Position The Cursor Almost Anywhere Inside Standard Text Mode Python Terminal. (Python)

2012-06-17T17:10:29-07:00

Python recipe 578167 by Barry Walker (amiga, apple, cursor, demo, e_uae, linux, locate, macbook_pro, winuae).

A DEMO showing the power of the ANSI (ASCII) _Esc_ codes in standard text mode Python.

ANSI _Esc_ codes here:- http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm

There are only three important things from the ANSI _Esc_ codes that are needed to obtain a neat finish to a program written in standard text mode Python:-

1) Clearing the screen. (Already done without the dedicated ANSI _Esc_ code!)

2) Colours and other character attributes. (Already done!)

3) A forced printing of a character or string from a given location inside the Terminal window.

To clear the screen does NOT require another dedicated ANSI _Esc_ code, (although it exists). This code uses the print("\r\n") method which works in all cases coupled with the one function supplied......

For The Classic AMIGA, E-UAE, WinUAE and Linux using Python(s) 1.4.0 to Python 3.2.2. Read the code for more information...

Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems...

Dropbox file uploader via web interface using Python with urllib2 and mechanize (Python)

2016-04-28T13:21:43-07:00

Python recipe 578030 by ccpizza (dropbox, mechanize). Revision 7.

UPDATE: This is script is not maintained and does not anymore with the current version of Dropbox. For a proper command line interface to dropbox I recommend dropbox_uploader: https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader

Originally inspired by the example at http://joncraton.org/blog/62/uploading-dropbox-python.

The script uses mechanize to logon to the web page and upload the file(s) to the Dropbox root folder or to the folder supplied on the command line as dir:/my_dropbox_path (if present, this must be the first parameter).

Multiple files and/or glob patterns names are accepted as script arguments.

Example usage

dropbox.py file1.txt                       # upload to root folder
dropbox.py dir:/Backups/2012 file1.txt     # upload to custom folder
dropbox.py dir:/Backups/2012 *.txt         # upload by file mask
dropbox.py dir:/Backups/2020 *             # upload all files in current dir

Limitations: only files in current folder are processed, subfolders are ignored.

NOTE

The script requires the mechanize module - use pip install mechanize or easy_install mechanize to add it to your site-packages.

NOTE2

I have found a cleaner way to manage dropbox files from the console - see the dropbox-uploader script at https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader - it is a Bash script that works using the official Dropbox API rather than emulating a web browser.
