Re: Adding 'download' column to existing 'visitors' table (as requested)

Ah great!!!
I just examined my other MySQL database which just stored webpages and
their corresponding visits and voila.
Someone was able to pass values into my counters table:
look:
http://superhost.gr/?show=stats
thats why it didn't had 1 or 2 or 3 as 'counterID' but more values were
present.
Someone successfully manipulated this part of my code:
if cookieID != 'nikos' and ( os.path.exists( path + page ) or
os.path.exists( cgi_path + page ) ) and re.search(
r'(amazon|google|proxy|cloud|reverse|fetch|msn|who|spider|crawl|ping)',
host ) is None:
try:
# if first time for webpage; create new record( primary key is
automatic, hit is defaulted ), if page exists then update record
cur.execute('''INSERT INTO counters (url) VALUES (%s) ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE hits = hits + 1''', page )
..
..
I see no way of messing with the above statement other that tweak with
the 'page' variable but its not clear to me how.
You as more experience can you tell how the aboev code of database insertio
Here is more insight on how i initiate the 'page' variable:
==
# define how the .html or .python pages are called
path = '/home/nikos/public_html/'
cgi_path = '/home/nikos/public_html/cgi-bin/'
file = form.getfirst('file', 'forbidden') # this value should come only
from .htaccess and not as http://superhost.gr/~nikos/cgi-bin/metrites.py
page = form.getvalue('page') # this value comes from 'index.html' or
from within 'metrites.py'
if os.path.exists( file ) and not page:
# it is an html template
page = file.replace( path, '' )
==
Any ideas please on how the hacker manages to pass arbitrary values into
the 'page' var since i explicitly define it and before database
insertion i check for:
if cookieID != 'nikos' and ( os.path.exists( path + page ) or
os.path.exists( cgi_path + page ) )
?!?!

As was pointed out you aren't close to any solution. You should go off taking the advice and tutoring you have had here, do some reading (yes, actually learn and understand something), perhaps start from scratch reading basics of computer programming, databases, html, unicode, operating systems, web servers, etc. and come back when you have a solid basis to ask a question. I take my profession seriously. Its fun, but it takes a lot of reading and studying and practice to be good at it. The fact that you even presume that you are doing what software designers, or engineers or programmers do to ply the craft is disgusting. Its not that you don't know, its that you don't know and are an arrogant idiot to assume that you do. Your threads all end up being a very poor man's version of the movie Ground Hog Day. The fact that you don't recognize how rude and insulting you are, and how little you bring to the discussion will inevitably lead to more personal attacks since you aren't holding up your end of the technical back and forth. Your repeated behavior of starting new threads is just a boring childish method to demand attention. You have our attention. I believe that most of us if not all of us think you are the most aggravating, incompetent, rude, needy, manipulating, person we have ever seen online ever.

Anki add-on - Help needed
Is anybody here able to help me finish off an Anki add-on? If you're not
familiar with it, Anki (http://ankisrs.net/) is an open source, cross
platform flashcard learning program, in PyQT. It's extensible, with add-
ons.
Thing is, I'm not a programmer, but I've managed to make my own add-on by
trying to figure out how other people's add-ons work. I've got something
that works, but it needs finishing off.
There is a lot I don't understand, but I've got this snippet which will
retrieve a value associated with the key 'dictKey' from a dictionary held
in a file. However, it will only do it if I open the Options dialog in
Anki (I'm guessing that's what DeckConf.loadConf is about). How can I get
that value for use in another function, without having to open the dialog?
[code]
from aqt.deckconf import DeckConf
from anki.hooks import wrap
def load_dictVal(self):
c = self.conf
x = c.get('dictKey')
print(x)
DeckConf.loadConf = wrap(DeckConf.loadConf, load_dictVal)
[/code]
The dictionary is in a file at (on Linux) ~/Anki/User 1/collection.anki2.
'User 1' may vary, and each user has their own collection.anki2 file. The
file's header says it's 'SQLite format 3'.
Secondly, separate from the above, I want to get a True/False value from
whether a deck is currently being studied? Maybe whether the review screen
is open, or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best to you if someone here can help, but your question isn't really a
python question as much as one about how anki or pyqt work. Have you
looked for mailing lists for pyqt or anki? you might have better luck
there.

Py 3.3.2, MacBookPro, segmentation fault, GCC issue?
I am trying to help a student of mine install Python 3 on his MacBook Pro. The installation succeeds. However, upon opening the Python interpreter, he can only execute one Python command successfully. On the second command, the interpreter crashes, giving the error "Segmentation fault: 11". I have installed Python 3 on Linux and on Windows before, but I have no prior experience with Macs. I know that OSX is Unix-like, but I'm sure that there are significant differences between the Linux that I normally use and OSX. My student's computer is configured as follows: MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM 1600 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9. We installed the Python 3.3.2 Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit x86-64/i386 Installer (for Mac OS X 10.6 and later) from http://python.org/download. The Python interpreter reported the following when it was opened: Python 3.3.2 : d047928ae3f6, May 13 2013, 13:52:24 GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot3) on darwin I do not know exactly how the Mac installer works. It seemed to operate quickly. It reported very little about what work it was actually doing. Does it install pre-compiled binaries, or does it actually build Python locally from source code? GCC 4.2.1 strikes me as OLD. According to http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html, it was released in 2007! I would guess that the segfault is occurring because the Python interpreter was compiled using an outdated GCC. First question: did this outdated compiler execute its work at python.org (seems unlikely), or on my student's computer (seems more likely, though still rather absurd)? Follow-up questions: if I need a more current GCC for my student's Mac, how do I obtain it? And are there any backwards-compatibility issues I might need to worry about if I do upgrade?

Not the negative striding exactly, but the way fenceposts and negative strides interact.

Thanks, Mark. Reading through the information in your link, I appear to have encountered an actual bug specific to Python 3.3.2 and OS X 10.9. And it appears that the 3.3.3 version of Python that fixes this bug is still in beta. And that I can have my student download the working version from here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.3/ Does that all sound correct? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Very close :) The 3.3.3 version is actually a release candidate. In other words if no problems get reported it'll get a full release, if there are problems there may be a second release candidate depending on the severity. That's all down to the release manager.

People here a very friendly and are helping everybody from a beginner to a pro. Mostly pros are answering the questions here and that's a huge benefit for a community. What you are doing is absurd! You don't seem to follow the answers and are asking same questions over and over without paying attention to thoose people here helping you out for free. Now since you know that nobody will invest time helping out on your problems you start trolling. That is not fair and asking people to hack your site in a public forum is just wrong; It is a big fail! Please stop writing to this list if you not follow what people are answering to you here.

I think there is no programming language available that will help you fix your problems the right way. The right way is not the programming language but the developer who writing the code has to do it right.

Not technically wrong, but stylistically suspect; I would recommend
using forward slashes (which work fine on Windows) and avoiding the
drive letter, both of which avoid making your example
Windows-specific. (At least, I don't think there are any other
platforms Python supports that use drive letters; OS/2 support was
dropped a little while ago, though I believe Paul Smedley still
maintains a port. But I digress.)
"""Which method will write a pickled representation of the object to

Method names without object names aren't all that useful. Do you mean
"Which method of the pickle module..."?
"""From which languages are Python classes derived from?"""
Sounds like Python history trivia more than a coding challenge, but if
that's what you want to go for, sure.

