export sites/pages to PDF
Hi all, My employer is asking for a solution that outputs the content of urls to pdf. It must be the content as seen within the browser. Can someone help me on this? It must be able to export several kind of pages with all kind of content (javascript, etc.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I already have the program working. But when i create an executable of it with py2exe and start it, i don't want to see that it is running, perhaps just in the systemtray. That is my problem. thanks!

How to hide a program?
Hi all, I've created a program that receives files and opens the corresponding program (for example adobe acrobat). However, when started, i would like to see nothing of the running program. I only want to see the program that will be opened. Is it possible to start a program 'hidden' or minimized to at least the system tray? And, if yes., could some one help me on this? Thanks already!

True. But there is another issue attached to the one i wrote.
When i know how much this occurs, i know the amount of pages in the
file. After that i would like to be able to extract a given amount of
data:
file x contains 20 <0C>. then for example i would like to extract from
instance 5 to instance 12 from the file.
The reason why i want to do this: The 0C stands for a pagebreak in PCL
language. This way i would be absle to extract a certain amount of
pages from the file.

how to do reading of binary files?
Hi all, I need some help on the following issue. I can't seem to solve it. I have a binary (pcl) file. In this file i want to search for specific codes (like <0C>). I have tried to solve it by reading the file character by character, but this is very slow. Especially when it comes to files which are large (>10MB) this is consuming quite some time. Does anyone has a hint/clue/solution on this? thanks already! Jeroen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Help needed on config files
Ok, with all your help and very useful hints, i managed to solve it!
thanks!
Now my program loops through the config file, and deletes the files
older than 7 days with a specified extension.
Here's my program:
#this project removes old log files
import os, time
from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
now=time.time()
cfg = ConfigParser()
cfg.read("projects.cfg")
#loop through the config file
for proj in cfg.sections():
print ""
#get the path where file files should be
path = cfg.items(proj)[1][1]
#get the filetype
ftype = cfg.items(proj)[0][1]
print "project: %s, path to old logfiles: %s" % (proj, path)
dirList=os.listdir(path)
# Now check if the file is not a dir and then check if the file is
older than 7 days
for fname in dirList:
if fname.endswith(ftype):
pad = path+"\\"+fname
if os.stat(pad).st_mtime < now - 7 * 86400:
if os.path.isfile(pad):
os.remove(pad)
print "The file %s is deleted" % (fname)
===
#projects.cfg
[ebiz_factuur]
dir=c:\customer\ebiz_factuur
type=.log
[test]
dir=c:\temp

Help needed on config files
Hi there, I am quite new on python programming and need some help on solving my problem.. I have to make a (python) program which deletes files from directories. I don't think deleting, etc. is the problem. The problem is that the directories where i have to delete them are 'dynamic'/ subject to change. So what i thought is to make a config file containing an identifier (useful for myself) and there the directory. something like: [PROJECTx] [PROJECTy] I have already seen that there are sorts of modules where you can read a config file, but only when you know the key.. Can someone help me out on this? The configfile can be altered in time (as there are more projects coming where i have to delete files on a scheduled basis). This is a good learning project for me, but i really don't see how to solve this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
