[Tutor] python + sharepoint
Can someone assist in a very basic task of retrieving a '.txt' file from a sharepoint document library using Python 2.4 standard libraries? I'm certain, I need to build up some form of authentication to pass, but do not know where to begin. Also, I do not want to attempt to customize or install additional packages to the server for this (Solaris).

Still no response on this one, but I did find a 'rather ugly' solution
using subprocess for wget to get a file from sharepoint...
#!/usr/bin/env python
import getpass
import re
import shlex
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
# build sharepoint user/pw
# note: shlex.split requires both a raw and escaped domain string
user = r'DOMAIN\\ID'
pw = getpass.getpass('password: ')
url = 'http://myserver.com/myfile.txt'
cmd = 'wget --no-proxy --user=%s --password=%s -O- %s' % (user, pw, url)
# create the args for subprocess.Popen
args = shlex.split(cmd)
# get the tuple from the command
s = Popen(args, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE).communicate()
# parse the stdout part of the tuple to get the exact list I want
vms = s[0].rstrip().split('\n')
vms[:] = (re.sub('\|.*$', '', vm.rstrip()) for vm in sorted(vms))
vms[:] = (vm for vm in vms if not re.search('primary', vm))
print vms

Ah.
Well that explains why your version using urllib2 failed -- you don't give a
username or password, and sharepoint (whatever that is!) requires one.
You might have said.
You can read the Fine Manual, which describes how to fetch Internet resources:
http://docs.python.org/howto/urllib2.html
That is written for Python 2.7, here's one for 2.4:
http://docs.python.org/dev/howto/urllib2.html
Since you need to authenticate, this will probably be helpful:
