The ONLY thing that prevents me from using Python
I have been using java (jsp/servlets), vb/asp and perl for a few years. Almost all my projects are web site development related, and many of my clients' web sites are hosted on those shared web hosting services. The problem is that it's difficult to find hosting services with Python installed and supported. And most hosting companies are reluctant to install it for you because they don't want to do the extra work(they would always say to me, why don't you use php or java or asp or per?). I have searched and found some companies that support Python. But still there are far few choices than other options. I am sure this issue has already been raised a billion times. I just feel very frustrated on this. I want to learn and use Python in my web projects. One day in last December I decided to learn Python, because of Bruce Eckel's recommendation on his web site (I started java with his book). After writing a few scripts (each with a hundred lines or less), I really liked Python, even though at first to me, it has a very different style and mindset from my accustomed java approach. I enjoyed the experience and was ready to delve into the OO and other aspect of Python. But because of the hosting issue, I stopped and since then have spent more time on php, and it seems that I would soon become a full time PHPer now. I really wish Python could be more widely available on web server machines. This is just my own experience and I would like to hear your comments. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: The ONLY thing that prevents me from using Python
Thank you all for the messages. I agree with Bill on that I was just whining here. I should do a bit more research. I guess I am just getting accustomed to the endless supplies of asp/php hosting services. All I need to do is shopping for the lowest price/good service. But it's not the case for Python, so for a newbie like me it's a little discouraging. Now I have more information I will look into it, and hopefully can pick up Phthon again. To tell you the truth, after perl, java, vb, and (some) php and groovy, I want to settle down on something (along with java). That maybe the reason of my frustration. :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
PySQLite Table indexing inside a functions

PySQLLite Speed
Hello All, I wondering if anyone has encountered the same issue with using PySQL. This is my first time using this DB so this preformance may be typical. I'm reading an ASCII file through PyParse that contains about 1.3Meg of Float data. 8000 Triangles (3 Vertexes and 1 Normal). This file reads fine the PC has a utilization of 50% for Python. Then when it starts to write the Database, the PC Util drops to 1-2% and it takes forever. I'm not PC related preformance barriers that I'm aware of.

Hello All,
I wanted to thank Roger Binn for his email. He had
the answer to my issue with writing speed. It's
actual made an incredible change in the preformace. I
didn't have to go all the way to implementing the
synchronous mode(for my app). Previously, I was
insert one record at a time. The key was to write
them all at one time. I moved up to a 13 meg file and
wrote it to the db in secs. Now the issue is the 120
meg of RAM consumed by PyParse to read in a 13 meg
file. If anyone has thoughts on that, it would be
great. Otherwise, I will repost under a more specific
email.
Thanks,
Kevin

Re: two questions about thread
The best way to do this is by using a flag or event that the child-threads monitor each loop (or multiple times per loop if it's a long loop). If the flag is set, they exit themselves. The parent thread only has to set the flag to cause the children to die. Kevin.

Re: Placing graphics & text on printed page - jan06call.jpg (0/1)
One option is to create your page as an image file using PIL (which can handle your text and drawing requirements, as well as any pictures/graphics), then print it to a windows printer using my ImagePrintWin module. ImagePrintWin can print to any normal windows printer, and includes an optional GUI for doing a "Printer Setup" type dialog (including preview). It can even handle ICC profiles for your printer if you want color accuracy. You can download ImagePrintWin (GPL'd) from my site at: http://www.cazabon.com/python/downloads/ImagePrintWin.py The pyCMS module for doing ICC is available also on my site at: http://www.cazabon.com/pyCMS/ Kevin Cazabon.

Problem with smtplib and py2exe
Hi everyone,
I'm running Python 2.5.1 on an XP-Pro platform, with all the updates
(SP2, etc) installed. I have a program (send_file.py) that sends a
file to a service provider, using an ftp connection. The program
works properly, and I've created an 'exe' of it, using py2exe. It was
distrubuted to my user base a couple of weeks ago and seems to be
working well. None of the users have Python installed on their
machines, thus the need for an 'exe' for the program.
I now need to add an email function to the program, to automatically
send an email to a select user list when the program is completed.
I've made the appropriate modifications to my code, and the program
works properly when I run it from Python. When I try to make an exe
out of my new program, however, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python25/send_ftp/setup.py", line 17, in
console = [{"script": 'send_file.py'}] )
File "C:\Python25\lib\distutils\core.py", line 168, in setup
raise SystemExit, "error: " + str(msg)
SystemExit: error: command 'C:\Python25\pythonw.exe' failed with exit
status 1
The 'setup.py' script is the same one I used to generate the 'exe' of
the original program. The email-related code was added to my
'send_file.py' program as a function - it's not a separate module. If
all of the changes are commented out, the py2exe function works. But
as soon as I activate even the line "import smtplib", the py2exe
process spits out the error above.
If I put only the email portions of code in a test program, and run it
from Python, it works, but if I try make an 'exe' out of the test
program, I get the same error as above.
Is there an inherent incompatibility between smtplib and py2exe? Does
anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this problem?

Re: Problem with smtplib and py2exe
Thanks, Terry, you pointed me in the right direction with the reference to the "DEBUG". I dug out my "Learning Python" book, to read up on the debugger, and one of the things I came across was a section on IDLE's debugger. It said essentially that if you get an error that doesn't make sense when you're trying to run another program (in this case, py2exe) with IDLE, then run the program from the command line instead. I did that, and much to my surprise, I was able to generate the 'exe' that I needed. I guess the incompatibility isn't necessarily between 'py2exe' and 'smtplib' after all, but between 'py2exe' and 'IDLE'. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
calling another python file within python
i have a python file called pyq which outputs stock quotes, currently i
also have a html file that takes stock ticker inputs, i would like to
bridge the two by building another program that takes the html inputs
and uses them to call the pyq stock ticker program and then output them
into a text file...
any idea how to do this? my tentative code is:

import os
import urllib
os.system("python pyq.py ibm > text1.txt")
note: currently the text1.txt outputted is just blank, however if i run
the command normally as 'python pyq.py ibm' in the command line, it
works correctly and gives me the price of ibm.

Re: how to run another file inside current file?
Hi,
It's better to specify version of python you work with. I know nothing
about python 3 but in python 2 you can do this with `exec`. Example:
> f = file('otherFile.py')
> exec f
For more, read the doc:

You can either use `raw_input` to read data and convert it to right type, or
use `input` to get an integer directly. Read this:

Re: Having a hard time to 'get' bing api search results
Your welcome.
To be honest I am not 100% on the differences between.
I could be off, but I recall urllib2 was a more refined version of urllib.
Yet it seems like urllib works better for me, when I need to do a simple call
like this.

Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?
Hi, I have written a script to poll some registry values but remote registry is turned off through GPO on the network I need to run it against. The account running the script is an admin on these boxes. Is there a way for me to turn on remote registry for the duration of the script's runtime? Thanks for your help.

Re: Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?
Thanks! I think this is getting me on the right track. Now when I attempt to start the RemoteRegistry service I am getting an exception "The RPC server is unavailable." However, I am done with this for today so back at it on Monday. Thanks for your help.

Re: Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?
Back at it this morning. The RPC was due to needing to run it under another account (or so I think now...). However, the RemoteRegistry service is not just STOPPED but DISABLED. I am trying to see if there is a call to actually set the state to MANUAL. Then I can star the registry, grab what I need, stop the service, then set it back to disabled Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? Thanks for your help.

Re: Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?
Thanks, I will look into that. WMI is enabled, but everything WMI query I wrote (& I am NOT a WMI expert or even close) gave me a bunch of NIC info, but not the info I am after in the registry (driver description, driver date, driver version for the NICs).

Re: Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?
Tim,
I am looking here:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BF9F6FB0-C999-4D19-BED0-144F77E2A9D6}
Enumerating the keys for a BusType == 5, then grabbing the values of
DriverDesc, DriverDate, & DriverVersion.
So I am doing this:
try:
hKey = _winreg.OpenKey (keyPath,
r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BF9F6FB0-C999-4D19-BED0-144F77E2A9D6}",
0, _winreg.KEY_READ)
i=0
while True:
try:
subkey = _winreg.EnumKey(hKey, i)
i += 1
if (subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"BusType") == "5"):
outputline = host + "," +
subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"DriverDesc") + "," +
subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"DriverDate") + "," +
subkey.QueryValueEx(hKey,"DriverVersion") + "\n"
print outputline
outputFile.write(outputLine)
except WindowsError, e:
# WindowsError: [Errno 259] No more data is available
pass
except:
print "Unable to query registry key for NIC adapters"
Thanks. I am reviewing the WMI Registry piece you sent over right now. I
am certainly open to anyway I can get the info. I have some odd behaviors
across some servers during vulnerability scanning & have a suspicion that
some driver discrepancies on the NIC are to blame.

Re: Is there a way to programmatically turn on remote registry?
Tim,
I am re-implementing in my script now. I'll let you know how it goes... I
just realized that the key that I sent over was completely wrong I am
not sure how I even got it as it is the combination of two different keys
from two different scripts... must have been working too long and
everything blending together... :)
Thanks for your help!

Basically, it parses a list of hosts from a CSV, outputs a series of lines:

The machine I am testing from is Windows7, the machine I will run this from
is running an exe generated from py2exe and is running Windows 2008 server.
The machines I am targeting are all Windows 2003 Server machines, though I
am hoping to also expand and use this script on a number of Windows XP
devices (which shouldn't be a problem...)

Executing .exe on a remote Windows machine
Good morning, I wrote a python script to connect out to a bunch of my remote machines that are running some software. It modifies a bunch of the config files for me. After making the changes, I need to restart the software. The way to do this is to call an .exe passing in a argument 'restart' Simply restarting services is NOT acceptable & rebooting the machine isn't either. I was trying to find a way to simply call the .exe on the remote machine with subprocess but how can I get it to execute on the remote machine? These machines do not have SSH. Is there a way to do this or am I stuck coordinating a time when the machines can be rebooted? (because this would be faster than asking anyone on site to execute the command) Thanks for your help.

My code
[code]
try:

I am simply trying to restart the splunk forwarder instance
Any thoughts??

re.search when used within an if/else fails
python version 2.4.3, yes i know that it is old. getting the sysadmin to update the OS requires a first born. with the following code.. for signal in register['signals'] : 351 sigName = signal['functionName'] 352 if re.search( "rsrvd", sigName ) == None : 353 print sigName 354 newVal = "%s%s" % ( '1'*signal['bits'] , newVal ) #prepend 0's 355 if re.search( "rsrvd", sigName ) != None : 356 print sigName 357 newVal = "%s%s" % ( '0'*signal['bits'], newVal ) regardless of how i code line 352, i can not EVER use an else clause with it. if i use an else clause, the else will NEVER get executed... has any one experienced anything like this behavior? any suggestions? the above code works but... why should i have to code it like this? kevin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

i will not include line #'s in the future, point taken
i will change ==/!= to is/is not as most people pointed out.
there is no else because it doesn't work.
i used eclipse in debug mode and a command line execution of the code, both
behave the same way
#if re.search( "rsrvd", sigName ) : #version a
#if re.search( "rsrvd", sigName ) == None : #version b
if re.search( "rsrvd", sigName ) is None : #version bb
print sigName
newVal = "%s%s" % ('1'*signal['bits'] , newVal )
#else: #version c
if re.search( "rsrvd", sigName ) != None : #version d
print sigName
newVal = "%s%s" % ( '0'*signal['bits'],> newVal )
i can use either version a/b the else clause (version c) will not execute.
fortunately, with version bb, the else clause will execute!!
thanks for the input all..

I went back and tried version a again, blam it is/does work now ?!?!?
I am not sure what changed but version a was the original code that
wouldn't work. All the examples i had read, showed version a as a
working version. I spent significant time trying version a with
parens, spacing changes, different regex values to no avail. hence
the creation of all the other versions.

Re: re.search when used within an if/else fails
I agree. Being relatively new to python, i was not sure of quirks so i posted the original code. I did find the real issue, as I found another loop that was not being executed properly. It turns out that if the indent started with spaces and ended with tabs, neither eclipse or command line execution would complain. where as if the indent begins with tabs and has spaces in the middle the tools will complain of indentation issues. i have found that the vi plugin for python is the culprit here. when the plugin does block indentation, the result is indents that begin with spaces. if i disable the vi plugin and use the regular eclipse editor these issues go away. with other languages i always expand tabs to spaces. the vi plugin does do this properly. if i change all indents to be spaces only will python behave? i inherited a good deal of the code that i am using, which is tab based. thanks kevin On Wednesday, November 21, 2012 11:00:50 PM UTC-6, Chris Angelico wrote: > On Thu, Nov 22, 2012 at 3:41 AM, Kevin T wrote: > > > I went back and tried version a again, blam it is/does work now ?!?!? > > > > This is why the Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example is so > > important.

Keeping a Tkinter GUI alive during a long running process
I maintain a Tkinter application that's a front-end to to a package
manger, and I have never been able to find a way to keep the app from
locking up at some point during the piping in of the package manager's
build output into a text widget. At some point the buffer is overwhelmed
and the app simply can't respond anymore, or writes data to the text
widget after locking up for a period.
I've long used the typical Tkinter design pattern of opening a pipe to
the external command, and letting it do its thing. However, after a
time, this locks up the app. If I try to throttle the buffer with some
combination of "update" or "after" or "update_idletasks," that keeps the
data flowing, but it comes in too slowly and keeps flowing in long after
the external process has terminated.
Below is a sample function that illustrates how I approach this issue.
Can someone suggest a better approach?
#install a fink package
def installPackage(self):
self.package = self.infotable.getcurselection()
if not self.package:
showwarning(title='Error', message='Error', detail='Please
select a package name.', parent=self)
return
else:
self.clearData()
self.packagename = self.package[0][1]
self.status.set('Installing %s' % self.packagename)
self.setIcon(self.phynchronicity_install)
self.playSound('connect')
self.showProgress()
self.file = Popen('echo %s | sudo -S %s -y install %s' %
(self.passtext, self.finkpath.get(), self.packagename), shell=True,
bufsize=0, stdout=PIPE).stdout
for line in self.file:
self.inserturltext(line)

