Take weather data with pyowm from openweathermap .

This tutorial shows you how to download and install the pyowm python module.
One of the great things about using this python module let you to provide data from openweathermap website (need to have one account).
PyOWM runs on Python 2.7 and Python 3.2+, and integrates with Django 1.10+ models.
All documentation can be found here.

The install is simple with pip , python 2.7 and Fedora 25.

The tensorflow python module - part 003.

This short tutorial come to fix your work and help you with examples and tutorials.
You can look to the internet and you can search many examples and tutorials but you can get errors.
How to fix that:
The first step is to know what tensorflow version of you use.
[mythcat@localhost ~]$ python -c "import tensorflow; print(tensorflow.__version__)"
1.0.1
Then yo need to know what parts from tensorflow old version is deprecated from the last version.
One superannuated method is to fix old source code with this:
import tensorflow as tf
tf.scalar_summary = tf.summary.scalar
tf.merge_all_summaries = tf.summary.merge_all
tf.train.SummaryWriter = tf.summary.FileWriter
A better method is to fix your source code and read the documentation.

The tensorflow python module - part 002.

Today I will show you how to install tensorflow python module on Windows OS with pip tool.
I used python version 3.5.3.
C:\Python35>cd Scripts

C:\Python35\Scripts>pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow
Collecting tensorflow

If you are installing TensorFlow with GPU support then the following NVIDIA software must be installed on your system:

CUDA Toolkit 8.0. , the NVIDIA drivers associated with CUDA Toolkit 8.0 and cuDNN v5.1.
The cuDNN is typically installed in a different location from the other CUDA DLLs.
Now you need to add the directory where you installed the cuDNN DLL to your %PATH% environment variable.
The result will be output under python result when you import this python module, see my output:

The pattern python module - part 001.

This is a very short presentation of pattern python module.
This python module is full of options and features.
I will try to show you some parts useful for most python users.
About pattern python module:
Pattern is a web mining module for the Python programming language.
It has tools for data mining (Google, Twitter and Wikipedia API, a web crawler, a HTML DOM parser), natural language processing (part-of-speech taggers, n-gram search, sentiment analysis, WordNet), machine learning (vector space model, clustering, SVM), network analysis and visualization.
Pattern developer documentation
ModuleFunctionality
pattern.web Asynchronous requests, web services, web crawler, HTML DOM parser.
pattern.db Wrappers for databases (MySQL, SQLite) and CSV-files.
pattern.text Base classes for parsers, parse trees and sentiment analysis.
pattern.search Pattern matching algorithm for parsed text (syntax & semantics).
pattern.vector Vector space model, clustering, classification.
pattern.graph Graph analysis & visualization.

I used with Fedora linux and you can see the instalation of this python module:
[root@localhost ~]# pip install pattern
Collecting pattern

    100% |████████████████████████████████| 24.6MB 61kB/s 
Installing collected packages: pattern
  Running setup.py install for pattern ... done
Successfully installed pattern-2.6

Frequently used single character variable names:
Variable Meaning Example
a array, all a = [normalize(w) for w in words]
b boolean while b is False:
d distance, document d = distance(v1, v2)
e element e = html.find('#nav')
f file, filter, function f = open('data.csv', 'r')
i index for i in range(len(matrix)):
j index for j in range(len(matrix[i])):
k key for k in vector.keys():
n list length n = len(a)
p parser, pattern p = pattern.search.compile('NN')
q query for r in twitter.search(q):
r result, row for r in csv('data.csv):
s string s = s.decode('utf-8').strip()
t time t = time.time() - t0
v value, vector for k, v in vector.items():
w word for i, w in enumerate(sentence.words):
x horizontal position node.x = 0
y vertical position node.y = 0
Pattern contains part-of-speech taggers for a number of languages (including English, Spanish, German, French and Dutch). Part-of-speech tagging is useful in many data mining tasks. A part-of-speech tagger takes a string of text and identifies the sentences and the words in the text along with their word type.

Italian it 60M Italy (60)
Dutch nl 27M The Netherlands (25), Belgium (6), Suriname (1)
import pattern.en  
import pattern.es

You can deal with many websites, see examples:
from pattern.web import Wikipedia
from pattern.web import Yahoo
from pattern.web import Twitter
from pattern.web import Facebook
from pattern.web import Flickr
from pattern.web import GMAIL
from pattern.web import GOOGLE
Now, about pattern.db.
The pattern.db module contains wrappers for databases (SQLite, MySQL), Unicode CSV files and Python's datetime. It offers a convenient way to work with tabular data, for example retrieved with the pattern.web module.
import pattern 
from pattern.db import Database, field, pk, STRING, BOOLEAN, DATE, NOW 
db = Database('people')
db.create('area_people',fields=(
pk(),
field('name', STRING(80), index=True),
field('type', STRING(20)),
field('date_birth', DATE, default=None),
field('date_created', DATE, default=NOW)
))
db.area_people.append(name=u'George', type='male')
1
print db.area_people.rows()[0]
(1, u'George', u'male', None, Date('2017-03-06 22:38:13'))

Working with datetime python module.

This module is very good and I worked with this issue by using MySQL and python.
The version of python I used is 2.7 under Fedora distro.
You can take a look at the official page.
I use the pip and not the DNF fedora Linux tool.

I solve this problem:
  • conversion using the lambda function

  • solve last day
    datetime.datetime.strptime(new_value, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')-timedelta(days=1)
  • print the today date
    print date.today()
  • show date using an explicit format string
    today=date.today()
    today.strftime("%A %d. %B %Y")
    'Sunday 05. March 2017'
    
  • using epoch issue [1]

Using pygeoip and maxmin database.


