Re: How to detect if a file is executable on Windows?
Well, I used to know the answer to this question but I haven't done this kind of thing since 2009, so hopefully what I suggest is not out of date, so for everything I say here assume I put provisos in like it used to be or whatever. Anyway if the type of a file is executable , for example a file with extension .xyz, is determined by the registry in windows read here and google onward https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/app-registration#finding-an-application-executable As I recall somewhere in PyWin32 http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/contents.html there was a method to find out if an individual file was an executable. Hope it helps, because that means I still have some usable knowledge in that area!

intercepting keypresses, mouse movements, joystick movements.
Hi, I've been looking at autohotkey to do some different usability hacks for windows http://www.autohotkey.com/ one of the benefits of this language is it allows one to catch keyboard usage, joystick usage, and mouse usage inputs very easily at a global level or at application levels by watching applications for events within the applications. I was wondering if there were any python libraries that provided similar functionality before I went ahead with the project though.

According to Answers.com it derives from a word for money given to Roman soldiers for buying salt, hence salary is pertaining to salt. > Concepts changes. As was noted in my original statement the weak form of irony such as understood by Danes and I suppose by Americans as well, since that is what Steve was originally complaining about, is descended from the concept of Dramatic Irony. If you do a dictionary lookup of irony dramatic irony will probably be mentioned, also such more antiquated usages as Socratic irony. These other concepts of irony have not changed. You can use the word irony in a technical manner to someone in the dramatic arts and have the usage understood. The weak form of irony, verbal irony, is a pretty recent addition to the concept of irony. To take a wikipedia discussion of the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony let's quote: "Verbal irony is traditionally defined as the use of words to convey something other than, and especially the opposite of the literal meaning of the words. One classic example is a speaker saying, "What lovely weather we are having!" as she looks out at a rainstorm intending to express her dissatisfaction with the weather." I believe this answers to the concept of irony as used by Danes (especially given the example of the weather comment above which I hear similar comments all the time.) Given the wikipedia article and Steve Holden's description of Americans as being clueless about irony for usages that you seem to find correct I suppose that Americans are no more clueless or less apt to understand Danish irony than Danes are. However, having been exposed to Danish irony quite a bit I have to say that in my case I understand it fine but it bores me, therefore when a Dane tells me that Americans don't understand Danish irony I always secretly think they probably wonder why looking out at a rainstorm and saying "What lovely weather we are having" should be considered as a particularly inspired use of the verbal ironical form. Also although I am not an american I am often mistaken for one by Danes and when someone says 'What lovely weather we are having' (or similar) I will tend to be rather ironical myself and pretend not to have understood their comment as being ironical. And then they will try to explain irony to me with very long and drawn out explanations. Fun stuff. > > Nowadays the use of the word irony has degenerated to by > > pretty much synonymous with sarcasm. > > As a Dane that is a Chronic Ironic, I beg to differ. > > In Denmark at least there is a lot of difference between irony and > sarcasm. Irony is the main form of humor here, and danes takes to it > easily. People being sarcastic we don't much like. > > But I guess that it can be hard to se the difference for someone not > used to irony. Yes, just what I was going to say. I suppose that you will admit that the Danish Ironisk has the same history as the English Irony, of course as the above mentioned Wikipedia article mentions "Irony often requires a cultural backdrop to be understood or noticed, and as with any culture-specific idiom, irony often cannot be perfectly transplanted. " If you do so agree then, as opposed to your example of 'salary', the current meaning of irony being predominantly used to convey Verbal irony is rather recent. I may very well be missing some sort of meta-irony in someone saying "What wonderful weather we're having" when its pouring in København's Rådhusplads, as in a sort of self-ironical stance consisting of an implicit statement of "what an idiot I must be for thinking it worthwhile to comment ironically on the weather when everyone else today has said the same damn thing. " but I don't know. The main point is, I think, that verbal irony is understood as a meaning for irony between various cultures and is not a unique invention of the Danes, for unique linguistically defined concepts I think Denmark's best strategy is still to push 'hygge'. Now again, it may be somewhat old time fuddy-duddyism on my part to insist on a stronger form of the word irony than verbal irony. I am personally ready to use all the definitions of ironical forms discussed in the Wikipedia article because they are technically precise words and concepts for which we do not have words and concepts other than them.

checking for when a file or folder exists, typing problems?
Hi
I have a little program that is importing from os.path import exists, join,
isdir, normpath, isfile
at one point in my program I check if a file exists using
if exists("c:\projects"):
and that works fine.
If I change it to be
if exists(thepath):
where thepath is a commandline argument it does not work fine.
Note that the commandline is c:\projects and when I print thepath to check what
is going on it prints
c:\projects
The only thing I can assume is that there is some sort of typing problem going
on here, but then it should go ahead and give an error then if it's getting
something unexpected obviously.
Any help on what this error is?
Thanks

Re: service for file monitoring
use WMI event monitoring objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393864.aspx , then pass the event and the file starting the event to your application via the command line, what I tend to do (so I keep one monitor running that starts applications at event occurrence) drawback but also a strength, the application cannot know for sure that the event has actually happened - this is a possible strength because then you can have other applications that redefine the occasion of the event on a file just by starting your application for handling that event and passing it a file asserted as having been the object receiving the event (probably too loosely coupled for lots of people or scenarios though, if this can be a security problem for your application have to protect against it etc. ) if you absolutely need monitoring and application tightly coupled then use Python and WMI to do it, using the same method. http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen On 4/21/07, "Martin v.

