Re: Script that Navigates Page needs Javascript Functionality
in order to view the results I need I need python to navigate to
this Javascript link:
javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cpMain$pagerTop','4') This basically
translates into go to page 4.
I read the posts on this group, and from what I understand, the
functionality I need is with simplejson? If so, what is the syntax i
would use to execute that Javascript?
Or am I completely off base with using simplejson altogether?
I've been meaning to look into this library for interfacing with
Mozilla's spidermonkey javascript engine:
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/python-spidermonkey/
It sounds like it might do what you want, but I'm not sure how much
work it would require.

Re: smtp server simulation using Python
I have a (web) development computer w/o an SMTP server and want to test
form generated e-mail using a dummy SMTP server that delivers the mail
message to a file, or better yet, to a text editor instead of actually
sending it.
Here's a quick and dirty script I use this for email testing purposes
- it's windows specific, but that's easy enough to change.
import smtpd, os, time, asyncore
class mailserver(smtpd.SMTPServer):
def __init__(self):
smtpd.SMTPServer.__init__(self, ('',25), None)
print 'Mailsink listening on port 25'
def process_message(self, peer, mailfrom, rcpttos, data):
basepath='c:\\.maildump'
print 'mail from: %s to: %s' %(mailfrom, repr(rcpttos))
for rcpt in rcpttos:
rcpt = rcpt.split('@')[0]
try:
os.mkdir(basepath+'\\'+rcpt)
except OSError:
pass
f =
file(basepath+'\\'+rcpt+'\\'+mailfrom+time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'),
'w')
f.write(data)
f.close()
def loop ():
x = mailserver()
try:
asyncore.loop(timeout=2)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print'interrupt'
x.close()
if __name__=='__main__':
loop()

Re: FTP/SSL
I'm trying to figure out how to use FTP/SSL (FTPS) - just as a client. Can I do this in Python? Is everything I need in ftplib? Where else do I look? And - any good newbie references on using FTPS? Hi, Nancy, I'm not sure if ftplib can handle ssh or not, but googling for python sftp turned up this link: http://www.lag.net/paramiko/ It looks like it might do what you want. -Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: HTML Form/Page and Navigation with multiple buttons
How can I identify which button has been pressed. Do I need a separate form for each button and hide all the relevant session fields in each form or is there a way of identifying which button has been pressed on the page. Hi, Richard, Just give each button (or input) tag a distinct name attribute and a value attribute. Also make sure the button is inside the form. When the button is used to submit the form, FieldStorage will return the name:value pair. -Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: How do I Extract Attachment from Newsgroup Message
I looked for a solution
with mimetools (the way I'd approach it for email) but found nothing.
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed;', '
boundary=Boundary-00=_A5NJCP3FX6Y5BI3BH890', 'Date: Thu,
...
Playing with
data = n.article('116431')[3]
and email.message_from_string, there seems to be a problem with the
content type being split up. I was able to get a multipart message by
using
msg = email.message_from_string('\n'.join(data).replace(';\n', ';'))
(and adding an ending boundary to your sample data).
This is a bit hackish and could cause problems if there are
semicolons inside the message body (no warranties expressed or
implied, etc.)
Hope this helps,

Let's suppose

How can I replace the last '4' character?
If the last '4' will not always be the last character in the string,
you could do:
'X'.join(s.rsplit('4',1))

Hi, Leon,
For putting the columns together zip is your friend. Let me lay out an example:
# get your text and strip the newlines:
testdata = file('something').read().replace('\n','')
# set some parameters (these are arbitrary, pick what you need)::
colwidth = 35
colheight = 20
numcol = 2
rowperpage = colheight * numcol
# first split into lines (this ignores word boundaries
# you might want to use somehting more like placid posted for this)
data1 = [testdata[x:x+colwidth] for x in range(0,len(testdata),colwidth)]
# next pad out the list to be an even number of rows - this will give
# a short final column. If you want them balanced you're on your own ;)
data1.extend(['' for x in range(rowsperpage - len(data1) % rowsperpage)])
# then split up the list based on the column length you want:
data2 = [data1[x:x+colheight] for x in range(0,len(data1),colheight)]
# then use zip to transpose the lists into columns
pages = [zip(*data2[x:x+numcol]) for x in range(0,len(data2),numcol)]
# finally unpack this data with some loops and print:
for page in pages:
for line in page:
for column in line:
print ' %s ' % column, #- note the comma keeps newlines out
print '\n'
print '\f'

Re: Formatting a string to be a columned block of text
Thanks, Paul. I didn't know about textwrap, that's neat. Leon, so in my example change data1= [testdata[x:x+colwidth] for x in range(0,len(testdata),colwidth)] to data1 = textwrap.wrap(testdata,colwidth) data1 = [x.ljust(colwidth) for x in data1] oh and I made a mistake that double spaces it. the print '\n' line needs to be either print '' or print '\n', (with a comma) -dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
