Finding user's home dir
Hi all, I'm trying to write a multiplatform function that tries to
return the actual user home directory. I saw that
os.path.expanduser("~") works on Linux but on Windows2000 (at least on
the win I used) it returns %USERPROFILE%, so I tried os.environ["HOME"]
and it gave me the same results. So I ended up with
os.environ["USERPROFILE"], it doesn't work on Linux but (at least) on
Windows2000 it returns the correct information
I googled a little bit and it seems that there is no general solution,
so I tried to merge what I found, and I wrote this little function:
def getHomeDir():
''' Try to find user's home directory, otherwise return current
directory.'''
try:
path1=os.path.expanduser("~")
except:
path1=""
try:
path2=os.environ["HOME"]
except:
path2=""
try:
path3=os.environ["USERPROFILE"]
except:
path3=""
if not os.path.exists(path1):
if not os.path.exists(path2):
if not os.path.exists(path3):
return os.getcwd()
else: return path3
else: return path2
else: return path1
Please, could you test it on your systems and tell me what you got?
I'd like to know what it returns on different operating systems because
I'm developing a multiplatform software.
Thank you all.

On my Win2000 box it returns "%USERPROFILE%". That's no surprise because if you look at the code it try to use os.environ["HOME"] (as os.path.expanduser() does). And on my Win2000 system this information points to "%USERPROFILE%" field (I don't know why, I'm not the administrator of that machine). -- Reality is for people who can't face science fiction. |\ | |HomePage : http://nem01.altervista.org | \|emesis |XPN (my nr): http://xpn.altervista.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's true :-D
But as I said in the other post os.environ["HOME"] doesn't work on my
Win2000 box.

If you look at ntpath.py (I think this is the 'path' module on
Windows 2000) in you Lib dir you'll see that expanduser does try
os.environ["HOME"]
So I'm not ignoring it, maybe it is redundant in my function.
The problem is that expanduser and user.home doesn't test if the value
returned is really a directory.

on my box it returns "%USERPROFILE%" ;-)

Not at the moment, maybe in the future ... but of course if you can't
wait you can modify the source by yourself, the files to modify are
xpn_src/Groups_Pane.py and xpn_src/Threads_Pane.py
just add the line
import pango
in the both the files, and then:
at the end of Groups_Pane.py add this line (do not change the
indentation):
self.groups_list.modify_font(pango.FontDescription("monospace 10"))
at the end of Threads_Pane.py add this line (do not change the
indentation):
self.threads_tree.modify_font(pango.FontDescription("monospace 10"))
of course you can change the font description as you like.

rfc822 module bug?
Hi all, I found that the function parsedate_tz of the rfc822 module has a bug (or at least I think so). I found a usenet article (message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) that has this Date field: Date: Tue,26 Jul 2005 13:14:27 GMT +0200 It seems to be correct¹, but parsedate_tz is not able to decode it, it is confused by the absence of a space after the ",". I studied the parsedate_tz code and the problem is on its third line: ... if not data: return None data = data.split() ... After the split I have: ['Tue,26', 'Jul', '2005', '13:14:27', 'GMT', '+0200'] but "Tue," and "26" should be separated. Of course parsedate_tz correctly decode the field if you add a space after the ",". Do you think that's a bug? Which is the most correct place where to file this bug? ¹ and looking at rfc822 par3.3 it should be correct: date-time = [ day-of-week "," ] date FWS time [CFWS] day-of-week = ([FWS] day-name) / obs-day-of-week day-name= "Mon" / "Tue" / "Wed" / "Thu" / "Fri" / "Sat" / "Sun" date= day month year -- A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt. |\ | |HomePage : http://nem01.altervista.org | \|emesis |XPN (my nr): http://xpn.altervista.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

So for instance you can subscribe more than one group with one click, or you can use the new "download new headers in selected groups". * now you can use a different From field when you reply by mail * fixed a bug introduced in the previous release that caused a crash trying to use a NickName with extended characters in it. -- He who attacks my ideas attacks democracy itself. |\ | |HomePage : http://nem01.altervista.org | \|emesis |XPN (my nr): http://xpn.altervista.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you use the "Donwload New Headers" function XPN will download the
header for the subscribed groups, for each group it has to send the
NNTP command XOVER to retrieve the new headers. For each group I update
the interface when the XOVER command ends, so the interface gets
updated betweenfor every group but if there are a lot of new headers
the XOVER command can take a lot of time ... and during this time I
can't update the interface.
This is the pseudo-code
for group in subscribed:
nntplib.xover(group)
statusbar.push("Downloaded ...")
gtk.update_interface()

You should try with Regular Expressions or if it is something like xml there
is for sure a library you can you to parse it ...
anyway you can try something simpler like this:
elem_dic=dict()
for line in open(str(sys.argv[1])):
line_splitted=line.split()
for item in line_splitted:
item_splitted=item.split("=")
if len(item_splitted)>1:
elem_dic[item_splitted[0]]=item_splitted[1]
... then you have to retrieve from the dict the items you need, for example,
with the line you posted you obtain these items splitted:
['SITE']
and elem_dic will contain the last five, with the keys
'tag','vr','vm','len','name' and teh values 300a,0014 etc etc
i.e. this:
{'vr': '"CS"', 'tag': '"300a,0014"', 'vm': '"1"', 'len': '"4"', 'name':
'"DoseReferenceStructureType">SITE'}

You should study a little bit NNTP RFCs ;-)
Anyway [EMAIL PROTECTED] could be the Message-ID of the article, a 'unique'
identifier associated to each article, while the Article Number is unique on
the server (but it changes on different servers).
the nntplib NNTP.article command can accept either Message-ID or Number as
argument, but if you want to use Message-ID you need to enclose it in brackets
<>.
So in your case this query should work:
myNntpObject.article('<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>')

[ANN] XPN 0.5.6
XPN (X Python Newsreader) is a multi-platform newsreader with Unicode support. It is written with Python+GTK. It has features like scoring/actions, X-Face and Face decoding, muting of quoted text, newsrc import/export, find article and search in the body, spoiler char/rot13, random taglines and configurable attribution lines. You can find it on: http://xpn.altervista.org/index-en.html or http://sf.net/projects/xpn Changes in this release: * added message-id recognition. Now XPN tries to recognize message-ids in the text and make them clickable in order to open a search window. * added a dialog window that informs you when XPN downloads new articles in watched threads. * some improvements in Global Search, now is possible to perform multiple searches. * now XPN checks if there are other istances running (it uses the file xpn.lock in the XPN directory). This behaviour should prevent database break off. * some fixes in the Score Window * fixed some bugs in header management * fixed a bug that caused crashes with multipart articles with email attached XPN is translated in Italian French and German, if you'd like to translate it in your language and you are familiar with gettext and po-files editing please contact me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). -- No wanna work.

In the OP article the charset is correctly declared so Agent should decode it without problems ... perhaps your Agent is not configured in the right way, maybe you are forcing it to use your charset instead of the declared one. -- Do not attempt to traverse a chasm in two leaps. |\ | |HomePage : http://nem01.altervista.org | \|emesis |XPN (my nr): http://xpn.altervista.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
