Python AsciiColor and video attributes (Python)

2014-07-24T04:25:53-07:00

Python recipe 578908 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (ascii, color, dynamic_method, metaprogramming, python). Revision 5.

This is a subclass of a standard str object that adds methods for applying color, and video attributes to text.

Simple curses based MySQL 'top' (Python)

2011-11-02T20:28:48-07:00

Python recipe 577936 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (curses, database, mysql, time). Revision 3.

This is little more than a modification of my previous recipe, however, I found it useful so I thought I would post it in the hopes that someone else would as well. There is color (BOLD white really) designation for 'Query' states vs others like 'Sleep'.

Dependency resolution (Python)

2016-04-14T12:58:40-07:00

Python recipe 580642 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (compare, dependency, sort, sorting).

This recipe shows how to take a list of objects, each with their own list of dependencies, and resolve them to proper order. It includes some poor mans circular dependency detection (very poor mans).

A Basic USe flag EDitor for Gentoo Linux supporting on-the-fly editing (Python)

2015-02-28T07:04:31-08:00

Python recipe 579028 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (parsing, popen, subprocess, user_input).

This allows for on-the-fly editing. Simply drop abused.py into your path, and ensure that -a is not set in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in /etc/portage/make.conf. Then whenver you are installing new packages, use abused in place of emerge (eg: abused multitail) you will be presented with a list of use flags that are used in this action, and a prompt for editing any of them, simply hit enter with no changes to fire off the build.

slurp.py (Regex based simple parsing engine) (Python)

2013-05-26T18:00:58-07:00

Python recipe 578532 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (parser, regex, text_processing).

A parsing engine that allows you to define sets of patterns and callbacks, and process any I/O object in Pyton that has a readline() method.

car.py (Ctypes ARchiver in PYthon [libarchive ffi wrapper]) (Python)

2013-05-28T04:02:15-07:00

Python recipe 578531 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (bzip2, cpio, ctypes, ffi, gzip, lzma, pax, python, tar). Revision 3.

CTypes libarchive wrapper, handles extraction only with no arguments.

rdd (mostly broken but shows how to do a few things in ruby) (Ruby)

2014-07-12T16:58:06-07:00

Ruby recipe 578034 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (dd, ftp, io, net_ftp, pipe, pipelining, popen, subprocess). Revision 3.

Meant to be a slightly more "advanced" dd utility. Supporting FTP/File/STDIN as input streams, and File/STDOUT/PIPE as output targets, and sporting a progress display (very rudimentary atm), add lets you combine network, and file or pipe processing in a single command. But kind of ended up a mess, see the Python version which is pretty clean.

Easy ansi color plus more. (Ruby)

2014-04-16T15:36:04-07:00

Ruby recipe 578018 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (ansi, clear, console, cursor, formatting, movement, output, ruby, screen, string, underline).

This quick class extends the base String class to add the ability to chain escape codes onto your output. For instance: puts 'String'.bold.underline.blink.red for something truly hideous. Aside from the colors (all are supported, but I haven't put in support for background colors as of the time of this post), cursor placement (ymmv based on the term type), screen clearing, bold, underline, blink reverse, conceal are all handled as well.

DistCC 'top' (Python)

2013-12-01T11:19:56-08:00

Python recipe 577933 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (color, curses, distcc, distributed, monitor, pack, struct, top, unpack). Revision 3.

A small recipe for a curses based, 'top'-like monitor for DistCC. I know there is already distccmon-text, but I don't like it, and much prefer this sytle of monitoring. Note that I don't keep hosts around in the list like distccmon-gui/gnome. The screen is drawn for exactly what is currently in state. The terminal size is respected at initialization time, however resize events aren't handled. There is color designation of job types.

Python Awesome DD (Python)

2014-07-12T07:29:59-07:00

Python recipe 578907 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (curses, dd, file, input, output, progress_bar). Revision 3.

Imagine if the *nix utilities 'dd', 'wget', and 'pv' had a baby. That baby would be named 'padd'. A 'dd' replacement (most commonly used options translate with no problem), that gives progress output like 'pv' and supports (currently) http(s) and ftp input sources, with more planned (sftp for one). Output support for ftp, sftp, and http(s) is also planned.

lndir.py (short python version of the BSD/X11 lndir utility) (Python)

2013-05-28T07:21:28-07:00

Python recipe 578535 by Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin (directories, files, os_walk, sysadmin, walk). Revision 2.

This should be valid for Python 2.6 and up, including the 3.x series.
