Change Gateway Programmatically
Dear Pythoneer, I need to toggle the gateway ip of my windows xp machine quite often due to some software requirements. I just want to know whether i could do it programmatically using Python. If so how? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Change Gateway Programmatically
Well netsh turned out to be the perfect solution for my problem(even though doing it in python would have given me some kicks). I managed it with two .bat files for toggling the gateway ips. Thank you friend. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: books: Dive into Python vs Beginning Python
I would recommend both, but as i have already bought the first version of Beginning Python known as Practical Python by Magnus. I can gaurantee you that the practical projects as well as the succinct python tutorial in the book will show you the full power and glory of Python. Magnus is a great author, believe me! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Cmd Module
Sorry! I just retyped my script instead of copy pasting it. well thank u once again for clearing my confusion. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Cmd Module
Dear Pythoneer, I was just curious about using the cmd module for building my own command line interface. i saw a problem. The script is as follows: from cmd import Cmd import getpass class CmdTest(cmd): def __init__(self): super(CmdTest, self).__init__() def do_login(self): passwd = getpass.getpass() if passwd = 'godwin': print You are a valid user if __name__ == '__main__': ctest = CmdTest() ctest.cmdloop() The interpreter reports that the first argument to super should be a type rather than a class object and for the do_login function it says that function needs only one argument but two are given. I solved the above errors by adding the following code: Cmd.__init__(self) def do_login(self,passwd='godwin') But i know that my first code should work without any problems or is there a problem with it. Pls enlighten me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

print there!
Dear Pythoneer, I am writing a python script which inserts or updates a database from a csv file. i've done the functionality. But i would to like to show the user the current row being inserted or updated in the screen. This can be done as follows: print 'c:\godwin\bl.csv', for i,row in enumerate(reader): # inserts or updates the database print i, This displays on the screen as : c:\godwin\bl.csv 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ^ But i want it to show the above numbers on the same spot denoted by the carat character. Can it be done with print statement or any other trick? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: print there!
i think u've misunderstood my question. Your solution will print on a
new line as below:
c:\godwin\bl.csv 1
c:\godwin\bl.csv 2
c:\godwin\bl.csv 3
But i want this number to diplay their value increase on the same line
on the same sport itself without printing the filename multiple times
on multiple lines:
c:\godwin\bl.csv
^
If i were to do it in the c language i would use the conio.h and gotxy
function with printf.
printf(c:\\godwin\\bl.csv);
for(i=0;irows;i++)
{
gotoxy(10,20);
printf(%d,rows+1);
}
Sorry for bothering u again!

Re: Eve from Adams' Ribs
www.devx.com/dbzone/Article/22093 U've made a point and i have seen that approach in the above article. But i was curious about creating python classes and code on fly. The only way i could do it was by using exec function. Is there a standard way of doing it. What are the plus points of such kind of programming? Is it only done by hackers?

Web App like Google
Hello there,
I need some thoughts about a web application that i am dreaming
and drooling about in python. I want a search page to look exactly like
Google. But when i press the search button, it should search a database
in an rdbms like Oracle and provide results.
For example, if my keywords are all customers with names
starting with 'God' it should somehow search table CUSTOMER , with
following query :
SELECT CUSTNAME FROM CUSTOMER WHERE CUSTNAME LIKE 'God%'
So we basically need is a good python parser module which parses the
keywords into an sql or sqls and list the results. I can look in the
keywords for table and column synonyms and map it into
table and column names and create sql but it's not a foolproof idea as
we all know that english is a very vague language. The above idea wil
fail , if i can't identify table,column names
,operators and values in their logical orders so as to create a
syntactically correct sql. If there are more tables involved, i should
also think of joining tables (inner,outer,equi joins).
All I want is some enlightening thoughts from the python hackers(i mean
programmers) out there.Plz polish your grey cells and let me know your
thoughts.
# this is my basic and foolish keywordparser
# the object db provides the table as well as column names
# as u can see it may or may not work even for a single table
class KeyWordParser(object):
def __init__(self,keywords,db):
self.keywords = keywords.upper().split()
self.db = db
self.tables = []
self.columns = []
def parse2sql(self):
for word in self.keywords:
if word in self.db.tables():
self.tables.append(word)
for word in self.keywords:
for table in self.tables:
for column in self.db.columns(table):
if column == word:
self.columns.append(column)
sql = 'SELECT %s FROM %s' % (','.join(self.columns) or
'*',','.join(self.tables))
return sql

What are the other options against Zope?
Hi all, I wanna thank Martin for helping out with my ignorance concerning execution of stored procedure with python. Now i have decided to write a web app that googles into my companies proprietary database. I need to know whether zope is good for that job. But even the introduction to zope in the zope book was intimidating. Are there any simple options? If so plz tell me how i can obtain it and study it. I should say that i am new to web programming. Thank you -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Progress Bar with urllib2
I'm trying to write a python script to download data (well, files) from a HTTP
server (well, a PHP script spitting them out, at least).
The file data is just the returned data from the request (the server script
echoes the file and then dies).
I call the page using urllib2, like so:
satelliteRequest = urllib2.Request(satelliteServer +
?command=downloadfilepath=+filepath)
satelliteRequestData = {username:satelliteUsername,
password:satellitePassword}
satelliteRequest.add_data(urllib.urlencode(satelliteRequestData))
satelliteOpener = urllib2.build_opener()
satelliteOpener.addheaders = [('User-agent', userAgent)]
Now, if I want to download the file all at once, I just do
satelliteData = satelliteOpener.open(satelliteRequest).read()
But some of these files are going to be really, really big, and I want to get a
progress bar going.
I've tried doing a while loop like this:
chunkSize = 10240
while 1:
dataBuffer = satelliteOpener.open(satelliteRequest).read(chunkSize)
data += dataBuffer
if not dataBuffer:
break
But that just gives me the first 10240 bytes again and again. Is there
something I'm missing here?
It might even be I'm calling urllib2 the wrong way (does it download when you
read() or when you create the Request?)
All help is appreciated, I'm sort of stuck here.
Andrew Godwin
