imageshack.us client with python powers

Im searching about the a cli what can i upload images to imageshack.us and not found on google....

So i write my own client.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib2
from poster.encode import multipart_encode
from poster.streaminghttp import register_openers

API_URL = 'http://www.imageshack.us/index.php'

def yesno(x):
    if x:
        return 'yes'
    else:
        return 'no'

def upload_file(filename, optsize=None,
                user_cookie=None,
                remove_bar=True,
                tags=None,
                public=True,
                ):
    register_openers()
    data = {'fileupload' :open(filename),
            'xml':yesno(True)
            }
    datagen, headers = multipart_encode(data)

    # Some optional parameters
    if optsize:
        data['optsize'] = optsize
    if user_cookie:
        data['cookie'] = user_cookie
    if tags:
        data['tags'] = tags

    req = urllib2.Request(API_URL, datagen,headers)
    u = urllib2.urlopen(req)
    return u.read()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    print upload_file(sys.argv[1])

the result here:

This small app. needs module poster what make the encode multipart life easy. (on foresight its on fl:2-devel xD )

Yeah it need more hack .. hackimages github repo

guess what programming language control this robots

Epson TM-T88IV works on linux

Im very happy because i can setup a POS (Point of Sale) Thermal Printer. the Epson TM-T88IV.

I have googled to much because never setup a printer on linux. Ever i go to windows box and print from here.

The Epson TM-T88IV its a thermal printer its usual on Mexico. Well im need send print that.

Using the default epson driver fails... the only solution its make send raw format directly the printer.

so im found this http://www.familybusinesssoftware.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=10
Here exist a tool with modifications for send raw datas to printer for print. The test here.

Now im have a nother problem im need its works on printer xfce desktop for print from firefox..... (in progress).

Im very busy working with python ( im very very busy a long time seat infront pc) but the really i feel happiness because its PYTHON!

My partner on this project master of pyGtk but for some reason the project its using wxPython

And here some pics of design work:

why foresight use python 2.4 ?

Foresight linux use a python 2.4 and all software of python its limited by this.
The answer its here:
http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/rPath_Linux:rPath_Linux_2#Python_Version

On resume: we limited the of rpath linux stability ( what i think its very well ). But this touch to popular software.

Like gimp 2.6 needs python 2.5 christine needed, another cups solution needs update python well ... only have wait for solve the issue update to python 2.6 (FL-1452) on roadmap to foresight 2.5

im working to the release of foresight 2.5 KenVandine gime the responsability of PackageKit :S

My laptop ......... the vampire on bottom its called soots ( like zod ) the mushroom my girlfriend gift, GNU Network Object Model Environment :) ( guess which one is it....) my prefered web server ( alo give me it.) bottom left, my LUG sticker ( its a tux with a traditional clothed of Yucatan) yeap, its a toshiba laptop.

transmission Bittorrent Software with webinterface

Something what im search for a long time its a torrent software what can do the same of others software like amule, It comes with a web interface what i can control the software from web or external.

Some like have a machine only dedicate to download torrents!!!

amule can do it. But it use the ed2k servers and torrents. I want something light low memory usage for put a old machine only for donwload torrents when i not at home, and control it by webinterface.

So playing with foresight default Software i find transmission comes with that options :) im feel sooooo happy!!!

On Preferences >> Web can find the port for listen web interface.

Reading the forum today the transmission im found what imageshack.us have a service for download torrents, http://tor.imageshack.us/ (only for register users). And use transmission http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?t=4993.

Yeah!! transmission comes on Foresight 2.0.5 :)

foresight has OpenOffice 3.0

Well yesterday (12 Oct) The openoffice 3.0 its enable on Foresight It's on 2-devel, so this mean on devel label and for this needs report bugs.

For install it:

sudo conary update {group-ooo-gnome,openoffice.org-base}=@fl:2-devel

pidgin with silc support

Well the pidgin on foresight not have silc protocol enable because the the silc-toolkit its not packaged. So im my repo im package it.

sudo conary update silc-toolkit=zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel

So with it install the :lib and :devellib :devel troves so.

Do a :

sudo conary emerge pidgin

With it, its like gentoo emerge. Download the source .tar.gz from sf.net and compile it. So the silc-toolkit its installed, autoconf compile it with silc support.

well to the end you can connect to silc servers.

