How does Python call the system/primitive calls ?
Dear Sirs, I am trying to learn the way Python invokes system or primitive calls. I tried to locate the function in Python's source that handles such requests, but I found it's like picking a needle in ocean. Maybe you can let me know where to look for the documents and background readings ?-- James Yu[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Need help to figure out urllib2.Request()
Hi folks, I tried to open some web pages with urllib2.Request(url, data, headers), but it always give me a 404 error. Eg. url = 'http://www.whatever.com/somephp.php' data = {} data['id'] = account for i in book2Open: data['book'] = i url_data = urllib.urlencode(data) request = urllib2.Request(url, url_data, headers) response = urllib2.urlopen(request) html = response.read() ==> HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found However, the page is retrievable when I manually put url and data together. Eg. url = 'http://www.whatever.com/somephp.php' data = {} data['id'] = account for i in book2Open: data['book'] = i url_data = urllib.urlencode(data) full_url = url + '?' + url_data request = urllib2.Request(full_url, "", headers) response = urllib2.urlopen(request) html = response.read() ==> works fine Any idea ? -- This is a UTF-8 formatted mail --- James C.-C.Yu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
How to overcome the incomplete download with urllib.urlretrieve ?
This is part of my code that invokes urllib.urlretrieve: > for i in link2Visit: > localName = i.split('/') > i = i.replace(' ', '%20') > tgtPath = ['d:\\', 'work', 'python', 'grab_n_view'] > localPath = '' > for j in tgtPath: > localPath = os.path.join(localPath, j) > localPath = os.path.join(localPath, localName[-1]) > info = urllib.urlretrieve(i, localPath) > link2Visit stores the url to some photos. After the script finishes running, I got a pile of incomplete JPG files, each takes only 413 bytes of my disk space. Did I miss something before using urllib.urlretrieve ? -- This is a UTF-8 formatted mail --- James C.-C.Yu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
how to write text into file in ansi encoding ?
I am using *fileHandle = open(srcFile, 'w')* + *fileHandle.write('whatever') * to put text into a file, and Python uses utf-8 encoding by default. How do I configure or do anything to make Python writing files in ansi encoding ? -- This is a UTF-8 formatted mail --- James C.-C.Yu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: how to write text into file in ansi encoding ?
I just figure out the how-to: # first we open and read in chars as in utf-8 encoding ansiLine = line.decode('utf-8', 'ignore') # then writing it into another file in any encoding you like, it's big5 in my case. src_handle.write(ansiLine.encode('big5', 'ignore')) -- This is a UTF-8 formatted mail --- James C.-C.Yu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
The stange behaviour of Tkinter.Canvas
I tried to update the rectangle on a canvas to get the visual effect of progressbar. It works all right if I delete the existing objects (rectangle and text) and create a new one. However, if I invoke canvas.itemconfig() to update the existing objects' options, gui just went nuts. I am more than happy to receive any help and advise. My code is provided as follows: Start of Code import Tkinter import threading import time class Progressbar(Tkinter.Frame): def __init__(self, parent=None, color='white', width=200, height=15): Tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, parent) self.pack(expand=Tkinter.YES, fill=Tkinter.BOTH) canv = Tkinter.Canvas(self, bg=color, relief=Tkinter.SUNKEN) canv.config(width=width, height=height) canv.pack(side=Tkinter.LEFT, expand=Tkinter.YES, fill=Tkinter.BOTH) self.canv = canv self.width = width self.height = height progress = -10 rect = canv.create_rectangle(0, 0, 0, height, fill='beige') text = canv.create_text(width/2, height*2/3, text='0%') self.rect = rect self.text = text self.progress = progress self.parent = parent parent.progressbar = self self.UpdateProgress() def SetProgress(self, progress=0): canv = self.canv width = self.width height = self.height rect = self.rect text = self.text ##canv.delete(rect) ##canv.delete(text) ##rect = canv.create_rectangle(0, 0, progress*width/100, height, ## fill='beige') ##text = canv.create_text(width/2, height*2/3, ##text='%s' %(str(progress)) + '%') canv.itemconfig(rect, width=width*progress/100) ## comment this canv.itemconfig(text, text='%s' %(str(progress)) + '%') ## comment this ##self.rect = rect ##self.text = text def UpdateProgress(self): progress = self.progress progress = progress + 10 self.progress = progress self.SetProgress(progress) if progress < 100: self.after(500, self.UpdateProgress) if __name__ == '__main__': root = Tkinter.Tk() Progressbar(parent=root) root.mainloop() End of Code uncomment the lines and comment out the itemconfig() lines to see the difference in gui's behaviours.

How to import custom python file in python server page (psp) ?
Hi folks, I prepared a python script for dynamically get the absolute paths of the files in certain folder. Then I tried to invoke that function from my web server in a .psp file like this: 1 2 3 asdfasdfasdfa 4 5 <% 6 import glob 7 import os 8 *import Helper * 9 10 body = '' 11 top = 'asdfasdfasdfa' 12 links = {} 13 *Helper.GetLinks(top=top) * 14 *paths = Helper.GenLinkPath(links) * 15 body = paths 16 %> 17 <%=body%> 18 19 However, this is the error message I received when I open the page in a browser: > Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mod_python.psp" > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, > in HandlerDispatch > result = object(req) > > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/psp.py", line 302, in > handler > p.run() > > File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/psp.py", line 213, in > run > exec code in global_scope > > File "/var/www/.cyu021/.pic/index.psp", line 8, in > import Helper > > ImportError: No module named Helper *PS.

click on hyper link and got 404 error
I am using "mod_python.publisher" to generate my web page that contains serveral links to local files. I also replace the path with my domain name like this: curDir = os.path.dirname(__file__) link = 'http://' + hostname + '/' + os.path.basename(curDir) + '/' files = os.listdir(curDir) for i in files: body = body + '' + i + '' + '' However, browser give me 404 error whenever I click on any of the links.
