ftplib acting weird
Hi All, I have written a little script to upload some files to an ftp folder. The problem is as follows : I wrote the script on my windows laptop, and I want to run it from mylinux server. Everything worked fine so I uploaded it to my linux machine. Every time I tun the script I get the following error: *** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftpsync]# python ftpsync.py !! The Connection to the Server Could not be established. Please Check all neccesary settings and run the script again. Thank you !! Traceback (most recent call last): File "ftpsync.py", line 194, in ? ftplisting() File "ftpsync.py", line 83, in ftplisting ftpconn.cwd(remotedir) #This changes to the remote directory File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/ftplib.py", line 494, in cwd return self.voidcmd(cmd) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/ftplib.py", line 245, in voidcmd self.putcmd(cmd) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/ftplib.py", line 175, in putcmd self.putline(line) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/ftplib.py", line 170, in putline self.sock.sendall(line) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'sendall' [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftpsync]# *** When I copy the same piece of scripting and run it from the python command shell, it works... what am I doing wrong? I have double checked everything about a million times, but to no avail. Blessings! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
progress
Hi All, I have posted yesterday about an ftplib issue, this has been resolved. I actually want to ask something here... The script that that ftplib error was from...I was wondering - What do I need to do to print the stats (speed/s, percentage done) of the upload that is running on the monitor. This script runs on a Fedora Machine. Thanx for the help guys! -- Merrigan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
long lists
Hi All, Firstly - thank you Sean for the help and the guideline to get the size comparison, I will definitely look into this. At the moment I actually have 2 bigger issues that needs sorting... 1. I have the script popping all the files that need to be checked into a list, and have it parsing the list for everything...Now the problem is this : The sever needs to check (at the moment) 375 files and eliminate those that don't need reuploading. This number will obviously get bigger and bigger as more files gets uploaded. Now, the problem that I'm having is that the script is taking forever to parse the list and give the final result. How can I speed this up? 2. This issue is actually because of the first one. While the script is parsing the lists and files, the connection to the ftp server times out, and I honestly must say that is is quite annoying. I know I can set the function to reconnect if it cannot find a connection, but wouldn't it just be easier just to keep the connection alive? Any idea how I can keep the connection alive? Thanks for all the help folks, I really appreciate it! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi, Thanx for the reply, The Script it available at this url : http://www.lewendewoord.co.za/theScript.py P.S.

Hmmm, thanks a lot. This has really been helpful. I have tried putting
it in the set, and whoops, it workes. Now, I think I need to start
learning some more.
now the script is running a lot slower...
Now to get the rest of it up and running...
Thanx for the help!

E-Mail Parsing
Hi There, I am writing a script to administer my E-Mail Server. The One thing I'm currently struggling with is kind of Parsing the E-Mail adress that I supply to the script. I need to get the username (The part BEFORE the @ sign) out of the address so that I can use it elsewhere. The problem I have with this is that both the domain, and the username are variable lenghts and that I have no idea how to split the two parts. Is there any way that I can do this? Thank ye very much. -- Merrigan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi Matt,
Thank you very much for the help. It was exactly what I was looking
for, and made my script much safer and easier to use.

Data Manipulation?
Hi There,
I Posted a while ago about a challenge I had in splitting an E-Mail
adress up to use it. Anyways, the same script but different issue.
Some Background:
The script is going to be used to manage a Virtual User Based E-Mail
system. Now the part I'm struggling with is to delete the E-Mail
address from the database, and then giving the user the option to
DELETE and/or modify any E-Mail Aliases associated to the Deleted E-
Mail Address.
The delete code up to this stage only gives me a list of associated
Aliases:
def delUser():
conn_db()
use = "USE %s" % mysql_db
db_cursor.execute(use)
print "DATABASE ONLINE"
e_mail = raw_input("Please Provide a the E-Mail Address you wish to
Delete: ")
del_statement = "DELETE FROM users WHERE email = '%s';" % e_mail
db_cursor.execute(del_statement)
un_dom = e_mail.split("@")
username = un_dom[0]
domain = un_dom[1]
domdir = maildir + '%s' % domain
os.rmdir(domdir + '/' + username + '/' + 'cur')
os.rmdir(domdir + '/' + username + '/' + 'new')
os.rmdir(domdir + '/' + username + '/' + 'tmp')
os.rmdir(domdir + '/' + username)
print "User Removed from Database. Now Proceding To associated E-Mail
Aliases"
select_statement = "SELECT source, destination FROM mail.forwardings
WHERE destination = '%s'" % e_mail
result = db_cursor.execute(select_statement)
if result >= 1:
aliasLine = 0
number = result - 1
while aliasLine <= number:
db_cursor.execute(select_statement)
answer = db_cursor.fetchall()
answer_1 = answer[aliasLine]
aliasLine = aliasLine + 1
print '%s is still linked to %s, do you wish to remove
the E-Mail
Alias?' % (answer_1[0], answer_1[1])
How can I now get this to give me the options to delete an adress, or
everything, or delete one and modify the rest...or all that you
know...
Thank ye once again, This group rocks!

making all letters Caps/Small Letters
Hi There, I'm sure I have done this before, but cannot remember how, or find out how to do it quickly - but is there a way/function/something in python to make all the letters of a raw_input() string small/capital letters? Thanks! -- Merrigan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
DB Query Parse Hangup
Hi There,
I have been working on this script, and the part that this issue that
I have occurs in is when iterating through some results from the db,
asking the admin input to delete the entry or not - everything works
fine up until the last entry, then it bombs out. I know why - but I am
not quite sure how to fix it:
The Code:
select_statement = "SELECT source, destination FROM mail.forwardings
WHERE destination = '%s'" % e_mail
result = db_cursor.execute(select_statement)
if result >= 1:
aliasLine = 0
number = result - 1
while aliasLine <= number:
db_cursor.execute(select_statement)
answer = db_cursor.fetchall()
answer_1 = answer[aliasLine]
aliasLine = aliasLine + 1
print '%s is still linked to %s.' % (answer_1[0],
answer_1[1])
#to_edit = raw_input("Please provide one of the above
mentioned E-
Mail Aliases to edit: ")
to_do = str.lower(raw_input("Would you like to
Delete(D) or
Modify(M) the alias? [D/M] "))
delete = 'd'
modify = 'm'
if to_do == delete:
del_statement = "DELETE FROM forwardings WHERE
source = '%s'" %
answer_1[0]
db_cursor.execute(del_statement)
print "Alias '%s', has been successfully
deleted." % answer_1[0]
elif to_do == modify:
print "WILL BE MODIFIED"
any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you!

How do I take a directory name from a given dir?
Hi, I am trying to write a script to backup all my company's server configs weekly. The script will run in a cronjob, on whatever I set it. The issue I am currently having isto "extract" the directory name from a given directory string. For example: from the string "/home/testuser/projects/" I need to extract the "projects" part. The problem is that the directory names that needs to be used will never be the same lenght, so as far as my (very limited) knowledge stretches, slicing and indicing is out of the question. Can anybody help me, or give me an idea of what I should look at, seeing as I'm seriously stuck. I only started coding at the beginnig of the year, and was never interested before that, so my knowlege is basically non-existent.

Sending mail with attachment...
Hi, I have now eventually finished my newbie-backup script and I'm very proud of the way it functions... Anyways, I am looking for an easy way to use smtplib to send an email with the output log of the script to multiple accounts. I need to use it with a smtp server, and cannot pipe it directly to sendmail.
