print console out to a txt or csv file
Hi all,
I have been working on some code to list the files of a folder that has .pdf
extension. I have the basic code to create a list, but it prints that list to
the console. I'd like my code to write a txt file that contains that list (to
later import into excel).
###A script to list pdf files in a folder
###gisdude 02/09/19
###
import os, sys, glob, csv, pathlib
###First, let's change the dir with os
os.chdir("C:\\Users\\Randy\\Documents\\BOOKS")
###Second, let's now get the list of files in this directory
files = glob.glob('*.pdf')
for file in glob.glob("*.pdf"):
print (file)
###This prints to the IDLE console
###But, I want to print to a csv file
for filename in glob.iglob ('*.pdf'):
###with open('Listofpdf', 'filename') as csvfile:
###writer = csv.writer(csvfile, delimter=' ',
quotechar='|', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
###writer.writerrow([('{}\t.format(elem))])
from pathlib import Path
searchdir = "C:\\Users\\Randy\\Documents\\BOOKS"
csvfilename = "listofpdf.txt"
with Path(csvfilename).open(mode="w+") as p:
files = Path(searchdir).glob('*.py')
p.write(f"{' '.join(str(file) for file in files)}\n")
At this point, the pathlib mod seems like it should create the file?
I'm on WINDOWS 10 and IDLE 3.7.
Thanks for any help,
R`

I'm back to the proverbial drawing board. On a side note, I'm uninstalling ANACONDA and re-installing.

pip and command line
Hi all, I'm hoping someone could help a wannabe python coder out. I'm an aspiring Data/AI/ML coder/programmer/datafiend - that might help with my situation. In my various fits of python downloads, I've managed to download Anaconda, Pyscripter, IDLE(3.6/32 AND 64bit), IDLE 2.7. I'm thinking of PyCharm next... but that's another story. I'm having a problem using pip: 1. Does one have to use pip in the commandline? Why can't I use pip while in IDLE or in my Anaconda distro? 2. For some unknown reason, I have "defaulted" to use IDLE python 3.6, 32 bit version. I would like to use some modules that are in the 64 bit(pyiso is one...don't ask it is a module for using DOE EIA data off their website) and the requests module is not in the 64 bit version, NOT my 32 bit version. A) So...should I maybe uninstall my anaconda, pyscripter? Just use IDLE? B) Maybe change the envirionment variables to go between 3.6 32 bit and 3.6 64 bit. Seems kinda lame to myself... Thanks all and appreciate the feedback R~ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

search cursor in pythonwin 2.1
Hi all. I am trying to create a little script(I think) that will basically use a search cursor. I am a GIS(geographic information systems) Analyst and in our software(ESRI ARCGIS 9.1) ESRI has implemented Python 2.1 as the scripting language of choice. In my script I'm going thru a dbf file and extracting NON-NULL values in a field. What I need to do with that is create a new dbf table with the values I found in it. Here is my sample code so far: # This is a basic script for searching thru a table # seeing if a field has a value, then writing that record # to a brand new dbf # # Import basic modules import win32com.client, sys, os, string # Create the basic Geoprocessor Object GP = win32com.client.Dispatch(esriGeoprocessing.GpDispatch.1) # Make sure to setup proper licensce level from ESRI GP.SetProduct(arcview) # Set the input workspace - I WONT USE THE ARGUMENT DIALOG BOX GP.Workspace = E:/IntermediateGISProgrammingGEOG376/labs/ neighborhoods # THIS IS THE SPOT WHERE I'M MESSING UP # I THINK AT THIS POINT I NEED TO: # 1: OPEN THE SHAPEFILE # 2: INITIALIZE THE FC VARIABLE # 3: USE THE SEARCHCURSOR TO FIND THE RECORDS THAT HAVE A VALUE IN THE NAME FIELD # I looked in the Select Help file and a number of items popped up. # However, I opened up Select - analysis and it shows how to select # from a shapefile. I assume this is what I need? GP.Select_Analysis(neighborhoods.shp, neighborhoods_names.shp, ' Names \ null\ ') #at this point I'm stuck. how do I query out a NON- NULL value? #or a value in the Names field? Could anyone throw me a bone over here? TIA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
PY Zip
Hi all. I am trying to find a module that has a Zip utility that I can use in Python. I would like to be able to call the module and ZIP up a directory. I thought there was such a module, but I have not been able to find it. I need this to be able to be used in Python Win. Is there a ZIP utilty already stored with a basic PYTHON download? Thanks all. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Converting Microsoft Works databases.... *shudder*
Mike, I totally forgot that MS Works was out there. Haven't used that one in about 6 or 7 years. Honestly, your best bet is to convert to .csv or some delimited .txt file. Once that is done, all your rows/columns will be nice and neat . Once that is done, (and since your client doesn't have ACCESS, try MYSQL or POSTGRESQL(they are open source). They can handle A LOT OF DATA, so however big your orginal DB is, you can import it to one of these more than capable OS freebie Databases. Good luck Michael B. Trausch wrote: I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. Someone I know is trying to move away from Microsoft Works, and I am trying to look into a solution that would convert their data in a lossless fashion to a more modern format. The database has more than 65K rows, so converting it to be an Excel spreadsheet, would, AFAIK, not be an option. It would seem that MS Works can export the database as a DBF format database, though I have not tried it. Before I get started, I was wondering if anyone has been through this problem in the past and used Python to solve the problem. Knowing nearly nothing about the DBase family of application software, and database formats, I find myself feeling like the information out there is, frankly, a bit overwhelming. Would the recipe specified in the dbf to csv thread be useful here for a file in DBase IV format? It of course uses the same extension, but I am not sure if the file semantics are at all similar. The idea at the end would be to probably create a database on an small SQL server (like MySQL) and let the person access their data using ODBC on their Windows workstation so that they can create form letters and the like. They do not have access to MS Office's Access product, nor do they wish to use OOo Base (and I can't say that I blame them -- it seems to crash far too often to be considered reliable stuff). -- Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

python and ARCView GIS desktop
hi all. I am a newbie, so be kind. I am using ARCView GIS 9.1 and python win. I am trying to develop a module using the GZIP module in my ARCView map session. What I am attempting to do (I think) is use the zip mod to zip up all the files in a .mxd document into one neat little zipped file, ready to copy to cd or email(if it's small enough(. I got this idea while using autocad. There is a function in autocad (E-TRANSMIT) that allows you to press the button on the toolbar and it will zip up all files(and dependent files too) in the current drawing and have it in one zip file ready for email. I thought ESRI would think of this but when I've posted this to the message boards, there is no response. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Maybe I could use VBA or something else?
