Script Request...

2008-03-19 Thread some one
Hi all, I am not to familiar with python yet and I am wondering if 
someone can write a script that will monitor my DSL modems IP address 
and notify when it changes, its a 2Wire Advanced DSL Modem.  I need to 
know when it changes because I am trying to run my own inhouse server 
and have to update my domain records through verio.com.

The script would need to read the text of a web page( on my modem the 
address is http://192.168.0.1/xslt?PAGE=B01&THISPAGE=&NEXTPAGE=B01 ) and 
search for a string containing the IP address.

Can anyone help?
thanks, I'll keep monitoring this thread.

Thanks Diez, I found some docs and examples on urllib2.  Now how do i 
search the string I get from urllib2, lets say I put it in "myURL", How 
do I search for only Numbers and ".'s" in the "#.#.#.#" pattern.  That 
is all I am interested in with all the data retrieved.  Just the IP 
Address from amongst a bunch of data that I have no use of currently.

I would I write a pattern matching function to extract only the IP 
address from "myURL"?

What is The Eric4 IDE???

2008-03-20 Thread some one
I wanted to ask some opinions on the Eric4 Python IDE, It was the second 
result from google using the search term "Python IDE" (Quotes Included 
in the search), the first being 
http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments !

I haven't downloaded or installed it yet, since it has the prerequisites 
of:

1) Python 2.4.0 or better http://www.python.org/download/
2) Qt 4.2.0 or better (from Trolltech)  
http://trolltech.com/solutions/solutions-opensource
3) PyQt 4.1.0 or better (from Riverbank)  
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/index.php
4) QScintilla 2.1 or better (from Riverbank)
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/qscintilla/index.php

I see on the Eric4 website ( http://www.die-offenbachs.de/eric/eric4-
download.html ) that it is also a commercial product for those not 
working with OpenSource, so I hope it's safe to assume that it's a good 
product to use for working with Python.

I'd like some other opinions about it before I download and install all 
the prerequisites.  They probably require their own specific 
configurations.

Is there an OpenSource bundle with all the prerequisites for a smoother 
install?

Is there a specific order to install the prerequisites?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
