Method not found: 'ServiceSettingSave' in Suds package

[Anup Kandalkar]

I am trying to create service for the url:

   wsdl_url = https://avatax.avalara.net/Account/Accountsvc.wsdl

But some error is coming:

 svc = suds.client.Client(url=wsdl_url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/suds/client.py", line 114, in __init__
self.wsdl = reader.open(url)

Regarding the uploads: most profiles do have something called 'Popular
Uploads' or 'Recent Uploads'. Hover with the mouse over the link, a
'play'-Button appears, click it, copy the URL (should have a &list
parameter), paste the URL in youtube-dl (or a txt-file) and it will
fetch all videos.

I am not sure if this works for favorites, too, but that's the way I do it.

Oh FFS

Are you serious when you ask this?

Simply change:

except socket.gaierror as e:
  city = host = "UnKnown Origin"

To:

except socket.gaierror as e:
  city = "Unknown City"
  host = "Unknown Host"


Yes indeed that was an idiotic question made by me, but i was somehow
feeling again that i should handle it in one-liner, avoid wanting to use
2 statements.


newlines are still cheap.  And they can really help readability.


I wonder if there is a way to assign the string "Unknown Origin" to the
variable that failed in the try block to get a value.

Can i describe that somehow inside the except block?

I mean like:

except socket.gaierror as e:
what_ever_var_failed = "Unknown Origin"


Simply assign the default values BEFORE the try block, and use pass as
the except block.

That still doesn't get around the inadvisability of putting those 3
lines in the try block.

You still haven't dealt with the gt assignment and its possible
exception.

Yes gi must be removed form within the try block because iam tesign it 
for failure.


I'am not sure what you mean though when you say:


Simply assign the default values BEFORE the try block, and use pass as
the except block.


Can you please make it more clear for me?

This is my code as i have it at the moment:

ipval = ( os.environ.get('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP') or 
os.environ.get('REMOTE_ADDR', "Cannot Resolve") )

try:
gi = pygeoip.GeoIP('/usr/local/share/GeoIPCity.dat')
city = gi.time_zone_by_addr( ipval )
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( ipval ) [0]
except socket.gaierror as e:
city = "Άγνωστη Πόλη"
host = "Άγνωστη Προέλευση"

Or even better since i actually use 3 vars inside the try block it would 
be really neat to be able to detect which far failed and assign a 
specific value variable failed depended.


IF it can also be written in one-line afteer the excpect would be even 
better. Call me persistent but when i can write somethign in 1-line i 
wou;d prefer it over 3-lines.

a better way to provide column headers is to use the fieldname parameter
when creating the CSV reader. fieldnames is a string array that should
match the number of columns in the csv file:

*class *csv.DictReader(*csvfile*, *fieldnames=None*, *restkey=None*, *
restval=None*, *dialect='excel'*, **args*, ***kwds*)

Thanks Steven but this way i still have to declare the default string

Its no different than:

Your way set the vars on top, the other way set the vars inside the

ipval = ( os.environ.get('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP') or 
os.environ.get('REMOTE_ADDR', "Cannot Resolve") )
city = None
host = None
try:
city = gi.time_zone_by_addr( ipval )

except socket.gaierror as e:
if not city:
city = "Άγνωστη Πόλη"
if not host:
host = "Άγνωστη Προέλευση"

or:

ipval = ( os.environ.get('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP') or 
os.environ.get('REMOTE_ADDR', "Cannot Resolve") )
city = None
host = None
try:
city = gi.time_zone_by_addr( ipval )
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( ipval ) [0]
except socket.gaierror as e:
if not host:
host = "Άγνωστη Προέλευση"
if not city:
city = "Άγνωστη Πόλη"

Note that in that last case, I tested the variables in the reverse
order.  Note also on both of these that I assumed that None is not a
reasonable value for either of those.  In fact, I also assume that an
empty string is not a reasonable value.  If I didn't like the latter
assumption, I'd have used tests like  if host is None:

Ridiculous.  But if you like code golf, you can always do:

city, host = "Άγνωστη Πόλη", "Άγνωστη Προέλευση"

You should study APL.  Many functions were written in one line, with
twenty lines of explanation.  The function itself was considered
unreadable nonsense. And if a function stopped working, general wisdom
was to throw it out, and re-implement the explanation. I studied it
briefly in class in 1970, and have no idea if there are current
implementations.

you code has the benefit of actually identifying the variable that 
failed to have been assigned a value while in my code no matter what 
variable failes in the try block i assign string to both 'city' and 
'host' hence i dont really know which one of them is failing?

If you had created your global list containing list(range(52)), then you
could do nearly your entire program with one call to random.sample.

Suppose random(...) returns 0.

In 'vali_järgmine_vaba', n == 0, so it won't run anything in the
'while' loop, therefore i == -1, therefore:

kaart_tõmmatud[-1] = True

(which sets the last item in the list).

If random(...) returns 0 again (which is possible),
'vali_järgmine_vaba' will do exactly the same thing.

nozama-cloudsearch-service 1.1.2: a local Amazon CloudSearch using ElasticSearch as its backend.

[Oisin Mulvihill]

Hello,

Have you ever wanted to test your app against a dev version of your
production CloudSearch? Is management saying budget constraints won't allow
this? Then Nozama CloudSearch is for you.

It is a light weight implementation of Amazon's CloudSearch service you can
run locally. Its has additional REST API features which allow inspection of
data in a way not available via Amazon CloudSearch.

Nozama is also a way to migrate from Amazon CloudSearch to ElasticSearch.

Version 1.1.2

This now supports text searching and uses ElasticSearch as it backend.
Facets are not yet supported. I use MongoDB to store the results of batch
upload runs. This will change in future as I believe I can use
ElasticSearch for this too.

It is BSD licensed and available now from pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/
nozama-cloudsearch-service:

  easy_install nozama-cloudsearch-service

Contributions are always welcome. Just fork me on github:

 * https://github.com/oisinmulvihill/nozama-cloudsearch

It also has documentation which it self hosts or can be seen on readthedocs:

 * https://nozama-cloudsearch.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html


All the best,

Oisin

It looks like you a simply selecting a random entry in the deck 
i would suggest you try the following

1) build the deck as a list (i think you are already doing this)
2) shuffle the list (random.shuffle would be good here)
3) pop the cards of the list as required

this resemble the real world & should be easy to break down into various 
classes & expand for multiple decks if req.

What is your goal?  Are you trying to make the logic match your C++
code?  Are you just trying to solve the problem, or are you trying to
figure out where the bug is in your present code.

If it were my problem, I'd build a deck as a list, shuffle it with
random.shuffle(), then deal the cards out in order.  I might also use
list.pop() to take items off, so I wouldn't need any separate counter.

If i were trying to figure out why the existing code fails, I'd start
with an assert right before setting the flags.

assert(not kaart_tõmmatud[i])
kaart_tõmmatud[i] = True

Once you do that, and it fires, you know explicitly that you have a bug.

i believe the code may be fixed by changing the function 
vali_järgmine_vaba()  to begin as follows:

def vali_järgmine_vaba(n):
i = 0
while kaart_tõmmatud[i]:
i = i + 1

while(n  > 0):

But I would point out that this is a horribly unreadable way to do it. 
It's possibly appropriate for C, which is mostly unreadable anyway.  But
even there, there are much better approaches.  For example, i recall
writing a shuffle function in C decades ago, which took an array of (52)
unique items and put them in random order.  For an array of size 52, it
did it with exactly 51 swaps, without any searching like you're doing in
the above function.

No idea what you mean here.  I'll assume you're talking about the

How to write in to already opened excel file by using openpyxl

[someshg2]

Hi..there,

I have opened a excel file by using the following code
from openpyxl import load_workbook

 wb = load_workbook('path of the file')
DriverTableSheet = wb.get_sheet_by_name(name = 'name of the sheet')


after that i have to append some values in that excel file..

for that i used the following code

DriverTableSheet.cell(row=1, column=2).value="value"


but it is not responsive..can u guys please guide how to write / append a data

Thanks for taking the time to expain this:

No idea what you mean here.  I'll assume you're talking about the
version you DON'T quote here, the one with the if statements in the
except clause.


you code has the benefit of actually identifying the variable that
failed to have been assigned a value while in my code no matter what
variable failes in the try block i assign string to both 'city' and
'host' hence i dont really know which one of them is failing?

Show more code, please. And please describe the error more fully.

You need to read the documentation:
http://openpyxl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html#saving-to-a-file

The code you show doesn't have any save method being called.

It depends on what kind of combo-box it is. The Excel-native
combo-box sucks (no auto-completion, no multi-select, etc.), and
so it's possible a Visual Basic widget was used instead. That
would leave the cell contents blank when read, as above.

You will need to retrieve the value from the combo-box object
directly somehow.

Here is the basic problem: You're trying to do too many things at once in 
a language you don't understand and without any understanding of the 
fundamental underlying concepts of the systems that you're interfacing 
with.

Break the task down into simpler steps and do the steps one at a time:

Calculate ipval

Calculate gi

If ipval is valid, calculate city, else give city a default value

If ipval is valid, calculate host, else give host a default value

Then consider which of the above needs to be contained within a try / 
catch.

Finally, code them as 4 separate units of code, eg:

# instantiate geolocation by ip
gi = pygeoip.GeoIP('/usr/local/share/GeoIPCity.dat')

# calculate ipval
try:
ipval = ( os.environ.get('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP') or 
  os.environ.get('REMOTE_ADDR', "Cannot Resolve") )
except ( KeyError, TypeError ):
ipval = some_default

# try and obtain time zone from ip
try:
city = gi.time_zone_by_addr( ipval )
except (error type[s]):
city = "Unknown City"

# try and obtain hostname from ip
try:
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( ipval ) [0]
except ( socket.gaierror ):
host = "Unknown Host"

Note that there is nothing special about writing it in as few lines as 
code as possible. Writing it out in a way that is easy to understand and 
follow helps make sure it actually works, and makes it a lot easier to 
maintain in future.

If it's an Active-X ListBox or ComboBox, there's probably be a
CellLink defined. This will be the cell you need to read with
xlrd to get the value.

Hah! That's what they _want_ you to think.  First they get you hooked

Sounds like your browser is ignoring the charset. Can you force the 
browser to utf-8?

What happens if you create a plain html file with the same content and 
send it to your browser?

eg: test.html:
-
Hello, world!

This really doesn't look like a python issue (again).

Hostrange expansion

[Sam Giraffe]

Hi,

I need some help in expanding a hostrange as in: h[1-100].domain.com should
get expanded into a list containing h1.domain.com to h100.domain.com. Is
there a library that can do this for me? I also need to valid the range
before I expand it, i.e., h[1*100].domain.com should not be accept, or
other formats should not be accepted.

Thanks

Sure your method follows the the logic in a straighforward way 
step-by-step but i just dont want to spent almost 20 lines of code just 
to calculate 2 variables(city and host).


ipval = ( os.environ.get('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP') or 
os.environ.get('REMOTE_ADDR', "Cannot Resolve") )

city = "Άγνωστη Πόλη"
host = "Άγνωστη Προέλευση"
try:
gi = pygeoip.GeoIP('/usr/local/share/GeoIPCity.dat')
city = gi.time_zone_by_addr( ipval )
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( ipval ) [0]
except socket.gaierror as e:
	print( "metrites.py => (%s): " % lastvisit, repr( sys.exc_info() ), 
file=open('/tmp/err.out', 'w') )


The above code works in less lines of codes and because the assignment 
of the vars happen before the try:/except: block, if something fails 
during try: we can tell by looking at the values of city or host.


Also its being logged at the err.out too.
Only problem is that iam handlign address related issues and not the 
case of when gi fails.


