[Tutor] Design Outline question for personal project
(please forgive the unclear thought process i am still trying to figure out what i need done and the order there of) i am going to set up a network of zigbee nodes. when a event such as: motion movement or touch awakens node i want it's alert to the network to trigger a programmed response. what i have to figure out is using a database maybe mysql or (cherrypy seems interesting as a http frame (can it send pop3 or imap? do i need a database if it does?). to store the node id's numbers and the email address i want sent. i need that node number to send it's associated email message to me at my account. so i believe that the zigbee node's have id already pre-programmed so that should not be an issuse. once the event (i'll need to have a program to take that report? or does the database do that already?) has been reported to the database, the node id should trigger an email? (do i need an email client to send that or does sockets have some thing to do with that?) that's really all that i can think i need which most likey means i am missing the boat. so i figure that i need to study as well as python. cherrypy: has a mini sever and database so i can use that instead of mysql? Twisted mail? do i have to use all of twisted or can i just use to mail part? socket? okay i will google it for some gen. info but pointers of focus can really help am i missing anything? thanks any bits of info helps just an non-cpu kinda guy with a plan. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Design-Outline-question-for-personal-project-tp14460833p14460833.html Sent from the Python - tutor mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

(cherrypy seems interesting as a http frame (can it send pop3 or imap? do i need a database if it does?). Yes it can do pop and imap vuia standard python pop and imap email modules and no it doesn't need a database for email. Databases just store data and allow you to retrieve it. (OK some have fancy trigger/event mechanisms too) so i believe that the zigbee node's have id already pre-programmed so that should not be an issuse. Sounds like it. once the event (i'll need to have a program to take that report? or does the database do that already?) has been reported to the database, You probably want a node object to retrieve the data from the database and use that to send the email usong the standard python email modules. the node id should trigger an email? (do i need an email client to send that or does sockets have some thing to do with that?) that's really all that i can think i need which most likey means i am missing the boat. Sockets are involved bt the email modules should shield you from all of that. so i figure that i need to study as well as python. cherrypy: has a mini sever and database so i can use that instead of mysql? You could use standard CGI for this but CherryPy might make it easier. Twisted mail? do i have to use all of twisted or can i just use to mail part? socket? You definitely don't need Twisted at this stage. Standard Python email modules should do all you need. You might want some classes and hence some OOP -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
