Archiving emails in Gmail
Hi, I have a requirement that I want to log-in into a gmail account read all unread mails, mark them as read and then archive them. I am using libgmail (version 0.1.11) library to do so, using which I am able to log-in into a gmail account fetch all unread message and then read them one by one. Now my problem is that I am not able to mark the unread mail as read and archive it. Below is sample code that I am using. from libgmail import * ARCHIVE_ACTION='rc_^i' #the action string to archive a message UNREAD_MAILS = is:unread def ArchiveAll(): ga = GmailAccount(name='username', pw='password') print 'logging in...', ga.login() print 'successful' def _getAllUnreadMails(): return ga.getMessagesByQuery(UNREAD_MAILS, True) def _readMail(email): emailData = ga.getRawMessage(email) def _archiveAndMarkRead(email): ga._doThreadAction(ARCHIVE_ACTION, email) ga._doThreadAction(U_MARKREAD_ACTION, email) emails = _getAllUnreadMails() for email in emails: eData = _readMail(email) #Process email data _archiveAndMarkRead(email) print 'done' if __name__ == '__main__': ArchiveAll() after executing this code I am getting following error HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error Traceback (most recent call last): File test_libgmail.py, line 30, in module ArchiveAll() File test_libgmail.py, line 26, in ArchiveAll [_archiveAndMarkRead(t) for t in sr[1]] File test_libgmail.py, line 21, in _archiveAndMarkRead ga._doThreadAction(ARCHIVE_ACTION, thread) File /home/3rdparty/libgmail/libgmail.py, line 669, in _doThreadAction items = self._parsePage(_buildURL(**params)) File /home/3rdparty/libgmail/libgmail.py, line 383, in _parsePage items = _parsePage(self._retrievePage(urlOrRequest)) File /home/3rdparty/libgmail/libgmail.py, line 99, in _parsePage lines = pageContent.splitlines() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'splitlines' Can anyone help me in figuring out what's going wrong here? I guess google has deprecated this way of marking emails, correct me if I am wrong here. But if its true, is there any other way or library in Python to meet my requirements?

Re: Archiving emails in Gmail
Ohh my bad... thanks a lot for replying Alf.. The error which I've pasted above, was thrown before I modified the code a bit.. Here's the error thrown on running the code I've pasted above.. there's not much of a difference in the error though. HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error Traceback (most recent call last): File test_libgmail.py, line 40, in module ArchiveAll() File test_libgmail.py, line 35, in ArchiveAll _archiveAndMarkRead(email) File test_libgmail.py, line 28, in _archiveAndMarkRead ga._doThreadAction(ARCHIVE_ACTION, email) File /home/3rdparty/test/libgmail/libgmail.py, line 670, in _doThreadAction items = self._parsePage(_buildURL(**params)) File /home/3rdparty/test/libgmail/libgmail.py, line 384, in _parsePage items = _parsePage(self._retrievePage(urlOrRequest)) File /home/3rdparty/test/libgmail/libgmail.py, line 99, in _parsePage lines = pageContent.splitlines() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'splitlines' I tried to debug the issue here, when self._retrievePage(urlOrRequest) is called (it is called internally in libgmail) a 500 internal server error is thrown. And hence further processing on the response can not be done. I also caught the url which throws 500: https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1search=allt=129374b41acebfcdview=upat=act=rc_^i Now I don't know why 500 is thrown and on which side the exact problem lies, i.e. the libgmail side or the gmail side. And there's a email library provided in Python (supports both POP and SMTP) but I dont know whether it allows us to archive mails or mark them as read for that matter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The non exe version of the COM server ie. directlly running the
testCOM.py registers the library properly and
in the VB application, the message box displays the version as 0.0.1.
But, after I create the EXE file using the setup.py file and run it,
it registers the library.
When I run the VB application, it hangs at the line
Set connection = CreateObject(SAMPLE.Lib)

You are confusing dynamic typing with weak typing. Weakly typed languages (such as BASIC perform) such implicit conversions. However, Python is dynamically and strongly typed. With dynamic typing, the type information resides with the actual object and not with the name referring to it. That simply means that the type cannot be determined till the object is actually created (i.e till runtime). But once created, the object does have a type. So you will need to explicitly convert yourself. In this case with int_value = int(string_value) Ravi Teja. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

What I suggested should not effect traffic from other servers. I would go with Gabriel's suggestion and check for open connections just in case. Although I can't imagine why that would give you a 404 response since it is a server response (implies successful connection). I would expect that you would get a client error in such a case.

So i suppose that if Python has to run a .pyc file, it will load and execute it faster. And if i have some sensitive data in my source, like passwords (and the source of cource!) they will be more secure in a compiled file. Is that correct ? Thanks a lot for any help! Python code is normally deployed as straight source code. It gets compiled automatically on its first run and will subsequently load this quickly. Passwords do not belong in the source code and they are not secure simply by distributing bytecode instead. This applies to any language, native or byte code compiled.

Perhaps with the interpreter embedded to launch it in-process and to hard code the script paths (or at least a config file/script pointing to them) for security.

However , you can grab a free Java (Netbeans with Enterprise pack) or .NET (Visual Studio Express) IDE (or just the respective SDK if you don't mind reading through the docs), create a stub function, mark it as a WebMethod, let it generate the WSDL and pass it to wsdl2py that comes with ZSI.

COM and threads
HI all,
I have a problem in accesing COM objects in threads. To be precise,
lets assume that I have a class GenericFunctions which is defined as
follows:
import win32com.client, pythoncom, thread
ie=win32com.client.Dispatch('internetexplorer.application')
ie.Visible=1
class GenericFunctions:
def __init__(self):
print In Constructor of Generic Functions
def MyNavigate(self,dest):
ie.Navigate(dest)
Now there is another file Main.py which is defined as follows:
import win32com.client, pythoncom, thread
from GenericFunctions import *
obj = GenericFunctions()
class Mainclass:
def __init__(self);
print In Constructor of Main class
def threadFunction(self,dest):
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
d=pythoncom.CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream(s,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
my_ie=win32com.client.Dispatch(d)
obj.func(dest) # this is gving an error.
pythoncom.CoUninitialize()
if __name__ == __main__:
s=pythoncom.CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream(pythoncom.IID_IDispatch,ie)
thread.start_new_thread(self.nav, (s,'www.google.com')
Basically, I want to access object of GenericFunctions class inside
threadFunction(). However I was able to execute
my_ie.Navigate(google.com). But that was not I wanted. I am not
knowing where the error is
Please let me know the solution ASAP...

Re: newbie IronPython compiled scripts speed question
In most cases, carefully examine why you need native code at all. Since a good number of performance sensitive CPython modules are in fact written in C to begin with, the improvements may not always be significant. I don't know about your application but here are some general observations. Beginers are often enamored with native code. This is normal. Unless your application is explicitly low level, native code is not worth bothering with. thanks, I'll check out psyco's documentation, since unfortunately the scripts will be run on a Windows box, and using a compiler other than VC++ is not an option... 1.) mingw works quite well for writing Python extensions. 2.) ctypes is a great way to incorporate native code. Create a dll in whatever native language you please and call it from Python. 3.) Since you are on just MS Windows, you can use COM to wrap your native code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Writing Video conference software for Windows
I need to write a software that allow to see the desktop That would be the VNC protocol. Don't reinvent the wheel. VNC is relatively efficient in that it only updates the portions of the screen that changed. Maybe this project could be your starting point. PyVNC http://bdash.net.nz/blog/2005/07/17/pyvnc-the-beginnings-of-a-python-vnc-client/ and hear the microphone capture of a remote PC across a network. I need to do that for a unviresity assignement. The software must run on Windows. Since I like Python very much I am thinking to write that software in Python. Do you thinkit is a good choice? Are there libraries for audio compression (OGG or MP3 or maybe GSM or something like realaudio) PyMedia can record and it works for mp3 and oggs. and video compression (btw what can be some good libraries to transmit images of a desktop in a bandwidth-efficent way?). See above. You can lossy compress images in VNC. (Probably i will need some Win32 system call, there are bindings in Python, aren't they?) The above modules should take care of everything. BTW, PIL can take screen shots if you want to do this manually. You need to create a streaming server for audio. Take a look at Edna, a streaming MP3 server. http://edna.sourceforge.net/ Also of interest ... Twisted and Shtoom. And finally... since you are on Windows - you can just try using the NetMeeting ActiveX control through Python. It already does everything you want.

You can't specify your own groups of words, you can only use what is already preset in the lexer files. ???

Re: What would be the best way to run python client in the background
The reason for the a seperate persistant check is because it will be used to enable software to be installed in whole lab of PCs but only allow a predifined number to run the software at any time one time. And then when a user stop using the software a licence will become available to for someone else on the same or another PC to use the software. The reason that the process of the software being check is not used is because it will be used for software written by other people. I hope this makes what and why a little clearer. Let me know if you think that I have misunderstoood you. Hmm... I don't have experience with such architecture personally. The software being managed must have some sort of dependency on the license manager if the manager is to be external. I don't know how you can reliably manage external programs that are decoupled from the license manager. You can however create a plug-in of sorts if the other authors would be willing to incorporate it without much work to them. I mostly explored license management in Delphi apps. Since Delphi is/was a Shareware favorite, it has quite a few open source / commercial components available to manage such licensing, usually with trivial effort from the component user. You could take a look at them (http://www.torry.net/quicksearchd.php?String=sharewareTitle=No). Some of them might even compile on Lazarus to expose them to Python. By large, the culture of Python is open source and such expertise may not be common place here. You might want to subscribe to the mailing lists of Association of Shareware Professionals (http://www.asp-shareware.org/). I have not been on this path in 5 years and so am out of touch. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python Editor with Autocorrection
Laurentiu wrote: hello! i am searching for a free python editor with autocorrection capabillities. for example: the wrong setfocus() call to become SetFocus(), etc. thanks Python is a dynamic language, which means that methods that may not exist in your source code may spring to being at runtime at any point. So it may be undesirable to have such feature. (For example, take a look at an XML binding tool such as Amara which creates objects at runtime after parsing an XML file). Most good editors (Scintilla based editors, Emacs, Vi etc) have auto-completion for symbols that have occured in the current file; and some advanced IDEs (PyDev, WingIDE, SPE, Komodo etc) will auto-complete to some degree based on your imports through static analysis. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: text editor suggestion?
I also just started using Scite, and I really like it, except I find its syntax highlighting to be very inflexible. You aren't able to define your own groups of words -- you have to use what's given, basically. One thing I like about UltraEdit is that you simply define as many groups of keywords as you want and then assign a style to each one. Scite has a very strange and rigid method of highlighting. Stick to SciTE. It takes almost no learning effort and meets everyone of those requirements. As far as customerization goes, SciTE can be customerized quite well. In fact, it can even be scripted with Lua. You seem to be using the single file executable which does not come with the configuration files. Otherwise, I cannot see how you could be missing this ability. Try this one instead if you are on Windows. http://gisdeveloper.tripod.com/scite.html You need to edit the file python.properties to add keywords. Windows - C:\Program Files\SciTe\python.properties Debian - /usr/share/scite/python.properties -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: What would be the best way to run python client in the background
gel wrote: Hi I have written a python client server app that keeps an eye on processes starting and ending on a client and makes decision on what to do based on information from the server end. I want to run the client end of the app more or less invisibly (no console) on the XP clients when ever a users logs on. What would be the best way to get this done? A bit more info on the purpose of the app... it is to act as a licence server, where we have a limited number of licences for software and the software installed on all PCs. The app will only allow a pre defined number of clients to run the software at any one time. To run a python script without a console - use *.pyw extension. But from what you stated you perhaps don't want to do this. Whether you deploy this check as a service (through py2exe for example) or a straight script, the users may simply kill it if they want to bypass the check. Plus it is not common to use a seperate persistant process to check for licenses. A better way is to incorporate the check directly into the process of the software. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You probably will have to wait till you get to yours.
