Re: Best way to do data source abstraction

Arthur Pemberton enlightened us with: > What is the best way to do data source abtraction? That depends on your data source. For files, file-like objects are an abstraction. For databases there is PEP 249. > I was thinking of almost having classA as my main class, and have > classA dynamically "absorb" classFood into to based on the extension > of the input file received by classA. But this doesn't seem > possible. You don't explain the most important part - "absorb". What does that mean? And what does it mean to have classA "almost" as your main class? Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? Frank Zappa

Best way to do data source abstraction
by Arthur Pemberton June 1, 2006

June 1, 2006

What is the best way to do data source abtraction? For example have different classes with the same interface, but different implementations. I was thinking of almost having classA as my main class, and have classA dynamically "absorb" classFood into to based on the extension of the input file received by classA. But this doesn't seem possible. Please advise. Thank you. -- To be updated...

problem with file upload...
by kapil.sundrani＠wipro.com June 1, 2006

June 1, 2006

I have a problem in uploading a file. The input tag looks like <input type=file name=filename id=filename> and the form tag looks like. <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/cgi-bin/portal/buildmgr.py"> But still after form submission I don't get the file data. Debugging shows that the input field is being taken as a MinifieldStorage instead of FieldStorage.

TSV to HTML
by Brian June 1, 2006

June 1, 2006

I was wondering if anyone here on the group could point me in a direction that would expllaing how to use python to convert a tsv file to html. I have been searching for a resource but have only seen information on dealing with converting csv to tsv. Specifically I want to take the values and insert them into an html table. I have been trying to figure it out myself, and in essence, this is what I have come up with. Am I on the right track? I really have the feeling that I am re-inventing the wheel here. 1) in the code define a css 2) use a regex to extract the info between tabs 3) wrap the values in the appropriate tags and insert into table. 4) write the .html file Thanks again for your patience, Brian

Is device Connected Windows?
by placid June 1, 2006

June 1, 2006

Hi all, Just wondering is there a way (not brute force) to check if a usb storage device is connected? The brute force method im talking about is doing a os.path.isdir() or os.path.isdir() on all the drive letters from A-Z, because you know that this usb device contains a folder called A or file called foo.txt. Thanks in Advance

Try/Except for ADSI GetObject
by LittlePython June 1, 2006

June 1, 2006

I am a little confused on why I can not detect an object that does not exist with a try and except. If I understand ADSI correctly from what I have read you do not create these objects but rather get them. They already exist. I believe if I do the equivalent in VB I would generate an error when I try to get an object that does not exist (can not find). What have I done wrong? I have included the function below that works in ever respect but detecting incorrect NT Domain Names (objects that do not exist) . Any tips, insight or comments would be welcome by this newbie. Thx def CheckNT4(header, all): adsi = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsNameSpaces') try: nt = adsi.GetObject('', "WinNT://"+ frm.NTName) #----->I need some type of try/except to detect incorrect NT Domain Names except: print "Domain name failed" # this does not detect a problem nt.Filter = ['user'] try: oSID = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsSid') except: MyUsers = [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] is ''] for ea in MyUsers: ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT' ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] ='Can not find ADsSid' MyUsers = [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] is ''] intcnt = 0 for user in nt: for ea in MyUsers: if string.upper(user.Name) == string.upper(ea[GetPostion(header, 'OLDNTLOGON')]): frm.MyProgress.Update ( intcnt, 'Found NT user and SID : ' + user.Name ) intcnt = intcnt+ 1 if user.AccountDisabled: ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT' ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] ='Disabled' else: if ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] is not '': ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] = '' oSID.SetAs (5, "WinNT://"+ frm.NTName + '/' + user.Name) ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'PassNT' ea[GetPostion(header, 'Nt4Sid')] = oSID.GetAs(1) for user in [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] is '']: user[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT' user[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] = 'NoNt4Account'

beginner: using parameter in functions
by 3rdshiftcoder June 1, 2006

June 1, 2006

hi- i am having trouble using parameter values in my function and to be honest a little trouble with member variables. i am trying to pass in the argument 'd' representing delete. what the code will do is if it is 'd' it will make a delete query template string. if it is an 'i' then insert query etc. this is the results of my attempt to print the contents of the parameter values. <__main__.getQryStr instance at 0x01151D50> ('d',) me mad (and on a side note if i dont include the *args i get an invalid number of parameters supplied message.) why is it returning the value in this format ('d',) ? i cant get x == d i guess that value 'd' is stored in a tuple and i'd like to get it out of there. so basically the function returns nope as it stands python is sure different from other languages i have used. thanks for any help, jim class getQryStr: def __init__(self,op): print op self.x = 'd' def returnStr(x,*args): print '%s %s me mad' % (x,args) if x == 'd': s = Template("delete from columndef where tblid = $tblid and colname = $colname") else: return 'nope' #this else is just for illustration and testing d = dict(tblid=t.tblid.getText(), colname=t.colName.getText()) print s.substitute(d) return s def delqry(self): createfldobj = getQryStr('d') s = createfldobj.returnStr('d')