Second try: non-blocking subprocess pipe and Tkinter in 2.7
Yesterday I posted a question about keeping a Tkinter GUI during a long-running process, i.e. reading data from a pipe via the subprocess module. I think that question did not quite get at the heart of the issue because it assumed that Python, like Tcl which underlies Tkinter, supports non-blocking, asynchronous reading out of the box. Apparently it does not. So, my question is hereby revised as such: how can I implement a non-blocking read of a subprocess pipe that can write data to the Tkinter text widget in an manner that does not cause the GUI to lock up? --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm tempted just to go back to wxPython. Two sets of widgets in Tkinter is a little annoying. The new widgets are not a drop-in replacement for the traditional Tk widgets.

Here's a screenshot of a Tcl/Tk app using the ttk widgets on Windows: http://sourceforge.net/p/windowstoolset/screenshot/screenshot.png If modernizing the UI is all you need to do, a careful update of your code using the themed Tk widgets will take you a long way, with far less work and cost than porting your code to Python. Having said this, if you are seeing other issues with Tcl (lack of support for certain libraries/API's, code is becoming unmanagable, etc.) and you have concluded that Python is a superior choice overall, then there are a number of different routes you can take: 1. Python's built-in GUI toolkit is a wrapper for Tk called Tkinter. Recent versions of Python support the themed Tk widgets as well as the classic Tk widgets. Doing a port of your code from Tcl/Tk to Python will be somewhat simpler if you use Python's Tkinter library, because the general layout will be similar. However, there are no automated tools for mapping Tk to Tkinter that I am aware of--you will have to do a rewrite of your code. 2. Python also has bindings for many other UI toolkits, including wxWidgets (a very nice cross-platform toolkit that has native UI bindings), Qt, Gtk, and others. If you prefer a different design/toolkit/API, these may be worth a look. However, if you opt for one of these toolkits and Python, then you are essentially starting from scratch with your software--it will be a complete rewrite not just in the programming language but also in the UI design as well. That will take a great deal of additional time and cost. To sum up: a rewrite of your software in Python will amount a major-to-complete overhaul of the code base, depending on how you approach the UI design--and this will involve significant cost and time. This may make sense if you feel you have reached the end of the line with Tcl and your desire for a different language is for reasons in addition to the look and feel of the UI. However, if your software and its code is otherwise satisfactory and you need simply to update the UI design, that can be done in Tcl at far less cost using the ttk widgets.

Question about argparse and namespace
the documentation says argparse.prase_args creates a new empty namespace, but if i pass it a existing namespace, it seems to append the arguments to the existing namespace An example is if it's part of a class, calling parser.parse_args(namespace=self) doesn't seem to have any ill effects. Is this a good idea? is there a better way of doing this? -- Thanks Kevin Anthony Do you use Banshee?

Re: Pythonic cross-platform GUI desingers à la Interface Builder (Re: what gui designer is everyone using)
On 6/8/12 8:27 AM, Wolfgang Keller wrote: What "GUI designer" would come the closest to the way that Cocoa's Interface Builder works? I.e. is there any one (cross-platform) that allows to actually "connect" the GUI created directly to the code and make it available "live" in an IDE? If you're developing on the Mac, PyObjC allows you to use Interface Builder for developing Python apps. However, there are those of us who are deeply uncomfortable with IB and related tools, such as RealBasic and LiveCode/Runtime Revolution. These tools make code organization very hard by reducing the amount of code written to the point of the UI working by "magic," and/or by breaking up your code into little snippets that you can only view by clicking on the widget in the UI tool. A related issue is that using a tool such as this makes you heavily dependent on that particular tool, and subject to its developers' priorities, release schedule, and bugs. The pace of Xcode development--with Apple making frequent changes to project formats in a backwards-incompatible way--is an example of this. One reason I prefer to code UI's by hand is because a) in Tkinter it's very easy to do, and b) it allows me to have a much better mental model of my code and my app's functionality--I can put everything into as many .py files as I need to, and can edit my code with any text editor. I think these issues are a reason that the slick "drag-and-drop" UI builders tend to be developed by commercial software shops to support their language and/or IDE, but find little traction among open-source developers and languages. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
