then take these inputs and start the program.py. 5. I would also want to have a progressbar. Any ideas.? Thanks, Nikunj -- *7*Switch off as you go |*q*Recycle always | P Save Paper - Save Trees | Go Green ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
[BangPypers] checking return status of 'ping' in windows
Hi All,
I am using the following snippet to check the availability of an IP
address. If that IP addr is found free than it can be used later on for
further operations.
Python ver 3.2
Windows OS
{{{
pingret = subprocess.Popen('ping {0}'.format(IPaddr),
shell=True,universal_newlines=True, \
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
status = pingret.wait()
if status == 0:
print(WARN The IP given in the input is not free)
.
.
}}}
Normal ping operation on windows cmd prompt can give 3 outputs.
1) destination host unreachable
2) request timed out
3) Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64
Now,
I was expecting the status in above snippet to hold '0' only in case of
no. 3)
But even when we have case 1), 'status' is holding '0'.
i.e. The exit status of ping is 0, even when destination host is
unreachable.!
How do I make my snippet to work as desired. i.e even if destination host
is unreachable, 'status' should hold '1' and hold '0' only when it gets
reply from that ip address.??
Thanks,
Nikunj

Re: [BangPypers] Background ping - check for server availability
Hi,
I think the commands.getstatusoutput() is only for unix systems.
When I run on windows I get this error:
{{{
ret = commands.getstatusoutput('ping 192.168.1.1')
ret
(1, '{' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\noperable
program or batch file.)
}}}
I then tried once again with subprocess module:
{{{
pipe = subprocess.Popen('ping 192.168.1.1', shell=True,
universal_newlines=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
sts = pipe.wait()
sts
0
}}}
and this seems to work exactly as I wanted and it does not open a windows
cmd prompt window.
Previously I was using 'shell=False' . After little more reading, I
understood the difference and got the correct way.
Thanks,
Nikunj

Hi,
I want to check the availability of the server ( in the sense ) by
continuously pinging it in intervals of 30 seconds.
I am using Python2.7 on windows platform.
I wrote the following snippet. It works fine but it opens a windows cmd
prompt everytime it is reaching subprocess.call()
{{{
import subprocess
import time
def checkserveravail(ip):
while True:
pingret = subprocess.call('ping {0} -n 1'.format(esxname))
if pingret == 0:
time.sleep(30)
continue
else:
print(The server {0} is not reacheable. Please check network
connectivity.format(ip))
checkserveravail('xx.xx.xx.xx')
}}}
This snippet will be a part of larger program. Where a thread will be
doing this job of checking server recheability.
I do not want that cmd prompt windows to open everytime and just want
this
job to happen in background.
I also do not want to import any external module like ping, which will
unnecessarily increase the dependencies in my programs.
Any clues?
You can try this, I have tried this GNU/Linux.
In[8]: import commands
In [9]: commands.getstatusoutput(ping -c 1 www.google.com)
Out[9]:
(0,
'PING www.l.google.com (74.125.236.146) 56(84) bytes of data.\n64 bytes

replace google.com with IP.
In case your intension is to check whether website hosted in the IP is
active, you can use requests. requests needs to be installed in your
machine.
www.python-requests.org
In [10]: import requests
In [11]: r = requests.get(http://www.google.com;)
In [12]: r.status_code
Out[12]: 200
Note: If http is ignoree in requests.get, an error is raised.

Re: [BangPypers] Auto Login to Website and Capturing more details
Noufal,
I tried with :
{{{
import urllib, urllib2, cookielib
username = 'xxx'
password = 'xxx'
savepage = open('output.html', 'w')
#cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
#opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor())
login_data = urllib.urlencode({'username' : username, 'j_password' :

opener.open('https://ebpp.airtelworld.com/pkmslogin.form', login_data)
resp = opener.open('

')
savepage.write(resp.read())
savepage.close()
}}}
The link in the 'resp' is true to my knowledge. I checked it by logging in
at diff times. Its coming the same every time and it is the link behind
'Account Information' which comes on the front page after logging in.
When I open output.html, Its giving me the same login form i.e same looks
as those of 'https://ebpp.airtelworld.com/pkmslogin.form'
I tried with CookieJar() also. Same results.
Any ideas?

