getting text from webpage that has embedded flash

2009-07-06 Thread Oisin
HI,

Im trying to parse a bands myspace page and get the total number of
plays for their songs. e.g. http://www.myspace.com/mybloodyvalentine

The problem is that I cannot use urllib2 as the "Total plays" string
does not appear in the page source.

Any idea of ways around this?

Thanks,
O

Re: pypi mirror

Hi Sławek,

You could also do a local or private egg repository. I documented how I did
this for my internal projects here:
http://www.sourceweaver.com/posts/private-python-egg-repository

I hadn't come across z3c.pymirror before.

All the best,

Oisin

nozama-cloudsearch-service a local Amazon CloudSearch instance.

2013-09-04 Thread Oisin Mulvihill
Hello,

Have you ever wanted to test your app against a dev version of your
production CloudSearch? Is management saying budget constraints won't allow
this? Then Nozama CloudSearch is for you.

It is a light weight implementation of Amazon's CloudSearch service you can
run locally. Its has additional REST API features which allow inspection of
data in a way not available via Amazon CloudSearch.

It is BSD licensed and available now from pypi
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nozama-cloudsearch-service:

  easy_install nozama-cloudsearch-service

Or from source code checkout from github here:

 * https://github.com/oisinmulvihill/nozama-cloudsearch

It also has documentation which it self hosts or can be seen on readthedocs:

 * https://nozama-cloudsearch.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

I've implemented batch uploading and I'm working on search at present. I
thought I'd get this out early in case others are hitting against this. I'd
welcome contributions.

I don't intend this to be a replacement for Amazon CloudSearch. Its a
helper service I use it as part of a vagrant+puppet provisioned developer
environment. This emulates our production environment locally.

All the best,

Oisin

nozama-cloudsearch-service 1.1.2: a local Amazon CloudSearch using ElasticSearch as its backend.

data in a way not available via Amazon CloudSearch.

Nozama is also a way to migrate from Amazon CloudSearch to ElasticSearch.

Version 1.1.2

This now supports text searching and uses ElasticSearch as it backend.
Facets are not yet supported. I use MongoDB to store the results of batch
upload runs. This will change in future as I believe I can use
ElasticSearch for this too.

It is BSD licensed and available now from pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/
nozama-cloudsearch-service:

  easy_install nozama-cloudsearch-service

Contributions are always welcome. Just fork me on github:

 * https://github.com/oisinmulvihill/nozama-cloudsearch

It also has documentation which it self hosts or can be seen on readthedocs:

ann: servicestation - run your linux/mac services on windows without needing pywin...

2009-07-17 Thread Oisin Mulvihill

Hi There,

I gave a lightning talk about my ServiceStation project at Europython  
2009. While it
isn't written in Python (C++/Windows), I did write it with python in  
mind. Its

released under the CDDL license.

I'm hoping it will be of use to other Python users who will need to  
run their services
on windows, but don't want to learn much/anything about windows  
service programming.


The ServiceStation blurb is:

  ServiceStation allows you to run arbitrary programs as a
  service on the Windows platform. The program you wish to
  run does not need to be changed to allow it to work with
  ServiceStation or windows services.

  This project was developed with an eye to running Python web
  services on Windows, without the need to use and include Pywin32.
  This meant we could take services running on Linux/Mac and
  run them unmodified on Windows."

If your interested in this check out the projects trac page for docs  
and download

All the best,

Oisin

Hi There,

I have to admit I didn't come across srvany before. I may not have
used the right google fu the day I decided to do this ;) So maybe it
does all the following, however servicestation distingusihes itself
by:

 * Properly tracking all child processes launched by the command it
runs and closes them on stop/restart.

 * Monitoring the command its running and keeping it alive.

 * Allows you to set the description / name from the config file.

 * It logs useful information to the event viewer so you can see why
it couldn't run the command under its care.

 * Can interact with the desktop or not so you can run programs with a
gui but not actually see it.

 * Does not disconnect the service if you log-out as some runners do.

Thats all I can think of. I should probably add this to this wiki too,

Thanks for prompting me on this.

Oisin
