Re: problem with special characters in filename
Try this:
import shutil,os
file1 = open('a.dat','r') #opens file for reading
for line in file1:
print line
##old_name = line[0:len(line)-1] #gets rid of "\n" suffix
##print old_name
line.strip() #gets rid of "\n" suffix
print line
os.rename('b.dat',line) #renames file
file1.close()

Subject: problem with special characters in filename
using:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Hello
I have two files (let's assume they are all in the same directory):
1) "a.dat" containing the single line "Sébastien.dat"
2) "Sébastien.dat" containing arbitraty data
I want to:
open "a.dat"
read in the single line ("Sébastien.dat")
copy the file described by the single line ("Sébastien.dat") to
another location with name "b.dat"
This is what I have started with:
import shutil
file = open('a.dat','r') #opens file for reading
for line in file:
print line
old_name = line[0:len(line)-1] #gets rid of "\n" suffix
print old_name
shutil.copy(old_name, 'b.dat') #copies file
However I get the following error:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'S\xc3\xa9bastien.dat'
I'm sure this has something to do with encoding and decoding UTF-8 and
Unicode or something like that, but everything I've tried has yet to
produce any favourable results.
Thanks
Dino

Need script to download file from a server using python script
Hi,
I am fairly new to python and i am looking for a python script to
download file(latest build) from the server. But, the build name changes
daily. For Ex: today the build URL will be
"http://mybuilds/myapp_1234.exe"; and tomorrow it will be
"http://myserver/mybuilds/myapp_3456.exe";. So i need a script which downloads
the latest build without any knowledge of build number.
Can anyone help me?
Advance thanks,
This is my start:
###
import os,sys,httplib,time,
Server="myserver"
Build2Download=mybuilds/myapp_3456.exe
installer=myapp_3456.exe
print "Downloading Installer... from the site:%s"%Server
connection=httplib.HTTPConnection(Server)
connection.request("GET",Build2Download)
resp = connection.getresponse()
if resp.status != 200:
print "Error getting installer. GET response : %d %s" % (resp.status,
resp.reason)
sys.exit(-1)
try:
open(Installer, 'wb').write(resp.read())
time.sleep(15)
except:
pass
###
The build number keeps changing. So how can i use wildchars(?) or something
else to handle change in the build no.?
Advance Thanks,
Murali.
