Use the tweepy to deal with twitter api - part 001.

I will show you how to install the python module named tweepy  and how to make authentication into twitter webpage.
This will install the tweepy python module.

C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install tweepy

To deal with twitter api then you need to create a new application into this webpage.
This webpage will give for authentication your date to connect to twitter:
Application Settings
consumer_key=""
consumer_secret=""

Your Access Token
access_token=""
access_token_secret=""

Let's start with a simple example, by using your application settings and access token:
import tweepy
from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy import Stream

consumer_key=""
consumer_secret=""

access_token=""
access_token_secret=""

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

print(api.me().name)

class StdOutListener(StreamListener):
""" A listener handles tweets that are received from the stream.
This is a basic listener that just prints received tweets to stdout.
"""
def on_data(self, data):
print(data)
return True

def on_error(self, status):
print(status)

if __name__ == '__main__':
lista = StdOutListener()
auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

stream = Stream(auth, lista)
stream.filter(track=['internet'])

Using python shell to run this script will show all about 'internet'.
The output will come into raw format.
Let's try another example to update your status with this message:
I using OAuth authentication via Tweepy!
Just add this into my code before class definition:
api.update_status(status='I using OAuth authentication via Tweepy!')
You can rad more about streaming by reading this docs.
For example, I used track from here.

The morse python module with pip installation versus precompiled archive wheel.

Today I try to deal with morse python module and it took me a while to install python modules because of their dependencies.
I started with the pip install of morse module but I got dependency errors in python modules
Because I try to fix this issue the result of this tutorial is more about how to install some python module: matplotlib, scipy, numpy, mkl and morse.
The all installation process will help you to understand how can be fix some pip installation versus precompiled archive wheel.

Download SciPy wheel file from here.
Install this file with:
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
Processing c:\python27\scripts\scipy-0.18.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: scipy
Successfully installed scipy-0.18.1

Now you can install morse pyhon module.
pip install morse
If you installed the numpy by pip, but the scipy was installed by precompiled archive then expects numpy+mkl.
So to fix that issue, I download the numpy-1.12.0b1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl file and install this with pip:
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install "numpy-1.12.0b1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl"
Processing c:\python27\scripts\numpy-1.12.0b1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: numpy
Found existing installation: numpy 1.11.2
Uninstalling numpy-1.11.2:

Noise 2D, 3D, 4D with opensimplex python module.

OpenSimplex noise is an n-dimensional gradient noise function that was developed in order to overcome the patent-related issues surrounding Simplex noise, while continuing to also avoid the visually-significant directional artifacts characteristic of Perlin noise.
Let's start with instalation:
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install OpenSimplex
Collecting OpenSimplex

Python 3.4 and Flask module - part 001.

This is a simple tutorial about how to install Flask python module under python 3.4 .
I think this can also working with any python 3.x versions.
Flask is a microframework for creating web applications.
First you need to install your python 3.4 and then you will get the pip script from here.
About pip you can read more on the pip webpage.
Run the pip install:
python get-pip.py

Go to into your Python folder and start the pip installation of Flask python module.
C:\Python34>cd Scripts
C:\Python34\Scripts>pip install Flask
Downloading/unpacking Flask

This is the first step. The next step is to start the default webpage.
Using python command shell you can test the Flask python module.

>>> from flask import Flask
>>>
>>> app = Flask(__name__)
>>>
>>> @app.route('/')
... def homepage():
... return "Hi there, how ya doin?"
...
>>>
>>> if __name__ == "__main__":
... app.run()
...
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
127.0.0.1 - - [26/Sep/2014 23:25:01] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
127.0.0.1 - - [26/Sep/2014 23:25:02] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 -


As you can see is running into browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000 .
Let's put this into one python script.
You need to make a new folder called FlaskApp and go to this folder.
Make a new script named app.py with the source code you tested.
Now you can just run the script and all will be working well.
Flask looks for template files inside the templates folder.
Go to the folder FlaskApp and create a folder called templates.
Now, create a file called index.html and fill with you html source code.
To call this index.html you need to add this line of source code ino your script:
from flask import Flask, render_template and
def main():
return render_template('index.html')

Start your python script and you will see the content of your index.html.

OpenGL and OpenCV with python 2.7 - part 004.

Today I will continue the series of graphics processing in OpenGL and OpenCV.
The goal of this tutorial is the download and load into the python script of a youtube video.
To do that we need another two modules python.
First, I download and install the python 2.7.12 32 bit version from the internet.
C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12:d33e0cf91556, Jun 27 2016, 15:19:22) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (
Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

First update the pip tool and install numpy python module:
C:\Python27\Scripts>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Collecting pip

The main reason to have the numpy python module: it is often used with OpenCV python module.
For OpenCV python module installation you need to see my tutorial.
After you install it, test the OpenCV python module:
C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12:d33e0cf91556, Jun 27 2016, 15:19:22) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (

Install pafy python module.
This module help you to download video from youtube but you need also the youtube-dl python module.
So let's install the youtube-dl and pafy python modules.
C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install youtube-dl
Collecting youtube-dl
Downloading youtube_dl-2016.12.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.5MB)

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install pafy
Collecting pafy
Downloading pafy-0.5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: pafy
Successfully installed pafy-0.5.2

I make a simple python script named: get_yt.py.
The source code of this script is simple:
import os
import pafy
# Download the video
video = pafy.new('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5VCjktWVD4')
print "video.title"
print video.title
print "video.rating"
print video.rating
print "video.viewcount, video.author, video.length"
print video.viewcount, video.author, video.length
print "video.duration, video.likes, video.dislikes"
print video.duration, video.likes, video.dislikes
print "video.description"
print video.description
resolution = video.getbestvideo(preftype="mp4")
print "resolution"
print resolution
input_movie = resolution.download(quiet=False)
print "input_movie"
print input_movie
print "delete movie"
os.remove(input_movie)

I used the URL of a video clip from youtube channel of Arden Cho to tested.
If you want to keep the video into your folder just remove the last line from the python script.
The result is this output:
C:\Python27>python.exe get_yt.py
video.title

Using text file with python 2.7 .

This simple tutorial is about text file. The text file come with txt extension.
It is a file containing text that can be used and further processing by functions and modules python.
I used Tkinter python module. The reason I chose this python mpodule is:
  • old python module;
  • rapidly developing graphical interfaces.
First step is to import the python module and then to put all of dir command into one text file.
The name of this file is: Tkinter_funct.txt
Open your python and try this source code:
C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:08:48) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Tkinter
>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> Tkinter_all=dir(Tkinter)
>>> Tkinter_file=open('Tkinter_funct.txt','w')
>>> Tkinter_file.write(str(Tkinter_all))
>>> print Tkinter_all

You will see the content of dir python module.
The text file is also have this text output.
To read the file is need to open the file with open function, to put position for read by using seek function and to read with read function.
This example will show you how is working:
>>> test=open('Tkinter_funct.txt','r+')
>>> test.seek(1)
>>> test.read()

Will open the file named Tkinter_funct.txt and r+ access to file.
The position it is set to 1.
The read function make all with full content output.
Now let's see the next steps, by change the read and seek values.

>>> test.read(1)
''
>>> test.read(2)
''
>>> test.read(10)
''
>>> test.seek(2)
>>> test.read(1)
'A'
>>> test.read(10)
"CTIVE', 'A"
>>> test.read(20)
"LL', 'ANCHOR', 'ARC'"

This outputs come with parts of all content and show you how it's working.

The python CacheControl module - part 002.

Today was a hard day and this is the reason I make this short tutorial.
Teory of HTTP:
HTTP specifies four response cache headers that you can set to enable caching:
  • Cache-Control
  • Expires
  • ETag
  • Last-Modified
These four headers are used to help cache your responses into two different models:
  • Expiration Caching - used to cache your entire response for a specific amount of time (e.g. 24 hours), simple, but cache invalidation is more difficult;
  • Validation Caching - this is more complex and used to cache your response, but allows you to dynamically invalidate it as soon as your content changes.
First you need to know about this code is a raw example about how we can access cache of the page.
Come with a simple class named DictCache. You can named with any name and is a BaseCache class.
The next step I make is to show you how can access it.
One simpe way is to see the page - first session.
The complex come when you need to access for example data and info like:
 'adapters', 'auth', 'cert', 'close', 'cookies', 'delete', 'get', 'get_adapter', 'head', 'headers', 'hooks', 'max_redirects', 'merge_environment_settings', 'mount', 'options', 'params', 'patch', 'post', 'prepare_request', 'proxies', 'put', 'rebuild_auth', 'rebuild_method', 'rebuild_proxies', 'redirect_cache', 'request', 'resolve_redirects', 'send', 'stream', 'trust_env', 'verify'
And this is come with teh second session from this source code:

import requests
from cachecontrol import CacheControl
from cachecontrol.cache import BaseCache

class DictCache(BaseCache):

    def __init__(self, init_dict=None):
        self.data = init_dict or {}

    def get(self, key):
        return self.data.get(key, None)

    def set(self, key, value):

The python CacheControl module - part 001.

This tutorials series want to be a better approach to understand the several mechanisms that HTTP provides for web cache validation. Let's start with the first part.
You can install it with pip
C:\>cd Python27
C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install cachecontrol
Collecting cachecontrol
  Downloading CacheControl-0.11.7.tar.gz
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): 
requests in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from cachecontrol)

First test come with the default example and show all with the text.
import requests
from cachecontrol import CacheControl
sess = requests.session()
cached_sess = CacheControl(sess)
response = cached_sess.get('http://google.com')
print response

print response.text
...
The requests python module is an Apache2 Licensed HTTP library to allow you to send HTTP/1.1 requests.
This help you to add headers, form data, multipart files, and parameters with simple
Python dictionaries, and access the response data in the same way.

The theory part.
You can use CacheControl with the basic wrapper way or via a requests Transport Adapter.
The Transport Adapters provide a mechanism to define interaction methods for an HTTP service.
The code will come with this template (docs example):
sess = requests.Session()
sess.mount('http://', CacheControlAdapter())
This mean the CacheControl assumes you are using a requests.Session for your requests.
So the Transport Adapter will cover the HTTPCore and WSGICore.
Now, both (the wrapper and adapter classes) allow providing a custom cache store object.
This is used for storing your cached data.
The next step will be
from cachecontrol.caches import FileCache
sess = CacheControl(requests.Session(),
                    cache=FileCache('.webcache'))
The result will create a directory called .webcache and store a file for each cached request.
Also the CacheControl python module comes with a few storage backends for storing your cache objects.
First is DictCache is the default cache, next is FileCache is similar to the caching mechanism provided by httplib2 and the last is RedisCache uses a Redis database to store values.
One note about requesting the filecache extra can use dependency with: pip install cachecontrol[filecache].
The CacheControl’s support of ETags by returns a response with the appropriate If-None-Match header.
Seem the ETag support only takes effect when the time has expired.
The ETag or entity tag, is part of HTTP, the protocol for the World Wide Web and provides for web cache validation. You can also take a look at Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Caching.
The documentation of cachecontrol python module tells us:
Caching is hard! It is considered one of the great challenges of computer science.
Yes! you can agree with that, because some parts need to be understand well.
This issues: Timezones, Cached Responses and Query String Params are the most important parts.

Any info about this issue will be grea, just put your comments.



Another simple effect with pygame.

The pygame module come with many features for users.
I used the pygame version to make one simple tutorial about pallete functions :
>>> print pygame.version.ver
1.9.2b1

The result of my tutorial is this:
