odbc errors

[eight02645999]

hi

i have a piece of code:
...

def connectdb(sql):
import dbi
import odbc
import sys
try:
s = odbc.odbc('DSN=CONN;UID=user;PWD=pass')
cur = s.cursor()
   # cur.execute("set nocount on")
cur.execute(sql)
while 1:
rec = cur.fetchone()
if not rec: break
return rec
except:
print 'error while processing ', sys.exc_type,sys.exc_value
s.close()
cur.close()
s = None
cur = None

...
sql = r'update table set col = 'A' where user = "user1"'
connectdb(sql)


when i execute it from CGI, i encounter the following :
error while processing dbi.internal-error [MERANT][ODBC Sybase ASE
driver]Invalid cursor state. in FETCH None

but when i did check the table, the value of col is updated to 'A',
how can i suppress the above error message? or is there some other
things
that are wrong with the code.
thanks

how to return correct value of update stmt

[eight02645999]

hi
i use odbc to update a table in a database but i always get return
value of -1
even though i tried to return an integer. the table is updated though
...
sql = """
   update table
   set column = 0
   where col = "%s"
   select @@rowcount

"""  % (var1)

try:
s = odbc.odbc(connectstring)
cur = s.cursor()
res = cur.execute(sql)
s.commit()
s.close()
cur.close()
s = None
cur = None
print res
return res
except:
print 'error while processing ', sys.exc_type,sys.exc_value

Re: how to return correct value of update stmt

[eight02645999]

hi
yes , the table is updated. Just feels "uncomfortable" with the return
of -1.
was also concerned that what if the actual table doesn't exist, will it
return -1? 
anyway, i will go check it out ..

python CGI,sybase and environ variables

[eight02645999]

hi
i am writing a CGI to process some database transactions using the
Sybase module.
so in my CGI script, i have:

...
import Sybase
import cgitb; cgitb.enable(display=1 , logdir="/tmp/weblog.txt")
...
...

the problem is , everytime i have ImportError: No module named Sybase
flagged out.

at first i think it's library path misconfiguration, so i put
os.environ["SYBASE"] = '/path/to/sybase'
os.environ["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] =  '/path/to/sybase/lib'

before i import Sybase. but its still the same error

Ok.so now, is it necesary to configure the web server's "nobody" user's
profile to point to the Sybase libraries? or worse, configure root's
profile to point to Sybase libraries? what's could be wrong?
thanks for any help rendered.

help converting some perl code to python

hi
i need help with converting a piece of perl code to python

my $start = '\[start\]';

while() #open a file
{
if ( /$start/ .. /$file/ ) { # if line match [start] till
[files]
do something with $_
}
if (/$file/ .. /$end/  )
{
   do something with $_
}
}

The file looks something like:

[start]
...
[files]
...
[end]

the problem is the '..' operator in perl. Is there any equivalent in
python?
any suggestions ?

i used your method to rearrange the  try,except clauses, and the

passing values from one form to another

[eight02645999]

hi

i have 3 python cgi scripts created, one is a login page(login.py),
another is the main page(main.py) with a lot of user inputs and the
last one is a python cgi script results.py to process main.py

In main.py, i am able to check for the value of the user and password
field, eg

if form.has_key("user") and form["button"].value == "Login" and
form.has_key("password"):
  # show all fields

how can i also check for the user field in the results.py script? ie ,
pass the value of the "user" to the python script..so that user must
always login to get to results.py

thanks..

how to catch error with system()

[eight02645999]

hi

i have a piece of python code extract that calls an external java
program
cmd = """java someclass someargs"""
try:
   ret = os.WEXITSTATUS(os.system(cmd))
except:
   print blah
else:
   dosomething(ret)

the thing is, the java class "someclass" produces it's own errors when
something goes wrong.
something like
java.io.FileNotFoundException: somefile (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:106)
at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:66)
..

how can i supress this error from showing when i execute
./pythonscript.py and at the same time logging it to an errlog file??

gathering some opinions

[eight02645999]

hi
i am working on cgi and wish to gather some input on correct/often used
methods of what i am going to do.
I need to let the user choose (in the form of check boxes) whether they
need the data to be emailed to them periodically. So if they click the
check box on "activate", then email system will start.
I was thinking of creating schedular jobs after they click "activate".
In windows, i have read the demos of creating a job in task schedular
using the win32 modules..In unix, i am not sure how yet, but i will do
more research. The main thing is, is this the only way ? Sometimes,
there is not enough privlege to create jobs and things like that...
anyone has done such a setup before?what are other better approach?
thanks for any suggestions and inputs...

changing list items

hi

say i have a list

alist = ['a','b','c','e','d','f']
I wanted to change the elements , say alist[2:4] .

If i do alist[2:4] = "t" , it gives
['a', 'b', 't', 'd', 'f']  which is not what i want.
I wanted  alist = ['a','b','t','t','d','f']

My list may have more elements, and i may need to replace elements from
different positions,
eg alist[10:15] , alist[30:40] etc..

stripping spaces in front of line

while (1):

if line == '':
break
print line
f.close()

in "textfile", i added some spaces in and then ran the code, it prints
out the lines without the spaces in front. I double checked "textfile"

Is it true that "readline().strip()" perform the removing of spaces in

regular expression is inside the parentheses, but the substring matched
by the group cannot be retrieved after performing a match or referenced
later in the pattern.

catching java program return

i have to run a java program inside my python script.
i have some java classes declared:
os.environ['CLASSPATH'] = "blah path"

then i used the os.system method to invoke the java program and using
ret = os.WEXITSTATUS(os.system(cmd)) to catch the return

Java gave me an error about unable to locate some classes,  and the ret
value is 0. Why is this so? thanks
can anyone advise also on how can i properly catch the correct Java
generated exceptions in the above case. I was thinking i could use
subprocess module, is there a good example of using this module instead
of using os.system? or are they both achieve the same results?

hi
i am using a telnet session to simulate an authentication mechanism
USER = "user"
PASSWORD = "password"
try:
telnet = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
telnet.set_debuglevel(5)
telnet.read_until("login: ")
telnet.write(USER + "\n")
telnet.read_until("Password: ")
telnet.write(PASSWORD + "\n")
except:
print "failed to telnet"
else:
try:
telnet.write("ls\n")
except:
print "cannot ls"
else:
telnet.write("exit\n")
print telnet.read_all()


When i purposely input a wrong password, it "hangs" at the login prompt
waiting for
login and Password. The host i am telnetting to is a unix server.
How can i "exit" this login prompt if the user keys in wrong password
in my script?

a question on re

[eight02645999]

hi

i tried to search 2 patterns

pat1 = re.compile("blah")
pat2 = re.compile("blah2")


if i do
if re.findall(pat1,something) and re.findall(pat2,something):
   do something

if does not work

if re.findall(pat1,something) :
   if re.findall(pat2,something):

ftplib question

[eight02645999]

hi
my purpose is just to connect to an FTP server and delete all files in
a directory
Is there a way using ftplib module? something like ftp.delete("*") ?
another way i can do is using LIST to list out all the files in that
directory, grab the filename, append to an array, then do a for loop to
delete one by one.
using the ftplib retrlines('LIST') , it shows me all the lines with
-rw-r--r--   1 user grp 6302 Apr  7 15:30  some file
how can i get only the filename?
thanks

passing argument to script

[eight02645999]

hi

if i have a string like this

"ABCE-123456  ABC_DEF_Suggest(abc def ghi).txt"

that needs to be passed to a python script
and i wanted to get the words inside the brackets after i passed this
string. I did a re
something like

thestring = sys.argv[1:]
pat = re.compile(r".*\((.*)\)\.txt$")
if pat.search(thestring):
   words = pat.search(thestring).group(1)

but it doesn't return anything for words variable.
When i specifically define the string inside the python script , it
works

thestring = "ABCE-123456  ABC_DEF_Suggest(abc def ghi).txt"

I also tried str(thestring) but also did not work
what is wrong with the argument passing?

thanks