After this, you have a session. Now you should be able to GET the URL you

[BangPypers] UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte xxx
Hi All,
I am working on a self project for grabbing certain URL's from the web. Do
some processing and store the final contents in text/pdf file.
I am also using html2text (
https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text/archives/master ) for converting the
fetched page into text format.
As a first step I tried with fetching and converting to text using following
code.
Code :
{{{
#!/bin/python
import os
import urllib
fetch = urllib.urlopen(some-web-link.htm)
mainfile = open ('main.html', 'w' )
mainfile.write(fetch.read())
os.system('python2.6 html2text.py main.html main.txt')
}}}
It flags an error:
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File html2text.py, line 447, in module
data = open(arg, 'r').read().decode(encoding)
File /usr/lib/python2.6/encodings/utf_8.py, line 16, in decode
return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x88 in position 11366:

}}}
I also tried with
{{{

...
...
- mainfile = open ('main.html', 'w' )
+mainfile = codecs.open('xyz.htm', 'w', None, 'ignore')
...

Result is coming the same.
Please tell as to what can be done to avoid this error.?

Re: [BangPypers] UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte xxx
Thanks for the quick reply..
I hve never touched Django before.
I tried as:
{{{
#!/bin/python
import os
import urllib
+ from django.utils.encoding import smart_str
fetch = urllib.urlopen(some-web-link.htm)
mainfile = open ('main.html', 'w' )
+ myunistr = smart_str(fetch)
print myunistr
mainfile.write(myunistr)
os.system('python2.6 html2text.py main.html main.txt')
}}}
The execution went fine without any issues. But when I open the main.html.
I was expecting it to havee full contents of the page . But it has only ,
{{{
addinfourl at 148983116 whose fp = socket._fileobject object at
0x8deabac
}}}
Please let me know if I am missing something.

Change mainfile.write(fetch.read()) --

comment the line os.system('python2.6 html2text.py main.html main.txt')
Also you can use the *re* module in Python to find the index , so that you

My question is, Instead of manually goin to /usr/lib/.../row.py and commenting out the line, Can this be done through few lines of code in my program itself. ?? Looking at the code above, you can see that the exception is raised only if self.__parent._cell_overwrite_ok is False. So there is an option to allow overwriting. From the error message it appears that self.__parent is a Worksheet. Looking at the source code for Worksheet.py, the __init__() method does have an optional cell_overwrite_ok= parameter. This parameter is also available in Workbook.add_sheet(). So if you pass cell_overwrite=True to add_sheet() you should be OK.

[BangPypers] Error :Attempt to overwrite cell while using xlwt to create excel sheets
Hi, I am using xlwt 0.7.2 and Python 2.6. I come across a situation wherein one of the rows of the excel sheet created was being overwritten. And it was flagging the following error. File /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xlwt/Row.py, line 150, in insert_cell raise Exception(msg) Exception: Attempt to overwrite cell *Action Taken:* I commented out the raise Exception statement in Row.py library module. Here's the (line no. 150 ) of Row.py which i have edited: def insert_cell(self, col_index, cell_obj): if col_index in self.__cells: if not self.__parent._cell_overwrite_ok: msg = Attempt to overwrite cell: sheetname=%r rowx=%d colx=%d \ % (self.__parent.name, self.__idx, col_index) *#raise Exception(msg) #*commented to avoid error. * prev_cell_obj = self.__cells[col_index] sst_idx = getattr(prev_cell_obj, 'sst_idx', None) if sst_idx is not None: self.__parent_wb.del_str(sst_idx) self.__cells[col_index] = cell_obj The excel sheet creation code now works fine. *My question is, Instead of manually goin to /usr/lib/.../row.py and commenting out the line, Can this be done through few lines of code in my program itself. ??* As in if I use my program on different system, then again I have to comment out that line in row.py..!! Any suggestions?? Thanks, Nikunj Bangalore, India ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
[BangPypers] Future of Python Programmers
Dear all BangPyPers, I couldnt attend the January's user group meeting becoz of unforseen circumstances. I have one important question to ask to all of you, I am a fresher, recently completed my graduation, had started working on python 2 months back..!! and I just fell in love with the language. I want to learn more about it. The only concern is there arent enough companies which work on Python. ( correct if I am wrong?? ) and also kindly tell me the core application areas of the language, ( Is there any where Python is dominating compared to other languages? ) I followed up a link ( http://www.dmh2000.com/cjpr/ ) which nicely illustrates difference between many languages. Is there any chance where the development of Python will make it as fast as C++ or JAVA, (or it is at its optimum level? ) . P.S. I have recently joined the group, dont know if similar discussions held before.
