Python 3.7.9 : The sunpy python package - part 001.

In the past, I have written several small tutorials related to this Python package. Now I have some news related to the sunpy python package:
  • HelioviewerClient is deprecated;
  • The Helioviewer Project now maintains a Python Wrapper called hvpy.
  • sunpy users are encouraged to upgrade parfive python package;
  • the sunpy.database deprecation;
  • the sample data files provided through sunpy.data.sample are now downloaded individually on demand;
  • SunPy is tested against Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6.;
  • SunPy no longer supports Python 3.4.;
  • easy to extract data values from a GenericMap along a curve specified by a set of coordinates using the new sunpy.map.extract_along_coord function;
  • has a new make_heliographic_header() function that simplifies creating map headers that span the whole solar surface in Carrington or Stonyhurst coordinates;
  • aiaprep is now deprecated;
  • ... and more on the official website.
I install this python package on the Windows OS with the pip tool:
pip install "sunpy[all] -U"
You can install extra available options: [asdf], [dask], [database], [image], [jpeg2000], [map], [net], [timeseries], [visualization].
You can see the version of this python package with this source code:
 import sunpy
print(sunpy.__version__)
3.1.8
I tested this package with this simple source code:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import sunpy.map
import sunpy.data.sample  
sunpyAIA = sunpy.map.Map(sunpy.data.sample.AIA_171_IMAGE) 
sunpyAIA.plot()
plt.colorbar()
plt.show()
The instrument is AIA and the measurement is 171, see more on this online tool named helioviewer.
After I run I got this image:

Python 3.11.0 : The scapy python module - part 003.

Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation program. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks or network discovery (it can replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tshark, p0f, etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other tools can’t handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel, …), etc.
First, you need to install it with pip tool: pip install scapy --user.
I used with WinPcap from this webpage, but you will see the recomandation is to use Npcap.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
print(os.sys.path)
from scapy.all import *

def mysniff(interface):
    sniff(iface=interface, store=False, prn=process_sniffed_packet)

def process_sniffed_packet(packet):
    pyperclip.copy(str(packet))
    print(packet)

mysniff("Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller")
The running result is something like this:
...

Python Qt6 : Create a tray icon application.

The notification area known as system tray is located in the Windows Taskbar area, usually at the bottom right corner.
I tested with:
Python 3.10.2 (tags/v3.10.2:a58ebcc, Jan 17 2022, 14:12:15) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
...
pip show pyqt6
Name: PyQt6
Version: 6.4.0
Summary: Python bindings for the Qt cross platform application toolkit
I created a trayicon application with PyQt6 that show a menu with two entry: Show Window and Exit.
The Show Window will sow a default window and the Exit will close the application.
This is the source code I tested, you need an icon.png in the same folder with this script.
import sys
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt, QEvent, QPoint
from PyQt6.QtGui import QGuiApplication, QIcon, QAction
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QSystemTrayIcon, QMainWindow, QMenu

# create the default application
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the main window
window = QMainWindow()
# set the title for the window
window.setWindowTitle("My Window")

# this set the tray icon and menu
tray_icon = QSystemTrayIcon()
tray_icon.setIcon(QIcon("icon.png"))
menu = QMenu()

# add an action to the menu to show the window
show_window_action = QAction("Show Window", None)
show_window_action.triggered.connect(window.show)
menu.addAction(show_window_action)

# add an action to the menu to exit the application
exit_action = QAction("Exit", None)
exit_action.triggered.connect(app.quit)
menu.addAction(exit_action)

# set the context menu
tray_icon.setContextMenu(menu)

# show the tray icon
tray_icon.show()

# run the application
app.exec()

Python 3.10.2 : about ChemSpiPy.

ChemSpiPy provides a way to interact with ChemSpider in Python. It allows chemical searches, chemical file downloads, depiction and retrieval of chemical properties...
You can read more about this python package on the official website and the documentation for this python package.
You have to create an account and fill in the data to get an A.P.I key...
This is the source code for this python package , I use PyQt6 to show image formula with:QPixmap.fromImage.
import chemspipy

# set the API key from https://developer.rsc.org/my-apps/
api_key = "... your A.P.I. key ..."

# import the ChemSpider class
from chemspipy import ChemSpider

# instance of the ChemSpider class
cs_inst = ChemSpider(api_key)

compound_name = "Glucose"
# search for compound: "Glucose"
compounds  = cs_inst.search(compound_name) 

# get the first compound in the list
compound = compounds[0]

# print the list of the attributes and methods of 'compound' object
print(dir(compound))

# Print the compound's properties
print("... some compound's properties !")
print(f"Name: {compound.common_name}")
print(f"Average_mass: {compound.average_mass}")
print(f"ChemSpider ID - csid: {compound.csid}")
#print(f" external_references: {compound.external_references}")
#print(f" image: {compound.image}")
#print(f" mol_2d: {compound.mol_2d}")
#print(f" mol_3d: {compound.mol_3d}")
print(f" molecular_formula: {compound.molecular_formula}")
print(f" molecular_weight: {compound.molecular_weight}")
print(f" monoisotopic_mass: {compound.monoisotopic_mass}")
print(f" nominal_mass: {compound.nominal_mass}")


import sys
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt6.QtGui import QPixmap, QImage, QColor
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QLabel

# Create the application
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create the main window
window = QMainWindow()
window.setWindowTitle(compound_name)

# Load the image with fromData
image = QImage.fromData(compound.image)

# Create a label to display the image
label = QLabel()
label.setPixmap(QPixmap.fromImage(image))

# Set the label as the central widget of the window
window.setCentralWidget(label)

# Show the window
window.show()

# Run the application
app.exec()

Python 3.10.2 : testing the NASA A.P.I. features.

In this tutorial I will show you how to deal with the NASA A.P.I. and python programming language.
This source code was build and tested yesterday.
This is the source code:
import requests
from datetime import date

today_data = date.today()
today = today_data.strftime("%d%m%Y")
import urllib.parse

# set your API key from nasa https://api.nasa.gov/#NHATS
api_key = "... your A.P.I. key ..."

# this is a simple example to get one day image 
base_url = "https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod"

# set the parameters for the API request
params = {
    "api_key": api_key
}

# the request to the API
response = requests.get(base_url, params=params)

# get data
if response.status_code == 200:
    # parse the response
    data = response.json()

    # print the image URL
    print(data["url"])
    # parse the URL
    parsed_url = urllib.parse.urlparse(data["url"])

    # extract the file name from the URL
    file_name = parsed_url.path.split("/")[-1]
    # save the image
    response_image = requests.get(data["url"])
    with open(today+'_'+file_name, "wb") as f:
        f.write(response_image.content)
else:
    # print the status code
    print(response.status_code)
I run the source code and I get these two images ...

        super().__init__()

        # the window title
        self.setWindowTitle('Table Viewer for any CSV file.')

        # this create the table widget
        self.table = QTableWidget(self)

        # the table dimensions is set default
        self.table.setColumnCount(0)
        self.table.setRowCount(0)

        # this read the CSV file named my.csv
        with open('my.csv', 'r') as file:
            # use the reader for file 
            reader = csv.reader(file)
            # this get the column labels from the first row
            headers = next(reader)
            # this set the number of columns based on the number of headers
            self.table.setColumnCount(len(headers))

Python 3.10.2 : Copernicus A.P.I. and python sentinelsat python package - part 001.

Last night I worked a bit with python and tested on the online tool from Copernicus.
Copernicus is the European Union's Earth observation programme, which analyzes our planet and its environment for the benefit of all European citizens.
If you want to test it with python or another A.P>I. you need to create an user and a apassword.This is the source code I used with S:
from sentinelsat import SentinelAPI, read_geojson, geojson_to_wkt
from datetime import date
# Connect to the Sentinel API
api = SentinelAPI('___', '___', 'https://scihub.copernicus.eu/dhus')
#
api.download('___from_copernicus_website___')
# Search for Sentinel-2 images covering a specific area
footprint = geojson_to_wkt(read_geojson('area_of_interest.geojson'))

products = api.query(footprint,
                     date=('20211201', '20211205'),
                     platformname='Sentinel-1')
# convert to Pandas DataFrame
products_df = api.to_dataframe(products)
print(products_df)
# sort and limit to first 5 sorted products
products_df_sorted = products_df.sort_values(['link'], ascending=[True])
products_df_sorted = products_df_sorted.head(5)

# download sorted and reduced products
api.download_all(products_df_sorted.index)
You need a JSOn file to select the area of interest:
After I run this python script, the result is this:

Python 3.10.2 : MoviePy - part 001.

MoviePy is a Python module for video editing, which can be used for basic operations (like cuts, concatenations, title insertions), video compositing (a.k.a. non-linear editing), video processing, or to create advanced effects. It can read and write the most common video formats, including GIF.
You can read more about this python package on this webpage.
I install this python package with the pip3 tool:
pip3 install MoviePy --user
I have an AVI file type created with the Blender 3D software, named anime_effect_001.avi, you can find it on my youtube channel.
I used this source code to convert it into an mp4 file type:
import moviepy.editor as moviepy
clip = moviepy.VideoFileClip("anime_effect_001.avi")
clip.write_videofile("MP4_anime_effect_001.mp4")
I run with this command:
python moviepy_001.py
Moviepy - Building video MP4_anime_effect_001.mp4.
Moviepy - Writing video MP4_anime_effect_001.mp4
...
Moviepy - Done !
Moviepy - video ready MP4_anime_effect_001.mp4
I play the MP4 file with the VLC video player and works great.
