Give Python code a web plus command-line interface with hug (Python)

2017-01-05T16:57:15-08:00

Python recipe 580742 by Vasudev Ram (cli, commandline, hug, library, python, python3, user_interface, web, web_server).

This recipe shows how to take a Python function and wrap it with both a web and a command-line interface, somewhat easily, using the hug Python library. The example used shows how to wrap a function that uses the psutil library to get information on disk partitions. So you can see the disk partition info either via the web browser or the command line. The code for the recipe is shown below. It is also possible to wrap multiple functions in the same Python file, and expose all of them via both the web and the command-line.

More information and multiple sample outputs are available here:

Search for oranges with the wikipedia Python library (Python)

2015-11-03T18:52:55-08:00

Python recipe 579121 by Vasudev Ram (api, library, python, retrieving, web, wikipedia).

The wikipedia Python library (available on PyPI) is a wrapper for the official Wikipedia API. The library is higher level and easier to use than the API, though for limited functionality of the API. It can be used to easily do basic access of Wikipedia pages, which could be useful for many educational, reference and other purposes. This recipe shows the basic use of the wikipedia library, by using it to search for information about oranges.

GAE User Session with HTTP Basic Authentication (Python)

Python recipe 577235 by Berend (appengine, appspot, authentication, clients, gae, google, python, sessions, web, wsgi). Revision 6.

HTTP Basic is an unsecure but easy to implement authentication protocol. I think its good enough for a simple client in front of an SSL capable server. Google App-Engine supports SSL, and here is a recipe to set up the user-session using HTTP Basic.

Method-based URL dispatcher for the Tornado web server (Python)

2009-11-20T11:51:47-08:00

Python recipe 576958 by Dan McDougall (dispatcher, shortcuts, subclass, tornado, url, web). Revision 5.

The MethodDispatcher is a subclass of tornado.web.RequestHandler that will use the methods contained in subclasses of MethodDispatcher to handle requests. In other words, instead of having to make a new RequestHandler class for every URL in your application you can subclass MethodDispatcher and use the methods contained therein as your URLs.

The MethodDispatcher also adds the convenience of automatically passing arguments to your class methods. So there is no need to use Tornado's get_argument() method.

Example

To demonstrate the advantages of using MethodDispatcher I'll present a standard Tornado app with multiple URLs and re-write it using MethodDispatcher...

The standard Tornado way

class Foo(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write('foo')

class Bar(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.write('bar')

class SimonSays(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        say = self.get_argument("say")
        self.write('Simon says, %s' % `say`)

application = tornado.web.Application([
    (r"/foo", Foo),
    (r"/bar", Bar),
    (r"/simonsays", SimonSays),
])

The MethodDispatcher way

class FooBar(MethodDispatcher):
    def foo(self):
        self.write("foo")

    def bar(self):
        self.write("bar")

    def simonsays(self, say):
        self.write("Simon Says, %s" % `say`)

application = tornado.web.Application([
    (r"/.*", FooBar)
])

Notes

As you can see from the above example, using the MethodDispatcher can significantly reduce the complexity of Tornado applications. Here's some other things to keep in mind when using the MethodDispatcher:

MethodDispatcher will ignore any methods that begin with an underscore (_). This prevents builtins and private methods from being exposed to the web.
The '/' path is special: It always maps to self.index().
MethodDispatcher does not require that your methods distinquish between GET and POST requests. Whether a GET or POST is performed the matching method will be called with any passed arguments or POSTed data. Because of the way this works you should not use get() and post() in your MethodDispatcher subclasses unless you want to override this functionality.
When an argument is passed with a single value (/simonsays?say=hello) the value passed to the argument will be de-listed. In other words, it will be passed to your method like so: {'say': 'hello'}. This overrides the default Tornado behavior which would return the value as a list: {'say': ['hello']}. If more than one value is passed MethodDispatcher will use the default behavior.

Simple Web Crawler (Python)

2011-01-31T21:57:58-08:00

Python recipe 576551 by James Mills (crawler, network, parsing, web). Revision 2.

NOTE: This recipe has been updated with suggested improvements since the last revision.

This is a simple web crawler I wrote to test websites and links. It will traverse all links found to any given depth.

See --help for usage.

I'm posting this recipe as this kind of problem has been asked on the Python Mailing List a number of times... I thought I'd share my simple little implementation based on the standard library and BeautifulSoup.

Creating beautiful urls from user generated text (Python)

2008-09-21T07:22:06-07:00

Python recipe 576511 by Mark Zitnik (beautiful, url, web). Revision 3.

Most of the web sites that work with user generated content use the text that was entered by the user as the url for this specific item and usually the user enter charates like ' '(space) '&', '.' and some other char that you want to remove or convert to _ , _and_ , _dot_. So i have wrote a dynamic code that you can setup what chars you what to change.
