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):
        self.data.update({key: value})

    def delete(self, key):
        self.data.pop(key)

print "first session requests"
sess = requests.session()
cached_sess = CacheControl(sess)
response = cached_sess.get('http://google.com')
print '=================='
print 'see page by add this: print response.text'
print '=================='
print "second session BaseCache"
sess2 = requests.session()
base=DictCache(sess2)
print '=================='
print "dir(base)"
print dir(base)
print '=================='
print"dir(base.data)"
print dir(base.data)
print '=================='
print"base.data.max_redirects"
print base.data.max_redirects
print '=================='

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)
Building wheels for collected packages: cachecontrol
  Running setup.py bdist_wheel for cachecontrol ... done
  Stored in directory: C:\Users\GeorgeCatalin\AppData\Local\pip\\
Cache\wheels\9b\94\d2\1793b004461b5bc238a89e260cd2b9f770437c42424fdd0943
Successfully built cachecontrol
Installing collected packages: cachecontrol
Successfully installed cachecontrol-0.11.7
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

OpenGL and OpenCV with python 2.7 - part 003.

If you have seen the last tutorial about OpenCV, then this tutorial comes to complete with one source code.
This source code will cut the background of webcam.
The webcam output is take by VideoCapture function.
This part of source code: np.zeros((1,65),np.float64) will return a new array of given shape and type, filled with zeros.
The result of this parts is used with function grabCut from cv2 python module.
This is the source code:

import numpy as np
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while(True):
    ret, img = cap.read()
    #img = cv2.imread('test002.jpg')
    mask = np.zeros(img.shape[:2],np.uint8)

    bgdModel = np.zeros((1,65),np.float64)
    fgdModel = np.zeros((1,65),np.float64)

    rect = (50,50,450,290)
    cv2.grabCut(img,mask,rect,bgdModel,fgdModel,5,cv2.GC_INIT_WITH_RECT)

    mask2 = np.where((mask==2)|(mask==0),0,1).astype('uint8')
    img = img*mask2[:,:,np.newaxis]
    cv2.imshow('frame',img)
    if 0xFF & cv2.waitKey(5) == 27:
        break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
The end result will be something like:

The python dizzy with clean instalation, is true !?

This will refer the python 2.7 working - but it can be extrapolated to other versions.
Many users have trouble installing python modules. The problem comes from old modules outdated or those who did not support.
I will present a few examples. I hope to come and support as necessary to remedy in time or exclusion through better solutions.
This is the main question for today: The python dizzy with clean instalation, is true !?
I don't think is a unwanted hacking of my python instalation using internet.
But I search and I saw many questions and erros over pip and Scripts folders.
I will deal just for this issue:
After I make one clean python 2.7 and all my python modules works well I used my windows to deal with some ssh software.
The next step I make it with python was to try to update with pip.
The strange think is with this files from Scripts folders:
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,150 pyrsa-decrypt-bigfile.exe
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,134 pyrsa-decrypt.exe
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,150 pyrsa-encrypt-bigfile.exe
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,134 pyrsa-encrypt.exe
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,132 pyrsa-keygen.exe
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,155 pyrsa-priv2pub.exe
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,128 pyrsa-sign.exe
12-Aug-16 06:41 PM 98,132 pyrsa-verify.exe
and this file from same Script folder:
21-Jun-16 09:09 PM 0 python.exe
When I need to use pip I got errors.Then I try to fix with this:
pip install --upgrade ndg-httpsclient
and seem to be working now.
But I need to find from where come this file and why is this python file with:
C:\Python27\Scripts>python
Access is denied.
Maybe will be fix with a clean python instalation.
But the next step is and one of my concern is how to preserve this python instalation.
For example today the
pip update issue
come with many errors and this will be fixed.
Let's see how I fixed some of this.

First download Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7.
This will fix this error:
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27
.

If you got this error: RuntimeError: Freetype library not found
C:\Python27>Scripts\pip install freetype-py

raise RuntimeError('Freetype library not found')
RuntimeError: Freetype library not found
Also some python module has into cloud dizzy stuff.
For example the pycryptodome come with many features and working great.
Also some alternative is a bad solution.
It is hard to find a solution to the problem of leaving all these modules.
Any solutions?

The python module pycryptodome - part 001.

The tutorial for today come with this subject: python module pycryptodome.
According to the official website:
PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives.
It supports Python 2.4 or newer, all Python 3 versions and PyPy.
official website.
Also this python module can be used with Windows and Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora distro linux).
I don't see anything about Mac OS - Apple OS Mac_OS - wikipedia.
First step of this tutorial:

Most of resurces and features can be found here also can have some example at Matthew Green.
I will come with another tutorial about this python module.
Have a great day.

Hide your info with stepic python module.

I will show a funny way to put your info into one image and then show this info.
First you need one image. I used this image:


First need to use Python 2.7 with Image ( Pillow python module) and stepic python module.
... and follow the below steps:

C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install Image
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install stepic
C:\Python27\Scripts>cd ..

C:\Python27>python
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.

To encode and then to show the text from one image I used this python script:


import PIL
from PIL import Image
import stepic
im=Image.open("MonaLisa.jpg")
im1 = stepic.encode(im,'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.')
im1.save('test_encode.jpg','JPEG')
im.show()
im1.show()
decoding=stepic.decode(im1)
data_encode=decoding.decode()
print data_encode
