Re: Whither paramiko?

Suggest design to accomodate non-unix platforms ?
On a *nix box this is a reasonable bit of Python :
cmd = ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i %s %s@%s '%s' %s % (key,
user, dns, echo CONNECTION READY, tmp_file)
result = os.system(cmd)
... on a Windows box it will fail because 'ssh' isn't part of Windows.
There *are* ways of achieving the equivalent functionality in Windows,
eg
putty.exe -ssh user@host
... and that's only one of them.
So I'm interested in suggestions/examples where a user can update a
config file to specify by which means they want (in this case) the ssh
functionality to be supplied.
I'm thinking of something in a config file like this ...
ssh_dropin = {exec: 'putty.exe -ssh %s@%s', args:['auser','somehost']}
... which I think would work and be sufficiently flexible to deal with
alternatives to putty.exe but is there a more established (...
better !) way of doing this stuff ?
Thanks
Richard.

Perhaps install Cygwin and use its ssh.exe? Or use the paramiko library? (which, I believe, implements SSH directly) Irmen OK I didn't know about Paramiko, that looks good - I will investigate. I didn't want to go to as far as Cygwin because it's a bit much to make that a requirement when installing a library. More generally though I'd be interested to see patterns which would allow a plugin alternative to be used for a system utility on which a library is dependent. I've realised that my example isn't much good because the values in the args list would in fact have to equate to the variables already in place within the relevant function - it's pretty late where I am so I probably shouldn't be trying to think up new ideas but I'd be interested to hear from others about how they might do this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Ok I didn't know that (or more to the point hadn't really thought about it). But anyway my more general point was looking for a design pattern which would accommodate the use of system utilities across multiple platforms which has sufficiently similar functionality that they were functionally identical but which would have to be invoked in different ways -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: understanding a program project

I'ld like to modify/contribute some open source in python, but first i've to read and understand the code. So, is there some guide lines / procedure to follow to help me in this process. I remember at school time there was some schema or something to create to display the interaction of different functions / modules My idea was to create a model with all the methods and arrows to link they... any link of post explaining some learning procedure or programs schema would be really appreciated I don't know of a general answer to your question. I've seen tools such as you're describing but they tend to be languages other than Python (eg Java or C#). There are tools such as : * Sphinx * EpyDoc * pycco all of which will produce friendly documentation automatically but the quality of the doco is dependent somewhat upon the amount and nature of comments originally put into the code. I don't think that's much help but I hope it may be some. regards Richard. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Interpreting Surface Weather Stations reports (FM 12–XIV SYNOP)
Does anyone have some code which interprets Surface Weather Stations reports (formally termed 'FM 12–XIV SYNOP' reports) ? I've tried the cheese shop but no joy. I've seen PyMetar (http://schwarzvogel.de/software-pymetar.shtml) but I don't believe it covers this format. I can't believe I'm the first person who wished to parse these reports so I'm hoping there's someone out there who's willing to share. I've been referred to http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WMOCodes/Manual/Volume-I-selection/Sel2.pdf as an explanation of their structure but I would prefer not to delve into that if I could avoid it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
wxPython/IEHtmlWindow documentation (what events are available ?)
Hi - I've got a script which is making use of ... import wx.lib.iewinas iewin ... and so ... self.ie = iewin.IEHtmlWindow(self, -1, style = wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE) ... but I can't find any documentation about what a IEHtmlWindow object might do - in particular what I might do with the events. I have some sample code and I've taken a look at iewin.py but what I would like to know is when the various events are going to fire ? 'DOCUMENTCOMPLETE' seems fairly self-explanatory but others such as 'BEFORENAVIGATE2' and 'STATUSTEXTCHANGE' are less guessable. I've looked at (what I think is) the MS documentation but I cannot find references to any of these events - can anyone point me information please ? Thanks Richard. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
setup.py - just what is it for ?
Hi - This is probably quite a stupid question but I've never understood what setup.py does. I've got a situation at the moment where I would like to use a script (which someone else has written and made available) to do CGI on a shared webserver to which I do not have shell access. The install instructions say run python setup.py but as far as I'm aware I cannot do that. There is only one script involved (except for the setup.py !) and so I'm probably just going to copy it into my cgi-bin and give it a go but I'd like to know for future reference just how bad could it be if I did this ? Are there circumstances where you must use setup.py to have any hope of the code working ? BTW here is the setup.py in question ... from distutils.core import setup classifiers = \ Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable Environment :: Web Environment Intended Audience :: Developers License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License (GPL) Operating System :: OS Independent Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries import sys if sys.version_info (2, 3): _setup = setup def setup(**kwargs): if kwargs.has_key(classifiers): del kwargs[classifiers] _setup(**kwargs) setup(name=cgi_app,py_modules=[cgi_app], version=1.3, maintainer=Anders Pearson, maintainer_email=[EMAIL PROTECTED], url = http://thraxil.org/code/cgi_app/;, license = http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html;, platforms = [any], description = CGI and mod_python MVC application framework, long_description = framework for building MVC CGI and mod_python applications. based on the perl CGI::Application module but more pythonic., classifiers = filter(None, classifiers.split(\n))) ... I would appreciate any information about this (or any tips on how to deal with no shell access). thanks richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