But i dont know how to do that.

except (error type[s]): i saw in your code but iam not sure what exactly 
this is supposed to handle.

Does your provider charge you per line of code?

If all that matters is the number of lines of code then use this:

  city,host = 0,0

Only _1_ nice short line of code.

You can loop on the range and create the list by appending strings created
with the range using string substitution.  No library involved, just basic
python language features.  As to the validation problem, I don't think you
have defined it well enough to advise you on coding.

Why don't you specify exaction what is legal or not legal for your range,
write the code, show us what you  have, and someone can help you further.
My guess is the code can all be written in maybe 20 lines or so.

I have been using the script youtube-dl http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/

And I was wondering if there is a way to download all of a user's
favorites or uploads.

The script has a functionality to download all videos in a txt file. So
if there is a way using the youtube API or JSON (none of which I am
familiar with) to bring up a list of all these videos then it'd be a
simple case putting these urls into a file.

The problem is youtube displays favorites or user uploads in pages or
infinite scroll. So it is difficult to access them by the BeautifulSoup
module.


What do you suggest?


Regarding the uploads: most profiles do have something called 'Popular
Uploads' or 'Recent Uploads'. Hover with the mouse over the link, a
'play'-Button appears, click it, copy the URL (should have a &list
parameter), paste the URL in youtube-dl (or a txt-file) and it will
fetch all videos.

I am not sure if this works for favorites, too, but that's the way I do it.



Hi.

A screenshot would help me locate it.

It seems that people in the .NET world don't seem to like python.  Maybe
the reverse is true.  All the things that .net or java people hate about
python, python people view as the best parts of the language.  But, if you
need to use python you can start with python.org.  There are many links to
documentation suitable for different skill levels.  Some of it is available
in French: https://wiki.python.org/moin/FrenchLanguage

good luck to you

in 1978, I implemented a random number generator that the OS sequenced
through between scheduling processes, so that any individual process
would be relatively safe from that phenomenon. Of course I was limited
to the precision of the math package - 10**13

Granted prngs seem to be better on the importing entropy from elsewhere
front these days.



Python's PRNG holds plenty of state to handle card shuffling. Python's 
random number generator has a period of 2**19337-1, so it has that many 
states.  That is much larger than 52!, about 10**5933 times larger.  
(Unless I've botched the math...)


The other variable is how many states the initial seed can have.  If 
os.urandom is available, then it seeds with 16 bytes of OS-supplied 
randomness.  But 52! is about 2**226, so the 128 bits of seed isn't 
enough to make all shuffles possible.


You could seed a Random yourself with more bits if you really wanted to.

walking a heapq nondestructively without duplicating?

[Tim Chase]

I've got a large heapq'ified list and want to walk it in-order
without altering it.  I get the "unsorted" heap'ish results if I just
do

  from heapq import heappush, heappop, nlargest, nsmallest
  my_heap = []
  for thing in lots_of_items():
heappush(thing)
  for item in my_heap:
...

To get them in-order, I can do something like

  while my_heap:
item = heappop(my_heap)
do_something(item)

to iterate over the items in order, but that destroys the original
heap. I can also do

  for item in nlargest(len(my_heap), my_heap): # or nsmallest()
do_something(item)

but this duplicates a potentially large list according to my
reading of the description for nlargest/nsmallest[1].  Is there a
handy way to non-destructively walk the heap (either in-order or
reversed) without duplicating its contents?

I already did earlier in this thread.  And you must have read the
message, because you replied to other parts of it.  it's the one where I
referred to code golf, and to APL.  About 12 hours ago, at 6:43 my time.

city, host = "Άγνωστη Πόλη", "Άγνωστη Προέλευση"

I still think it's foolish, but be my guest.

If you add all your items at once, and then you want to walk over all 
the items, then don't use a heap.  Just put all your items in a list, 
and then sort it.  The advantage of a heap is that you can add items to 
it with little effort, delaying some of the work until when you need to 
get the items out.  It maintains a partially-sorted list that's good for 
insertion and popping.  You have different needs. Use a sorted list.