It works on Foresight linux

Foresight Kids edition

This version i seen how little with little effort comes. The foresight Council and members have kids, and TForsman i believe for her son, he package a lot of Games, Here the foresight games list, Im like to much and play a lot UrbanTerror find me with my nickname.

So today foresight release a new version for kids with a alot of Games:

Foresight Kids Edition

• Foobilliard, a 3D billiards / pool game.
• GNU Chess, a chess game.
• Super Maryo Chronicles, a 2D side scroller game featuring many different stages and levels..
  

WTF!!!!! we have a lot of Versions, xfce, gnome, mobile, and now kids ...... This probe the magic powers of Foresight+ Conary+ rBo

Well, passing to another things im having spend little time hacking conary-bancked of PackageKit that is the Add/Remove Software of Foresight. First checking the refresh-cache.py file that take a lot of time for populate a cache. A lot of time because im have a slow conection and on 2-qa label of foresight what have more 14,000 packages the whole process take 5min end.

So seen the code, put a lot of loggings codes. I found the cache when not exist do 2 times the population. And For each insert (more than 14,000) does a insert and commit. Searchings on sqlite3 documentation, i found first the inserts, One time commit ALL inserts and then modify a code for a one populate. Im reduce the time of cache to 2min. Yeah im rocks ...... So the next. I need a repository, i can do a git branch from packagekit but i dont like git, i think use a googlecode for subversion my code.

FL-1153 Nicotine-plus

I taken on the end of this week the package nicotine this a P2P software for the SoulSeek Network. It use the PySoulSeek/pyGtk2. So this have "python Powers".

FL-1153

This have his complete user guide.

Im remember a lot of time ago, when not exist p2p software i share files on IRC with DCC slots. Im using mirc and some scripts for do it. Using Dial-up Conection.......... uhhhhhhhh :)

This software remember that, because have a chat Integration so when you are downloading you can chat with other people how share files with you.

For install on foresightlinux:

$ sudo conary update nicotine-plus --install-label zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel

With it must download deps geoip, pyogg,pyvorbis, psyco ....

Droopy and Woof

WOOF, WOOF!!! Its not a DOG!!!! Woff is a very usefull python script for share files over the network. You give your IP:port and the file download automatically.

$ woof yucatux_fmat3.png 
Now serving on http://192.168.254.4:8080/
192.168.254.4 - - [28/Aug/2008 13:33:23] "GET /yucatux_fmat3.png HTTP/1.1" 200 -

This support filedirs, you can share a dir, and woof make a tarball of it. My favorite python scripts

Droopy isnot a cartoon dog. Its a python script with you can upload file over network. (viceverse of woof)

$ droopy  -m "Hellowwwwwwww" -p yucatux_fmat3.png 
HTTP server running... Check it out at http://localhost:8000
localhost.localdomain - - [28/Aug/2008 13:15:10] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
localhost.localdomain - - [28/Aug/2008 13:15:10] "GET /yucatux_fmat3.png HTTP/1.1" 200 -
localhost.localdomain - - [28/Aug/2008 13:15:22] "POST / HTTP/1.1" - -
localhost.localdomain - - [28/Aug/2008 13:15:22] *Received: coas.bmp*

The users visit your http://yourIP:8000 and can getyou a file, this is very usefull where you talking with someone on MSN'protocol and send files are very SLOW! open your firewall pass the link and upload the file.

For install on foresight:

conary update {woof,droopy}=zodyrepo.rpath.org@rpl:devel

seen youtube videos with mplayer

I have a very very slow internet conection ( 512Kb/s) with infinitum that mean i have behind of 50Kb of download.

So for seen youtube or flash videos are very slow conection, the videos stop for refill the cache buffer y blah blah blah... SLOW!!!

I found youtube-dl with can download the .flv file from youtube and play it with mplayer only pass a params for do it

first:

youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG-gMJfmGKA -o out

and When is downloading can play it with mplayer

mplayer out

And video open ..... thats is great!!!

On Foresight:

sudo conary update youtube-dl=@fl:2-devel mplayer

Pownce and django

UFF this changes its very very hard .......learning by myself how the django signals works an how change adding some stuff....

The idea from integrate pownce and django comes from, i dontlike twitter, and pownce give some stuff can i contrib to others users.

Well i hard to explain my code but this is...

