Printing UTF-8 mail to terminal
by Loris Bennett Nov. 2, 2024

Nov. 2, 2024

Hi, I have a command-line program which creates an email containing German umlauts. On receiving the mail, my mail client displays the subject and body correctly: Subject: Übung Sehr geehrter Herr Dr. Bennett, Dies ist eine Übung. So far, so good. However, when I use the --verbose option to print the mail to the terminal via if args.verbose: print(mail) I get: Subject: Übungsbetreff Sehr geehrter Herr Dr. Bennett, Dies ist eine =C3=9Cbung. What do I need to do to prevent the body from getting mangled? I seem to remember that I had issues in the past with a Perl version of a similar program. As far as I recall there was an issue with fact the greeting is generated by querying a server, whereas the body is being read from a file, which lead to oddities when the two bits were concatenated. But that might just have been a Perl thing. Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under constuction.

Correct module for site customization of path
by Tim Johnson Nov. 1, 2024

Nov. 1, 2024

FYI: I am retired programmer using a recent upgrade to ubuntu 24.04 and python 3.12 My needs are that of a hobbyist at this time. I am on a single user home desktop with root privileges available. After the recent upgrades I had to install youtube_dl with pipx for the new python version. When I ran the script which imported youtube_dl, I got an import error as it appears the path to the module was not in sys.path. For me, it was a simple matter of appending the path for youtube_dl to sys.path, however, I would prefer to not have to do an append at every script using it. There is a boatload of documentation of site path configuration, but still, I am not sure what option to take. Recommendations are invited and welcome. Thanks -- Tim thjmmj15(a)gmail.com

Using 'with open(...) as ...' together with configparser.ConfigParser.read
by Loris Bennett Oct. 31, 2024

Oct. 31, 2024

Hi, With Python 3.9.18, if I do try: with open(args.config_file, 'r') as config_file: config = configparser.ConfigParser() config.read(config_file) print(config.sections()) i.e try to read the configuration with the variable defined via 'with ... as', I get [] whereas if I use the file name directly try: with open(args.config_file, 'r') as config_file: config = configparser.ConfigParser() config.read(args.config_file) print(config.sections()) I get ['loggers', 'handlers', 'formatters', 'logger_root', 'handler_fileHandler', 'handler_consoleHandler', 'formatter_defaultFormatter'] which is what I expect. If I print type of 'config_file' I get <class '_io.TextIOWrapper'> whereas 'args.config_file' is just <class 'str'> Should I be able to use the '_io.TextIOWrapper' object variable here? If so how? Here https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/configparser.html there are examples which use the 'with open ... as' variable for writing a configuration file, but not for reading one.

Poetry: endpoints with endpoints
by Loris Bennett Oct. 31, 2024

Oct. 31, 2024

Hi, I am using Poetry and have the following in my pyproj.toml [tool.poetry.scripts] frobnicate = "frobnicator.cli:frobnicate" The CLI provides an option '--flavour' and I would like to add further endpoints for specific values of 'flavour'. I tried adding frobnicate_foo = "frobnicator.cli:frobnicate --flavour foo" to '[tool.poetry.scripts]', but when I call this I get the error $ poetry run frobnicate_foo --verbose File "<string>", line 1 import sys; from importlib import import_module; sys.argv = ['frobnicate, '--verbose']; import_module('frobniator.cli').frobnicate --flavour foo() ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Is it possible to add such endpoint? If so, how? Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under constuction.

It isn't a beginners tutorial but at some point 'Python Distilled' is helpful. https://www.dabeaz.com/python-distilled/ Usual disclaimer: i don't know Beazley and am not getting any kickback.

How to check whether audio bytes contain empty noise or actual voice/signal?
by marc nicole Oct. 28, 2024

Oct. 28, 2024

Hello Python fellows, I hope this question is not very far from the main topic of this list, but I have a hard time finding a way to check whether audio data samples are containing empty noise or actual significant voice/noise. I am using PyAudio to collect the sound through my PC mic as follows: FRAMES_PER_BUFFER = 1024 FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16 CHANNELS = 1 RATE = 48000 RECORD_SECONDS = 2import pyaudio audio = pyaudio.PyAudio() stream = audio.open(format=FORMAT, channels=CHANNELS, rate=RATE, input=True, frames_per_buffer=FRAMES_PER_BUFFER, input_device_index=2) data = stream.read(FRAMES_PER_BUFFER) I want to know whether or not data contains voice signals or empty sound, To note that the variable always contains bytes (empty or sound) if I print it. Is there an straightforward "easy way" to check whether data is filled with empty noise or that somebody has made noise/spoke? Thanks.
