Re: Creating a Super Simple WWW Link, Copy, & Paste into Spreadsheet Program

[Michael Herman]

Hi there -

Yes, as others have said, this is not an easy project. That said, it
can be down. I'd use a combination of DataNitro, to connect with
Excel, and Scrapy, to easily scrap and crawl the sites. I'm adept at
both and would be happy to help you with this. Email me at
mich...@mherman.org for help.

Best,

Michael

There's a syntax error at line 1 of circle.py. Try running circle.py,

Re: Import Json web data source to xls or csv

[Michael Herman]

First - you can use Python in Excel. http://www.python-excel.org/ or
https://www.datanitro.com/

Updated code:

import json
import urllib
import csv

url = "http://bitcoincharts.com/t/markets.json";
response = urllib.urlopen(url);
data = json.loads(response.read())

f = open("bitcoin.csv","wb")
c = csv.writer(f)

# write headers
c.writerow(["Currency","Symbol","Bid", "Ask", "Volume"])


for d in data:

c.writerow([str(d["currency"]),str(d["symbol"]),str(d["bid"]),str(d["ask"]),str(d["currency_volume"])])

It's really just a supplement to PyPI. I use it quite a bit. I wish they

Re: Import Json web data source to xls or csv

Looks like you got it figured out. The indentation error probably occurred
from the copy and paste job into the email.

If you're interested in getting up to speed quickly on Python and Python
Web Development, I have a kickstarter going - http://kck.st/VQj8hq

The $25 pledge will give you access to both courses - learning Python
syntax and Python web development

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Re: Import Question

you can check each import as it varies in loading time: time python -c

Re: Python scheduler

You could simply put a time delay in your program at the end of the loop
before it starts again-

import time
# sleep for 1 minute
time.sleep(60)

Re: Urllib's urlopen and urlretrieve

[Michael Herman]

Are you just trying to get the html? If so, you can use this code-

*import urllib*
*
*
*# fetch the and download a webpage, nameing it test.html*
*urllib.urlretrieve("http://www.web2py.com/";, filename="test.html")*


I recommend using the requests library, as it's easier to use and more
powerful:

*import requests*

*# retrive the webpage
r = requests.get("http://www.web2py.com/";)*

*# write the content to test_request.html
with open("test_requests.html", "wb") as code:
*

*code.write(r.content)*


If you want to get up to speed quickly on internet programming, I have a
course I am developing. It's on kickstarter - http://kck.st/VQj8hq. The
first section of the book dives into web fundamentals and internet
programming.

Re: What am I doing wrong installing Python 2.7.3?

I assume you have admin privileges on your computer, correct?

Re: Python in web development

[Michael Herman]

If Python is your personal choice, then it's the *best* for you. If
you are literally just going to be processing an HTML form, then CGI
is your best bet. However, if you think this functionally will grow,
then it's worth learning a web framework.

I would go with a micro framework. bottle.py is a perfect starting
point. I am a huge Flask fan, but it's a little higher level. I have
tutorials here for Flask -

Also, check out realpythonfortheweb.com for more tutorials.

Good luck! :)