I try to locate one IP using the databases from maxmind website and is not good for me.
The database records show me the output from country area.
I read the docs from here.
This is the python script I used:
#wget -N -q http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
import pygeoip 
gip = pygeoip.GeoIP('GeoLiteCity.dat')

This is my test script with opencv to detect flow using Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow function.
This tracks some points in a black and white video.
First you need:
- one black and white video;
- not mp4 file type file;
- the color args need to be under 4 ( see is 3);
- I used this video:
I used cv2.goodFeaturesToTrack().
We take the first frame, detect some Shi-Tomasi corner points in it, then we iteratively track those points using Lucas-Kanade optical flow.
The function cv2.calcOpticalFlowPyrLK() we pass the previous frame, previous points and next frame.
The returns next points along with some status numbers which has a value of 1 if next point is found, else zero.
That iteratively pass these next points as previous points in next step.
See the code below:
import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture('candle')

# params for ShiTomasi corner detection
feature_params = dict( maxCorners = 77,
                       qualityLevel = 0.3,
                       minDistance = 7,
                       blockSize = 7 )

# Parameters for lucas kanade optical flow
lk_params = dict( winSize  = (17,17),
                  maxLevel = 1,
                  criteria = (cv2.TERM_CRITERIA_EPS | cv2.TERM_CRITERIA_COUNT, 10, 0.03))

# Create some random colors
color = np.random.randint(0,255,(100,3))

# Take first frame and find corners in it
ret, old_frame = cap.read()
old_gray = cv2.cvtColor(old_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
p0 = cv2.goodFeaturesToTrack(old_gray, mask = None, **feature_params)

# Create a mask image for drawing purposes
mask = np.zeros_like(old_frame)

while(1):
    ret,frame = cap.read()
    frame_gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # calculate optical flow
    p1, st, err = cv2.calcOpticalFlowPyrLK(old_gray, frame_gray, p0, None, **lk_params)

    # Select good points
    good_new = p1[st==1]
    good_old = p0[st==1]

    # draw the tracks
    for i,(new,old) in enumerate(zip(good_new,good_old)):
        a,b = new.ravel()
        c,d = old.ravel()
        mask = cv2.line(mask, (a,b),(c,d), color[i].tolist(), 2)
        frame = cv2.circle(frame,(a,b),5,color[i].tolist(),-1)
    img = cv2.add(frame,mask)

    cv2.imshow('frame',img)
    k = cv2.waitKey(30) & 0xff
    if k == 27:
        break

    # Now update the previous frame and previous points
    old_gray = frame_gray.copy()
    p0 = good_new.reshape(-1,1,2)

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
cap.release()

The bad and good urllib.

This is a simple python script:
import urllib
opener = urllib.FancyURLopener({})
f = opener.open("http://www.ra___aer.ro/")
d=f.read()
fo = open('workfile.txt', 'w')
fo.write(d)
fo.close()
The really bad news comes from here:

The twill python module with Fedora 25.

Today I tested the twill python module with python 2.7 and Fedora 25.
This is: a scripting system for automating Web browsing. Useful for testing Web pages or grabbing data from password-protected sites automatically.
To install this python module I used pip command:
[root@localhost mythcat]# pip install twill
Collecting twill

Basic is used by setlocal to fill website forms and the go function.
Ban can be very good for some tasks.
The twill python module also provides a simple wrapper for mechanizing functionality with the API is still unstable.

Compare two images: the histogram method.

This is a very simple example about how to compare the histograms of both images and print the inconsistencies are bound to arise.
The example come with alternative solution: Histogram method.
The script was run under Fedora 25.
If the images are the same the result will be 0.0.
For testing I change the image2.png by make a line into this with a coverage of 10%.
The result of the script was:
1116.63243729
The images come with this dimensions: 738 x 502 px.
import math
import operator
from math import *
import PIL

from PIL import Image
h1 = Image.open("image1.png").histogram()
h2 = Image.open("image2.png").histogram()

rms = math.sqrt(reduce(operator.add,
        map(lambda a,b: (a-b)**2, h1, h2))/len(h1))
print rms
About the operator module exports a set of efficient functions corresponding to the intrinsic operators of Python.
Example:
operator.lt(a, b)
operator.le(a, b)
operator.eq(a, b)
operator.ne(a, b)
operator.ge(a, b)
operator.gt(a, b)
operator.__lt__(a, b)
operator.__le__(a, b)
operator.__eq__(a, b)
operator.__ne__(a, b)
operator.__ge__(a, b)
operator.__gt__(a, b)

This is like math operators:
lt(a, b) is equivalent to a < b
le(a, b) is equivalent to a <= b
Another example:
>>> # Elementwise multiplication
>>> map(mul, [0, 1, 2, 3], [10, 20, 30, 40])
[0, 20, 60, 120]

>>> # Dot product
>>> sum(map(mul, [0, 1, 2, 3], [10, 20, 30, 40]))

If the python kivy.deps.gstreamer don't working then is not problem will try without this python module.
To see outdated python modules , use this commnds:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
pip list outdated
Let's upgrade all of python modules with this:
pip freeze > requirements.txt && pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt && del requirements.txt
Another way to install this python module can be found here.
The demo can be star with this comman line:
C:\Python27>python share\kivy-examples\demo\showcase\main.py
You can also test one simple python script:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button

class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
return Button(text='Hello World')

TestApp().run()

To use with android operating system then test Buildozer.
This tool supports packaging for Android via the python-for-android project, and for iOS via the kivy-ios project. Support for other operating systems is intended in the future.
