Using __init__.py
I am working on a (cross-platform) project. On linux system, the imprts work fine, but in windows I get imort error (I have no idea why. I tried searching everywhere, but couldn't get it to work). Anyways, the issue seem to be resolved by adding project directory to sys.path(). I wanted to know that can I use __init__.py file for adding a project directory to sys.path (sys.path.insert(0, directory))? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Change project licence?
Hi, I have an opensource (python) project under GPL3 licence. I wish switch to MIT licence so as to make it more permissive. I know how to change the licence, but I want to know is it fine and wise to change the licence at this point? (The project already has 19 clones, 250+ GitHub stars. Here: https://github.com/kryptxy/torrench) Thank you. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Change project licence?
Thank you all! I opened a ticket about the same (on github). I got response from most of them, and all are agreeing to the change. However, one contributor did not respond at all. I tried e-mailing, but no response. Can I still proceed changing the licence? It has been more than a week since the ticket was opened.

Running a GUI program haults the calling program (linux)
I want to run a GUI program (transmission-gtk) from python. This is what I do: import subprocess subprocess.Popen(['transmission-gtk', link], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) Where `link` is some magnetic link. This command opens transmission-gtk, but it haults the calling program, and keeps the terminal busy till the time GUI is running. As soon as GUI is closed, the control goes back to the program. Is there any way that the GUI program is opened, and immediately the control returns to calling program, instead of keeping the terminal busy? (I know transmission-remote can be used for adding torrents. Looking for a way around for transmission-gtk specifically). Thank you! Regards. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes I know about transmission-remote. I am trying to figure out a way for
running transmission-gtk without causing program to hault.

Tried std{out,err}=subprocess.DEVNULL - Did not work. The program still haults.
Also, worth noting that the program haults when transmission-gtk is opened for
the first time.
Suppose if the GUI windows is already open, and then subprocess.Popen() is run,
the torrent is added successfully, and control goes back to calling program.
(That is the program does not hault).

Here -
p = subprocess.Popen(['transmission-gtk', link], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
output, error = p.communicate()
error = error.decode('utf-8')
output = output.decode('utf-8')
if error != '':
print("\nUnable to load torrent.")
else:
print("Torrent added successfully!")
Here, transmission-gtk is opened and the program haults (at subprocess.Popen()
statement).
When I close the GUI window, I get the message "Unable to load torrent".
Error message I get:
`Unable to parse nameserver address 8.8.8.8,`
`(transmission-gtk:3982): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_file_test: assertion 'filename !=
NULL' failed`

Need some help with argparse
Hi,
I am trying to figure out something with argparse.
Here is a scenario:
I have a group of arguments, say: (-a, -b, -c, -d, -e) [lets call it group1]
I have another group, say: (-z, -y, -x, -w) [lets call it group2]
Code:
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Test this shiz")
group1= parser.add_argument_group("Group 1")
group2= parser.add_argument_group("Group 2")
group1.add_argument('-a', '--extendA', action="store_true", help="HELP")
group1.add_argument('-b', '--extendB', action="store_true", help="HELP")
group1.add_argument('-c', '--extendC', action="store_true", help="HELP")
group1.add_argument('-d', '--extendD', action="store_true", help="HELP")
group1.add_argument('-e', '--extendE', action="store_true", help="HELP")
# Similarly for group 2:
group2.add_argument('-z', '--extendZ', action="store_true", help="HELP")
group2.add_argument('-y', '--extendY', action="store_true", help="HELP")
group2.add_argument('-x', '--extendX', action="store_true", help="HELP")
group2.add_argument('-w', '--extendW', action="store_true", help="HELP")
args = parser.parse_args()
Now I want to get arguments of group1 and group2 separately.
If I print(args) - I get arguments from both the groups.
Also group1.parse_args() does not work (since ArgumentGroup does not have
parse_args() method)
How can I get all arguments of group 1 ONLY? Same goes for group 2?
I tried subparsers too - but they require a mandatory `positional argument` -
which is not application's requirement.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Will my project be accepted in pypi?
Hello, I have built a command-line torrent fetching tool. The tool fetches torrents from thepiratebay proxy sites, and display results in console. Its written in python3, and is completely open-source. Project link - https://github.com/kryptxy/torrench (You may give it a try :p) Question: (a) Can I publish such tool on pypi? (b) Also, should I publish it on pypi? I ask (b) as the packages I used from pypi (pip) were more like utility packages. They helped me in building my project. My project, on the other end is a full-fledged tool. So should I publish it on pypi? I ask (a) because the tool scraps TPB proxies, which aren't legal per se. So if I package and publish this tool, will it be accepted? If someone could assist me with this? Thank you. Regards, Rijul Gulati -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Need some advice please
Hello, I have developed a python program (tool) that fetches torrents from thepiratebay proxy sites and displays results in console/terminal window. Here: github.com/kryptxy/torrench Now, since thepiratebay contains illegal content, I am restricted from packaging this tool for other distros (Eg. AUR). As of now, the website (https://proxybay.one/) (which consists of tpb proxy site list) is hard-coded in find_url.py file. Now to bypass any legalities, I am thinking of providing a configuration file, that consists of the website's url, along with an enabling switch. The configuration file will NOT be hosted on github (means it will not be provided with package). Instead, the user will have to download the config file. If config file is configured, tool will work. Else it would prompt to configure the file. Would it get me around legal issues, that is making this tool completely legal? I could really use sone advice here. Thank you. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Need some help managing project and making it a little simple (pretty messed up code)
Hello, I am new to python. While learning python, I began a side project. Its a command-line search program. Here: https://github.com/kryptxy/torrench The project is becoming a little difficult to manage, and before it becomes more complex, I'd like to sort it out a little and make it more managable and readable. As of now, I haven't used any OOP concepts (no classes) bc while I was learning, I didn't reach the OOP part, and then spent too much time on the project (and that's probably the part I want help with). Now however, I do know about classes and basics about OOP. But, I am unable to understand how I should begin structuring the project (updating code according to OOP). If someone could have a look? Could really use some suggestions/ideas. Also, can someone point me to some (small) project where something similar is being implemented? (as in sharing similar project-structure). They can be really helpful. I did have a look at youtube-dl source. Not helpful. Seemed too complex. Hope for some positive response.
