Respam levels.

Having run a check for straightforward spam, I now find that there's a site
editing and reposting non-spam posts.  An example of the changed headers
follows:

Looking at my current comp.lang.python news spool, 182 out of 683 messages
have been reposted by news.bbs.geek.nz; I haven't checked if they are all
duplicates.  The reformatting of the body of message is to date trivial,
just a reduction in line length.

This may be the result of a misconfigured spam filter, or an actual spam
attack; anyway, I've now filtered news.bbs.geek.nz from my feed.

Regex on a Dictionary

[Stanley Denman]

I am trying to performance a regex on a "string" of text that python isinstance 
is telling me is a dictionary.  When I run the code I get the following error:

{'/Title': '1F:  Progress Notes  Src.:  MILANI, JOHN C Tmt. Dt.:  05/12/2014 - 
05/28/2014 (9 pages)', '/Page': IndirectObject(465, 0), '/Type': '/FitB'}

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\stand\Desktop\PythonSublimeText.py", line 9, in 
x=MyRegex.findall(MyDict)
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

Here is the "string" of code I am working with:

{'/Title': '1F:  Progress Notes  Src.:  MILANI, JOHN C Tmt. Dt.:  05/12/2014 - 
05/28/2014 (9 pages)', '/Page': IndirectObject(465, 0), '/Type': '/FitB'}

I want to grab the name "MILANI, JOHN C" and the last date "-mm/dd/" as a 
pair such that if I have  X numbers of string like the above I will end out 
with N pairs of values (name and date)/  Here is my code:
 
import PyPDF2,re
pdfFileObj=open('x.pdf','rb')
pdfReader=PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj)
Result=pdfReader.getOutlines()
MyDict=(Result[-1][0])
print(MyDict)
print(isinstance(MyDict,dict))
MyRegex=re.compile(r"MILANI,")
x=MyRegex.findall(MyDict)
print(x)

Thanks in advance for any help.

As the error message says, re.findall() expects a string.  A dictionary 
is in no sense a string, so passing it in whole like that won't work. 
If you know that the name will always show up in the title field, you 
can pass just the title:


  x = MyRegex.findall(MyDict['/Title'])

Otherwise you will have to loop through all the entries in the dictionary:

  for entry in MyDict.values():
x = MyRegex.findall(entry)
# ...and do something with x

I rather suspect you are going to find that the titles aren't in a very 
systematic format, though.

for what purpose are you trying to run this regex anyway?

RE: Can't Uninstall !

[Pedro Crescencio]

Hello Michael, 

Here my answers

1. Why do you want to uninstall it? What are you trying to accomplish by
uninstalling it?
-> I installed Python to test a software. Now I do not need python any more.

2. What operating system are you using?
-> Windows 10 Familly 64b

3. How did you try to uninstall it?
Using Windows standard uninstall procedure 
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-to-uninstall-apps-windows-10

4. What messages did you get when you tried to uninstall it?
The message says : "Uninstalled". But I still have the icon over the App
list. 

5. How did you install two different 3.x versions?
I tried to reinstall to do a proper uninstall. I tried with the latest
version that might fix some bugs.

You use the same external IP address, just use the right port number

Exactly. The easiest way is to set up port forwarding in your cable

easy.

Defer, ensure library is loaded

[Jason]

I have a variety of scripts that import some large libraries, and rather than 
create a million little scripts with specific imports, I'd like to so something 
like

psycopg2 = ensure_imported (psycopg2)

This way, regardless of invocation I can know psycopg2 is loaded, if it hasn't 
already been loaded. If I just do a normal import 95% of the time I'll be 
waiting time with a meaningless import.


Can I do that somehow?

Yep! It's written like this:

import psycopg2

If it's already been imported, Python will go fetch it straight from
the cache, so it's fast.

(The cache is in "sys.modules", if you're curious. "import sys" to
have a look at it.)

Please believe Python when it tells you that something is a dictionary. 
Trust me, the interpreter knows. It doesn't matter how much you want 
something to be a string, if it is not a string, it isn't a string.

Sometimes regexes are needed, but often Jamie Zawinski is right:

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, 
I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.


Using the nuclear-powered bulldozer of regular expressions to crack the 
peanut of a simple fixed-string matching problem is rarely a good idea.

a) Makes sure python 3 is installed, prompting the user to install it if not
b) Makes sure pip and virtualenv are installed, and installs them if needed
c) Sets up a virtualenv in the distribution directory
d) Installs all needed modules in the virtualenv - this step requires that dev 
tools are installed, a separate install.
e) modifies the configuration files to match the user and directory, and 
f) Installs a launchd script to run the uwsgi application

This actually seems to work fairly well, and by giving the script a .command 
extension, which automatically gets associated with terminal under OS X, the 
end user can simply double-click setup.command without having to go into 
terminal themselves. The main stumbling block then is the install of python3 - 
the user still has to manually download and install it in addition to my code, 
which I'd prefer to avoid - having to install my code separate from the Alexa 
skill is already an annoyance. As such, I'm considering three possible 
solutions:

1) Make some sort of installer package that includes the python3 installer
2) Somehow automate the download and install of Python3, or
3) re-write my code to be python 2 compatible (since python 2 is included with 
the OS)

If anyone has any suggestions on how I could accomplish 1 or 2, I'd appreciate 
it. Thanks!

