pip install twilio
works perfectly on a Pi2.   Just bought a new Pi3 with the latest NOOB.  
same version of python (2.7.9), same version of pip (1.5.6).  I keep getting the error:

TypeError: __str__ returned non-string (type Error)

Googling around, I checked and verified that
- no network issue, Chromium connects to https://pypi.python.org/simple/twilio/
- my date/time on the computer is correct
- some talk about --trusted-host=http://pypi.python.org/simple/ but that parameter is not valid on pip
- some talk about creating an /etc/pip.conf file and adding trusted-host=pypi.python.org but that makes no difference (assuming pip every reads that file...)

My guess is that it has something to do with the SSL certificates... but I have no idea how to solve it.  
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev did not help

Thoughts?

Are there any instructors like
simon allardice
from lynda.com, plursight.com
who explain computer science concepts without using a scripting language.

Just verbally.

Please add (or subtract) zones

I have below python script

response = ''
ascii_map = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345'
for j in range(7):
    response += ascii_map[(int('3996146930') >> (5*j)) & 31]
print response

So long story short I think it MAY have something to do with my shebang in my python. I know on our server we have a few different versions of Python and I installed my modules (paramiko and pysftp) in the correct place I believe. Honestly I have researched and am having trouble understanding how exactly the shebang works and knowing what interpreter it is pulling from or why the cron job is failing for that script (is there a log file perhaps to help determine the cause?)

Cron listing:
* * * * * /usr/local/mlb_cdt_download_newv2.py > /dev/null 2>&1
(Yes for testing purposes I am trying to have it run every minute just to see if it runs)

Script:

#!/usr/local/lib/python2.7
import os
import pysftp
import os.path
import paramiko

HOST=""
USER=""
PASSWORD=""
SUFFIX_TO_FETCH__AND_DELETE=".csv"
DESTINATION_PATH="/mnt/sas/ftp_mlb"

srv = pysftp.Connection(host=HOST, username=USER, password=PASSWORD)

def do_nothing(fname):
        return  " "

def fetch_and_remove(fname):
    if not fname.endswith(SUFFIX_TO_FETCH__AND_DELETE):
        return # skip files with wrong suffix
    dst_fname = os.path.join(DESTINATION_PATH, fname)
    dst_dirname = os.path.dirname(dst_fname)
    if os.path.isfile(dst_fname):
        return " "
    else:
        srv.get(fname, dst_fname)
        srv.remove(fname)

srv.walktree('.', fetch_and_remove, do_nothing, do_nothing)

srv.close()

For the record, running this script from the commando line works instantly and perfectly. But when trying to automate it through the cron I have no luck.

Any help trying to understand which interpreter my cron is trying to use and the location of such would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Python Individuals,

I need to connect to the Lotus Notes and do some operations (Send/Receive mail with Attachments).
However, I am not able to get past even the ‘Dispatch’ step:

import os, sys, stat, shutil
import os.path
import string
from configparser import SafeConfigParser
import tempfile
import logging
import getpass
import time
from win32com.client import makepy
from win32com.client import Dispatch
import win32com.client
import pywintypes
import smtplib
import csv # imports the csv module
makepy.GenerateFromTypeLibSpec('Lotus Domino Objects')
makepy.GenerateFromTypeLibSpec('IBM Notes Automation Classes')
Session = win32com.client.Dispatch('Lotus.NotesSession')

Select all Open in new window

This rises an exception (Traceback)
File ..\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py in _GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
Pywinttypes.com.error: (-2147221021, ‘Operation unavailable’, None, None)

During handling of above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback

Session = win32com.client.Dispatch('Lotus.NotesSession')
File ..\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py in Dispatch

      return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)

Thanks in advance for any ideas or aid.

---------but expected output should be in tableformat-----
i need to get the person id attribute also...pls answer

Does anybody know of an implementation in C#, python, or JAVA of the NEAR function in SQL Server?

I want to import a huge number of very small text files (content is 1 line per file) parse the line and convert it to another text file using delphi. Using the simplest assign(f) etc approach will take several weeks to execute. The bottleneck might probably be the opening/closing of each file. Is there any other way of doing this a lot faster?  maybe using another scripting language? which one?

Below code works perfectly now I want to provide ObjectType(ObjectIdentity()) as a variable which will be constructed as a list of OID

from pysnmp.hlapi import *

g = getCmd(SnmpEngine(),
           CommunityData('myPa$$word'),
           UdpTransportTarget(('loadbalancer-staging.com', 161)),
           ContextData(),
           ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0')),
		   ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0')))

for x in next(g)[3]:
    print x

I have a list of OID as below and somehow I want to put that in getCmd method as a variable

mibs = ['1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0', '1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0']

Select all Open in new window

so basically I have a dynamic list of OID (minimum 3 and maximum 9 ) and I want to supple them as a variable in above code so that in ONE SNMP call I will get output of all the OIDs. Is there a way I can do it? Thanks!

I want to be data analyst.
