Re: [Tutor] Pinging a service
Greg Lindstrom wrote: Hello, I would like to write a routine to monitor services running on a remote box. My initial thought is to "ping" the remote box to monitor latency and then execute a query on the remote machine to monitor the database. What I would like is to gather data points and graph the delay to see if there are any patterns; A) Is this a sound strategy? B) Are there libraries for the "ping"ing aspect? If not, I can execute the ping using "command"...how can I capture the screen output to get the times? Pinging is actually a more complex beast than you might imagine. If you know what ports the services are running on, or at least if you know one service a box *should* be running, you could do worse than to attempt a socket connection to that port number. For example, seeing if a (not desperately secured) Windows box is up is a question of attempting a connection on port 445. Likewise, seeing if a web server (box) is running, you can try port 80. etc. TJG ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] Dictionary within a dictionary
Hi,
Following Alan's post, what I was trying to do is to understand how I
can return the sub-item within the same space, if it makes sense ;)
For example, in my 3 one-to-many lists, I want to generate this list:
[{'id': ,
'category': [{'id': ,
'sub-category': [ {'id': ,
'title': ,
'is_selected':
}
...]
'title': ,
'is_selected':
}
...]
'title': ,
'is_selected': ,
}
...]
Reason for this is that I want to create a navigational menu for a web
template so that when you click on group_id the value is sent and this
pulls the 'categories' and when you click on the category then the sub-
categories are listed.
Thanks
David

[Tutor] ooffice UNO to generate automatic powerpoint presentations
Hi, I want to be able to generate Windows powerpoint presentations by throwing text and images into a directory and running a Python script. I've seen some win32 modules online that manipulate powerpoint using COM but are not quite what I am looking for. Examples I've found http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2006-March/004380.html http://www.activeinterface.com/b2003_4_12.html http://www.robertgsmith.com/2006/03/tech-tools-just-for-realtors-powerpoint-creation-script-for-cmabuyer-tour-etc.aspx Ideally, a file containing name=value pairs or XML would add title, text, and images. Has anyone done this with openoffice UNO? Thanks for your comments, Mark ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] ooffice UNO to generate automatic powerpoint presentations
Quicktime's Com API does something similar to this. But nothing with PPT files, no. --Michael On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 10:28 AM, Mark Alexiuk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, >I want to be able to generate Windows powerpoint presentations by > throwing >text and images into a directory and running a Python script.

It could be, especially if you are about to write a bunch of
functions to access those structures. But equally if the
structures accurately reflect the problem and acess does
not require any complex processing then I'm happy to use
the structures.
In a case like this I'd still tend to move to a database rather
than an OOP solution, although I might use classes to hold
the returned data.
I'm still not clear why the OP wants to hold the data in
memory.

Re: [Tutor] python gui
Hi, Gabriela! that interesting dashboard can be done. At least you can divide your main window into several subwindows and do what you what you want. Each subwindows would have a dropdownlist to redefine another sub-subwindow inside of it. Tabs are also available in several windowing toolkits for Python. In wxPython you can have a panel and put your subwindows inside of it: http://wxpython.org Another alternative is pyGTK.

That sounds like the best plan.

I don't know either. Maybe s/he wants to use shelve or something; maybe
s/he has not yet learned classes and databases.
So thank you for the reality check.
