[Tutor] retrieving httponly cookies on accessing webpage with urllib2

[xbmuncher]

I'm trying to mimic my firefox browser in requesting a webpage with python.
Here are the headers obtained by wireshark when I accessed it with firefox:
GET /dirName/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.website.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3)
Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive


the website responds with this header:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 03:16:19 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.59 (FreeBSD) PHP/4.4.7 with Suhosin-Patch
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.7
Set-Cookie: bbsessionhash=1c9eacae7c56fefc79e627b07a9af8ae; path=/; HttpOnly

Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 7099
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1



So I tried trusty ol' urllib2 to request it in python:
import urllib2


url = 'http://www.website.com'

#headers
h = {
'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3)
Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3',
'Accept' :
'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
'Accept-Language' : 'en-us,en;q=0.5',
'Accept-Encoding' : 'gzip,deflate',
'Accept-Charset' : 'ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7',
'Keep-Alive' : '300',
'Connection' : 'keep-alive'
}
#request page
reqObj = urllib2.Request(url, None, h)
urlObj = urllib2.urlopen(reqObj)

#read response
print urlObj.read()
print urlObj.geturl()
print urlObj.info()

#close urlObj
urlObj.close()

raw_input('press a key...')


it returns these headers:
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 03:39:20 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.59 (FreeBSD) PHP/4.4.7 with Suhosin-Patch
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.7
Content-Length: 1311
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html


Notice the content length is considerably smaller, and no cookies are sent
to me like they were in firefox. I know only a little about httpOnly
cookies, but that it is some kind of special cookie that I suppose has
something to do with python not being able to access it like firefox. All I
want to do is have python receive the same cookies that firefox did, how can
I do this? I read somewhere that httpOnly cookies were implemented in the
python cookie module:
http://glyphobet.net/blog/blurb/285
yet the other cookies aren't being sent either...

[Tutor] Convert a Sequence of Images into an AVI file

[Wayne Watson]

Title: Signature.html




I have a file of images shot at a frame rate of 1/30th of a second.
They are 640 by 480 bytes followed immediately by up to 200 smaller
images 128x128 pixels. The software I'm using will convert this into a
mov file. I'd like to simply take the large images out of the file and
make an avi file from them. What in Python will help me do that?

You might take a look at VPython.  I've used it before, but not for
educational purposes.  There are some interesting looking videos at

Try the Python edu-sig mailing list.
It is for those using Python in education.

There are probably others there who have done this already.

I posted a query on sci.physics (newsgroup) on this question. I'll get
back if anything useful pops up.

Try Amazon with a search on python science, or whatever, as a title. 

You might try Google and search for high school physics python. There
are some pretty advanced HS around the country that might have
attempted something like you propose. My guess though is that you will 
have to construct a course pretty much from scratch. It should be
interesting.

Personally, I think technology should be left out, and one should
concentrate on physics without math or technology. However, that's not
easy. I think a famous physicist said something like think about
physics not math. (Perhaps he was thinking about energy. We really
don't know what it is, but the concept and math works. It's important
to understand the abstraction.)  I suspect the real motivation of the
physicist was to create a concept, and then turn it into a new kind of
math, for example, as Feynman did. Just an opinion.

In any case, good luck.

I just can't leave well enough alone. Down to 14 lines.
More names, less magic numbers.

word = "Almuta$r~id"
window = position = 5
shortAndOmit = "aiou+~"
rest = "_" * window + "".join(letter for letter in word

How about:

word = "Almuta$r~id"
predecessors = "_" * 5
successors = "".join(letter for letter in word if letter not in "aiou+~")
for index, letter in enumerate(word):
 if letter not in "aiou~+":
   next = word[index+1] if index < len(word) - 1 else ""
   if next in "aiou":
 tail = next
   elif next == "~":
 next = word[index+2] # bold assumption that a short vowel will 
follow ~

 tail = "~" + next
   else:
 tail = "_"
   print predecessors + successors + tail
   predecessors = predecessors[1:] + letter
   successors = successors[1:] + ("_" if len(successors) <= 5 else "")

Simple - procedural - no functions. 16 lines of code. Easy to read and 
maintain.

It works fine. It seems that in the file you have there are lines whose
length is less than you should expect, or maybe a more experienced Python
programmer can give you a better answer.

[Tutor] newbie question about list element manipulation after split()

[Visvaldas K.]

Hi,

I feel very stupid, but I am stuck. I could try some workaround, but I want to 
understand what I am doing wrong.

The line:

for line in open("parameterfile").readlines( ):
print line.split()# trouble line


The "trouble line" works fine in this example. It prints
what I want, something which looks like lists of words:

['CT', 'CT', '268.0', '1.529']...  etc.

However, if I want to manipulate the individual list elements, I run into 
trouble. While

print line.split()[0]

still works, (it yields CT  - first element), 

however,

print line.split()[1]

gives error:

File "readatoms.py", line 103, in 
print line.split()[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

Could you please tell me what's wrong. (I come from Perl background so Python 
seems out-of-the-body experience to me).

Sincerely,

Vis
