urllib2 http status
by rosendo＠dbora.com July 31, 2003

July 31, 2003

I'm writing a http client to test some applications. The code below it's the core of the client: try: start_ts = time.time() request = urllib2.Request('http://%s%s' %(req.host,req.path), req.data, req.headers) request.add_header("Referer", 'http://%s%s' %(req.host,req.path)) c.add_cookie_header(request) c.clear() #request = urllib2.Request('http://www.google.com') try: response = urllib2.urlopen(request) data = response.read() headers = response.info().headers #status = response.info().status d = c.extract_cookies(response, request) except urllib2.URLError, msg: print "URLError: ", msg; except urllib2.HTTPError, msg: print "HTTPError: ", msg; except: print sys.exc_type,sys.exc_value duration = time.time() - start_ts print 'The result had status: %s duration: %5.2f http://%s%s' %(response.info().status, duration, req.host,req.path) except: print sys.exc_type,sys.exc_value print 'cagadita....' + str(req) Before this code we declare c = ClientCookie.Cookies(), etc...... Then i don't know how to know the status of the response, because the property: response.info().status seems not to function like i wait, that it's with an 200, 301, 400, etc..... How can obtein this status? I prefer not use httplib, but with urllib2 i'm not sure if i could obtain the HTTP status. Thanks in advance. Rosendo.

how to gunzip a string ?
by Bill Loren July 31, 2003

July 31, 2003

I guess I really need some sort of library that will do a gzip decoding to a compressed string. assume that I have a gzipped_string_reply I got from an HTTP server, It'd be superb to have a gunzip class that takes it and return its decoded equivalent. I managed to do it with the gzip library only after saving the string to a file and then opening and reading it with gzip.open, but it's extremely ugly. any suggestions ? thanks! ~ B

Python2.3 and MySQLdb on Windows
by Mike M July 31, 2003

July 31, 2003

Python2.3 and MySQLdb don't seem to work together on Windows. If I understand the error message correctly, the problem seems to be that the _mysql binary expects version 2.2 of the Python dll. Does anyone know of a fix for this, or when a Windows version that works with 2.3 will be available?

You may want to check out the pygame modules (http://www.pygame.org), specifically the event module. It's been a while since I've looked through the specifications for it, so I'm not positive it does exactly what you want, but it bears checking out. -Rob S.

I am basically looking for a FAST alternative to PHP meaning the responce time is fast. Do you think that Python with using the CGI module is a good solution?

You could put your string in an cStringIO: c_string= cStringIO.StringIO(compressed_string) gzip_handle=gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=c) gzip_handle.read() HtH, Andreas

Uh, isn't that pretty much what I said? I don't think I mixed up the ideas. I only said that what ActiveState's Visual Python was and what I was originally hoping it would be were not the same. > The idea of integrating the Python language somehow into the .NET > framework is independent of VS.NET-the-IDE, though I suppose one might > like some level of connection between the two.

Yes, I was aware of these, too. Despite Microsoft's claims about the .NET platform being language-independent, it doesn't seem to be a simple task to get Python going on it. So far, I think there are only VB.NET, C++, C# and J#. No Python#, Perl# or Ruby#, as of yet...

time, calendar, datetime, etc
by kylotan＠hotmail.com July 31, 2003

July 31, 2003

Is there any chance of these modules becoming somewhat combined in the future? Right now it seems a little awkward to find the function you want. The main culprit is 'timegm' which is the only thing I need from the calendar module but which should probably be in the time module. And does datetime.timetuple() actually return something equivalent to a struct_time as used by the time module? At first glance this looks to be true, but it isn't clearly documented as such. Personally I think 2 separate modules (1 high level, 1 low level corresponding to the C api) would suffice, or even to combine it all into one coherent module. Is there any benefit to the status quo that I am missing? PS. I use 'time.strptime(myTime, '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y')' as a reverse-asctime(), and was surprised that I couldn't find this wrapped in a function in any of the modules. Maybe such a function would be considered for future addition? -- Kylotan
