Include python script inside an app

Hi all, I'm writing an applescript app which should use a python script.
how can I include the script inside the apple and have it called by the applescript?
Thank you!

Now, is there a way to let the user choose both the output file directory and the output file name (out.iso)?
To get the filename, add this after the code to select the directory:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;">
set outPutName to text returned of (display dialog "Now, please enter a filename:" default answer "out" with title "Enter Filename") & ".iso"</pre>
But you need to remove "quoted form of the" from dirOutput.
Also, "set dirOutput to POSIX path of the dirOut" is not needed.
so, this should work:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;">
set dirOut to (POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Scegli la posizione in cui salvare il file convertito"))
set outPutName to text returned of (display dialog "Now, please enter a filename:" default answer "out" with title "Enter Filename") & ".iso"
if outPutName is ".iso" then set outPutName to "out.iso" -- simple error check for blank name
if outPutName contains "/" then set outPutName to "out.iso" -- simple error check for bad charater in name
set fullPathOut to quoted form of (dirOut & outPutName)
</pre>

  • Python script integration in SCOM - Example needed?

    Hello,
    I've been googling around a lot looking for an example of Python script integrated with SCOM. I understood that is possible, but I only find example for PowerShell or VisualBasic (for instance here >> http://opsit.blogspot.hk/2013/11/scom-scripting-basics.html
    ). This link looks great for what I need, but it's not coded in Python.. :-(
    I'm not a native programmer so I'm struggling in reading VisualBasic/PowerShell code and trying to understand how to do the same in Python. Even a simple example of Python+SCOM integration would be of great help in understanding how it works in terms
    of libraries to include and input/output between the systems.
    Can you point me towards any example of Python+SCOM integration?
    Thanks in advance.
    W.

    Hi,
    I would prefer to rewrite your library in Powershell as it is fully supported by SCOM and you also get Powershell Know-How which is always fine :).
    A good starting point is always the Python Developers Guide to Powershell ;)
    http://mohd-akram.github.io/2013/05/16/a-python-developers-guide-to-powershell
    Please find below some Articles about Invoke-Restmethod in Powershell:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849971.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2013/10/21/invokerestmethod-for-the-rest-of-us.aspx
    Update: If you want to keep you Python Script you still could write a Wrapper Function for it in Powershell:

  • Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by Apple / Android?

    Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by apple / android?
    This is my question....:
    I need a "viewer" app run in a desktop machine... via p2p... ( done and working )
    I will like to include it in my iOS / Android Release, an then by example move it to the documents folder.
    Run iTunes and then copy the file from the shared document folder.
    Is this permited by apple / android / adobe ?
    Thanks....

    just tracing some kind of tests I'm doing.
    A couple of hours ago I left working 2 instances of my Application, leaving alone this computer: one instance is the Mac desktop version and the other one is the Web version. In this case both versions were running on the same computer (an iMac with OS X Mavericks):
    1) the AIR/Mac version have been recompiled yesterday with the new AIR4(.0.0.1619 - AIR 3.8 is used to fall in a equivalent way - no changes)
    2) the Web version have been compiled targeting FP 11.8 and it is running on Chrome browser with PepperFlash NOT disabled (which reports version MAC 13.0.0.80, the latest)
    I left working both the Mac and the Web versions of the Application opened on the pc screen (= not minimized) but kept totally behind some Terminal/ssh windows (= not on OS focus and the system is not asked to update any screen area of the app for sure).
    I came back after about 2 hours and I got the browser version connected&running (but it is not a rule) and I also found the AIR-based Mac version disconnected (uau, usually I found the app disconnected but with the screen freezed at last user look ->) which rapidly reconnects upon my click on the Apple dock icon (bring to front).
    Why these different behaviours? I ask to myself.
    The two versions of the software are TOTALLY the SAME application: except for the first Flash file (a 24kb swf file for the Web version and a 170kb dmg file for the Mac version), basically a platform-dependent loader, both versions loads the same remote swf modules. Of course t is AIR (or my first Flash file?).
    I attach the source code of the Mac version of the [first file] AIR-based application at the following url:
    http://92.63.230.100/others/others/wtstarter_mac.as.txt
    _Adobe_, is it a bug? isn't it?

  • Calling a .py script inside a .VI, using anaconda's Libraries or specific python version (SystemExec.vi(?), MAC OSX)

    Hi,
    I'm new to both mac and LabView, so it may well be something obvious I'm missing.
    I'm trying to use System Exec (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361L-01/glang/system_exec/ with LabVIEW 2014 on Mac OS X Mavericks) to call a python script to do some image processing after taking some data and saving images via LabView.
    My problem is that I cannot figure out how to point it to the correct version/install of python to use, as it seems to use the pre-installed 2.7.5 apple version no matter whether that's set to be my default or not (and hence, it can't see my SciPy, PIL etc. packages that come with my Anaconda install).
    It doesn't seem to matter whether I have certain packages installed for 2.7 accessable via the terminal, the LabView System Exec command line can't seem to find them either way and throws up an error if a script is called that imports them.
    I've tried changing the working directory to the relevant anaconda/bin folder, I've also tried
    cd /Applications/anaconda/bin; python <file.py> 
    as the CL input to system exec, but it's not wanting to use anything other than the apple install. I've tried Anaconda installs with both python 2.7 and 3.4, so it doesn't seem to be down to the 3.* compatibility issues alone.
    Printing the python version to a string indicator box in LV via python script gives the following:
    2.7.5 (default, Mar 9 2014, 22:15:05)
    [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)]
    Whereas via the terminal, the default version is the anaconda install I'd like to use, currently
    Python 3.4.1 |Anaconda 2.1.0 (x86_64)| (default, Sep 10 2014, 17:24:09)
    [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
    I can do which python3.4 on the sys exec CL input to get the correct /anaconda/bin location, but if I try  python3.4 <file.py>, I just get a Seg fault.
    I've found examples for System Exec use and instructions for calling python scripts with specific versions, but neither works with Mac (frustratingly).
    I've also tried editing the Path Environment Variable, and tried getting rid of the python 2.7 install entirely, but none of these work either (the latter just causing errors all over the shop).
    So, in summary
    I'd just like to know how to specify the python version LabView uses and to have use of the corresponding python libraries.
    Either python version (2 or 3) will do, I'd just like to be able to use my libraries which came with Anaconda which I'll be writing my scripts with (which I installed as the correct packages are only compatible with a specific python version on Mac, which is not the specific version that Xcode was compatible with, argh).
    All packages work normally when using the Anaconda version with the terminal or with Spyder.
    Is there a function I can use other than System Exec? What am I missing?
    Please help.

    I'm not debating whether it was accidental or intentional.  It certainly isn't helpful to post the same message twice.
    It is helpful to point out this message is a duplicate so people don't waste their time answering this one if you are already being helped in the other one.

  • Scripting modifications to LDAP inside Python script

    Hi all,
    I have written Python scripts to create redundant print services on two OS X Server 10.6 machines running print services for al hundred or so macs in computer labs. The Mac printing (which printers appear to users) is managed via MCX w/OD. Essentially how they work is this:
    *script periodically tests socket connectivity on primary server IPP/LPR ports
    *on failure script does command to start Print Service on backup print server
    *script then does command on OD LDAP to import mcx settings for backup print server to all applicable managed clients
    The commands are done with "Popen" so they are shell commands. To modify the LDAP directory, I would use the Popen equivalent of "/usr/bin/dscl -u <diradmin user> -P <diradmin pwd> /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -mcximport /<managed client path> <path to mcx settings>"
    It would be much nicer to not have the auth info hardcoded into the script. I've tried logging in to a shell on the server under the diradmin credentials and running the python script, but get permission denied when trying to modify LDAP. I also tried giving a test user account "full" privileges in WGM to modify directory and running script logged into a shell as this user, with the same failure.
    I may be missing something totally obvious, but I am coming up blank..
    Is there any way to script modification to the LDAP directory without supplying credentials in the script?

  • Need help with python script for Deluge

    I am using Deluge 1.3.2 with web server, and all works fine, I use this script in the Deluge settings to execute upon torrent completion:
    #!/bin/bash
    torrentid=$1
    torrentname=$2
    torrentpath=$3
    torrenttimedelta=`/usr/bin/python2 /home/bobby/scripts/deluge/torrentTimeDelta.py $1`
    subject="Started download new torrent!"
    message="$torrentname to $torrentpath"
    echo -e `date`"::Finished downloading torrent:$2 in: $3" with id:$torrentid >> ~/logs/scripts.log
    echo -e `sendEmail -t [email protected] -f [email protected] -u "deluge server notification: torrent $torrentname is complete!" -m "$torrentname has completed downloading at: $torrentpath and took $torrenttimedelta to complete :)" -xu [email protected] -xp password -v -o tls=yes -s email.com` >> ~/logs/scripts.log
    echo ---------------------------------------- >> ~/logs/scripts.log
    This is to email me when a torrent is done and works. What I wanted to add to this email was the time taken to complete the torrent. I have gotten help from Deluge forum in this thread: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop … =9&t=36989  However I think it's something with Python within Arch that is the obstacle, and so that helpful person can't do much more IMO. The python script I'm using is:
    #!/usr/bin/python2
    from deluge.ui.client import client
    from twisted.internet import reactor
    d = client.connect()
    def on_connect_success(result):
    print "Connection was successful!"
    def on_get_torrent_value(value):
    for torrent in value:
    print "%s: %s" % (torrent, value[torrent]["name"])
    client.disconnect()
    reactor.stop()
    client.core.get_torrents_status({}, ["name"]).addCallback(on_get_torrent_value)
    d.addCallback(on_connect_success)
    def on_connect_fail(result):
    print "Connection failed!"
    print "result:", result
    d.addErrback(on_connect_fail)
    reactor.run()
    Now if I call this from shell directly, it works. However, including it with my email script at the top, Deluge itself freezes and no email is sent. I run ps aux | grep deluge and I can see that the script has run, but apparently died and all is just hanging. I kill the script process and Deluge resumes just fine, the email is sent. Kinda confused how to remedy this, appreciate any help Thanks
    P.S. When I get the email, the part that says ""$torrentname has completed downloading at: $torrentpath and took $torrenttimedelta to complete "" shows nothing where $torrenttimedelta should be, it just says "and took to complete"

    [edit]  Sorry, I don't use deluge and I messed up my test script. If the script is executable try `/home/bobby/scripts/deluge/torrentTimeDelta.py $1`
    Are there any other errors? or try running bash with debug output to see if it will tell you something else
    The problem you are having is bash doesn't recognize variables inside the tick marks.
    Hope that helps

    I guess you could say Cheetah is in stable release since 2010 as that was when it was last updated. Python has changed considerably since then.
    Pypl.org shows a list of available packages by ascending Python version. By the time one looks for Cheetah support in Python 2.6, it is strictly Linux. In the Python 2.7 section, there is no Cheetah package listed at all.
    In my estimation, development on Cheetah has been abandoned, and it remains incompatible with Python 2.7.2 as installed on OS X. You should abandon Cheetah. Look at Jinja2, or Django.
    OS X still uses Python scripts for some system activity. If the system version of Python gets messed up with an incompatible module, these system python scripts are compromised too.
    Seriously, look at Pythonbrew. It allows you to create full-blown Python installs and switch between versions and virtual environments.

  • Include Idoc Script in another

    Hi,
    Do we have a way to include (like a library) an .idoc script inside another idoc script ?
    Thanks,
    Sunil

    Absolutely!
    iDocScript contains a feature called include. For more details see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10726/c02_application.htm#CSIDO118

  • Automator workflow hangs indefinitely after running Python script

    Hello,
    I have an Automator workflow set up to use a one-line shell script to launch a Python script. The Python script has a GUI and stays open for the user to interact with it. It launches fine, but I've noticed that my Automator workflow hangs and the spinning workflow cursor won't disappear from the menu bar unless I manually kill the workflow or quit the Python app. Not a huge deal to kill it manually, but annoying.
    I saw someone posted a way to kill an Automator workflow using an AppleScript or shell script embedded within the workflow, but adding that as a second step doesn't work for me—the Automator workflow never gets to that step, presumably because it's waiting for my Python app to close. Anyone know a way to make the Automator workflow kill itself after launching a Python script?

    By default, AppleScript (and, by extension, Automator) will wait for theshell process to exit before continuing the workflow (or exiting if the shell script action is the last step.
    This can be overcome by launching the shell process as a background process, which returns control to AppleScript/Automator, and allows your workflow to continue (or end).
    Just append:
    &> /dev/null
    after your shell command to launch it in the background, e.g.:
    /usr/bin/python /path/to/your.py &> /dev/null
    and you should get what you expect.

  • Python script won't open

    I have finally upgraded to Lion and I am slowly finding out small things that are making me go crazy.
    Before on Snow Leopard, I could just double click a python script and it would open up and do it's thing.
    Now, it won't even open. When you go into the info panel I can't find the Python Launcher option. It only
    gives me other apps such as Sublime Text, Text Wranger etc. How do I change this back to how it was
    behaving in snow leapard, without going through Terminal.
    Does anyone know why my numbers pad on the keyboard doesn't work anymore?

  • MacPro with10.7.3. running a Python script in terminal I see a : "There is no more application memory available on your startup disk". Python uses 10G of 16G RAM and  VM =238G with 1TB free. Log: macx-swapon FAILED - 12. It only happens with larger inputs

    On my MacPro with10.7.3. while running a Python script in terminal, after a while, in several hours actually,  I see a system message for the Terminal app: "There is no more application memory available on your startup disk". Both RAM and VM appear to be fine at this point, i.e. Python uses only 10G of 16G RAM and  VM =238G with ~1TB free. Log reads: " macx-swapon FAILED - 12" multiple times. Furthermore, other terminal windows can be opened and commands run there. It only happens with larger inputs (text files), but with inputs that are about half the size everything runs smoothly.  So the issue must be the memory indeed, but where to look for the problem/fix?

    http://liulab.dfci.harvard.edu/MACS/README.html
    Have you tried with the --diag flag for diagnostics? Or changing verbose to 3 to show debug messages? Clearly one of three things is happening;
    1. You ARE running out of disk space, but once it errors out the space is reclaimed if the output file is deleted on error. When it fails, does your output have the content generated up to the point of termination?
    2. The application (Terminal) is allocated memory that you are exceeding
    3. The task within Terminal is allocated memory that you are exceeding
    I don't know anything about what this does but is there a way to maybe run a smaller test run of it? Something that takes 10 minutes? Just to see if it works.

    2)  In how many ways we can call Python scripts from labview?

     If anyone have samples".VI " please send to me. If you people want any information and clarification  from my side please let me know. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sambasivareddy

    One way is to create a client server app and to send arguments to python (and back) over TCP/IP. This work very well.
    There is an example on the old OpenG Website about this. Look it up.
    Python client to LabVIEW Server.

  • Run a python script from ae

    I keep getting no as an answer unfortunately but I'm asking here. I'm not talking about omino's graphics plugin, I need to use this in more of a scripting scope. As far as I've seen, his plugin does graphics related stuff.

    Run a Python script in what fashion? Just looking to launch it from within AE? You could use the execute() method for a File object to just launch it with it's default app. You might also launch via command line with the system.callSystem() method. If you're on MAC, you might even be able to intigrate it into an AppleScript to launch it as well. As far as launching/using Python directly within AE, this hasn't been possible since "Useful Things" went away.

  • Custom scripts inside a WBEM fetchlet

    Hi,
    Can I use scripts (that query CIMOM instances and get the result) inside a WBEM fetchlet just like we use scripts in a OS Fetchlet ? In the extensibility guide, there is no mention of using custom scripts inside a WBEM fetchlet. Please clarify.
    Thanks.

    Your best bet will be to use the OSLineToken fetchlet to invoke perl or some other executable which knows how to call a python script. The agent has no special handling for python.