RE: Can't Uninstall !

[Pedro Crescencio]

RESOLVED

To answer Jerry, I found solution.

Point 3.
First try: uninstall using Windows 10 interface to uninstall 
Like this 
https://malwaretips.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Uninstall-Application-from-Windows-10.jpg
Second try: right click over the program bouton on Start Menu
1st option of this link 
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-to-uninstall-apps-windows-10
It send to "Windows 7" like interface menu : 
http://www.uninstalltips.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/uninstall-program.png

The second works!
Can not explain why, but it does.
It's good enough. 

Thanks

Would using homebrew help?

http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install3/osx/

BTW, you might use curl  | bash to get the ball rolling.

I wouldn't recommend moving from 3.x to 2.x, unless perhaps you use a

Suggestions on programming in Python an email simple client

[Maroso Marco]

Hi,

what i'm trying to do is develop my own email client, but a simple one.

I just want it to connect to a specific email account and read the subject line 
of messages coming from a certain email address.

I then want it to be able to execute the command i wrote on the subject.

It would be nice if i could specify two parameters on the subject line

first : password;
second : command;

The first parameter is the password and the second is the command to be 
executed in the local pc where this program is running.

The program will have to show only email coming from a specific account
and if the mail is unread then it should read the subject line and find 
parameters.
The first parameter must match my hardcoded password, and the second parameter 
must be executed on the local pc (example ... c:\windows\notepad.exe)

It must check for new emails at a given timing (example ...every 30 seconds )
 (the timing can be hardcoded or specified in a separate file)

This is it.

Any suggestions?

I have started doing this (but i never programmed in python before):


import imaplib
import os
import email
import email.header

plusmail = "emailaddresstobechec...@gmail.com"
googlepass = "mypassword"
owner = "validsen...@gmail.com"

M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
M.login(plusmail, googlepass)
M.select()

status, response = M.search(None, '(UNSEEN)')
unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()

# Print the count of all unread messages
print (len(unread_msg_nums))

# Print all unread messages from a certain sender of interest
status, response = M.search(None, '(UNSEEN)', '(FROM "%s")' % (owner))
unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()
da = []
for e_id in unread_msg_nums:
_, response = imap.fetch(e_id, '(BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (From Subject)] 
RFC822.SIZE)')
da.append(response[0][1])
# print (da)

# Mark them as seen
for e_id in unread_msg_nums:
imap.store(e_id, '+FLAGS', '\Seen')



typ, data = M.search(None, 'From',(owner))
for num in data[0].split():
typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
print ('Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1]))
M.close()
M.logout()

I know there are duplicates but i need to figure out how to build this 
correctly 


Thanks in advance for any help given.

Be aware that "from" addresses can easily be forged. I suggest
whitelisting a set of valid commands and executing only those. If you
want a REAL way to manage your home system remotely, I would recommend
SSH instead.

That's an improvement, but since the password is being transmitted in
clear text, it won't prevent attacks. It does mean you won't try to
execute the subject lines of random spam, though, so accidents will be
reduced (or eliminated).

Seems like a reasonable start. So what's the code doing wrong, or
failing to do? Is it failing with an exception? Is it running
successfully, but not doing something you want it to do?

Hi Chris and thanks for replying.

I came up with the following code (thanks for the security suggestions-i'm just 
testing) :

My code actually works fine allthough i have a couple of problems :

1 - once parced the messages and executed the command in the subject line, it 
keeps looping even if i told to only execute on unread messages
2 - it loops continuosly instead of waiting the correct wait time
3 - i had to add a delete statement so that the program stops looping at least 
on processing the commands.

Can you help me sort out the issue? Maybe it's an indent problem!


Here is the code : 

import imaplib
import os
import email
import email.header
import time

def mailcontroller():

# Set user, pass and allowed mail for giving commands
plusmail = "emailaddresstobechec...@gmail.com"
googlepass = "thesecretpassword"
captain = "theallowedemailaddr...@gmail.com"

# Set vars for IMAP access
M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
M.login(plusmail, googlepass)
M.select()

# Set search on UNSEEN messages
status, response = M.search(None, '(UNSEEN)')
unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()


# Mark as read
for e_id in unread_msg_nums:
M.store(e_id, '+FLAGS', '\Seen')

# cycle messages sent from autorized email address
typ, data = M.search(None, 'From',(captain))
for num in data[0].split():
typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
msg = email.message_from_string(data[0][1])
decode = email.header.decode_header(msg['Subject'])[0]
subject = unicode(decode[0])
comando = subject

That's a thought. I could offer the user the option of either a) automatically 
installing homebrew and then installing python3 via homebrew, or b) manually 
downloading and running the python3 installer.

On that note, is there a fixed url that will always get the latest python3 
installer? Of course, I might not want to do that, for example after 3.7 or 4.0 
(I know, not for a while) is released, just in case something breaks with a 
newer release.

