We are using Watson Conversation from Python. Our dialog has responses with variation texts, but we always receive the first one variation -that is the problem. The dialog does work well when you run it from Bluemix Converation Tooling.
def wd_conv_send_message(sTexto):
# Replace with the context obtained from the initial request
context = {}
workspace_id = conv_workspaceid
response = conversation.message(
workspace_id=workspace_id,
message_input={'text': sTexto},
context=context
)
# print(json.dumps(response, indent=2))
print(response['output']['text'][0])
Change:
response = conversation.message(
workspace_id=workspace_id,
message_input={'text': sTexto},
context=context
)
to:
response = conversation.message(
workspace_id=workspace_id,
message_input={'text': sTexto},
context=context
)
context = response['context']
Conversation is stateless. So you need to send back the context you received or it won't know where to continue on from.
It turned out to be a somewhat erratic behaviour from Watson Conversation side, combined with debugging: if you run/debug from Pycharm -either setting Sequential or Random- you get only the very first Variation several times (five or more). But if you run from Python interpreter command line, it seems to work fine. So, I guess -just speculative- it has to do with some timing issue when running from Pycharm.

I'm trying to send data to Google Forms directly (without and external service like IFTTT) using an esp8266 with micropython. I've already used IFTTT but at this point is not useful for me, i need a sampling rate of more or equal to 100 Hz and as you know this exceeds the IFTTT's usage limit. I've tried making a RAM buffer, but i got a error saying that the buffer exceded the RAM size (4 MB) so that's why im trying to do directly.
After trying some time i got it partially. I say "partially" because i have to do a random get-request after the post-request; i don't know why it works, but it works (in this way i can send data to Google Forms every second approximately, or maybe less). I guess the problem is that the esp8266 can't close the connection with Google Forms and it gets stuck when it tries to do a new post-request, if this were the problem, i don't know how to fix it in another way, any suggestions? The complete code is here:
ssid = 'my_network'
password = 'my_password'
import urequests
def do_connect():
import network
sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
if not sta_if.isconnected():
print('connecting to network...')
sta_if.active(True)
sta_if.connect(ssid, password)
while not sta_if.isconnected():
pass
print('network config:', sta_if.ifconfig())
def main():
do_connect()
print ("CONNECTED")
url = 'url_of_my_google_form'
form_data = 'entry.61639300=example' #have to change the entry
user_agent = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
while True:
response = urequests.post(url, data=form_data, headers=user_agent)
print ("DATA HAVE BEEN SENT")
response.close
print("TRYING TO SEND ANOTHER ONE...")
response = urequests.get("http://micropython.org/ks/test.html") #<------ RANDOM URL, I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS CODE WORKS CORRECTLY IN THIS WAY
print("RANDOM GET:")
print(response.text)
response.close
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Thank you for your time guys. Also i've tried with this code before but it DOESN'T WORK. Without the random get-request, it gets stuck after one or two times of posting:
while True:
response = urequests.post(url, data=form_data, headers=user_agent)
print ("DATA HAVE BEEN SENT")
response.close
print("TRYING TO SEND ANOTHER ONE...")
Shouldn't it be response.close() (with brackets)?.. 🤔,
Without brackets you access a (non existing) property close of the object response instead of calling the method close(), and do not really close the connection. This could lead to memory overflow.
So I've built a Telegram bot, which can receive the following commands:
/list
/info 123
This works great, as I can catch /info and pass the additional arguments as ints. But, sadly, the Telegram clients don't see /info 123 as a complete command, but just the /info part. Is there a way to make it recognize the entirety of the command as the command?
I've tried Markdown-ing it: [/info 123](/info 123), but no joy. Is this possible?
I've reached out to #BotSupport with the same question, and he/they/it responded swiftly with the following answer:
Hi, at the moment it is not possible to highlight parameters of a command. I any case, you may can find a workaround if you use correct custom keyboards ;)
— #BotSupport
Custom keyboards may be an option for someone, but not for me. The solution I've gone for is to give the command as /info123. As the bot receives all / commands, I check if the received command starts with info, and if so, I remove the info part. I convert the remaining string/int to arguments, and pass that along to the relevant command.
If you mean to pass the 123 as an argument for your command info and if you happen to use the python-telegram-bot, then here's how you do it:
dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler('hello', SayHello, pass_args=True))
According to the documentation: pass_args Determines whether the handler should be passed the arguments passed to the command as a keyword argument called args. It will contain a list of strings, which is the text following the command split on single or consecutive whitespace characters. Default is False.
you can use RegexHandler() to do this.
Here is an example
def info(bot, update):
id = update.message.text.replace('/info_', '')
update.message.reply_text(id, parse_mode='Markdown')
def main():
updater = Updater(TOKEN)
updater.dispatcher.add_handler(RegexHandler('^(/info_[\d]+)$', info))
updater.start_polling()
Usage
The command /info_120 will return 120
and /info_007 will return 007
UPDATE
for newer versions, you may use this method instead!
MessageHandler(filters.Regex(r'^(/info_[\d]+)$'), info)
To get the argument of command you don't even need to use pass_args as said Moein you can simply get it from context.args look at Github page. So you can pass as many arguments as you want and you will get a list of arguments! Here is an example from Github.
def start_callback(update, context):
user_says = " ".join(context.args)
update.message.reply_text("You said: " + user_says)
...
dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start_callback))
ForceReply
Upon receiving a message with this object, Telegram clients will display a reply interface to the user (act as if the user has selected the bot's message and tapped 'Reply'). This can be extremely useful if you want to create user-friendly step-by-step interfaces without having to sacrifice privacy mode.
a simple shot
In this case, a user should send a valid number with /audio command (e.g. /audio 3, if they forgot it, we can inform and force them to do so.

This is a fairly rudimentary way of creating kwargs from user input.
Unfortunately, it does require the user to be aware of the fields that can be used as parameters, but if you can provide informative response when the user doesnt provide any detectable kwarg style messages then you could probably make a better experience.
As I say, extremely rudimentary idea, and would probably be achieved faster with the regex filters available. And this would be much more reliable when checking input from the user of the "pesky" variety.
The script relies on || delimiter preceeding the command and as is shown will trim any extra characters like new lines and spaces
You can remove the extra check for commit as this is provided in order to tell the bot that you want to save your input to the database explicitly.
def parse_kwargs(update):
commit = False
kwargs = {}
if update.message:
for args in update.message.text.split('||')[1:]:
for kw_pair in args.split(','):
key, value = kw_pair.split('=')
if key.strip() != 'commit':
kwargs[key.strip()] = value.strip()
elif key.strip() == 'commit' and value.strip().lower() == 'true':
commit = True
return kwargs, commit
I have been building a Window Form desktop application using C# that interfaces with Asterisk using Asterisk.NET.
My first problem is catch a Incoming call and transfer it to specific exten.
The first my idea is using OriginateAction, when a call come, I use Dial event and catch it and use OriginateAction to call to a specific exten.
RedirectAction originateAction = new RedirectAction();
originateAction.Channel = e.Channel;
originateAction.Context = "default";
originateAction.Exten = "203";
originateAction.Priority = 1;
ManagerResponse originateResponse = manager.SendAction(originateAction);
Console.WriteLine(originateResponse);
But it not work like my wish.
The second my idea is using RedirectAction:
RedirectAction originateAction = new RedirectAction();
originateAction.Channel = e.Channel;
originateAction.Context = "default";
originateAction.Exten = "203";
originateAction.Priority = 1;
ManagerResponse originateResponse = manager.SendAction(originateAction);
Console.WriteLine(originateResponse);
And it not work.
I have find on many websites but the documents is very little.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks!
I would suggest using some kind of dynamic dialplan instead of "catching" calls reactively. Why not use an AGI script?
Essentially, your application tells a database or other central system what to do when calls matching certain criteria come in. Then Asterisk runs the script you setup when calls reach a certain context (such as all incoming calls), and then the script routes the call dynamically based on the inputs given by your application.
Since you seem to like .NET, here's a .NET AGI project to help you get started: AsterNET. It looks like the library you mentioned, Asterisk.NET, is also capable of Fast CGI (what AGI uses), but the last release was in 2009, whereas AsterNet is active as recently as 3 months ago.
I personally use phpAGI to do all kinds of neat ACD and call routing stuff in our call center.
For more info on AGI, see the official docs.
Edit:
I should probably also explain some basic call flow terminology (from the docs):
Originate: Generates an outgoing call to a Extension/Context/Priority or Application/Data. Example: User clicks a button, Originate a call to their desk phone, when they answer that call, it executes dialplan, or a dialplan application.
Redirect: Redirect (transfer) a call. Example: Agent and Customer are talking, but Manager wants to take over the call. Use Redirect to "take" the call from Agent and ring the Manager.
Dial: (in dialplan only, not AMI) Dial the technology/channel specified. Note that you can only Originate from your .NET application, not Dial.
Can you show your event handler code? It looks like that library would say something like manager.NewChannel += new ManagerEventHandler(new_channel);
I use twain 2.3 (TWAINDSM.DLL) in my application with HP Scanjet 200 TWAIN Protocol 1.9.
My TWAIIN calls are:
OpenDSM: DG_CONTROL, DAT_PARENT, MSG_OPENDSM
OpenDS: DG_CONTROL, DAT_IDENTITY, MSG_OPENDS
EnableDS: DG_CONTROL, DAT_USERINTERFACE, MSG_ENABLEDS
ProcessDeviceEvent: DG_CONTROL, DAT_EVENT, MSG_PROCESSEVENT
and as a result of the last call I allways get TWRC_NOTDSEVENT instead of TWRC_DSEVENT.
Could please someone help with this?
Once you use DG_CONTROL / DAT_EVENT / MSG_PROCESSEVENT, all messages from the applications message loop must be sent to the data source for processing. Receiving TWRC_NOTDSEVENT means the forwarded message isn't for the source so the application should process it as normal.
Keep forwarding all messages to the source until you receive MSG_XFERREADY which means there is data to transfer. Once the transfer is finished and you have sent MSG_DISABLEDS that's when you can stop forwarding messages to the source.
Twain is a standard, and when many company implement that standard, not all of them do the same way. Along the way to support Twain, we will learn and adjust the code to support all the different implementations.
I experienced this situation before, and this is my workaround:
Instead of placing (rc == TWRC_DSEVENT) at the beginning of code (will skip the following MSG_XFERREADY processing afterward) you can move the comparison to the end after MSG_XFERREADY processing, so that MSG_XFERREADY is always checked and processed.
(rc == TWRC_DSEVENT) is only to determine if we should forward the window message or not.
I don't know your specific situation. I ran into a similar issue because I called OpenDSM with a HWND/wId which is from another process. You should call OpenDSM with the HWND of
the active window/dialog which is owned by current process.
I have a project will load a HTTP page, parse it, and then open other pages based on the data it received from the first page.
Since Qt's QNetworkAccessManager works asyncronusly, it seems I should be able to load more than one page at a time by continuing to make HTTP requests, and then taking care of the response would happen in the order the replies come back and would be handled by the even loop.
I'm a having a few problems figuring out how to do this though:
First, I read somewhere on stackoverflow that you should use only one QNetworkAccess manager. I do not know if that is true.
The problem is that I'm connecting to the finished slot on the single QNetworkAccess manager. If I do more than one request at a time, I don't know what request the finished signal is in response to. I don't know if there is a way to inspect the QNetworkReply object that is passed from the signal to know what reply it is in response to? Or should I actually be using a different QNetworkAccessManager for each request?
Here is an example of how I'm chaining stuff together right now. But I know this won't work when I'm doing more than one request at at time:
from PyQt4 import QtCore,QtGui,QtNetwork
class Example(QtCore.QObject):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.QNetworkAccessManager_1 = QtNetwork.QNetworkAccessManager()
self.QNetworkCookieJar_1 = QtNetwork.QNetworkCookieJar()
self.QNetworkAccessManager_1.setCookieJar(self.QNetworkCookieJar_1)
self.app = QtGui.QApplication([])
def start_request(self):
QUrl_1 = QtCore.QUrl('https://erikbandersen.com/')
QNetworkRequest_1 = QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest(QUrl_1)
#
self.QNetworkAccessManager_1.finished.connect(self.someurl_finshed)
self.QNetworkAccessManager_1.get(QNetworkRequest_1)
def someurl_finshed(self, NetworkReply):
# I do this so that this function won't get called for a diffent request
# But it will only work if I'm doing one request at a time
self.QNetworkAccessManager_1.finished.disconnect(self.someurl_finshed)
page = bytes(NetworkReply.readAll())
# Do something with it
print(page)
QUrl_1 = QtCore.QUrl('https://erikbandersen.com/ipv6/')
QNetworkRequest_1 = QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest(QUrl_1)
#
self.QNetworkAccessManager_1.finished.connect(self.someurl2_finshed)
self.QNetworkAccessManager_1.get(QNetworkRequest_1)
def someurl2_finshed(self, NetworkReply):
page = bytes(NetworkReply.readAll())
# Do something with it
print(page)
kls = Example()
kls.start_request()
I am not familiar to PyQt but from general Qt programming point of view
Using only one QNetworkAccessManager is right design choice
finished signal provides QNetworkReply*, with that we can identify corresponding request using request().
I hope this will solve your problem with one manager and multiple requests.
This is a C++ example doing the same.
