How to get a place's longitude and latitude?
Hi guys I want to make a program that kinda sends an sos message with the measures of longitude and latitude (which is super inconvenient) to someone. How can I do that I mean how can I get the longitude and latitude? Any help would be appreciated. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You might use webscraping with requests and beautiful soup to scrape up some website for that gives such utility On Mon, 24 Feb 2020, 9:36 pm Souvik Dutta Hi guys I want to make a program that kinda sends an sos message with the > measures of longitude and latitude (which is super inconvenient) to > someone.

Are you building a desktop app? A phone app? Is it something that runs via a web browser? What sort of platform are you using, and are you okay with requiring the user to do some configuration beforehand in order to have an easy one-click "send help now"?

Ever heard of QPython? It has a sl4a Api http://edu.qpython.org/qsl4a-develop/index.html?form=web You can pull in GPS coordinates!

time.localtime add a parameter for timezone
How about adding a time zone parameter to time.localtime? A offset just like the form: ± hh[:mm[:ss]]. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Try something like import requests import json url = "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=city+country&format=json&l imit=1" result = requests.get(url) dataobj = result.json() x = dataobj[0]['lat'] + "," + dataobj[0]['lon'] print(x) -Original Message- From: Python-list On Behalf Of Aakash Jana Sent: Monday, February 24, 2020 11:08 AM To: Souvik Dutta Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: How to get a place's longitude and latitude?

Why should this be necessary? `localtime` returns the time in the "local timezone" -- and the "local timezone" usually does not change between different calls to `localtime`. Thus, it is best not to pass the timezone to each call to `localtime` but use environment information. If your "local timezone" does change frequently, you have (at least) the following options: * use `time.tzset` to reset the internal variables used by `localtime` from the envvar `TZ` (which your have appropriately set earlier) * use `time.time` (instead of `time.localtime`) and add the offset yourself. `time.time` returns the UTC time. -- Dieter -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It can if your calls to localtime() happen either side of a daylight saving time switch. That said, I agree that the timezone doesn't really belong in the output of localtime(). There are a very few occasions when you want it, but more often you should be working in UTC not local time. -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Tkinter layout designer
Can anyone recommend a graphic layout designer for Tkinter programs. I have a number of older C# Windows Forms apps that need porting so they can run on Linux and Windows and this is the chance to re-write them in Python. However, after using the forms designer in Visual Studio, manually coding up the widget positions etc. is a real pain in the backside. So please, recommendations for a designer that is usable and functional please to save me working through everything a Google search throws up.

There is an outdated designer for Tk called Visual Tcl, but it can generate only Tcl code, not TkInter, and uses only old-style widgets.

If you want a designer, use QT, which brings the Qt Designer. Be careful though - if you misuse them, you can end up with inflexible GUIs, where changes in the font or display resolution can mess up your interface.
