Connecting to Dropbox with Python - Mouse Vs Python
Yesterday, I stumbled on to Dropbox’s Python API. I ended up using their tutorial to design a simple class for accessing my Dropbox. You’ll need to download their dropbox module to follow along or use “pip install dropbox” to install it. You will also need to sign up for a key and secret. Once you have that, you’ll need to name your application and choose your access level. Then you should be good
Python Concurrency: Porting from a Queue to Multiprocessing - Mouse Vs Python
Earlier this week, I wrote a simple post about Python’s Queues and demonstrated how they can be used with a threading pool to download a set of PDFs from the United States Internal Revenue Service’s website. Today I decided to try “porting” that code over to Python’s multiprocessing module. As one of my readers pointed out, Python’s Queues and threads are limited to running on only one core due to
Advanced Python - How to Dynamically Load Modules or Classes - Mouse Vs Python
Every now and then you’ll find yourself needing to load modules or classes dynamically. In other words, you’ll want to be able to import a module without knowing ahead of time which one you’re going to import. In this article, we’ll look at two ways to accomplish this feat in Python. Using the __import__ Magic Method The easiest way to do this sort of thing is to use the “magic” method, __import__
An Intro to pyfpdf - A Simple Python PDF Generation Library - Mouse Vs Python
Today we’ll be looking at a simple PDF generation library called pyfpdf, a port of FPDF which is a php library. This is not a replacement for Reportlab, but it does give you more than enough to create simple PDFs and may meet your needs. Let’s take a look and see what it can do! Note: PyFPDF is no longer maintained. It has been replaced with fpdf2 Installing pyfpdf You can just use pip to install
Parsing XML with Python using lxml.objectify - Mouse Vs Python
A couple years ago I started a series of articles on XML parsing. I covered lxml’s etree and Python’s included minidom XML parsing library. For whatever reason I didn’t notice lxml’s objectify sub-package, but I saw it recently and decided I should check it out. To my mind, the objectify module seems to be even more “Pythonic” than etree is. Let’s take a some time and go over my old XML examples u
wxPython for Python 3 is Almost Here!!! - Mouse Vs Python
Robin Dunn, creator and mastermind behind wxPython, announced today on his blog and the wxPython-dev mailing list that he had gotten wxPython 2.9 (Phoenix) to build successfully for Python 3.2 on Mac. In fact, he posted a Quicktime video that shows the build and the tests running in Python 3! According to wxPython-dev, once they have some Python 3 buildbot slaves set up, then snapshot builds can b
SqlAlchemy: A Simple Tutorial for Elixir - The Mouse Vs. The Python
Elixir is a lightweight declarative layer on top of SqlAlchemy that’s been around since 2006, well before SqlAlchemy released their own built-in Declarative syntax. Elixir was created by a collaboration between Jonathan LaCour, Daniel Haus and Gaëtan de Menten who had a passion for making SqlAlchemy even easier to use. In this tutorial, we’ll look at how to to create our own database with Elixir a
Reportlab Tables - Creating Tables in PDFs with Python - Mouse Vs Python
Back in March of this year, I wrote a simple tutorial on Reportlab, a handy 3rd party Python package that allows the developer to create PDFs programmatically. Recently, I received a request to cover how to do tables in Reportlab. Since my Reportlab article is so popular, I figured it was probably worth the trouble to figure out tables. In this article, I will attempt to show you the basics of ins
SqlAlchemy: Connecting to pre-existing databases - Mouse Vs Python
Accessing databases with Python is a simple process. Python even provides a sqlite database library that’s built into the main distribution (since 2.5). My favorite way to access databases with Python is to use the 3rd party package, SqlAlchemy. SqlAlchemy is an object-relational mapper (ORM), which means that it takes SQL constructs and makes them more like the target language. In this case, you
A PyInstaller Tutorial - Build a Binary Series! - Mouse Vs Python
In our previous article on building binaries, we learned a little about py2exe. This time around, we will be focusing our collective attention on the ins and outs of PyInstaller. We’ll use the same lame wxPython script from the last article for one of our examples, but we’ll also try a normal console script to see what the differences are, if any. In case you didn’t know, PyInstaller works on Linu
