Using Python for .NET the clr python module - part 001 .

Python for .NET is available as a source release and as a Windows installer for various versions of Python and the common language runtime from the Python for the .NET website.
Let's install it under Windows 10.

Now I will show you how to use form and buttons.
First, you need to run the python code into python script files.
The first example is simple:

import clr

clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")

from System.Windows.Forms import Application, Form

class IForm(Form):

    def __init__(self):
        self.Text = 'Simple'
        self.Width = 640
        self.Height = 480
        self.CenterToScreen()

Application.Run(IForm())

The next example comes with one button and tooltips for form and button:

import clr

clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
clr.AddReference("System.Drawing")

from System.Windows.Forms import Application, Form
from System.Windows.Forms import Button, ToolTip
from System.Drawing import Point, Size

class IForm(Form):

    def __init__(self):
        self.Text = 'Tooltips'
        self.CenterToScreen()
        self.Size = Size(640, 480)

        tooltip = ToolTip()
        tooltip.SetToolTip(self, "This is a Form")

        button = Button()
        button.Parent = self
        button.Text = "Button"
        button.Location = Point(50, 70)

        tooltip.SetToolTip(button, "This is a Button")


Application.Run(IForm())

This is the result of this python script.

Another example is how to see the interfaces that are part of a .NET assembly:

>>> import System.Collections
>>> interfaces = [entry for entry in dir(System.Collections)
... if entry.startswith('I')]
>>> for entry in interfaces:
...   print entry
...

OpenGL and OpenCV with python 2.7 - part 005.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to mount OpenCV in the Windows 10 operating system with any python version.
You can use the same steps for other versions of python.
Get the wheel binary package opencv_python-3.2.0.7-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl from here.

C:\Python27>

C:\Python27>cd Scripts

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install opencv_python-3.2.0.7-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

Let's test it with default source code:

>>> import cv2
>>> dir(cv2)
['', 'ACCESS_FAST', 'ACCESS_MASK', 'ACCESS_READ', 'ACCESS_RW', 'ACCESS_WRITE', 
'ADAPTIVE_THRESH_GAUSSIAN_C', 'ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C', 'AGAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_AGAST_5_8',

 'AGAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_NONMAX_SUPPRESSION', 'AGAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_OAST_9_16',
...

Now we can test this python script example with PyQt4 python module and cv2.resize function very easy.
The example loads an image with PyQt4 python module.

from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QImage, QPixmap, QLabel, QPushButton, QFileDialog
import cv2
import sys
app = QApplication([])
window = QWidget()
layout = QVBoxLayout(window)
window.setLayout(layout)
display = QLabel()
width = 600
height = 400
display.setMinimumSize(width, height)
layout.addWidget(display)
button = QPushButton('Load', window)
layout.addWidget(button)

def read_image():
    path = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(window)
    if path:
        print str(path)
        picture = cv2.imread(str(path))
        if picture is not None:
            print width, height
            picture = cv2.resize(picture, (width, height))
            image = QImage(picture.tobytes(),  # The content of the image
                           picture.shape[1],  # The width (number of columns)
                           picture.shape[0],  # The height (number of rows)
                           QImage.Format_RGB888)  # The image is stored in 3*8-bit format
            display.setPixmap(QPixmap.fromImage(image.rgbSwapped()))
        else:
            display.setPixmap(QPixmap())

button.clicked.connect(read_image)
window.show()

app.exec_()

See the result for this python script:

Make one executable from a python script.

The official website of this tool tells us:
PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python interpreter or any modules. PyInstaller supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+, and correctly bundles the major Python packages such as numpy, PyQt, Django, wxPython, and others.

PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, it is not a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in Windows; to make a Linux app you run it in Linux, etc. PyInstaller has been used successfully with AIX, Solaris, and FreeBSD, but is not tested against them.
The manual of this tool can see it here.

Also, this will install the PyWin32 python module.
Let's make one test python script and then to make it executable.
I used this python script to test it:

from tkinter import Tk, Label, Button

class MyFirstGUI:
    def __init__(self, master):
        self.master = master
        master.title("A simple GUI")

        self.label = Label(master, text="This is our first GUI!")
        self.label.pack()

        self.greet_button = Button(master, text="Greet", command=self.greet)
        self.greet_button.pack()

        self.close_button = Button(master, text="Close", command=master.quit)
        self.close_button.pack()

    def greet(self):
        print("Greetings!")

root = Tk()
my_gui = MyFirstGUI(root)
root.mainloop()

The output of the command of pyinstaller:

Then I run the executable output:

...and working well.

The output file come with this icon:

Also, you can make changes by using your icons or set the type of this file, according to VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure.
You need to have the icon file and/or version.txt file for VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure.
Let's see the version.txt file:

# UTF-8
#
# For more details about fixed file info 'ffi' see:
# http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646997.aspx
VSVersionInfo(
  ffi=FixedFileInfo(
    # filevers and prodvers should be always a tuple with four items: (1, 2, 3, 4)
    # Set not needed items to zero 0.
    filevers=(2017, 1, 1, 1),
    prodvers=(1, 1, 1, 1),
    # Contains a bitmask that specifies the valid bits 'flags'
    mask=0x3f,
    # Contains a bitmask that specifies the Boolean attributes of the file.
    flags=0x0,

    OS=0x4,
    # The general type of file.

    fileType=0x1,
    # The function of the file.
    # 0x0 - the function is not defined for this fileType
    subtype=0x0,
    # Creation date and time stamp.
    date=(0, 0)
    ),
  kids=[
    StringFileInfo(
      [
      StringTable(
        u'040904b0',
        [StringStruct(u'CompanyName', u'python-catalin'),
        StringStruct(u'ProductName', u'test'),
        StringStruct(u'ProductVersion', u'1, 1, 1, 1'),
        StringStruct(u'InternalName', u'tk_app'),
        StringStruct(u'OriginalFilename', u'tk_app.exe'),
        StringStruct(u'FileVersion', u'2017, 1, 1, 1'),
        StringStruct(u'FileDescription', u'test tk'),
        StringStruct(u'LegalCopyright', u'Copyright 2017 free-tutorials.org.'),
        StringStruct(u'LegalTrademarks', u'tk_app is a registered trademark of catafest.'),])
      ]),
    VarFileInfo([VarStruct(u'Translation', [0x409, 1200])])
  ]
)

Now you can use this command for tk_app.py and version.txt files from the C:\Python27 folder:

 pyinstaller.exe --onefile --windowed --version-file=..\version.txt ..\tk_app.py

Let's see this info into the executable file:

If you want to change the icon then you need to add the --icon=tk_app.ico, where tk_app.ico is the new icon of the executable.

    __revision__ = '$Id$'
    __version__ = '2.6.1'

VERSION
    2.6.1

Let's test some examples with this python module.
The first example comes with encrypting and decrypt message based one key.
The key also needs to be one encryption key and fix to key32.
The iv will not be specified by the user, it will be generated and then encrypted with RSA.
NEVER make the IV constant and unique, it must be unique for every message.
Let's see the example source code:

from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto import Random
def encrypt(key32,message):
    cipher=AES.new(key32,AES.MODE_CFB,iv)
    msg=cipher.encrypt(message)
    print(msg)
    return msg
def decrypt(key32,msg):
    dec=AES.new(key32,AES.MODE_CFB,iv)
    return dec.decrypt(msg).decode('ascii')
if __name__=='__main__':
    global iv
    iv=Random.new().read(AES.block_size)
    key='free-tutorials.org'
    key32 = "".join([ ' ' if i >= len(key) else key[i] for i in range(32) ])
    message='another website with free tutorials'
    enc =encrypt(key32, message)
    print enc
    print(decrypt(key32,enc))

The resulting output is this:
ﾰ Cﾣﾟ2 ﾶÕ|ýXÍ ﾲNäÇ3ﾖﾞLﾏﾫuï: ù ﾒNﾰm
ﾰ Cﾣﾟ2 ﾶÕ|ýXÍ ﾲNäÇ3ﾖﾞLﾏﾫuï: ù ﾒNﾰm
another website with free tutorials
Another more simplistic example:

from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto import Random
key = b'Sixteen byte key'
iv = Random.new().read(AES.block_size)
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CFB, iv)
msg = iv + cipher.encrypt(b'Attack at dawn')

See the output of variables:

>>> print key
Sixteen byte key
>>> print iv
ÔÄ▀DÒ ÕØ} m║dÕ╚\
>>> print cipher.encrypt(b'Attack at dawn')
åÌ£┴\u\ÍÈSÕ╦╔.

Using MD5 example:

>>> from Crypto.Hash import MD5
>>> MD5.new('free text').hexdigest()
'be9420c1596a781119c53a9933a8234f'

Using RSA key example:

>>> from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
>>> from Crypto import Random
>>> rng = Random.new().read
>>> RSAkey = RSA.generate(1024, rng)
>>> public_key = RSAkey.publickey()
>>> print public_key
<_rsaobj e="" n="" x3650b98="">
>>> enc_data = public_key.encrypt('test data', 32)[0]
>>> print enc_data

The google-cloud-vision python module - part 001.

Google comes with $300 credit for free to sign up into Google Cloud Platform over the next 12 months.
This allows you to deal with access to all Cloud Platform Products.
Today I will show you how to install this platform into your Linux and Windows 10 OS.
For Linux, I used Fedora 26 distro.
Using the Windows 10 operating system and python 2.7 then you can use this command:

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-vision

If you got errors the fix with this command:
