Submit form, open result in a browser
Hi, Is there a way to submit a form and then open the resulting page in the default browser? (Writing the form submission code is not a problem by the way) I guess what I'm asking is how I can get the resulting URL and feed it to the webbrowser module. I need to do it this way because the site owners will not let me parse the page and show the result inside my application... loss of advertising revenue I guess. And since it's just a small added feature to the application, opening it in a browser is fine. I just need to get an idea on how to do it...

Distributing programs depending on third party modules.
Hi list, Is there a preferred way to distribute programs that depends on third party modules like PyQt, Beautifulsoup etc? I have used setuptools and just having the setup script check for the existence of the required modules. If they're not found I have it exit with a message that it need this or that installed. But this is not very convenient for the end user and I have got a few complaints about it. Am I missing something in setuptools or is there a better way to do it (except for bundling the modules in the package which seem like a rather nasty workaround)?

Re: Distributing programs depending on third party modules.
Kevin Walzer wrote: What platform are you doing this on? On the Linux platform, dependency hell of this sort is pretty much unavoidable, because there are so many different packaging systems (apt, rpm, and so on): it's standard to let the package manager handle these dependencies. And yes, it is frustrating for end users. I mainly write apps for Linux although some are in theory cross platform (but I don't have Windows to test on so I don't really care about that part). Of course catering to every concievable package management system is impossible so I'm looking for something to make it easy for people to use the app as it is. There are other methods for distributing frozen binaries, including the freeze module that ships with Python itself, cx_freeze, and PyInstaller: these three may work on Linux/Unix as well as Windows (they are not supported on the Mac). But the methods above are generally the ones most widely used. A binary would be ideal. I'll look into the freeze modules and Pyinstaller. Even if they don't handle huge things like Qt it would be a step in the right direction if it handles smaller third part modules.

irclib problems
I'm playing around with the 'irclib' library working with the first
example at
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Python/IRC-on-a-Higher-Level-Concluded/
When copying the example verbatim and running it from a console it works
flawlessly. It connects to the server, join the channel and sits there
'forever'...
However, I want to use it in a PyQt application and have done the following.
I have created a module named 'irclibtest.py' that looks like this:
### irclibtest start ###
import irclib
irclib.DEBUG = True
class Conn:
def __init__(self):
# Network information
self.network = '192.x.x.x'
self.port = 6667
self.channel = '#test'
self.nick = 'IRClibt'
self.name = 'Python Test'
# Subclass SimpleIRCClient
class ClientClass ( irclib.SimpleIRCClient ):
pass
# Create an instance of ClientClass and connect.
self.client = ClientClass()
self.client.connect ( self.network, self.port, self.nick,
ircname = self.name )
self.client.connection.join ( self.channel )
##irclibtest end ###
And my main Qt application:
### Main application start ###
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys, irclib
from PyQt4 import QtGui , QtCore
from tircUI import Ui_MainWindow
from irclibtest import Conn
class TircMain(QtGui.QMainWindow , Conn):
def __init__(self):
QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self )
Conn.__init__(self)
self.ui = Ui_MainWindow()
self.ui.setupUi(self)
self.connect(self.ui.sendButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(clicked()),
self.doSend)
def doSend(self):
''' Just a test to see if I can send to channel'''
self.client.connection.privmsg('#test' , 'Test text')
if __name__ == __main__:
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
f = TircMain()
f.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
### Main application end ##
The problem is that this pings out (PING timeout). As far as I
understand it rclib.SimpleIRCClient is supposed to handle PING-PONG with
the server so I don't understand why it does not in my Qt test, but it
does 'raw'.
I can send to the channel right up to the point it times out by the way.
Anyone know what I'm missing here?

I would like to automate this process with Python and run it every 30 miniutes so I don't have to keep typing in these userid/password everytime. How can this be done? Is there a module I can use to interact with the shell? (I'm running linux) Thank you. James Sounds like the perfect way to get fired. To be sure though, remember to store your password in clear text ;) However bizarre the security measures seem it's obviously in place to make sure it's *you* sitting at the computer. Scripting the authentication process is equal to simply removing it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you mean hacking as modyfying the code of interpreter of libraries - it is perfectly legal, as Python is Open Source. If you mean hacking as cracking into computer systems, then what's the difference if it's with Python or anything else. If you mean hacking as gaining excellency in programming - then why should it be? Greets zefciu It's really sad. I saw this poor schmuck on Want to be a millionaire once. His second question was What is a hacker? I don't remember all of the alternatives but two of them was A computer programmer and Someone illegally using a computer.

That is not exactly correct. Both PyQt and Qt it self is available under two different licenses. The GPL versions require that your applications has to be released as free software compatible with the GPL. Development of commercial closed source applications require a commercial license. In reality you are free to sell your application as long as it remain free (as in freedom) and open source (some argues this is impossible and some argue it's no problem. Decide for your self). By nature a GPL'ed application can not be patented or even contain patented code as this violates the freedom part of the License. But you have a point though: Always read the license, terms and conditions for the tools you want to use. It can really save you some serious trouble. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It will let you distribute your application in a convenient way as so-called EGG (basically a ZIP-file), additionally you will get support for installing scripts in /usr/bin or wherever you like, and you have versioning support. If you plan to release the app publically, it will also handle the upload to the PyPI, the python package index - also known(?) as cheeseshop. Diez Great! Obviously exactly what I'm looking for. I already had it installed even, and it seem to be quite well documented and noob friendly. Thanks :) Tina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Prefered install method?
Another noob question: I have written my first linux application that might actually be of interest to others. Just for fun I also wrote an install script that put the files in the common directories for my distro (Debian). That is in /usr/local/. (This particular program can be run directly from the user's /home but as a learning experience I want to do it the 'coorect' way) Now, I don't know if that is the way to do it with python applications. I also don't know if a custom install script is the norm. I have seen some use of makefiles and tried to find something about it but the manual for GNUMake really assume you are familiar with/ using C which I'm not. I have googled a lot for this but can't really find anything aimed for someone just learning programming with Python. So my question is; What is the preferred/ common way to install a python application so it's not really distro specific? And are there any good resources on this on the web?

PyQt4 strangeness
I'm trying to 'convert' my self from Qt3 to Qt4 (it rocks!) and one thing seem strange: With Qt3 I usually did from qt import *, but this does not seem to work with Qt4. I have to use from PyQt4 import QtGui , QtCore and also have to use QtCore.something. Like when connecting a button: self.connect(self.ui.testButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(clicked()), self.doSomething) Anyone know why this is? Or am I missing something very basic here? (I'm still very much a noob I guess) I'm using the Debian packages by the way. Thanks Tina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: PyQt4 strangeness
Phil Thompson wrote: The module structure of PyQt reflects the library structure of Qt. Qt4 has different libraries to Qt3 so PyQt4 has different modules to PyQt3. The top level PyQt4 module ensures that PyQt3, PyQt4 (and eventually PyQt5) can all be installed side by side in the same site-packages directory. The style of import statement you use is up to you. All of the PyQt4 examples adopt the style you describe, but you can achieve the equivalent of your current practice by doing the following instead... from PyQt4.Qt import * Phil Ah, I see :) Thanks for the explanation.

PyQt: QListviewItemIterator
Hi, I'm fairly new to both Python and Qt so please bare with me. I have a QListView with a number of columns. In order to filter the output I iterate using QListViewItemIterator looking for the string entered by the user (filterString). Currently I do it this way: it = QListViewItemIterator(self.authListView) try: while it: item = it.current() if item.text(0).contains(filterString) or item.text(1).contains(filterString) or item.text(2).contains(filterString): item.setVisible(1) else: item.setVisible(0) it +=1 except AttributeError: pass Basically I iterate through the ListView until it goes beyond the list and raise an exception, which I catch. It works but to be honest it looks and feels ugly; Do something until it goes wrong So, question: How can I know I have reached the last item in the QListView? Thanks Tina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: PyQt: QListviewItemIterator
David Boddie wrote: When it.current() returns None. You can rewrite what you already have like this: it = QListViewItemIterator(self.authListView) while it.current(): item = it.current() if item.text(0).contains(filterString) or \ item.text(1).contains(filterString) or \ item.text(2).contains(filterString): item.setVisible(1) else: item.setVisible(0) it += 1 If you don't like calling item.current() twice for some reason, you could write this: it = QListViewItemIterator(self.authListView) item = it.current() while item: if item.text(0).contains(filterString) or \ item.text(1).contains(filterString) or \ item.text(2).contains(filterString): item.setVisible(1) else: item.setVisible(0) it += 1 item = it.current() David Ah, of course!
