Re: Newbie
I am very new to python. I have been studying it for only a month or so. I have been using vbscript for about 2-3 yrs and only recently been using it rather heavily the past 9 months or so. I am new very new to oop. My main use will be administrative scripting into the win3k, XP, AD domain, 55exchange and 2003exchange environments. I like to incorp wxpython (GUI) into my scripts instead of HTA's that I have been using with VBS. I am also finding myself being tasked with jobs that are outside the scope of VBS. Well that's a lot to learn and I have a feeling that to many I am just another member of "The Ministry of STUPID Questions" "Bruno Desthuilliers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > LittlePython a écrit : > > Is this a good place to post python questions from newbie's, or would you > > suggest another board? > > Well, depends on how newbie you are, both to Python and to programming, > but yes, this is at least a good place to start.

Python equivilant to msgbox()
Is there an equivalent to a msgbox() or wscript.echo (via wcsript) . I would like to call this instead of print (to the screen) . I would like to write a simple script that is not an event drive gui but calls input boxes, message boxes, or maybe even a file open browser box as well? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Newbie
I really do not wish to limit myself to MS. My bread and butter is MS but I am a BSD fan at heart. I wanted to learn something I can use in both. I thought about Perl first but I feel the learning curve is to steep (to get it right), it seems easier to make a mistake in Perl and not catch it. Python just feels right and fits me better. ...

I am glad you did remind me of WScript.Shell ... I have to keep in mind
that most if not all of what I have been using in VBS is avail to me.

How to cat None
I found out the hard way that I can not cat None. I get an error. Is there a
simple way to cat None without doing some kind of equation ( if this then
that). Is there a isNone() somewhere. I am not too sure I know what None
really means.
I include an example to show what I am talking about in case I am alittle
confused.
from easygui import *
import string
msgbox('Starting Program')
thisfile = fileopenbox(msg='Choose the correct File', title='Matrix Input
File')
input = file(thisfile,'r')
header = string.split(string.strip(input.readline()),',')
header.extend(['55FirstName',
'55Intial','55LastName','55Alias',])
all = input.readlines()
input.close
input = None
matrix = {}
for user in all:
user1 = string.split(string.strip(user),',')
user1.extend(['None']*4)<-I would like to
None or better NULL this instead of string it
user1 = dict(zip(header,user1))
matrix[user1['OldNTLogon']] = user1
mychoice = choicebox(choices=matrix.keys())
user1 = matrix[mychoice]
alltogether = ''
for KeyName in user1.keys():
if alltogether == '':
alltogether = KeyName + '=' + ' ' + user1.get(KeyName) + '\n'
else:
alltogether = alltogether + KeyName + '=' + user1.get(KeyName) +

Re: Seaching Active Directory via ADO
Thanks but I was looking more for ADO com object than ADSI or ldap. For some strange reason it is very hard to locate any working scripts that use ADO to connect and search AD. Is there an issue with ADO and python when connecting to AD? I have try to build one myself with no luck. I think my problem is with adodb.command calls. Thanks for your response.

Re: Seaching Active Directory via ADO
With help I have been able to put together a little example. It illustrates
several different ways..

c = win32com.client.Dispatch("ADODB.Connection")
c.Open("Provider=ADSDSOObject")
##Check if connected to AD
if bool(c.state): print "Connected to AD"
## This uses sql dialect with no command object
##rs,rc=c.Execute("""
##SELECT adspath, title, name

Using a package like PyInstaller
Is it possible when using packages like PyInstaller to create an .exe for distribution that parts of the package can bleed out and be left on a system when the .exe is executed? Thx -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Using a package like PyInstaller
Thx for the tip. I am referring more to the use of PyInstaller or py2exe. Packages that create exe files that basically have your py script and a small py interpreter all rolled up into one. This way py does not need to be installed on a system to execute a py script. I am being advised that python is installed onto systems (windows) it should not be on. I am new to python and these types of packages and am not too sure how dumb a question this really is.. but can these packages bleed out files, dll, exe ect. to systems they are run on?

Re: Using a package like PyInstaller
That is very close to what I have being doing, however I was unable to enclose a bmp or another file for that matter in the exe. I used both DATA and BINARY key words with no luck. I checked what was in the package and there were there. I guess for some reason it could not locate then when executed. I used snap 274 if I remember correctly. I am not too sure I am explaining my question correctly though. I have not problem creating and distributing my python/wxpython scripts in exe (stand-a-lone) except for what I have described above. I am worrying that when the py script is run I am leaving behind files. That the components of my stand-alone exe is somehow coming out of the exe (PyInstaller) and being installed. My setup exe is not what's is bothering me although I do like the your suggestion and have just been tinkering with it. It is cool stuff and much better then what I have been using.

Re: Using a package like PyInstaller
"Im 99.999% confident that this will not happen from the .exe file generated by pyinstaller (unless you specify--see link above)." Well I guess that's about as close as any one can get in this business. I have been trying to introduce py into our environment, and have opened a few eyes, however I have been given one restriction. I can not install anything, leave behind anything or alter anything on a systems .. period, and as the saying goes "To error is human but to forgive is not company policy!" thx for your comments!

Try/Except for ADSI GetObject
I am a little confused on why I can not detect an object that does not exist
with a try and except. If I understand ADSI correctly from what I have read
you do not create these objects but rather get them. They already exist. I
believe if I do the equivalent in VB I would generate an error when I try to
get an object that does not exist (can not find). What have I done wrong?
I have included the function below that works in ever respect but detecting
incorrect NT Domain Names (objects that do not exist) . Any tips, insight or
comments would be welcome by this newbie.
Thx
def CheckNT4(header, all):
adsi = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsNameSpaces')
try:
nt = adsi.GetObject('', "WinNT://"+ frm.NTName) #->I need some
type of try/except to detect incorrect NT Domain Names
except: print "Domain name failed" # this does not detect a problem
nt.Filter = ['user']
try:
oSID = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsSid')
except:
MyUsers = [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header,
'STATUS')] is '']
for ea in MyUsers:
ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT'
ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] ='Can not find ADsSid'
MyUsers = [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header,
'STATUS')] is '']
intcnt = 0
for user in nt:
for ea in MyUsers:
if string.upper(user.Name) == string.upper(ea[GetPostion(header,
'OLDNTLOGON')]):
frm.MyProgress.Update ( intcnt, 'Found NT user and SID : ' +
user.Name )
intcnt = intcnt+ 1
if user.AccountDisabled:
ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT'
ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] ='Disabled'
else:
if ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] is not '':
ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] = ''
oSID.SetAs (5, "WinNT://"+ frm.NTName + '/' + user.Name)
ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'PassNT'
ea[GetPostion(header, 'Nt4Sid')] = oSID.GetAs(1)
for user in [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header,
'STATUS')] is '']:
user[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT'
user[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] = 'NoNt4Account'

Converting binary sid's to a hex string
I am trying to create a hexstring of a NT4 user account sid which I can in
turn use to query an exchange 55 database. I believe I need to convert a
binary sid to a hex string. ADsSID com object will do this for me however it
is a little slow. Can anybody point me in the right direction to converting
a PySID to a hexstring.
Thx

resume)

MySid, string, int = win32security.LookupAccountName('nt4pridc1',
user['name'])
sString = win32security.ConvertSidToStringSid(MySid)
print MySid
print sString

break

Threading HowTo's in Windows platforms
I am looking for some good beginner how-to links and maybe some simple example scripts that perform threading on windows platforms.

Re: I have 100 servers which need a new backup server added to a text file, and then the backup agent restarted.
Does this require a ssh client or server? I use authpf to open up my PF firewall for internet use. Generally I just open up putty and make a connection to the FW ( which open the ports) and minize it till I am done. When I close putty authpf losses the ssh session heartbeat and will then instruct the FW to close the ports. I would love to write a simple client to do this form me instead of using putty. Do you think these mods would work for me on a windows platform?

Re: Threading HowTo's in Windows platforms
I want to access the mailbox move methods and thread unto 4 moves at once. Currently I am access one move at a time via com but I would like to go a little deeper and start researching threading and the code that is behind the com. My use involves hundreds if not thousands of mailboxes over a short period of time(weeks or maybe a month or so). I could replicate threading I guess by launching multiply scripts on different modes but the logistics to this approach is error pronded for a user prospective.