refactoring question
Hi, I'm doing a sort of symbolic linking app in Windows for my own
enjoyment, and figured I would do it in python for the same reason +
learning the language.
The following functions could obviously do with some refactoring. One
obvious thing would be to make wordsetter and wordsforfolder more
generic, and just pass a few extra parameters. But that seems sort of
stupid.
Any suggestions on refactoring here? other improvements?
def getwordslist(word):
thisword = wordpath + word + ".xml"
if exists(thisword):
doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(thisword)
loc = doc.childNodes[0]
for i in range(0, len(loc.childNodes)):
if (loc.childNodes[i].firstChild.data == thispath):
break
else:
wordsetter(thisword,doc,loc)
else :
doc = xml.dom.minidom.Document()
loc = doc.createElementNS("", "locations")
doc.appendChild(loc)
wordsetter(thisword,doc,loc)
return None
def getfolderwords(word):
if exists(normpath(folderwords)):
doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(folderwords)
loc = doc.childNodes[0]
wordsforfolder(word,doc,loc)
else :
doc = xml.dom.minidom.Document()
loc = doc.createElementNS("", "wordlist")
doc.appendChild(loc)
xml.dom.ext.PrettyPrint(doc, open(normpath(folderwords), "w"))
wordsforfolder(word,doc,loc)
return None
def wordsetter(word,doc,loc):
thisloc = doc.createElementNS("", "location")
xexpr= "//location[.='" + thispath + "']"
xp = Evaluate(xexpr,doc.documentElement)
if len(xp) < 1:
loc.appendChild(thisloc)
text = doc.createTextNode(thispath)
thisloc.appendChild(text)
fi = open(word, "w")
fi.write(doc.toxml())
def wordsforfolder(word,doc,loc):
thisloc = doc.createElementNS("", "word")
xexpr= "//word[.='" + word + "']"
xp = Evaluate(xexpr,doc.documentElement)
if len(xp) < 1:
loc.appendChild(thisloc)
text = doc.createTextNode(word)
thisloc.appendChild(text)
fi = open(folderwords, "w")
fi.write(doc.toxml())

Re: SOAP access to SharePoint
It's usually not a totally mind destroying process if you hand craft your SOAP messages going off of examples from the service (if you're lucky enough they have ones) and reading their XML Schemas/WSDLs to see what they actually expect. Since it's MS do tests on your hand rolled xml with Microsoft XML Schema validation, this may seem tedious but it is likely to be less tedious than relying on any APIs to agree in the wide wonderful world of Soap based WebServices.

c.Win32_OperatingSystem question.
Maybe there's a more specific list I should ask this question on but I
don't know what it is. I'm using Tim Golden's wmi stuff, and putting
my output into an XML document.
I have the following bit of code
root = et.Element("locations")
ComputerInfo = et.SubElement(root, "ComputerInfo")
ComputerName = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"ComputerName")
ComputerDomain = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"Domain")
location = et.SubElement(root, "location")
locationpath = et.SubElement(location, "locationpath")
locationtype = et.SubElement(location, "locationtype")
currenttime = et.SubElement(location,"time")
currenttimeZone = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"timeZone")
BootDevice = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"BootDevice")
BuildNumber = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"BuildNumber")
BuildType = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"BuildType")
Caption = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"Caption")
CodeSet = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"CodeSet")
CountryCode = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"CountryCode")
Description = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"ComputerDescription")
FreePhysicalMemory = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"FreeMemory")
LocalDateTime = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"LocalDateTime")
Locale = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"Locale")
Manufacturer = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"Manufacturer")
Organization = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"ComputerOrganization")
OSType = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"OperatingSystem")
WindowsDirectory = et.SubElement(ComputerInfo,"WindowsDirectory")
# print "ok"
# time.sleep(3)
for oper in c.Win32_OperatingSystem():
# print "here"
# time.sleep(3)
ComputerName.text = str(oper.Name)
ComputerDomain.text = str(oper.Domain)
currenttimeZone.text = str(oper.CurrentTimeZone)
try:
currenttime.text = str(datetime.datetime.utcnow())
BootDevice.text = str(oper.BootDevice)
BuildNumber = et.SubElement(oper.BuildNumber)
BuildType.text = str(oper.BuildType)
Caption.text = str(oper.Caption)
CodeSet.text = str(oper.CodeSet)
CountryCode.text = str(oper.CountryCode)
Description.text = str(oper.ComputerDescription)
FreePhysicalMemory.text = str(oper.FreeMemory)
LocalDateTime.text = str(oper.LocalDateTime)
Locale.text = str(oper.Locale)
Manufacturer.text = str(oper.Manufacturer)
Organization.text = str(oper.ComputerOrganization)
OSType.text = str(oper.OperatingSystem)
WindowsDirectory.text = str(oper.WindowsDirectory)
At the end of that thhe only text node thaht comes out is
ComputerName, WMI is running - Am I using the wrong names for things
here? When I try to get the same values using WScript and WQL to
extract from Win32_OperatingSystem I get all the values.

Re: c.Win32_OperatingSystem question.
oh I noticed the problem with the
BuildNumber = et.SubElement(oper.BuildNumber)
instead of
BuildNumber = str(oper.BuildNumber)
and fixed it. No improvement in results however.

Re: c.Win32_OperatingSystem question.
Hi, well coming back to the project and looking over it I realized I had somehow messed up the names for some Win32 Operating System properties - for example ComputerOrganization instead of Organization. Not sure where I got the values from cause I've just be copying the properties I want from scriptomatic output.

Re: convert xhtml back to html
I'll second the recommendation to use xsl-t, set the output to html. The code for an XSL-T to do it would be basically: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> you would probably want to do other stuff than just copy it out but that's another case. Also, from my recollection the solution in CHM to make XHTML br elements behave correctly was as opposed to , at any rate I've done projects generating CHM and my output markup was well formed XML at all occasions.

Re: convert xhtml back to html
wow, that's pretty nice there.
Just to know: what's the performance like on XML instances of 1 GB?
