Hello All, I humbly request some help for the following problem I'm facing. UseCase: I'm trying to write a script to download the transgender voter details from (BBMP Election Website - Below) http://117.247.176.82/Searchbynames.aspx Below is the link to the code i have written. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ed42aa52cbbd48c75d9a It can be executed as python script.py O 151 25 O means Other Gender, 151 Constituency and 25 is the Ward. Problem: There are many more details of the voter, in a Grid view (Clickable as the first column). While i run the script, i'm getting the initial table values, but not the detailed view results. I'm confused how to get that extra details as well while using the script. Atleast EPIC Id which they have given in the more details. Any hint would be of great help.

[BangPypers] Recommendation for a Python webserver requirement
Hello experts, We have a running script which takes a file as a parameter and generates another output file. But this is to be used by non-programmers, so we plan to convert this to a simple webserver where user can go to localhost:8000 upload input file and script will run to generate an output file which can be downloaded from the weburl I understand we can build this using flask from scratch, but do we have any sample framework / library which will come near to this requirement?

Hi all, I'm relatively a newbie to python. But i do read most of the posts in this list. Currently I'm doing a study on developing one reporting framework to pull the data from the database and project in appealing way like pie charts, normal charts, bar graphs etc. Would any body please comment on some good frameworks in python (web based GUI), which is already available on which i can add my customizations. This is to replace one of the reporting frameworks provided by Business Objects Web Intelligence. Any comments on where to start, how to start are much appreciated. Please help.

[BangPypers] Regarding web framework in Python
Hi All, Would like to ask one suggestion from bangpypers. I have a oracle database in Unix and need to create a web based GUI to execute some queries/scripts (via buttons) and save that in csv either in Unix or in windows. I was thinking of using Django framework. Btw i'm relatively new in python. Woud anybody please suggest whether Django is a good candidate for this. I succesfully installed Django and worked with some sample codes. Is there any similar framework which is more reccomondable than Django. Atleast this time i want to get this done with python. Many times i wanted to do things in python for some reason or other reason i was forced to use some other technology. I have some doubts like 1. Django sample webserver cannot be used when it's mission critical? Will this django framework supports apache or tomcat servers. 2. Certain query results i would like to display in graphs. I had mailed before asking suggestion for creating charts/bar/pie graphs with python and got a good number of suggestions like pychart, pygoogle chart open flash etc. I was just thinking how difficult is to integrate these stuffs in Django framework. Also couldn't actually finalize a good framework to use for creating this graphs. I'm absolutely in confusion which'll be better to use. Would anybody suggest what's the usual thought process in taking decisions like this.

Later that project itself got delayed. Now it's again back. I should apologize that mean time i had planned to ramp myself in python, but didnt work out. One reason of escapism: work load !! Current requirement is like we are planning to build such an application which should have 1. (Web) client gui which can connect to a database, run some perl scripts at the back end, gives back the results in the gui (results can be some tabular inputs, paragraphs, charts, schematic diagrams etc.) 2. It should have some drag and drop facility and connect the objects to configure some rule sets, saveas options etc. Basically there are some quite a bit debates happening whether it should be a web gui, or a thick client (which connects to the database). Would some body please advice when free on 1. Whether web.py itself is the good option for building this kind of framework. 2 . How easy would it be to build such an application in python (Currently i should rate my python skills to be almost beginner level) 3. I was looking for some frameworks like vaadin in a python, does anybody knows about such a framework. 4. For all this frameworks, we need apache like webserver right. I found web.py's independent sample webserver, Is it advisable to use such a webserver to avoid other third party installations. 5. What's your opinion on Web client vs Thick client for such an application. If it's thick client, architects here are forcing to use TCL/Tk to build. But my feel is it's lacking look and feel.

[BangPypers] Creating PPT with graphs
Hi all, To be frank i have a doubt whether it's a right thing to ask in this forum. We had a requirement where we need to process some HTML files (which contains tabular data) and create some graphs and finally create a PPT which contains the graphs and a pdf which contains its tabular data. We that time used Perl to achieve this since we already had the expertize and there were some time constraints. We used GD graph module for creating graphs as .png files and used OpenOffice::OODoc module to create OpenOffice impress document with these *.png files. And we also had a xml configuration file to configure for each type of html files what kind of graphs are required. Now the problem is (Not sure it's a problem of Perl, it can also be due to some poor programming style) 1. Script has become huge (around 2500+ lines, though it has lot of newlines and comments) when we included many options, flexibilities and exceptions. 2. Still at some point of time we are getting stuck because of the limitations of the GD graph module or OpenOffice module. 3. Readability is also getting difficult day by day even though I'm the only who wrote all those things. I myself is struggling a bit to understand why i did that. So I would like to have some opinions/suggestions from you like 1. Would these kind of problems happen if i had used Python also 2. How good is the similar modules for creating OpenOffice documents, pdfs , graphs as png files in Python 3. Would it be a good idea to rewrite the entire thing in Python. 4. And some general programming thoughts/suggestsion/advice why this happened :( Thanks alot Jins Thomas ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
[BangPypers] Dictionary in Python - A doubt
Hi all, This is a very basic doubt. I was experimenting concept of dictionary in python3 My problem was to find the occurance of each word in a file f = open('hello.txt', 'r') count = {} for line in f: words = line.split() for i in words : if i in count: count[i] += 1 else: count[i] = 1 print (count) I was just comparing hash in Perl. In Perl 'if i in count: else:' statement is not required i could simply uses count{i} +=1 even if it exists or not exists. I was thinking why Python has put this restriction. Or is it something which i did wrongly. Also i'm looking for some sites similar to perlmonks.org in python. There in perlmonks we could see lots of small small articles (basic and advanced) which will give clear idea on the usage, style etc. Have you heard of anything of that sort.
