Creating interactive command-line Python app?
by planetthoughtful Dec. 18, 2014

Dec. 18, 2014

Hello All, Newbie to Python, and I'm wondering if it's possible to create a Python console app that prompts for further input on the command line when run (in Windows XP, if that's important)? I've tried Googling, but the results are overwhelmingly about interactive Python environments (IPython etc etc), instead of how to achieve prompting at the command line when running your own Python app. Any help appreciated! Much warmth, planetthoughtful

Nov. 11, 2014

New B question -- Need help with win32net.NetGroupAddUser. I used Mark Hammond sample code to create a new user from his book Python Programming on Win32. I then added one line to add the newuser to a group. def CreateUserAndShare(userName, fullName): homeDir = "%s\\%s" % (serverName, userName) # Create user data in information level 3 (PyUSER_INFO_3) format. userData = {} userData['name'] = userName userData['full_name'] = fullName userData['password'] = userName userData['flags'] = win32netcon.UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT | win32netcon.UF_SCRIPT userData['priv'] = win32netcon.USER_PRIV_USER userData['home_dir'] = homeDir userData['home_dir_drive'] = "P:" userData['primary_group_id'] = ntsecuritycon.DOMAIN_GROUP_RID_USERS userData['password_expired'] = 1 # User must change password next logon. # Create the user win32net.NetUserAdd(serverName, 3, userData) win32net.NetGroupAddUser(serverName, "Administrator", userName) This is my error: pywintypes.api_error: (2220, 'NetGroupAddUser', 'The group name could not be found.') What should I be using for the groupname parameter, I've tried them all, Administrator, Guests, Users ext.... Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, kc

Perl Template Toolkit: Now in spicy new Python flavor
by eefacm＠gmail.com Oct. 8, 2014

Oct. 8, 2014

I'd like to inform the Python community that the powerful and popular Template Toolkit system, previously available only in its original Perl implementation, is now also available in a beta Python implementation: http://tt2.org/python/index.html I created this port both as a fun programming project, and for use in environments where Perl is not available, for reasons technical, cultural, or otherwise. The extensive Perl test suites have also been ported, and most templates require no or very little modification. Discussion of the Python implementation should be conducted on the main Template Toolkit developer mailing list; see the site above for details.

Just had to change ´file´ to ´open´ for my Python 2.1. Adding the method ´flush(self)´ to Writer helped to get my ´sys.stdout.flush()´ to work. Thanks also to two inches (previous post). Mike

Many Control System manufacturers have their own OPC -servers. There exists a visual basic wrapper -library so that one write VB - programs to enquire data from OPC -server.Wrapper done to python would be cool. Mark Hammond was not interested, but I am not giving up yet... -pekka-