Please compose a text message containing a description of the
environment, the (small) code, and the expected results. This is a text
mailing list, and posting transient images on untrusted websites is
not likely to get you much help.

And when copying the code and the output, please use cut and paste; 
don't paraphrase or retype anything.

if you don't know how to capture the text, describe your environment,
and somebody will probably be able to help you.

It's high time you stopped trying to write Perl code that runs under
the Python interpreter, and started writing Python code that runs
under the Python interpreter.

There are rules. You first learn the rules and learn to code within
them; then later, once you actually achieve some measure of
competence, you begin learning when to break the rules.

I can't see where your output statements are.

With no output statements, there is no output.

perhaps you want to assign the result of the function call to a variable, 
and then print the variable? Or perhaps not, perhaps you were going to do 
the output some other way?

Because you aren't printing anything!

One possible way to fix that is to change the line which reads...

random_characters(8)

print(random_characters(8))

Python Unit Tests

[melwin9]

Hey,

How do i go about coming up/coding tests for this program below. Not sure how 
to even approach writing about 5 tests for it.

Initially I had this for the test but its not working well.

Test was name test_guess.py (Code Below)

[code]
from unittest import TestCase 
import pexpect as pe 

import guess as g 
import random 

random_number = random.randrange(1, 10) 
correct = False 

class GuessTest(TestCase): 
def setUp(self): 
self.intro = 'I have chosen a number from 1-10' 
self.request = 'Guess a number: ' 
self.responseHigh = "That's too high." 
self.responseLow  = "That's too low." 
self.responseCorrect = "That's right!" 
self.goodbye = 'Goodbye and thanks for playing!' 

def test_main(self): 
#cannot execute main now because it will 
#require user input 
from guess import main 

def test_guessing_hi_low_4(self): 
# Conversation assuming number is 4 
child = pe.spawn('python guess.py') 
child.expect(self.intro,timeout=5) 
child.expect(self.request,timeout=5) 
child.sendline('5') 
child.expect(self.responseHigh,timeout=5) 
child.sendline('3') 
child.expect(self.responseLow,timeout=5) 
child.sendline('4') 
child.expect(self.responseCorrect,timeout=5) 
child.expect(self.goodbye,timeout=5) 


def __init__(self): 
self.number = random.randint(0,10) 
HIGH = 1 
LOW = 2 
OK = 3 

def guess(self, number): 
if number > self.number: 
 return self.HIGH 
if number < self.number: 
 return self.LOW 
return self.OK 

def test_guesstoolow(self): 
while not correct: 
guess = input("What could it be?") 
if guess == random_number: 
print "Congrats You Got It" 
correct = True 
elif guess > random_number: 
print "To High" 
elif guess < random_number: 
print "To Low" 
else: 
print "Try Again"  [/code]

Python code for game below

[code]
import random

intro = 'I have chosen a number from 1-10'
request = 'Guess a number: '
responseHigh = "That's too high."
responseLow  = "That's too low."
responseCorrect = "That's right!"
goodbye = 'Goodbye and thanks for playing!'

print(intro)

def main():
guessesTaken = 0
number = random.randint(1, 10)
while guessesTaken < 5:
print(request)
guess = input()
guess = int(guess)

guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1

if guess < number:
print(responseLow) 

if guess > number:
print(responseHigh)

if guess == number:
break

if guess == number:
guessesTaken = str(guessesTaken)
print(responseCorrect + '! You guessed my number in ' + 
guessesTaken + ' guesses!')

if guess != number:
number = str(number)
print(goodbye + ' The number I was thinking of was ' + number)

##def main():
#print(intro)
 #   user_input = raw_input(request)
  #  print(responseHigh)
  #  print(request)
  #  user_input = raw_input(request)

The problem with your code has to do with the code between pixel 
coordinates (29, 234) and (175, 249) approximately. If you open your 
image in a pixel editor, copy and paste that part out, run it through 
some OCR software, and then add "print " (including the space) before it, 
you will probably get the result you are after.

By the way, posting a picture of your code is thoughtless and rude to 
those contributors and programmers who are blind or partially sighted. If 
you post text, they can contribute using a screen-reader. If you post a 
picture, they're screwed. Even if you don't give two hoots for the blind, 
at least consider that maybe they can answer your question when nobody 
else can.

Why would we want to follow a link to look at your code, when we could 
read it right here in your message? We might not have access to imgur 
(many places block it). We cannot copy and paste your code to run it to 
see what it does, or make edits to it. If we want to describe parts of 
your code we have to re-type it, possibly introducing our own typos.

I really don't understand why you would take program code, which is text, 
and take a screenshot of it, then spend time blanking out parts of the 
screenshot. Text is *much* more useful for a programmer. It astonishes me 
that there is an entire subreddit on imgur dedicated to people who take 
screenshots of their code. What's wrong with them?

Could be worse -- at least you didn't take a photo of the screen with 
your phone, them email the picture to yourself, then take a screenshot of 
the photo in your mail client, then upload that screenshot to imgur, then 
take a screenshot of the picture on imgur, then post that screenshot here.

This looks to be a bug in the "wsdl". Somewhere, it refers to
"ServiceSettingSave" but there is no definition for it.

To analyse,
I would download the WSDL description (recursively, if
necessary to get the full description) and search there for
"ServiceSettingSave".

There's a warning about that in the docs:

http://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.shuffle

[quote]
Note that for even rather small len(x), the total number of permutations 
of x is larger than the period of most random number generators; this 
implies that most permutations of a long sequence can never be generated.
[end quote]

If I've done that maths right, it turns out that 2025 is the largest 
number of items that a list can have for Python's default PRNG to 
generate every possible shuffle. But does it really matter? For most 
purposes, I'd say No. Even if you generated one trillion shuffles per 
second, you would have to keep shuffling for more than a trillion years 
before repeating yourself.

To be pedantic: a *lot* more than a trillion years. Approximately 
10**5789 trillion years. That's about a:

trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion 
trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion 
trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion 
... and so on for 57 more lines ... years. 


So in practice it's not really relevant that some shuffles won't be 
generated. They'll be randomly distributed throughout the space of all 
possible shuffles, which is so large that you really won't notice the 
missing ones.

What version of Python are you using?  I'll assume 2.7, but you really
should specify it (and any other meaningful environment dependencies) in
your original query, the beginning of your thread.

For 2.7, the docs for unittest are at:

These strings don't change from one test to another.  Thus they could be
set in the __init__() method, and indeed could just be globals.  Or even
(horrors) imported from the guess module.  So in your tests, you might
refer to  g.intro, rather than self.intro   Or you might decide that the
content of the strings is not what you're testing, but rather the flow
of the logic.

No need for an import here.  Assuming you will be adding a call to
main(), you can just call it as  g.main(), since you imported g already
as a global.

Those 3 statements do nothing useful.  They set 3 local variables which
are then immediately forgotten.  Presumably you meant:

   self.HIGH = 1
   self.LOW = 2
   self.OK = 3

Nothing in this method tests any of the actual program

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing:
"...one can view a unit as the smallest testable part of an application"

This is frequently a function, but certainly nothing smaller.  So  your
program is too monolithic to write multiple unit tests 

Weird bahaviour from shlex - line no

[Daniel Stojanov]

Can somebody explain this. The line number reported by shlex depends
on the previous token. I want to be able to tell if I have just popped
the last token on a line.




import shlex

first = shlex.shlex("word1 word2\nword3")
print first.get_token()
print first.get_token()
print "line no", first.lineno, "\n"

second = shlex.shlex("word1 word2,\nword3")
print second.get_token()
print second.get_token()
print second.get_token()
print "line no", second.lineno, "\n"


OUTPUT:
word1
word2
line no 2

word1
word2
,
line no 1