Help with my programming homework (python, and raptor)
Employee Salaries You are working for a medium sized construction company as an intern in the Information Technology department. A director in the Human Resources department recently asked the IT department to write a small program that will help them do a salary comparison. The program needs to be able to enter the name of the employee and their salary. Once the data is loaded the program needs to find the average salary, the highest salary and the lowest salary. The program needs to print out these values along with the names of the employees that go along with the salary. Your boss, who has great trust in you and your programming abilities, has given this project to you. You, therefore, schedule a meeting with the HR director asking for the program to clarify the program’s requirements. After your meeting you have summarized the following: The program needs to ask for how many employees and salaries the program will be working with. The program needs to do some data validation on this number to make sure it is a positive number. The program needs to ask for the name of each employee along with their salary. Since the name of the employee will be a string and the salary will be a number, you decide to use two parallel arrays to store the data. The program will need to do some data validation on the salary to make sure it is a number and greater than 0 and less than $200,000. The program will determine what the average salary is and print that out to the user. The program will determine what salary is the lowest and print that out along with the name of the employee who has that salary figure. The program will determine what salary is the highest and print that out along with the name of the employee who has that salary figure. Use the following test data to test your program. Employee Name Salary John$45,600 Average Salary: $63, 862.50 Sue $55,400 Highest Salary: $89,750 David $64,700 Lowest Salary: $45,600 Betty $89,750 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Not technically wrong, but stylistically suspect; I would recommend
using forward slashes (which work fine on Windows) and avoiding the
drive letter, both of which avoid making your example
Windows-specific. (At least, I don't think there are any other
platforms Python supports that use drive letters; OS/2 support was
dropped a little while ago, though I believe Paul Smedley still
maintains a port. But I digress.)
"""Which method will write a pickled representation of the object to

Method names without object names aren't all that useful. Do you mean
"Which method of the pickle module..."?
"""From which languages are Python classes derived from?"""
Does it really have the word "from" twice?
Sounds like Python history trivia more than a coding challenge, but if
that's what you want to go for, sure.

How to parse JSON passed on the command line?
Hello Everyone,
I'm writing a little helper script in Python that will access a JSON
formatted argument from the shell when it's called. The parameter will
look like this:
{"url":"http://www.google.com"}
So, if my program is called "getargfromcli.py" the call will look like this:
getargfromcli.py {"url":"http://www.google.com"}
In the case above, I assume my JSON string will be argv[1]. In fact,
when I do
print sys.argv[1]
It works as expected and prints out the JSON string as expected like
this: {url:http://www.google.com}
Now, for the harder part. When I try to PARSE this JSON using this code:
json_string = json.loads(sys.argv[1])
I get an error saying that "No JSON object could be decoded". Even
though this looks like valid JSON and was generated by a JSON generator.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Basically, I want to eventually
get the value of url into a string.
Thanks!
anthony

You probably want
getargfromcli.py '{"url":"http://www.google.com"}'
instead, so that your string of JSON is treated literally by the shell.

No, that's not JSON anymore! All the required quotation marks have
gone missing. The shell ate them.

Which is not valid JSON. You lost the quotes. I suspect you want to

Hi Anthony Papillion.
I'm fresh to Python, but I do love its short simple and graceful.
I've solved your problem. You could try the code below:
getargfromcli.py "\"{'url':'http://www.google.com'}\""
AS command line will strip your ".
From the Python document, we could get the info as:
json.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]')
the json.loads' argument should be string. Try it:)

I recommend learning a programming environment that is *not* tied to a particular programming language. Use an environment that lets you edit text files, type arbitrary shell commands, run a test suite, invoke a debugger, run an interactive language shell — *without* being specific to any particular language. For me, that's a terminal emulator, and Emacs. Others prefer a terminal emulator and Vim. Either are very powerful and very flexible, and have support for many dozens of languages. Python does have a Python-specific IDE, called “IDLE”. But if you're interested in programming, you should be learning tools that let you continue to use the tool just as effectively when you use more than one language. -- \ “I am too firm in my consciousness of the marvelous to be ever | `\ fascinated by the mere supernatural …” —Joseph Conrad, _The | _o__) Shadow-Line_ | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