First i create a model what populate from pownce, add a signal on post_save with that signal save a content type what is show, some like timeline of models .... with the pub_date with it i can show on the index of the contents of my blog and pownce

from django.db import models
from django.contrib import databrowse
from zodyblog.tumble.models import Item
from django.db.models import signals
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
import  django.dispatch

class PownceNote(models.Model):
    pownce_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    body = models.TextField()
    permalink = models.URLField()
    date= models.DateTimeField()
    def get_type(self):
        pownce_type="Message"
        if self.powncelink_set.all().count() > 0:
            pownce_type= "Link"
        if self.pownceevent_set.all().count() > 0:
            pownce_type="Event"
        if self.powncefile_set.all().count() > 0:
            pownce_type= "File"
        return pownce_type

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "[%s] %s" %(self.get_type(),self.body)

class PownceLink(models.Model):
    url = models.URLField()
    pownce_note = models.ForeignKey(PownceNote,unique=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.url

class PownceFile(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    type = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    pownce_note = models.ForeignKey(PownceNote,unique=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

class PownceEvent(models.Model):
    name  = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    ical  = models.URLField()
    location = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    date = models.DateTimeField()
    pownce_note = models.ForeignKey(PownceNote,unique=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

def create_item(sender,instance, **kwargs):
    ctype = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(instance)
    if ctype.name == "entrada":
        pub_date = instance.fecha
    else:
        pub_date = instance.date
    if "created" in kwargs:
        if kwargs["created"]:
            si,created = Item.objects.get_or_create(content_type=ctype, object_id=instance.id, pub_date=pub_date)
        else:
            si = Item.objects.get(content_type=ctype,object_id=instance.pk)
            si.pub_date=pub_date
            si.save()

signals.post_save.connect(create_item, sender=PownceNote)

Create a client for download my pownce notelist and updates, thats a simple script with urllib for get content and populate to model

import logging as log
log.basicConfig(level=log.DEBUG)
import urllib
import simplejson
import datetime
import sys

mypath="/home/zodman/lab/dev/zodyblog/"
sys.path.append(mypath)

from django.core.management import setup_environ
from django.utils.dateformat import DateFormat
import settings

setup_environ(settings)
from zodyblog.zodynetwork.models import PownceLink, PownceNote, PownceEvent, PownceFile

def link( entry, note ):
    link = PownceLink(url=entry["link"]["url"])
    link.pownce_note = note
    link.save()

def event( entry, note ):
    event = PownceEvent(
        name=entry["event"]["name"],
        ical=entry["event"]["ical"],
        location=entry["event"]["location"],
        date=entry["event"]["date"],
        pownce_note= note
        )
    event.save()

def file( entry, note ):
    file = PownceFile(name=entry["file"]["name"],type=entry["file"]["content_type"],pownce_note=note)
    file.save()
def message():
    pass

URL = "http://api.pownce.com/2.0/"
user ="zodman"

class TZ(datetime.tzinfo):
    def utcoffset(self,dt):
        return datetime.timedelta(hours=-5)
    def dst(self,dt):
        return self.utcoffset(dt)

# load the pownce posts
p = urllib.urlopen(URL+"note_lists/zodman.json")
json_response =  p.read()
notes = simplejson.loads(json_response)

for i in notes['notes']:
    if 'sender' in i:
        del i['sender']
    if 'app' in i:
        del i['app']

    functions = {
        "link":     lambda i,note: link(i,note),
        "message":  lambda i,note: message(),
        "event":    lambda i,note: event(i,note),
        "file":     lambda i,note: file(i,note)
    }
    dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(i['timestamp'],TZ())
    df = DateFormat(dt)
    defaults = {"body":i["body"], "permalink":i["permalink"]}
    note, created = PownceNote.objects.get_or_create(pownce_id=i['id'],date=df.format("Y-m-d H:i"),defaults=defaults)
    if created:
        functions[i["type"]](i,note)

Well and show it on the template...

I think this not the best way for show it but works for me

well if you have questions search me on irc.freenode.org or get my code on http://zodyblog.googlecode.com

the next to do, make a reusable app with this.

gwibber

gwibber is a gtk app. What it use the social microblogging sites.

It have support for Pownce, Twitter, facebook, Jaiku, Identica.

This is the only pownce client on gnome what i know. This is a good client for twitter, you can set the color for differences what services was posted.