Yeah, that idea kinda left a sour taste in my mouth, but I figured I'd throw it 
out there as it would solve the python install issue.

Seems like a reasonable start. So what's the code doing wrong, or
failing to do? Is it failing with an exception? Is it running
successfully, but not doing something you want it to do?

Hi Chris and thanks for replying.

I came up with the following code (thanks for the security suggestions-i'm just 
testing) :

My code actually works fine allthough i have a couple of problems :

1 - once parced the messages and executed the command in the subject line, it 
keeps looping even if i told to only execute on unread messages
2 - it loops continuosly instead of waiting the correct wait time
3 - i had to add a delete statement so that the program stops looping at least 
on processing the commands.

Can you help me sort out the issue? Maybe it's an indent problem!


Here is the code :

import imaplib
import os
import email
import email.header
import time

def mailcontroller():
 
 # Set user, pass and allowed mail for giving commands

 plusmail = "emailaddresstobechec...@gmail.com"
 googlepass = "thesecretpassword"
 captain = "theallowedemailaddr...@gmail.com"

 # Set vars for IMAP access
 M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
 M.login(plusmail, googlepass)
 M.select()

 # Set search on UNSEEN messages
 status, response = M.search(None, '(UNSEEN)')
 unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()


 # Mark as read
 for e_id in unread_msg_nums:
 M.store(e_id, '+FLAGS', '\Seen')


Here you iterate through all of the messages:


 # cycle messages sent from autorized email address
 typ, data = M.search(None, 'From',(captain))
 for num in data[0].split():
 typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
 msg = email.message_from_string(data[0][1])
 decode = email.header.decode_header(msg['Subject'])[0]
 subject = unicode(decode[0])
 comando = subject

These lines are indented the same as the 'for' loop above, so they'll 
executed only the last message. If there are no messages, 'subject' 
won't be defined.

Django-hotsauce 1.0 commercial edition looking for beta testers!

[Etienne Robillard]

Hello everyone,

Django-hotsauce 1.0 commercial edition (LTS) is now available for 
preorder :)


Checkout: https://www.livestore.ca/product/django-hotsauce/

I'm also looking for expert Django and Python programmers to test and 
review the design and API of Django-hotsauce 1.0 commercial edition in 
order to develop a low-cost, high-performance, Django alternative 
microframework to develop scalable web apps in Python and WSGI. 
Furthermore, i will always be happy to support a free version of 
Django-hotsauce in order to drive the development and research of 
Python/Django web programming. :)


Final note, the Paypal payment gateway is experimental. I might one day 
decide to switch to monero or flashcoin... I'm not really sure it's a 
good idea yet.


What do you think?

Etienne

Re: Defer, ensure library is loaded

Since Jason is talking about "a variety of scripts", it is quite possible 
that the sys.modules cache will not save him. Consider a scenario of a 
dozen scripts, each importing psycopg2. Since each script runs in its own 
interpreter process, sys.modules is cleared from one run to the next.

For scripts run by hand, this rarely matters. (After all, the time to run 
the script is often less than the time it takes to type in the command to 
run and hit Enter.) But for scripts called by other scripts, this can 
sometimes cause a significant slowdown.

(My understanding is that this is one of the reasons for the Apache 
module "mod_python", to ensure a single Apache process runs a single, 
long-running Python interpreter for any Python scripts, rather than 
starting and stopping a new interpreter like ordinary CGI scripts would 
do.)

I must admit though, I don't really understand Jason's problem or whether 
your answer is even relevant.

Jason, I'm afraid I don't understand your question. I don't understand 
what "ensure_imported" is supposed to do, or how it is different from a 
regular import, or where you are supposed to put it.

If you have a "million scripts" that look like this:

# count down from script 100 to 1...
import psycopg2
...

# script 99
import psycopg2
...

# script 98
import psycopg2
...


etc, how is that different from a million scripts that look like this?

# count down from script 100 to 1...
psycopg2 = ensure_imported(psycopg2)
...


Aside from the ensure_imported version being about double as much typing.

Nor do I understand what you mean by having to spend 95% of your time 
waiting for a meaningless import. If the import is "meaningless", that 
could only possibly mean that you aren't using the imported module. So 
the solution to that is to simply *not* import it. You shouldn't start 
off every module by importing a bazillion modules that you don't use. 
Import only what you actually use.

If you explain your problem a little better, we can possibly help you 
solve it.

Oh, one last thing... you cannot write something like this:

foomodule = ensure_imported(foomodule)

because the interpreter has to evaluate the value of the name "foomodule" 
on the right hand side of the assignment, and since it hasn't been 
imported yet, you will get a NameError. You have to write:

foomodule = ensure_imported("foomodule")  # note the quotation marks

to have it work.

There are a number of things that are confusing about this.  You should 
state clearly what django-hotsauce is. You say "Django alternative 
microframework."  Usually people use "Django" and "microframework" as 
opposites, not something you can combine together.


You say there will be a free version.  Does it already exist? Link to it.

Finally, you seem to be asking experts to volunteer their time to help 
you design and test software that you will then sell.  This seems 
unrealistic at best, and exploitive or unfair at worst.
