<p>The Unix tee commmand, when used in a command pipeline, allows you to capture the output of the preceding command to a file or files, while still sending it on to standard output (stdout) for further processing via other commands in a pipeline, or to print it, etc.</p>
<p>This recipe shows how to implement simple tee-like functionality via a Python class. I do not aim to exactly replicate the functionality of the Unix tee, only something similar.</p>
<p>More details and sample output here:</p>

<p>This is a simple BASH, DASH and SH script to sooth a newborn baby to sleep for a laptop with a builtin mic. Develeoped around an Apple MacBook Pro.</p>
<p>Usage:- [./]shush.sh <time in seconds from 18 to 2700> [sensitivity [Hh|Mm|Ll]]<CR></p>
<p>If time is omitted it defaults to 2 bursts of 9 seconds each and if sensitivity is omitted defaults to [M]edium.</p>
<p>It uses Quicktime Player for Apple OSX 10.12.4 minimum /dev/dsp for CygWin and some Linux flavours and arecored for Linux ALSA machines for baby awake detector.</p>
<p>Upon the two arguments the white noise generator runs for approximately the time given in $1 in bursts of 9 seconds until the time limit is reached.
$2 is used to detect of baby is awake and reruns the noise generator again with a new noise waveform.</p>

<p>This is not a hexreader. This code creates a raw hexdump of a binary file that is whitespace, optional, delimited. The dump is saved into the current directory with a ".hex" extension.</p>
<p>It works on just about any current platform but is designed around a stock Amiga A1200(HD) with Python 1.4.0. It also works on the current stable version 3.5.2.</p>
<p>I needed a hexdump some years ago for banging the Amiga hardware, and decided to modify recently for another usage but it had to still work on version 1.4.0 for the classic A1200.</p>

<p>This recipe shows how to create a simple alarm clock in Python, that can be run from the command line in a terminal. It lets you specify the alarm time in minutes as a command line argument, and prints a wake-up message and beeps a few times, after that time arrives. You can use 0 for the minutes to test it immediately, including to adjust the volume using your speaker controls.</p>

</p>
<p>This recipe shows how to create a simple version of the Unix split command in Python. The split command splits an input file into multiple smaller files, the size of each of which is specified by a command-line argument giving the number of lines per file. This is useful for multiple purposes, such as editing large files in pieces, backing up files to small capacity storage devices, sending files across the network, etc.</p>

</p>
<p>This recipe shows how to create a Unix pipeline that generates PDF output, under the control of a Python program. It is tested on Linux. It uses nl, a standard Linux command that adds line numbers to its input, and selpg, a custom Linux command-line utility, that selects only specified pages from its input, together in a pipeline (nl | selpg). The Python program sets up and starts that pipeline running, and then reads input from it and generates PDF output.</p>

<p>This simple snippet of code generates a 1 second sinewave WAVE file.
It IS saved inside the CURRENT drawer so that you can find it... ;o)</p>
<p>This works on:-
Classic stock AMIGA A1200, using Python 1.4.0.
WinUAE and E-UAE, AmigaOS 3.0.x using Python 1.4.0 to 2.0.1.
Windows, to at least 7, using Python 2.0.1 to 3.3.2.
Various Linux flavours using Python 2.4.6 to 3.2.2.
Apple OSX 10.7.x and above using Python 2.5.6 to 3.4.1.</p>
<p>The file size is 8044 bytes and _IF_ you need to it can be palyed directly
without a player on some Linux flavours that have the /dev/dsp device.
It is an 8 bit, unsigned integer, mono, 8000Hz sampling speed 8000 byte
RAW file with the WAVE header added.</p>
<p>It will still work with PulseAudio and OSS using...</p>
<p>cat /full/path/to/beep.wav > /dev/dsp</p>
<p>...but with a momenatry click due to the 44 header bytes; but hey it is
a beep alternative...</p>

Next the Python terminal window is written to for the 5 seconds of delay; see code.
And finally the Title Bar is restored to normal...</p>

<pre class="prettyprint"><code> 68EC020 CPU and 2MB RAM total, example, a standard A1200(HD).
WinUAE Version 1.5.3 minimum.
Standard OS3.0x install or better.

Version 1.00.00:- Original upload to AMINET...</p>
<p>This is dedicated entirely to the AMIGA community and AMINET and will not
be uploaded elsewhere.</p>
<hr />
<p>To install just download the "BIG_TIME.py.txt" file and rename it to
"BIG_TIME.py" without the quotes. Drag this file into your AMIGA PYTHON:
volume and...</p>
<p>From a minimum of Python Version 1.4.0 prompt:-</p>

<p>And away you go...</p>
<p>This code is/was designed to work in all versions of Python from 1.4.0
to 3.3.2 on at least the platforms shown in the Architectures: section.</p>
<p>It was developed entirely on a Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.5 and finalised using
MEmacs for the AMIGA.</p>
<hr />
<p>This is just a simple DEMO to show how to generate large digits in Python
and put them to use as an _AT_A_GLANCE_ digital clock.</p>
<p>It starts up by generating all of the characters available for the DEMO
for five seconds then goes into the clock proper.</p>
<p>As this code is multi platform AND multi Python version then it is issued
as GPL2...</p>

<p>This code is a DEMO RF Attenuator for SW listeners.</p>
<p>(The code is to show how to generate the same waveform in each channel but in antiphase, as bridge output. The RF Attenuator is just a byproduct...)</p>
<p>The circuit has an insertion loss of about 10dB at full gain but that doesn't matter as it IS an attenuator after all.</p>
<p>It is another learning tool for kids to build and code for themselves.</p>
<p>The only common user I/O on desktops, netbooks, laptops and current MacBooks is/are the Audio Mic and Ear sockets...</p>
<p>This goes for "mobiles" too...</p>
<p>The circuit inside the code is so easy a 10 year old could have a working unit inisde 2 hours to experiment with...</p>
<p>PyAudio IS needed for this to work and although originally designed around a MacBook Pro 13 inch OSX 10.7.5 and Python 2.6.7 has shown itself to be near platform independent...</p>

A DEMO To Show How To Expand A Standard Python Terminal On The Fly... (Python)

</p>
<p>This code shows how to open up a default Terminal running Python to tha maximum allowed on the _desktop_. I decided on writing code to do a crude emulation of a Campimeter. Anyone who has worn spectacles for a long time has had this test done at the optician's. Originally written for a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5 but also tested on Debian Linux 6.0.x. READ the code for more information!!! This code WILL alter the size of the Terminal window AND changes the colours too, although it is very easy to return back to the default state it is NOT included in the code... I EXPECT professionals to know how to doo that.</p>
<p>Before running Python inside the Terminal ensure the Terminal window is at the uppermost left hand corner of your desktop...</p>
<p>I needed the maximised Python Terminal for something else but this was the easiest way to demonstrate ho to do it through Python...</p>
<p>Written so that kids can understand what is going on...</p>
