Trying to copy files from a remote desktop to my local.
Here is the code that tried...
import os
import os.path
import shutil
import sys
import win32wnet
def netcopy(host, source, dest_dir, username=None, password=None, move=False):
""" Copies files or directories to a remote computer. """
wnet_connect(host, username, password)
dest_dir = covert_unc(host, dest_dir)
# Pad a backslash to the destination directory if not provided.
if not dest_dir[len(dest_dir) - 1] == '\\':
dest_dir = ''.join([dest_dir, '\\'])
# Create the destination dir if its not there.
if not os.path.exists(dest_dir):
os.makedirs(dest_dir)
else:
# Create a directory anyway if file exists so as to raise an error.
if not os.path.isdir(dest_dir):
os.makedirs(dest_dir)
if move:
shutil.move(source, dest_dir)
else:
shutil.copy(source, dest_dir)
Trying to figure out how to establish a connection and copy files over to my local.
New to python here...
Are you using an RDP client?
Is this windows linux or mac ?
Which app are you using?
Is this a code you wrote ?
Do you know what virtual channels are ?
Is NLA on?
THere is very little information you provided.
can you even connect ? Can you ping the server ?
I'm trying to install packages in Atom editor, but it always fails, just like if I coudn't get a connexion to the server.
For instance, apm install split-diff returns Request for package information failed: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND atom.io atom.io:443 (ENOTFOUND)
I'm running Atom 1.32.2 on Linux Mint 19.
I don't use a proxy.
Check your DNS servers.
I ran into this problem randomly this afternoon when initially everything was working on my Mac.
I can reach the Internet fine. Github is up and reporting no issues, Atom.io is up...
Clues re:etc/hosts from other comments here pointed me to my my network settings anyway.
Checked and I have my DNS servers configured for VPN access, once I added OpenDNS servers as well, Atom installs starting working again.
Finally, I found out where the bug was!
For some reasons of personal convenience, I replaced /etc/hosts with a symlink (towards some place in my ~/ folder). THIS is what apm didn't like. (No idea why. I'd be glad to know...) Switching back to a real file for /etc/hosts made me able to install packages again.
I just installed split-diff and it loaded fine. Open Atom and under the Atom menu item select Preferences. This opens a new window and on the left side of the pane is a row of actions starting with Core and followed by Editor, URI Handling, and 5 other actions. Click on the Install action. This is where you can find and install extensions. Once you clicked on Install, the pane changes and there is a search box at the top. In the search box type split-diff and the name of your extension should appear. There should be a blue install button for the script. Click install and it should work.
I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and I was having this problem. I had a directory called /etc/hosts/ which was a cloned version of this repo.
Clearly having a directory named the same as a file isn't exactly a smart move, but I was able to solve the problem through moving the directory and running the install script for the repo again. The install script calls a which flushes the DNS file, found in line 1193 of this file here.
I extracted the script/function which should do the trick;
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Script by Ben Limmer
# https://github.com/l1m5
#
# This Python script will combine all the host files you provide
# as sources into one, unique host file to keep you internet browsing happy.

You need to use a filter breaker. I had the same problem installing the file_icons package, and the package was installed when the Siphon filter breaker was connected.
I am trying to update web scraper app that uses Beautiful Soup 4 in Python 3 in Anaconda to use the Requests package instead of urllib, urllib2 and urllib3.
urllib and urllib2 don't exist in the Anaconda channels and from what I have read requests package has made urllib and urllib2 obsolete. I am still rather new in Python programming for web scraping, and don't yet fully understand all concepts and internal subtleties of these 4 packages.
When I replace "urllib2.urlopen()" with "requests.get()", I get the following error:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
'''replace the following line with "page = Request.get(url)" '''
# page = urllib2.urlopen(url)
page = requests.get(url)
soup_page = BeautifulSoup(page,"lxml")
I get the following error message with no explanation in the bs4 module:
File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\bs4__init__.py", line 246, in init
elif len(markup) <= 256 and (
TypeError: object of type 'Response' has no len()
This error message puts me deep into the bowels of init.py in bs4.
I cannot find an explanation of how to port urllib or urllib2 code to requests with Beautiful Soup 4.
Can anyone provide an explicit guide on how to port urllib / urllib2 apps to use requests with beautiful soup in Python 3?
Anaconda / conda does not import urllib or urllib2 into Python 3 environments.
Thank you.
Rich
The error occurs because you're trying to pass the html code of the response to Beautifulsoup in the wrong way. Pass response.text, instead of the response object:
# page = urllib2.urlopen(url)
page = requests.get(url)
soup_page = BeautifulSoup(page.text, "lxml")
You may need to read requests documentation
I am working on a Python application in Python3.6 that I would like to convert into a standalone application that can be ported easily to other devices. I tried using py2app as in this tutorial.
Everything works well until I get to the point of actually creating the app. It does not throw any error in the creation process and creates the .app file, however, when I try to run it, A window pops up saying there is an error and gives me the options of terminating or opening the console. I tried opening the console but I cannot find any substantive information in the error messages.
These are the import statements that I have:
from urllib.request import urlopen, build_opener
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, SoupStrainer
import ssl
import urllib
import sys
import subprocess
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
import webbrowser
from unidecode import unidecode
As far as I know the only 2 packages that aren't standard with python are bs4 and unidecode. My setup.py file looks like this:
from setuptools import setup
APP = ['GUImain.py']
DATA_FILES = ['logo.png']
OPTIONS = {'argv_emulation': True,
'iconfile': 'logo.png',
'includes': ['undidecode','bs4']}
setup(
app=APP,
data_files=DATA_FILES,
options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
setup_requires=['py2app'],
)
I haven't seen any other errors like this one from any of my searching. I have seen some suggestion that py2app doesn't fully support Python3.6. Does anyone know how I can figure out what error is being thrown? Any suggestions on different tools to use and tutorials on how to use them?
I am using python mechanize to log in the social website https://www.pinterest.com/login/. I run into an error:
