How can I do this in Python?

[Lad]

Hi,
I have a web program and a user can have access to a page only after he
logged in.
So, the program comes with  a Login form and the user logins.But I do
not know how to return the user back to where he came from, after a
successful login.

Something like this:

PageWhereUserMustBeLogin >UserSigned->-

^--<---<|

How to compare files

[Lad]

Hi,
What is the best method for comparing two files by words?
I was thinking about reading files by words and compare them but a word
in one file can be linked with a new line character ( \n)
and this '\n' will cause that the words will considered to be
different( eventhough without '\n' are the same)

Thanks for help.

How can I run a program?

[Lad]

Hello,
I am running Python on XP and have a problem with
a  program  if its name consists '-' for example:

When I try to run a program with such name
I get the error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?

Python thinks that the name of program is my.py only
but the name is my-program.py

Administrative prohibition error when sending email

[Lad]

I use a new webhosting provider and I can not send an email from my
script.
This is the script that I use to test the connection

###
import smtplib,poplib,

#I first login to my POP3 account
M=poplib.POP3('www.mywebh.com')
M.user('MYWeb)
M.pass_('12345')
print M.pass_ #check if you login successfully

#next send a message
fromaddr = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
toaddrs  = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
msg="This is a test"
server = smtplib.SMTP('www.ebayworldstuff.com:25')

server.set_debuglevel(1)
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
server.quit()
#

It ends with SMTP error 550: Administrative prohibition

Question on sorting

[Lad]

Hi,
I have a file of records of 4 fields each.
Each field is separated by a semicolon. That is

Filed1;Ffield2;Field3;Field4

But there may be also empty records such as

(only semicolons).

For sorting I used
#
lines = file('Config.txt').readlines()# a file I want to sort
lines.sort()
ff=open('ConfigSorted.txt','w')# sorted file
ff.writelines(lines)
ff.close()
###
It was sorted but empty records were first. I need them to be last(at
the end of the file). How can I do that?

Ok, I tried

>>> diff=b-a
>>> diff
datetime.timedelta(0, 52662, 922000)
>>> diff.min
datetime.timedelta(-9)


which is not good for me.

So I tried to use toordinal like this
diff=b.toordinal()-a.toordinal()

but I get 
diff=1

Why?
where do I make a mistake?

bb=datetime.datetime(2006, 8, 3, 17, 59, 36, 46000)

I found out that if I do not decode the string at all, it looks
correct. But I do not know  why it is ok without decoding.
I use Django and I do not use use_unicode=True" to the connect() call.

Any idea how to do this in Python?

[Lad]

In a web application users can post some information. I would like to
link each posting with a "weight of importance" for a user, depending
on a keywords in the posting.
For example, I know that a user A is interested in Nokia mobiles while
user B in Siemens mobiles.
So, if a user A is signed, he would see postings with more Nokia
information FIRST, while B user will see  FIRST  information about
Siemens mobiles
How can be that done in Python?

How can I add two dictionaries into one?
E.g.
a={'a:1}
b={'b':2}

I need

the result {'a':1,'b':2}.

Is it possible?

Thank you

Thank you ALL for help.
However It does not work as I would need.
Let's suppose I have

 a={'c':1,'d':2}
 b={'c':2}
but
 a.update(b)
will make
{'c': 2, 'd': 2}

and I would need
{'c': 3, 'd': 2}

(because `c` is 1 in `a` dictionary and `c` is 2 in `b` dictionary, so
1+2=3)

How can be done that?
Thank you for the reply

Steven,
Thank you for your reply and question.

>
> What should the result be if both dictionaries have the same key?
The answer: the values should be added together and assigned to the key
That is
{'a':1, 'b':5}
( from your example below)

Is there a solution?
Thanks for the reply

Re: Dictionaries

[Lad]

Steven,
Thank you for help;
Here is a code that works in a way I need


A={'c':1,'d':2,'e':3,'f':2}
B={'c':2,'e':1}
if len(A)>=len(B):
Delsi=B
C = A.copy()
else:
Delsi=A
C = B.copy()

for key, value in Delsi.items():
if C.has_key(key):
C[key]=C[key]+value
else:
C[key]=value



How easy :-)

L.

Dictionaries again - where do I make a mistake?

[Lad]

I use the following code  to sort dictionary.


Olddict={'r':4,'c':1,'d':2,'e':3,'f':2}
Newdict={}
i = [(val, key) for (key, val) in Olddict.items()]
i.sort() # by val
i.reverse() # Get largest first.
for (val, key) in i:
print key,val
Newdict[key]=val
print Olddict
print Newdict


Sorting seems to be OK,.
the command
print key,val
prints the proper values
 but I can not create Newdict to be sorted properly.

Where do I make a mistake?
Thank you for help.

FOR statement

[Lad]

If I have a list

Mylist=[1,2,3,4,5]
I can print it

for i in Mylist:
   print i

and results is
1
2
3
4
5


But how can I  print it in a reverse order so that I get
5
4
3
2
1



?

I want to to do that as easy as possible. I think the easest way could
be add( append) an image to another into an image file so that I can
use an image browser and see all pictures in one file.
Is that possible?

I was thinking about much less complicated task.
I thought about this:
Open a picture file( download it from internet) and write it in a
result file( being open in binary mode).
Then download another file and append to the result file.
And so on...
But is it possible? Will be the pictures in the result file seen
well??

Fredrik,
Thank you for the reply.
So I did the following:

1.
I downloaded jpeg (from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/ ) source
libraries( file jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz)  and installed them. Now in
/usr/local/lib I have the following files: cjpeg
,djpeg,jpegtran,rdjpgcom and wrjpgcom
2.
I opened setup.py file  in Imaging 1.1.5 directory
and changed JPEG_ROOT =None into
JPEG_ROOT = "/usr/local/lib/"

3.ran  python setup.py build_ext -i
but it still says

*** JPEG support not available

What did I wrong?
Can you please help?
Thank you

Tim ,
Thank you for the explanation,
And I must also thank you all you others, who helped me.
Particularly,  bearophile and Max.

Now I use the following code , that provided bearophile,

from PIL import Image
im = Image.open("output3.jpg")
nx, ny = im.size
im2 = im.resize((int(nx*2.5), int(ny*2.5)), Image.BICUBIC)
im2.save("2000.png",dpi=(520,520))


and very important thing was dpi=(520,520) that provided Max,

The most important thing now is how to add a support for video files.

As to kind of videos, it is not too much important because I can allow
user to upload/play a certain kinds of videos only or transform some
kinds of videos into the correct types

PyMedia - some questions

[Lad]

Hi,
Can anyone answer the following questions?

Question 1.
Can pyMedia create/convert FLV format? I explain in details.
As I would like
to publish videos for viewing in a browser , I need a good video
format.
I learned that  FLV (Flash(tm) Video) format could be a good choice.
Or does anybody suggest a better format???


Question 2 .
So, I need to convert a file captured from a video camera into that
FLV (Flash(tm) Video) format .
Can pyMedia do that or must I use ffmpeg directly
like this( to convert from avi to FLV )
ffmpeg -i [sourcefile.avi] -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s
320×240 [destfile.flv]


Question 3,

This command creates a simple FLV format file, containing the video and
audio streams. In addition, FLV files need meta-information such as
duration, frames, etc. FLV movie players use this information to
calculate progress bar sliders and allow the user to fast-forward or
reverse through the video.
Can PyMedia add such meta- information?


Thank you for help

Re: Video stream server

[Lad]

Hi Paul,
I checked your video strem server.It seems interesting for me.
 Can you please answer these questions?
1. What is a price?
2.Do you support FLV format files, if not, why?
3. How many users do already use the server?
4. Can you name any of your customers ?

Thank you
Lad,

SSH File Transfer Protocol or SFTP

[Lad]

Is there a module in Python available that I can use for uploading
files via
  SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)?
Or do you think that FTP protocol for files uploading  is OK?

Large files uploading

If a user will  upload large files via FTP protocol, must  the  user

server?

Re: Large files uploading

[Lad]

Fredrik,
Thank you for your reply
I need to upload large files ( about  100MB ).
HTTP protocol provides FORMs for uploading  which is elegant and good
solution for small files but using HTTP protocol for large files  is
not good ( server's timeouts,   big memory consumption on server's
side, etc.).
So,I was thinking about FTP protocol, but there may be better solutions
too.
(FTP server would be running on server)
I am sure, it can be done this or that way in Python too. (YouTube.com
is a good example)
Do you have any idea how to do that?

Thank you
Lad,


As I mentioned YouTube also uses Python , so I thi

How to replace a comma

[Lad]

In a text I need to
add a blank(space) after a comma but only if there was no blank(space)
after the comman
If there was a blank(space), no change is made.

I think it could be a task for regular expression but can not figure
out the correct regular expression.
Can anyone help, please?

 Maxim ,
Thank you for your reply.
Here is an example:
If a user uploads 100MB file ,
what will be a consumption of memory, when the upload is complete?

Or does it mean that Apache will read a part of a file , store it in a
temporary file, then read another part and adds this part to the
temporary file and so on until the whole uploaded file is read?
Thank you for the reply.

Encoding

[Lad]

I have a script that uses utf-8 encoding. Now I would like to send some
data to an application ( on another server) that uses 1250 encoding.
How can I tell the server that the coming data will be in utf-8 code?
I tried this
params='some data'
h = httplib.HTTP(self.host)
h.putheader("Content-type", "multipart/form-data;
boundary=---7d329422844")
h.putheader("Content-length", "%d" % len(params))
h.putheader("Accept-Language", "us-en")
h.putheader('Accept', 'image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg,
image/pjpeg, */*')
h.putheader('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows
NT 5.1)')
h.putheader('Host', 'server')
h.endheaders()
.


but it doesn't work. The data are not encoded properly
Thanks for help
